| Notes: |
Bought from my buddy who bought it to fix up and sold it to me after he fixed the mechanical problems. Now it's up to me to fix the remaining functional problems (rear window won't roll down, driver's side door doesn't unlock easily, etc). Have lots of plans for it but first is to fix these minor issues. |

On my '86 Bronco the air pump is where I was expecting the alt to be (based on other write ups).

My quick, dirty and extremely simple solution to lifting the top off my bronco by myself. I put a bracket on each end of 2 2x4's, set them under each side of the top (after pulling it back from the cab a little), string a ratchet strap from the ceili...

This is how the alt goes in from underneath. Takes a little wiggling to get both arms in and out.

All hooked up from the top. I had to get an extended belt for the air pump. I asked for 2 inches if I remember correctly. 1 or 1.5 probably would have been better as I almost max out its movement. The belt I got from napa was 38-7325 IIRC...That was ...

Maintenance & Modification Logs
| Date | Type | Mileage | Title / Description | $ Amount | | 04/08/07 | Modification | 113000 | Brake job (F350 Swap)
Replaced rear wheel cylinders, brake booster and Master Cylinder with F350 (1 ton) parts. Also replaced the rear brake shoes and flushed the old fluid out. | 150.00 | | 10/20/06 | Repair | 113000 | Passenger Rear Wheel Seal and Bearing
While replacing the rear brakes I noticed a wheel seal leak. The axle was pulled and the bearing, race and seal were replaced. The axle was refilled with differential fluid. | 30.00 | | 06/02/06 | Modification | 110000 | Replaced Alternator
Upgraded alternator to a high amp 3G (junkyard). Later replaced with a brand new one do to a faulty regulator. Also upgraded charging cables to 1/0 gauge to better carry the 140 amps to the rest of the truck. Added a gatorback belt to help stop squealing. It only squeals for a split second at start now. that should get fixed after I do ignition upgrades and an electric fan...I hope... | 200.00 | | Total | 380.00 |
