  1. 1980-'96 Bronco Tech
    So, got my 1996 Ford bronco 5.8L back from the Mechanic's for a broken water pump bolt (yeah that one) and a thermostat replacement among a few other things. Now the gauge, after a few minutes, decides to flicker and stays all the way stuck to the left. The big problem is the notable clicking...

    Hey yall, My '96 E40D now has almost 200k miles on it. This week I did the 6-liter tune-up without the advancing in timing. It has been running great for a few days, however today it has been struggling to shift into overdrive. No codes are coming up, trans fluid looks fine, and it runs...

    Hello, so I have a 1996 bronco 5.8 When driving home and parking, the truck decided to kill a brake line. While under the truck I noticed the abs line to the passenger tire was leaking “fitting at the abs pump” the lines are very cruddy so it made sense to buy a brake line kit. I purchased one...

    Hey guys, I just achieved 13.9 MPG at my last fill-up on the Bronc'. I started out around 11 MPG when I bought it STOCK in 2020. This is all based on an average mix of city/highway driving and alternating between grandma driving and race car driving, haha. The truck now has 157k miles on it, a...

    Hey y'all! PNW gal shipping her pride and joy over to O'ahu next month. My Husband is in the military so we go where they tell us to go (okay, we both totally wanted Hawai'i). I have done 95% of the work on this '96 on my own. Has a 2.5" lift and 33" tires. Extended radius arms. Saginaw swap...

    Hi there, I'll try and include as much info as possible. Long time lurker, first time poster, so I may be missing some things. I am having overheating issues on my front brakes that have lasted for a while now. It started when my dad and I replaced my ball joints and cranked my bearing nuts too...
  7. General Discussion/ Bronco and Wheeling related.
    Hey friends! I installed a Softopper on my '96 last month. Wanted to share some pics for those interested in making the same purchase. So far I am loving it! Installation required lots of shimming but worked out nicely. Still waiting on the vinyl to stretch so I can get the last couple of...

    My exhaust is cracked in multiple spots and a few brackets have actually broken so i have decided to look into getting it redone. I have been looking into new headers, so if anyone has opinions on long tube or shorty headers that would be appreciated. I really like the look of a dual exhaust so...

    I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a picture of a burnt up bronco and read that there was a recall at some point because of this. I figured I should buy an extinguisher just in case. What kind do some of y’all carry?

    Planning on putting the bassani Y pipe with no cats on my truck. I know I have to weld a bung on for the downstream O2 sensor but I was wondering if anyone had a link to a MIL eliminator or bypass of some sort for it? I can’t seem to find any and I just don’t want to get an engine code from it...

    So one day I was just driving down the road and my radio suddenly stopped working. Discovered that my fuse popped and I replaced it. As soon as I started my truck it popped again. I took my radio out to check all my connections were all in and I put another one in and it popped again. My dome...

    I am wanting to put a bigger cam in my 1996 bronco 5.8. Any recommendations on what cam i should put in? Besides the cam, is there anything else I should upgrade to insure that there will be no issues with it when it runs? Also should I get it tuned after I install it? Any feedback is really...
  14. 1980-'96 Bronco Tech
    Hi everyone, I've scoured the forums but I'm stuck chasing a ghost and hope you can help. 96 XLT keeps blowing fuses when I turn on the left turn signal or the flashers. Blowing both the #7 & #13 fuses. So far I've done all of the following and still can't seem to find the problem. Replaced...

    Hey guys I have a 95 MAF 302 that just all around taking a dump, I found a 96 302 with low miles. My plan is to keep the 95 ecm and wiring harness. I was considering swapping it in and from what I can tell the only differences are the manifolds and the y pipe which I would reuse from my 95 so...
