Had a fun moment the other day. Bronco ran fine driving to my destination. I got back in and it wouldn't turn over. I tried jigging some wires and adding a gallon of gas. I was finally able to get started enough to coast into the gas station.
Filled up the tank (it only filled a little less than the gauge said) but nothing. After a few minutes I noticed that I couldn't hear the fuel pump running. Sure enough the fuel pump wire was loose and securing the connection fixed it.
The next day I was checking fluid levels and noticed that there was a wire that only had 3 strands connected to the battery. I couldn't readily trace where it went so I removed it. Bronco wouldn't start. So I cut and re-attached the wire correctly and started right up and actually felt like it was running better.
This week I replaced the 31x10.5r15 tires with some 33x12.5r15 tires. My Bronco had 8.5" width rims so it was an easy swap. I know some friends with other vehicles have 7.5" width rims and some major tire shops will not install 33s on them.
