I am getting a 1983 BroncoXLT. I am new to the Bronco game and would like to know what the XLT cam standard with. I know that it has power windows but not much more.

Also this truck has some damage to the ign module (some one tried and failed to steal her) How do I replace this?

Whats the deal with the hubs Can I leave them locked all the time or only while in 4wheel?

The tailgate handle does not connect to anything. How do I fix this as well.

Thanks for all your help and pardon the ignorance.

 

Leave the hubs disengaged unless you are in 4x4 mode.

The tailgate should have a rod that passes through a grommet and connects to the inner workings of the tailgate.

That's about all I can help with.

 

Check the red link in my signature for answers to your questions.

The ICM/TFI module has one 7-pin connector and two tiny bolts holding it to the distributor casting below the cap assembly. Replacement requires removing the connector and bolts, applying heat transfer compund to the back (metal) side of the new module and installing the new one in place of the old.

The hubs can remain locked all the time without damage to the transfer case or driveline however, it will leave the frotn driveline connected to the front wheels which puts a lot more drag on the engine when you are not in 4WD so your fuel mileage will suffer. Thats why the selectable hubs are there.

 

You got it done, huh? I'll check it out tomorrow. I am about to hit the sack.

 

greystreak you put alot of time into that FAQ great job !
It should be stuck here on the board.
Also one small suggestion is to add a search fuction.

 

MinnMan,

Rich (WheelMA1) is overseeing the finalization of the FAQ documentation. From what I understand it will be posted as a tech article and appear there when all is said and done. Hopefully the search will be something that can be incorporated but I'm just happy to have a "finished" document to present for now. I only hope I didn't miss anything glaringly obvious.
