A few Bronco Questions

I have a 1993 5.8 Ford Bronco and i just broke the wires that hold up my tailgate and i was wondering if anybody knew of a website or place that i could get them.

Next i want to change my oil in my truck but i bought the truck used and i dont know how many quarts it takes, so if anybody knows that it would be really helpful.

Thanks for the help

6 quarts go into my 88' - atleast to start with
the cables for the tailgate shouldnt be hard to find i believe they make universal ones that are supposed to fit all tailgates but i seem to remember a relative of mine having trouble making one work

Jeffs Bronco Graveyard carried spare tailgate cables. Also, you can find them on Ebay.

An oil change in these Broncos is typically 5 qts, 6 qts if you change the filter.

www.broncograveyard.com will have the tailgate cables....Just like Kaised said.

Tailgate cables - USE OEM

Just a word of advice, use the Ford original cables. They are a bit pricy, but the after markets have issues, or so I am told. I just bought them about 6 months ago. Oh yes, ford has an obsolete parts department that can locate ANY part that might be lying on a shelf at some dealership. I just got a new ford original tailgate for my 93' bronco. It cost a bit more, but It is heavier metal, anodized, and stamped from original dies.
