Nickname: That dirty old truck
Mileage: 400000
Engine: 1995 4.9L from F-150. Completely transplanted, including computer, air filter, y-pipe, & all accessories. 130A alternator, 1996 Bronco gas tank & pump. K&N drop-in.
Drivetrain: 1978 F-250 NP-435; original '83 NP-208F with around 400Kmi of HARD use (it's almost the only original part on the truck); Six States rear d'shaft; rebuilt front d'shaft; '96 Bronco D44IFS with original rebuilt '83 diff 3.07; rebuilt Ford 8.8" 3.08; F&R antisway bars & Energy polyurethane bushings all around.
Notes: The body tub is an '82, the tailgate is a '96, the doors are '80 & '94 with '94 power mirrors, the front clip is '84, and the camper shell is a '96 with a '94 Explorer roof rack & '82 sliding windows. The rear seat & dash are the original '83 parts, but the instrument cluster has been heavily modified with '88 fuel & volt gauges and a '94 PSOM. The front seats are mixed captain's chairs and the door panels are '93 XLTs with PM, PW, & PL. I've added autolamps, an auto-dimming compass rear-view mirror, aftermarket remote keyless entry. The CB, scanner, & radar detector are hard-wired and mounted overhead. Planned mods include auto-dimming brights, & 4WABS with Traction Control. The bumpers are my own design (mostly hand-built). The front has been powdercoated & includes a fold-down grille guard, energy-absorbing push bumpers, fog lights, 2 storage boxes, recovery points, a spoiler, & a winch mount. Currently, I have a Warn XD9000i, but I'm looking for a Ramsey RE10000 or RE12000X. The rear has an integral hitch receiver & 3 locking storage boxes.

The level sender merely screws to the side of the FDM & its wire plugs onto the tank plate. Before reinstalling the FDM, I removed the EEC PWR relay (which also kills the FP relay), turned the key to RUN, & checked both the old & new senders through...

Tighten the screws enough to form a good seal, but don't strip them. If the drill tip breaks off a screw before its hole is drilled, swap it into an existing hole & reuse the good screw.

This was done on a hot day, so the sealant was squeezed out...

'80-96 rotor replacement requires removing the hub assembly & driving out the lug studs. On '93-96 Broncos only, the tone ring must be removed.

On '87-early '88 with factory (flange-style) manual hub locks, the hub-rotor is one piece.

If the window can't be moved by either switch, find the motor connector shown on the drill chuck and apply 12V power to the ...
