Good luck to everyone up there and try to stay warm. Gator, do you work for the county or State by chance?

No I do not nor would ever I work for any form of government. I honestly dont believe in suckin off the public tit. I am a construction superintendent for a G.C. I am on salary and just happen to have a pretty good boss.

We need to liven this place up a bit. I'll start I guess. I'm Jason I just purchased my first Bronco. I have always wanted one and finally had a chance to get one. The forums are amazing tons of information and I'm sure it will be great getting to know you all and your trucks.

Things that I have done so far:
Oil change
Air Filter
Cleaned MAF
Purchased pads, shoes and rotors (not installed yet)
PCV valve (not installed yet)

Check engine light is on. The code said bad EGR valve. (will be replaced soon)
Transmission fluid looks good.
Coolant looks good.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How can you tell the trans fluid is good by looking at it?

Hopefully I never have to touch a transmission. If something does happen to it I will leave it to the pro's. I know nothing about them. I just want this bronco to run good and for a long time. I plan on fixing everything I can myself. Today when I started it up it blew out a small amount of blue smoke so I need to monitor that.
