Glad you finally filled it up / . Your inaccurate responses to questions lead to a lot of false conclusions

Good luck,

Don't be an a$$. It's all about troubleshooting. Just be glad he got it running smoothly now.

It's all about troubleshooting.

Well, not to be contentious but SeaBronc was right. It worked out well enough this time but it IS difficult to diagnose a prob without an *accurate* description of what's going on & I think if you read thru ALL the questions & responses you can see where there was some confusion & why. No biggie, no harm no foul, but there's nothing wrong with constructive critisizm, he wasn't rude or mean about it but simply pointed out that inaccurate responses can lead to wildly off-base suggestions. Everyone needs good intel to work with, simple as that. He just said what a lot of us already knew.

i never got off topic or said anything else different you guys did, you guys started talking about white smoke, bad head gasket, coolant in my oil, and i said nothing about me having problems, i was just low on coolant like i said many times.

Exactly, and you can see in one of my earlier comments that I did justify that. You stayed on topic. Everyone else jumped to bad theories.

 

[barrett86]

well, its over and problem solved merry christmas everyone.

 

[Broncobill78]

the smoke was white and it was thick if i applied the gas pedal.so what would that mean, and now that its cold i have a tick that goes with the engine lower half sounds like, sounds towards rear lower of motor,

Ran it so low on coolant that the hose sucked flat & starved the waterpump to the point where it was loud enough to scare him silly, *then* reports thick white smoke & engine noise and asks what that MIGHT mean. Yet everyone here who thought *head gasket* apparently "jumped to bad theories" ???? I think it's fair to say that most guys who drive their trucks around with "NO COOLANT" (his quote & caps, not mine) eventually have head gasket issues. And just where did that cracked block suggestion first come from anyways ? Absolutely amazing & it proves once again that denial is NOT just a river in Africa.

The truck is fixed & the issues are moot, I can only *hope* that one of the mods simply closes out the topic at this point.

 

[barrett86]

no i said i didnt have thick white smoke on several occassions, i just said that i had noise in the engine compartment but no smoke. re-read my first statement.and i cant deny anything cuz u can just go back and re-read everything. think again man. GUYS READ FULLY WHAT WAS TYPED BEFORE YOU POST COMMENTS SO WE DONT RUN INTO $HIT LIKE THIS AGAIN.

 

[Broncobill78]

Well, uhm, yeah you did. Go back & reread your own post. I never said that you wrote it on "several occasions", simply that you wrote it. First you said you didn't have any smoke & then you said you DID have smoke, to be honest it was a little confusing. The quotes I posted weren't pulled out of thin air, they're quotes from what you wrote & you posted, that's *why* I quoted you twice when I replied to this thread, your words, not mine. You did in fact say that you had white smoke & it was thick when you stepped on the gas. 12/16/07 at 8:01pm, go back & read what you wrote. THAT'S why it was mentioned that accurately reporting the problems would lead to less confusion. It's right there in black & white for anyone who wants to take the time to read it, 9th post in the series & the very same one in which you also claimed to have engine noise and asked what *might* be causing it. You wote it, you posted it & quite frankly I have nothing else to say on the matter.

 

[barrett86]

read before that because it would say when i first got my bronco i had white smoke.

Thanks, but ill add this since its cold i can see the smoke, and its white so but when it was summer i saw nothing, buttttt i add that when it sat if i ran it at idle since it wasnt leagally able to be driven, the smoke was white and it was thick if i applied the gas pedal.so what would that mean, and now that its cold i have a tick that goes with the engine lower half sounds like, sounds towards rear lower of motor, whats back there. it goes away eventually after warming up. grrr i guess i need to save up money til summer comes so i can do some replacing and possibly preventative maintence.lol.

my bad i forgot to put WHEN ITS COLD at the start. i forgot some details this early post was based on mostly about whne i first bought the bronco so my bad guys, promise i wont do it again. lol
