Is there a way you can charge it in the van, years ago dad gave me a cigarette lighter socket charger for the black and decker 9.6 batteries, the phone company used those drills, so they had one to charge on the job, don't see that stuff anymore?
I often have to put a pipe on a ratchet to get my wheels off, shops think all 8 lugs should be 500 foot pounds it seems.

I use a long breaker bar from HF and a deep socket instead of a lug wrench for mine.
I made a big mistake when trading my GMC van for my 88. The GMC van had a heavy duty scissor jack in it and I forgot to take it out... It took forever to get it raised up using a hand wrench but it had a wide base and upper support plate and would lift that 3/4 ton conversion van with ease...

I haven't seem one. I wonder what the current draw on the charger is? I have a small inverter that could be used if it's not much. I also carry a breaker bar in my tool set just in case.

I realize that you were not aware of this, but just because the part number prefix has a T in it, does not mean that the part will fit an F100/350, Bronco or Econoline!

:-X15 (sigh) Most ebay sellers haven't a single clue what parts fit, even if they are NOS with part numbers marked on them.



Much appreciated! It looks like I'll be hitting the yards for a manual shifter here in the near future, so I'll try to find this stuff there, but a part number is always the fool-proof way to go. Sadly you are all too correct in that a LOT eBayers have no idea what they're selling. :-drink Cotton

YoGeorge had the right idea here. I scooped up an "Owner Guide" for my van, and there it was on page 113 under "Getting to Know Your Vehicle."

The illustrations are detailed enough (though my phone is too crappy to show) that I now know how everything goes, and thanks to Numbers, I know exactly what's necessary. I appreciate getting pointed in this direction since my van didn't have spare-tire/jack-equipment nor an owner's manual when I got it. Thanks y'all, Cotton

Glad you found the info, Cotton. Owner's manuals usually have a pretty good diagram for stuff like that because the tools usually end up randomly thrown back into a vehicle after being used to change a flat at 2am in the snow. So they make an effort to show you how to put the stuff back a day or three later after you visit the tire store for a patch or replacement tire :)

Have a great holiday season,
George (now Fordless but waiting for the new Bronco and trying to avoid buying an Expedition despite wanting one...)

Does the jack from my '85 Econoline share a PN with any other models? I've tried D5UZ-17080-A without any luck, and I'd really like to have an original style jack that fits where it is supposed to in the rear floor retainer. Thanks again, Cotton
