To: FORDTRUCKS lofcom.com

I had my the driveshaft on my 1990 Bronco II replaced at around 95,000 miles. It had felt like something was slipping/shuddering for some time, and I put it off until the truck was almost undriveable.
According to my shop manual Ford produced two driveshafts for the Bronco II, one that was CV-jointed and one not. The shop I went to here in Panama City charged around $500 to replace the CV-jointed shaft with a (hand-built?) driveshaft complete with Carden (Cardon?) joints. It works fine so far (+2500 miles).

Hi Jim,
My name is John and I have a 1985 Ford Bronco II "Sport Utility Vehicle..>;)".
I bought it used and it has around 150K miles on it and I am continually going thru U-joints. So far it has been a GREAT rig. I just wish I could avoid the u-joint problem. Any ideas?? Thank you my friend..>;)

I own an '88 Ford Ranger and I'm installing an Alarm System. I need to know what color the wire is that turns on when the ignition turns on (an accessory which doesn't work until the key is inserted and the ignition switch is on)

Can anybody help me out? Please reply asap if you know. Thanks.

use a test light....1st w/ the ignition off...use a good ground..i put the keys in the ignition, and ground on the keys....and start testing...remember which ones are hot w/ the key on off postion.
then turn your key on and go from there.......i'm not at the shop or i could tell you what color....but this will get the job done.
good luck...
rememeber to test your ground connection at the fuse box..

it can be done pretty easy...just get the right tranny and you can go w/ an after market shifter or get an old mustang type shifter.....
i've seen this done for years

Its really weird, when I last removed the tires I torqued both sides equally with a torque wrench. The right hand side ended up being tight as hell (broke a wrench trying to get the lugs off) and the left side worked its way lose.
Funny how tire spin can work them lose (and believe me, I spin them often).

Subject: 302 vs 351?
To: FORDTRUCKS lofcom.com

How can I tell an 302 from a 351 in an '88 F150 4X ??? Is there a letter difference in the VIN code? The F-series pickup owners bible does not give this info and I don't yet have any good repair books for this vehicle (my son's).

thanks for any help.
