Auto Repair 1984-90 Ford Bronco High Clutch Effort/ Clutch Fluid Leak – Cracked Mount

Auto Repair 1984-90 Ford Bronco High Clutch Effort/ Clutch Fluid Leak – Cracked Mount
Issue incomplete clutch release and/or hydraulic fluid leaking into the cab from the clutch master cylinder may be caused by the reinforcement plate on the clutch master cylinder separating from the dash panel. The separation of the reinforcementplate reduces the clutch master cylinder pushrod travel. Reinforcement plate separation can also cause deflection of the clutch master cylinder that results in a misalignment of the pushrod to the clutch master cylinder. Misalignment causes the “o” ring in front of the secondary seal to leak hydraulic fluid. Action inspect the truck and, if necessary, use the following service procedure to install a reinforcement kit.

Inspection procedure 1. If the truck is a 1988 or later model, confirm that the starter interlock switch operates (the engine can be started) with the clutch pedal at least 0.5″ (12.7 mm) from the floor. 2. Test drive the truck and check for good clutch release. There should be no grinding of the gears, particularly when shifting from neutral to reverse gear. 3. If the truckpasses these tests, go to the small reinforcement installation procedure section of this article. 4. If either of the above conditions are not met, check the hydraulic system for air. Refer to the suggested bleeding procedure at the end of this article. 5. Test drive the truck and check for improved clutch release.
6. If there is no improvement, proceed as follows: a. Remove the clutch master cylinder pushrod from the release lever pin on the release lever. B. Make sure the hole in the pushrod lines up with the pin, for those units requiring a minimal force c. If it does not line up correctly, install an adjustable pushrod (except 1988 and later models) or replace the clutch release lever (required on 1988 and later models), cutting a new seat on the cross shaft splines. 7. Test drive the truck again, checking for improved clutch release. 8. If there is no improvement, inspect the truck for adequate release bearing travel. * it should be 11mm or greater for full pedal travel. * pedal travel at the center of the pedal pad should be 6.75″ (171mm minimum) or more, fig. 2 . Fig. 2: clutch pedal travel 9. Release bearing travel and gear grinding noise may indicate the following concerns.
* if the release bearing is 11mm or greater and there is grinding of one or two gears only, the concern is probably with the transmission. * if all gears grind, the concern may be with the clutch and/ or pilot bearing which will need replacing. * if the release travel is less than 11mm, check the clutch hydraulic system for air and bleed as necessary. 10. If the release travel is still less than 11mm, with all of the above items eliminated, proceed as follows: a. Raise the hood, while an assistant operates the clutch pedal. B. Watch the clutch master cylinder for significant deflection. C. Look for the dash reinforcement moving away from the dash, figure 3.

Auto Repair 2005 Ford Expedition Spark Plug Removal Instructions

Auto Repair 2005 Ford Expedition Spark Plug Removal Instructions
Some 2004-2005 f-150 and 2005 f-super duty, expedition, and navigator vehicles with a 5.4l 3- valve engine may experience difficulty with spark plug removal which may cause damage to the spark plug and leave part of the spark plug in the cylinder head. Action refer to the following service procedure for techniques to remove the spark plugs and extract broken spark plugs. Service procedure general spark plug removal to remove spark plugs without damage, it is necessary to adhere exactly to this procedure before removal is attempted.

1. Make sure the engine is warm (hand touch after cooling down). Caution: do not remove plugs when the engine is extremely hot or cold soaked. This increases the chance the threads could be damaged. Caution: be sure to wear safety glasses for step 2. 2. Remove the coil-on-plug assemblies and thoroughly blow out the spark plug wells and surrounding valve cover area withcompressed air. 3. Back out the spark plugs, no more than 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn. Apply penetrating oil (aerokroil or equivalent) and fill the spark plug well just above where the jamb nut hex sits. A minimum period of 5 to 10 minutes of soak time is required. The penetrating oil will wick down to the ground electrode shield in this time. Do not work the spark plug back and forth at this point. Caution: excessive penetrant, or repeating the process several times with too much fluid, could introduce enough liquid volume to hydro-lock the engine. Caution: do not use air or power tools for plug removal. The plug must only be removed with hand tools.
4. Slowly turn the spark plug out. Some screeching and high effort may be noticed but, not in every case. The expected removal torque is about 33 lb-ft (45 n.M) but should decrease on the way out. If it is higher, try turning the spark plug back in a half turn, then back out again. If the turning torque still seems high, repeat the back and forth rotation along with some penetrating oil to reduce turning effort. Separated/broken spark plug removal if the plug does come apart even after following the general spark plug removal procedure, it will break in one of two modes: mode 1: the ground electrode shield is left behind as an empty shell (fig. 1 ). Fig. 1: ground electrode shield left behind as empty shell mode 2: the porcelain center and ground electrode shield is left behind and only the upper jamb nut comes out. In this case more soaking is required and long-reach nose pliers should be used to grasp and remove the porcelain center from the ground electrode shield (fig. 2 ).

Auto Repair 2009 Ford F-Super Duty 6.4L—Diesel Calibration Updates
ISSUE Some 2009 F-Super-Duty 250-550 vehicles and equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine may require a calibration update which will cover several different concerns. ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS – EXHAUST SYSTEM REGENERATION This document provides additional information on the conditions of normal operation while the vehicle is in the exhaust filter regeneration process. These are normal conditions and do not require repair. For most driving conditions, normal exhaust filter regeneration will begin anywhere from 100-600 miles (161-966 km) from the completion of the last regeneration cycle. Each occurrence will last from 10-40 minutes.

The exhaust filter regeneration process will not initiate or may be terminated when: • The vehicle is stopped at idle for more than 5 minutes in gear. • The vehicle is operated in Power Take Off (PTO) mode. • Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) is engaged. • The gear selector is placed in Park or Neutral. Vehicle characteristics change during the exhaust filter regeneration process: • Some white smoke in cold ambient temperatures is normal. The amount of white smoke during this time will be increased during exhaust filter regeneration. • The engine’s peak power is modestly limited during regeneration. • Engine responsiveness may be slightly different than normal operation during regeneration.
• Exhaust smell may be noticed during the exhaust filter regeneration process – especially on new vehicles. • The powertrain sound will be different during exhaust filter regeneration including air induction noise, combustion noise, flutter on deceleration or shut down. SERVICE PROCEDURE Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to the latest calibration before performing diagnostics and clear all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) after programming. For DTC’s generated after reprogramming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures. Reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) release 61.19 and higher or 62.07 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2009.7 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com. When reprogramming the PCM on automatictransmission equipped vehicles the Transmission Control Module (TCM) will also automatically be reprogrammed to the latest level.
