Blinkers??? Aw hell, never use em. But if you really have to, I can give you the name of a guy that has the best stuff.....real expensive though. Cost you about $50 a pint. But what I really need help with is a left handed screw driver to change my muffler bearings.....PLEASE HELP!!!! :shocked:

hahaha! I love the lowering kit but they need a lift kit. Maybe some 6" rubber that you nail onto your existing tires?


oh and for the blinkers I use graphite windshield wiper gear oil lubricant octaine booster leak stop cleaner. Only cost $159.99 a quart so you'll need about 6 quarts, 8 if you change the filter which I recommend doing after every 3000 blinks.

Even Funnier . . .you dug it back up and didn't tell him either:histerica

OK then . . .let me give this a try but I aint good with instructions and I will NOT be held responsible for any animals, wifes, children, elderly, mime's, clowns, rednecks, idiots, gays, liberals, democraps, republicant's, aww heck I aint responsible for any thing :beer

1. Sitting in the passenger's seat open the hood by pulling the "Emergency" cable release lever.

2. Move to the front of the truck and open the hood, thus exposing what is known as the "Engine Compartment" The thing in the middle is the engine and it holds the squirrels that makes the truck move. The previusly mentioned muffler bearings make continous noise after the starter gets them moving thus they will not stop running until you turn the key to the off position which actually turns on a red "STOP" light inside the engine that they can seethus they no to stop. Sometimes a left handed screw driver has to be used to pry a stuck bearing loose.

3. The mentioned blinker fluid is located in a coffe can looking thing on the right side of the truck. Right side is the side to the left when sitting in the drivers seat or when standing in the front of the truck then its the right side ;)

*IMPORTANT* I know it looks like a coffe can but it holds NO COFFEE. The contents of this can is not condensed liquid coffee like what is found in military facilities across the world. It is indeed your blinker fluid resivoir!!

4. Now that we have found WHERE
the fluid goes, the question needs to be asked how to get it in there. :banghead

Does anybody know how to get the fluid inside the damn thing? Please tell me cause I think mines 8 qts low, the filter is dry and nothing but dust is coming out :banghead

Maybe I need to rotate the tires first to find the opening:whiteflag

You guys are too late, he gave up and sold his poor bronco since he couldn't get help here. It is the one in my signature and I made sure she has plenty of blinker fluid. I was able to get the blinker fuild in there by letting it get sucked up in the vacuum. It worked its way through the system and found its way to the blinkers. Geez this is an old thread I have owned it now for over 2 years. :histerica:rockon

since my blinkers are all busted out my left arm has become my blinker, which means my right arm pours my blinker fluid down my throat. Since gas is so expensive I have to cut corners and use Natural Light for blinker fluid.

It depends on the color of the bottle the beer comes out of. If youve added food coloring and some can only be changed on saint patricks day, if your truck is green,
Killians is a severe duty blinker fluid, and can only be changed if you own a red truck on valentines day.
Or on the day of tomatoes in italy but i dont have the patience to explaine that.
So i would say you have just as much blinker fluid around as beer, if not a couple ounces more. ;)

i found said blinker fluid here for 8.99. Is this a good deal? the only problem is they are out of stock. I guess that means a lot of other ppl are having blinker problems too. i can always tell when mine are a quart low cause they start doing this annoying ticking noise? anyways here's the link. they also have muffler bearings on sale for 49.99. pretty good buy if you ask me. i always keep spare muffler bearings on rides. :rofl:

Yeah, I was going to replace my blinker fluid too. I haven't done it since I owned the Bronco, so I figured I'm WAYYYY overdue. So I pop the hood and take a look, wouldn't you know the previous owner removed the tubing to the blinkers and installed wires there!?!?! WTF??? How the hell is the blinker fluid going to circulate properly with out tubing? And what the hell are the wires for???

So now I have to fix my blinkers. Do you think fish tank tubing would work I have plenty of that. Or do I need to make a trip to Auto Zone? Someone please help.

It can be done through the thing-a-majiggy, and i have done a few like this, BUT it is much safer and easier for the shadetree if you put it in through the canooter valve. it sits on the pass side fenderwell on fords. Sometimes the cap will be rusted on in which case, said valve needs to be replaced. they are still availible through FoMoCo as part number BR-549. i hope this helps
