My dash lights and overhead light are very dim (on my '84 BII), even when the headlight knob is turned to maximum. Turning the knob will turn them on or off, but they will not brighten. I replaced all the bulbs with new LED's and the problem is the same. Is this a problem with the...

I need some help with the power wires for the new head unit I am installing to (finally replace the stock am/fm cassette deck. The dash as a plug with 3 wires that I'm trying to figure out. The stock unit plugged into these. One wire is yellow with black stripes, and it has power when the...

The original rubber radius arm bushings on the BII are shot. I'm looking to replace with poly bushings, but have a couple of questions: 1. Are kits like this http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-93004-radius-arm-bushings-84-90-red.html for only one side or both sides? 2. I noticed that some...

I got the lower cushions out of the Bronco II. But, how do you remove the center bracket for the upper cushions? EDIT: I figured it out

Does anyone know what center cap came with these wheels? Looking on the Bay, I see chrome and black center caps that look like they would work. But, what was the original? I'm looking to buy a set. [/IMG]

I replaced the valve stem seals on my '84 a few weeks ago. The seals cost about $10, but the job was a bitch to do. If you have A/C, like I do, It's almost impossible to remove the last two seals on the passenger side. My old valve seals were the originals, and had 142k miles on them...

My engine seems to run fine now that I've done the DuraSpark, but it is difficult to crank (hot or cold). Before DuraSpark, the engine started easily, but ran poorly. Now, I have to pump the gas, and keep the accelerator pedal floored to get it to crank. What problems should I be looking for?

This article I came across is a couple of years old: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/features/0408phr_worst_automobile_engines/index.html Here's what they say about the Ford 2.8: "Offered in the downsized Mustang and Capri, as well as Ranger pickups, the Ford 2.8 remains a rickety memory...

How do you think my BII would look with a paintjob like the blue Toyota FJ cruiser? I have a blue interior, so sticking with blue colors would probably be best. I think the white top might look cool. What do you think? [/IMG]

I've been replacing the valve seals, and I don't know how I'm going to be able to get the last two done on the passenger side. The problem is the a/c box is so close, I can't get my valve spring compressor tool positioned. Any suggestions? Also, for you mechanics, just curious as to how...

I am almost finished with the Duraspark conversion. I have the new harness on, new distributor, module, and carb. couple of questions: 1. Can I use one of the existing red vacuum lines for the distributor? 2. The PCV valve hose ran to the back of the old carb. On the new carb...

On Saturday, July 10, I ordered $375 worth of parts from NAPA online. I immediately received an email with my order confirmation. By Thursday, July 15, I had not received a shipping confirmation. I went online to check my order status, and it was still "pending." I called NAPA customer...

I'd like to replace original steering wheel on my '84 BII with a newer steering wheel. My BII has cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Will the steering wheels from newer Ford Explorers (with cruise control) work on the BII? Or any other Ford vehicles? Has anyone done this...

I am collecting the parts for the Duraspark conversion. While debating if I want to go the 2bbl vs 4 bbl carb, I have not been able to locate the 2150 2 bbl car at the auto parts chain stores' online sites. Any suggestions for finding this carb (preferably new, remanufactured, or already...
