Today we are getting hammered with a two foot snow fall. I decided to bring the '90 bronco home. It started right up after sitting for about 8-10 weeks. I stopped for gas, and then to Dunkin Donuts for coffee, just in case I got stuck in traffic. The parking lot was on a pretty steep incline...

On my 90 Bronco the wiper motor replacement was pretty straight forward, and it took about 1.5 hours. If I had my battery operated drill/screw driver it would have been a bit quicker. Also if I knew what I was doing before hand it would have been a little quicker. I did glance through my Haynes...

I have a '90 bronco with an E4OD and sometimes I have to hold the shifter high up into park for it to crank. It's not my DD and I hardly ever use it, so its not real high on my list of things to take care of, but if I remember correctly my haynes manual said that it may be due to a worn...

Just out of curiosity What years did Ford put the various automatic transmissions in and what were their main differences? C4 C6 AOD AODE E4OD did I miss anything? E4OD I am pretty sure that they started using the E4OD in the '90 broncos. Mine has one. It is an electronically...

I have a '90 Eddie Bauer with a remote start and alarm. Did they come with them from the factory? OR is it an aftermarket? I have an EVTM but it makes no mention of it. The battery is old, but over 12 volts. My NSS, or Shift lever position sensor is on its way out, in that 20% of the times, I...

I didn't think that bronco's had four wheel ABS until '96. Oh well, I guess it was an option earlier. I have a '90 that only has RABS so I can't go out and take a look at it. However I have changed a couple of sensors in my windstar. I'll make a GIANT assumption that the systems are similar...

Has anyone replaced the seal in the steering box for the section shaft that goes to the pitman arm? Can it be done with the box in the vehicle? Are there any tricks or things to watch out for? Mine is leaking like a sieve. I pulled the pitman arm... used a puller, then some heat, and a...

Fuel pump relay switches, and other relays are similar to the starter solinoid, in that they make a high amperage connection through a switched low amperage connection. Here is my fuel pump relay. There are two smaller connections, and two larger connections. TO test it, apply 12v to one of...

We have a member here... Matt V, who is trying to save a bronco from the graveyard. His engine is a mess. There are many sensors, and actuators that are not connected to a vacuum line that should be, and electrical actuators that are (perhaps) not properly connected. Since BroncoZone members...

So I'm getting closer to replacing my ball joints. Bought the parts, and rented the press. The directions that came with the joints state that "THE CAMBER SLEEVE MUST BE RPLACED IN ANY AND ALL CASES OF BROKEN, BENT OR LOOSE UPPER BALL JOINT STUDS." My upper passenger side is worn. I called my...

I made a home depot run to pick up some mulch, and a piece of sod. I'm getting tired of seeing dog urine brown spots on my lawn, and then having to wait for the grass to grow back. So as it goes, I got the mulch and they were out of sod. Before I left home, I noted that the check engine light...

I bought a new door lock actuator and decided to put it in the passenger door. It is a relatively easy job, once one know how to do it. I spent more time trying to figure out how and where the actuator connects to the locking mechanism than it took to do the entire job, because I could not see...

Has anyone traveled through Stokes? I called the ranger station ans was told that there are a couple of unmaintained roads up there that we could travel on, I was wondering if it is worth the trip.

If it is not too rainy and nasty out tomorrow, I think I will tackle my door locks. They don't lock with the driver, nor the passenger switch. It seems a little odd to me, but the driver's switch has six buttons, three each up and down, for the two windows and the locks. However the one most...

I may have enough time and the weather may be cooperative enough for me to finally get around to replacing my TPS. IS there a trick to replacing it whitout taking stuff apart? I tried to get at the two retaining screws, and it looks like it would be easiest to remove the entire throttle body...

This is how to test the in dash rear window / tailgate window Up Down Switch. This diagram is positioned so that the solid white arrow is on top. The switch has three settings. Neutral, the switch depressed for the window to go down, and the switch depressed so that the window goes up. I...

I've got a '90 bronc 302 with 33 in tires. It came stock with 31's I didn't change the gear for the spedometer when the we went to 33's. I don't know how to explain this clearly. It seems that the truck is usually running too low RPMs for the amount of throttle. I.E. it upshifts too soon...

I have a 1990 E4OD tranny. Its probably due for a fluid change. Is Mercon still the recommended fluid for it? Thanks in advance, joe The rig has 124,000 miles on it if that makes a difference.

I have a '90 Eddie Bauer with what is I guess a standard bumper. There is a thick reinforceing plate that bolts to the frame on both sides, and is drilled for a trailer hitch. I have read that a typical hitch ball is rated at 2000 lbs. I have also read that it is not a good idea to use a hitch...

The 1996 owner's manual is 386 pages long. Here is a 15 page snippet of it discussing how to use the transfer case to engage high and low 4x4 and howto engage auto and manual locking hubs. 96Bronco4x4Shifting.pdf
