bigred Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 driving to work, just off the expressway (thank god), and the "new" bronco I just bought died on me. alternator fried. had to have the wife bring the trailer out, and my bro bring the 90 out so I could load the "new" one on the trailer and get to work with the beast. I'm just worried about the police getting pissy about that truck again and writing several grand in tickets again. sorry about venting, now I miss the expidition and it's quirks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Odd that the alternator fried just like that. You didn't have high-power stereo stuff that would have overloaded it did you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 That is how I always toast my alternator. Very frustrating at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I say that is the problem with american made vehicles. All they are is look big, consume a lot of gas but for reliability they are nill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I own 3 broncos. I've rebuilt the other 2 (mostly upgrade reasons). this one I just got used after my problem riddled expidition got rear ended sitting on the street in front of my house, thus totaling it (thank god). I just have to hold out 9 more months till the new bronco comes out and this one is either history or is going to be modded to crap (only thing original on my other 90 is the frame). Oh well I'll have it fixed tomorrow night, barring I can actually find an alternator for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sYstEmATiC Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 we get gm vehicles, but ford trucks look better than chevy/gmc IMO. lol i have only had/have one problem with my car and that problem is is that it just started leaking transmissin fluid from one of the hoses, no big deal to fix but im only 16 and im short on money lol. That is how I always toast my alternator. Very frustrating at times. i havent fried mine yet, i just got a cap so i wont too lol, got a punch 75.2 a punch 125.2 and some alpine that is about 300 wts, those oldschool rf amps are mean to my power system.

bigred Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 I'd rather push a ford than drive a chevy (or anything else for that matter). I owe a LOT to Ford. it's the reason my wife's father packed up her whole family from Georgia and moved them up to detroit. if it wasn't for that, I dunno where my life would be now.
