Engine Control Module: Description and Operation
Fig. 7 Processor & calibration assembly
The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA), Fig. 7, is the brain of the system. It is a solid state
pre-programmed micro-computer which consists of a processor assembly and a calibration
assembly, Fig. 7. The processor assembly contains the electronic circuitry which performs the
following functions within a fraction of a second:
a. Choose one of the sensor inputs for evaluation.
b. Converts the input to a form usable by the computer to use that signal for calculations.
c. Choose the proper operating strategy necessary for the operating conditions.
d. Perform spark, EGR, air/fuel ratio, canister purge, throttle kicker and other calculations.
e. Send electrical output control signals to the ignition module and control solenoids to adjust timing
and dwell, EGR flow rate, thermactor air mode and throttle kicker mode.
The processor assembly also contains a separate power supply which provides a continuous
reference voltage of about 9 volts nominal to the sensors. The calibration assembly, Fig. 7,
contains electronic circuitry which provides calibration equations necessary for specific vehicle
application for use by the processor assembly, and provides adjustments for octane problems. The
calibration assembly is mounted on the processor assembly. The power relay supplies battery
voltage to the EEC system and is mounted on the right hand side of the ECA mounting bracket. It
also protects the ECA from possible damage due to reversed polarity.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

This sensor incorporates a thermistor in a brass housing with an integral wiring connector
extending from the body. This sensor is installed in the heater outlet fitting of the intake manifold.
The thermistor is a resistor whose resistance value is high at low temperatures and decreases as
the temperature rises. The computer applies a voltage to the sensor and monitors the resultant
voltage drop across the thermistor.

ISSUE: A "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor may come from some A/C systems. As
the calibration of the clutch cycling pressure switch drifts downward, the evaporator core
temperature may drop too low. This results in a "refrigerator type smell" or "chemical type" odor as
the system cycles on and off.

AEROSTAR 1988-89 ECONOLINE ISSUE:
Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary
replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system
pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off)
rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.
ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic
charts before replacing the pressure switch.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should
be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).
2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
^ Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
^ Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure
switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wires are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two
terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT
DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis.
Repair as necessary.
3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48~ F (9~ C), the system
pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).
4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the
switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

5. If the pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch cycle rate is faster than the normal rate of 2 to 5
cycles per minute, the system is probably low on refrigerant. Check that the system contains the
correct refrigerant charge by following the correct diagnostic chart (Figures 1 or 2).

Barometric Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 5 Barometric & manifold absolute pressure sensor
These two sensors, Fig. 5, are combined into one unit. The BMAP sensor monitors the absolute
value of the intake manifold pressure and atmospheric pressure (manifold absolute pressure is
defined as barometric pressure minus manifold vacuum). Atmospheric pressure changes are
converted into an electrical signal and fed to the computer for evaluation. From this input, the
computer determines the EGR flow requirements depending on the altitude at which the vehicle is
being operated. Intake manifold pressure changes are converted by a pressure-sensing element
and electrical circuit by the computer. The signal is used by the computer to determine part throttle
spark advance, EGR flow rate and air/fuel ratio.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
This sensor incorporates a thermistor in a brass housing with an integral wiring connector
extending from the body. This sensor is installed in the heater outlet fitting of the intake manifold.
The thermistor is a resistor whose resistance value is high at low temperatures and decreases as
the temperature rises. The computer applies a voltage to the sensor and monitors the resultant
voltage drop across the thermistor.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig.6 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
Fig.7 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

EGR Valve Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 6 EGR valve position sensor
This sensor, Fig. 6, is used to monitor the EGR valve pintle position. The computer applies a
reference voltage to the EVP sensor, and the resulting signal from the EVP sensor is proportional
to the amount of exhaust gases flowing through the EGR valve pintle into the intake manifold.
Depending on the input from this and other sensors, the computer can increase or decrease EGR
flow by activating or deactivating a pair of solenoid vacuum valves.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

Fig.8 - MCU System Wiring Circuit
1. Make sure that the following three steps are properly conducted in order to simulate spark knock
conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 5 Barometric & manifold absolute pressure sensor
DESCRIPTION
These two sensors, Fig. 5, are combined into one unit. The BMAP sensor monitors the absolute
value of the intake manifold pressure and atmospheric pressure (manifold absolute pressure is
defined as barometric pressure minus manifold vacuum).
Atmospheric pressure changes are converted into an electrical signal and fed to the computer for
evaluation. From this input, the computer determines the EGR flow requirements depending on the
altitude at which the vehicle is being operated.
Intake manifold pressure changes are converted by a pressure-sensing element and electrical
circuit by the computer. The signal is used by the computer to determine part throttle spark
advance, EGR flow rate and air/fuel ratio.

Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 4 Exhaust gas oxygen sensor
This sensor, Fig. 4, is installed in the exhaust manifold and provides information to the ECA as to
the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. It monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases and
generates an output of .6 to 1.0 volt when detecting a rich exhaust gas mixture (absence of
oxygen) and less than .2 volts when detecting a lean mixture (presence of oxygen). This constantly
changing voltage signal is sent to the ECA for analysis. The outer surface of the sensor is a
threaded steel housing and shell. The sensor body is protected by a shield pressed into the
housing where it projects into the exhaust manifold. Exhaust gases contact the sensor body by
entering through flutes in the sensor shield. A vent is provided in the shell to allow atmospheric air
to enter the inner portion of the sensor body. The sensor connects to the vehicle wiring harness
with a connector that is attached to the inner (positive) terminal. The shell is the negative terminal
of the sensor and provides the return signal path through the engine block.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

Fig. 6 EGR valve position sensor
This sensor, Fig. 6, is used to monitor the EGR valve pintle position. The computer applies a
reference voltage to the EVP sensor, and the resulting signal from the EVP sensor is proportional
to the amount of exhaust gases flowing through the EGR valve pintle into the intake manifold.
Depending on the input from this and other sensors, the computer can increase or decrease EGR
flow by activating or deactivating a pair of solenoid vacuum valves.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig.6 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
Fig.7 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

Knock Sensor: Testing and Inspection Component Testing
Fig.8 - MCU System Wiring Circuit
1. Make sure that the following three steps are properly conducted in order to simulate spark knock
conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

Page 315
observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.
Figure 7 - Radius Arm
Figure 8 - Radius Arm
2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the

contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot.
4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the cam with the
1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied.

5. Figure 9 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for F-150 4x2 for example will be obtained
by mounting the cam with the self-tapping screw in
the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.

1. TSB No. 82-10-18 provides a 1/2 degree adjustment per side to correct a caster split of 1
degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.
Figure 7 - Radius Arm
Figure 8 - Radius Arm
2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the

contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot.
4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the cam with the
1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied.
Figure 9
5. Figure 9 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for F-150 4x2 for example will be obtained
by mounting the cam with the self-tapping screw in
the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.

1. TSB No. 82-10-18 provides a 1/2 degree adjustment per side to correct a caster split of 1
degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service

A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.

2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges

The following are methods for adjusting caster on vehicles with stamped front axles:
1. TSB No. 82-10-18 provides a 1/2 degree adjustment per side to correct a caster split of 1
degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.

Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to
modify both the right and left hand radius arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the
template with the printed side downward. The template locates off of one of two existing holes in
the radius arm. The E100-350 template is shaped to match the contours of the radius arm.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.

1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.

2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot.
4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the cam with the
1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied.

5. Figure 9 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for F-150 4x2 for example will be obtained
by mounting the cam with the self-tapping screw in
the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.

The following are methods for adjusting caster on vehicles with stamped front axles:
1. TSB No. 82-10-18 provides a 1/2 degree adjustment per side to correct a caster split of 1
degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

Fig. 8 Measuring Riding Height
Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within {1/8} inch side to side
1980-87 E-100-350. On 1980-87 F-100-350 models, the left side ride height should be within
0-{3/8} inch higher than the right side ride height. On 1980-87 F-150-350 (4x4) and Bronco, the
front ride heights should be within {3/16} inch side to side. Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8. If the vehicle
ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or slightly load empty
vehicles on one side. If the ride heights cannot be brought within specifications, verify correct
spring installation. The ride height variations stated, are for checking purposes only. The vehicle
does not have to operate within these specifications. Check and correct as necessary all tire
inflation pressures, then check front tires for the same size, ply rating and load range. Check front
wheel bearings and adjust as necessary. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel
alignment with suitable alignment equipment. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare
caster and camber readings to those listed in the ``Wheel Alignment Specifications Chart''. If the
caster and camber angles exceed the specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension
components. Replace as necessary. Alignment equipment indicates a true reading only when the
vehicle's frame is horizontal. Therefore, if the frame is not level (due to tire, spring or load
differences), the caster angle reading must be modified to compensate for the frame angles. If the
front is higher than the rear, subtract the amount of angle from the reading. If the front is lower than
the rear, add the angle. To check frame angle, use a spirit protractor, and take the frame angle
measurement on the lower frame flange at the flat area immediately adjacent to the rear spring
front hanger.

on 1981-87 F-250-350 4 x 4 models with leaf spring front suspension can be adjusted by inserting a
shim between the spring and axle. Shims are available in increments of 0°, 1° and 2°. The 0° shim
is used to adjust side to side ride height when an angled shim is installed on the opposite side of the
axle. On all other models, the caster angle is designed into the axle and is not adjustable. The
camber angle may be adjusted by means of mounting sleeves placed on the upper ball joint, Figs.
9, 10 and 11. Four sleeves are available in {1/2}° camber increments to allow a 3° range of
adjustment from - 1 {1/2}° to +1 {1/2}°.
TOE-IN, ADJUST Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can be adjusted while
toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2. Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods
equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not in normal position, make necessary rod
adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.

AIR CLEANER SEALING - 4.9L (1982-83 F-SERIES AND BRONCO ONLY) AND ALL UNITS
WITH 5.0L, 5.8L OR 7.5L ENGINES. UNITS OPERATED IN DUSTY AND/OR OFF-ROAD
CONDITIONS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES SEALING OF 7200VV CARBURETOR ON UNITS SO EQUIPPED
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 E, F AND BRONCO
This is a re-write of TSB 83-25-21 (December 12, 1983). The air cleaner part numbers listed in the
TSB are of insufficient detail and are therefore being deleted from the TSB.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listing for these part numbers.
The subject vehicles operated in dusty/off-road conditions may experience an air cleaner sealing
concern which could lead to engine oil consumption or, on 7200 VV carburetor equipped vehicles,
a poor running condition. The following procedure should minimize these concerns.
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the engine and remove any loose debris from inside the
tray. Replace the air cleaner assembly (9600) on all 1983 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L and, 7.5L equipped light
trucks except the 1983 Econoline with the 4.9L engine.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listings for these part numbers.
2. Wipe the sealing surfaces clean on the tray and cover and inspect for any dents or damage that
would prevent a good seal. Replace any damaged components.
3. Inspect the air cleaner to carburetor gasket for proper installation. If the gasket appears crimped
or damaged, replace it with a new sticky-back gasket. Prior to replacing the gasket, clean the
carburetor flange. Install the new gasket sticky side down and press all the gasket down to assure
a tight bond.
Gasket parts numbers: 4.9L - C8DZ-9654-A, 5.0L/5.8L/7.5L - D8ZZ-9654-A.
FIGURE 24
4. For F-Series and Bronco only, relocate the zip tube inlet. a) Detach the zip tube inlet from the
radiator support. b) Move the inlet to the top rear of the wheel wellhousing per Figure 24. c) Secure
the zip tube to the top of the housing with a nylon tie-down
strap. NOTE: At high temperatures, an octane ping may occur. If it persists, the zip tube must be
reinstalled to the radiator support. 5.
Replace the PCV filter. For 4.9L, 5.0L-2V, 5.8L-2V and 7.5L-4V engines replace the PCV filter in
the air cleaner with an in-line filter.
a. Remove and discard the crankcase breather cap to PCV filter hose (closure hose), PCV filter in
the air cleaner, the adapter at the air cleaner and the adapter retaining clip.

b. Drill a 5/16" hole in the side wall of the air cleaner approximately 12" to the rear of the existing
crankcase closure hole for 5.0L and 5.8L and approximately 6" to the rear on 7.5L. (The 4.9L does
not need a new hole).
c. Install a 1/2" hose (E2AZ-6853-A) to the existing adaptor in the valve cover oil fill cap (2 pcs.
2-5/8" long for 4.9L, 18" long for 5.0L/5.8L, 12" long for 7.5L).
d. At a convenient location, cut the hose and install an in-line filter E2AZ-6A768-A for 5.0L, 5.8L
and 7.5L. On the 4.9L, install the filter between the 2-5/8" long pieces installed in (c.).
NOTE: Install the filter with the wire mesh toward the oil fill cap. The mesh can be seen by looking
into the end of the filter assembly.
e. Install an adapter E43Z-9E606-A in the air cleaner and attach using a retaining clip 383741-S.
Center the adapter elbow in the new hole for 5.0L, 5.8L and 7.5L. Use the existing PCV filter
(closure) pack hole for 4.9L.
f. Cut the PCV filter (closure) hose to proper length and attach to the adapter.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Distributor, Ignition > Distributor
Advance Unit > Component Information > Description and Operation > Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism > Page 522
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

on subject.
FIGURE 12
FIGURE 13
For 1981 through 1983 model year vehicles, EEC distributors used on the EEC Systems had the
"second generation" rotor (Figure 12). The 1983 model 5.0L EEC equipped Light Truck employs a
conventional rotor (Figure 13). PROCEDURE FOR ROTOR ALIGNMENT:
1. Remove the distributor cap and wires and position them to one side.
2. Remove the rotor.
3. To check rotor alignment:
a. Rotate the engine until the No. 1 piston is on the compression stroke. NOTE: Verification of
being on the compression stroke is essential to correct rotor alignment. If the piston is on the
exhaust stroke, the rotor can be misaligned by 180~.
b. Slowly rotate the engine until the alignment tool can be installed.

This unit is used in conjunction with some of the other Ford systems. Its purpose is to further
reduce emissions by delaying the spark advance during rapid acceleration and by cutting off
advance immediately upon deceleration. Fig. 25.
This plastic disc-shaped valve is installed in the carburetor vacuum line at the distributor advance
diaphragm. It is a one way valve and will not operate if installed backwards. The black side of the
valve must be toward the carburetor. This valve cannot be repaired.
NOTE: On all systems which employ the dual diaphragm distributor the line which has high vacuum
at idle (normal operating temperature) is
connected to the secondary (retard) side of the distributor vacuum advance unit. This is the
connection closest to the distributor cap.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 14-20 Nm (10-15 ft-lbs).
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

WITH 5.0L, 5.8L OR 7.5L ENGINES. UNITS OPERATED IN DUSTY AND/OR OFF-ROAD
CONDITIONS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES SEALING OF 7200VV CARBURETOR ON UNITS SO EQUIPPED
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 E, F AND BRONCO
This is a re-write of TSB 83-25-21 (December 12, 1983). The air cleaner part numbers listed in the
TSB are of insufficient detail and are therefore being deleted from the TSB.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listing for these part numbers.
The subject vehicles operated in dusty/off-road conditions may experience an air cleaner sealing
concern which could lead to engine oil consumption or, on 7200 VV carburetor equipped vehicles,
a poor running condition. The following procedure should minimize these concerns.
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the engine and remove any loose debris from inside the
tray. Replace the air cleaner assembly (9600) on all 1983 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L and, 7.5L equipped light
trucks except the 1983 Econoline with the 4.9L engine.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listings for these part numbers.
2. Wipe the sealing surfaces clean on the tray and cover and inspect for any dents or damage that
would prevent a good seal. Replace any damaged components.
3. Inspect the air cleaner to carburetor gasket for proper installation. If the gasket appears crimped
or damaged, replace it with a new sticky-back gasket. Prior to replacing the gasket, clean the
carburetor flange. Install the new gasket sticky side down and press all the gasket down to assure
a tight bond.
Gasket parts numbers: 4.9L - C8DZ-9654-A, 5.0L/5.8L/7.5L - D8ZZ-9654-A.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
To prevent vehicle damage, always observe the following precautions: After servicing a hose, check for leaks before and after test driving the vehicle.
- Always use the correct size hose. Do not use standard sized hose in place of metric hose or vice
versa.
Always use the correct type of hose. Never use vacuum hose in place of fuel hose. Never use
heater hose in place of PCV hose.
- When replacing hoses which are attached to the engine on one end and the frame or body on the
other end, always leave sufficient length to compensate for engine movement (from torque).

The following is the recommended procedure for draining axle lubricant from front and/or rear
driving axles on all light truck models.
1. Drive the vehicle for 10-15 miles at highway speed to warm axle lubricant to operating
temperature and minimum viscosity.
2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist and place a drain pan under the axle to be drained.
3. Wire brush the filler plug area of the axle housing cover or carrier assembly to prevent possible
entry of dirt, rust, etc. into the axle assembly.
4. Remove the axle lubricant fill plug.
5. Using a suitable suction-type utility pump (manual or powered), drain the axle lubricant from the
axle by inserting the pump suction hose through axle filler plug hole down into the lowest portion of
the axle carrier housing removing all the lubricant.
6. Fill the axle housing with the specified amount and type of lubricant as shown on the following
specification charts.
7. Install the filler plug and torque as shown on the following specification charts.

OIL DIPSTICK - ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECKING PROCEDURE - GASOLINE ENGINES
LIGHT TRUCK 1986 AND PRIOR
MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK 1986 AND PRIOR
Figure 17 - Dipstick
To correctly check the engine oil level, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Allow a few
minutes after shutting the engine off for oil to drain down before checking. For consistent oil level
readings, insert the dipstick with the loop of the handle as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 18 - Dipstick - Calibration
Figure 19 - Dipstick - Calibration
Dipsticks in Ford vehicles do not incorporate a Full mark. Instead, the dipstick will have marks
indicating a Safe range and an Add range as shown in Figure 18 or 19. When the correct amount
of oil is in the engine, the oil level indication will be in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark,
but not necessarily at the top of the Safe range or at the Maximum mark.
When the indicated oil level is in the Add range put one quart of oil in the engine. Recheck the oil
level to determine if the oil level is now in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark.
Add and recheck oil level one quart at a time until the oil level indicator moves into the Safe range
or above the Minimum mark. Do not add additional oil to bring the level to the top of the Safe range
or to the Maximum mark since this may result in overfill and increased oil consumption. If the
accuracy of the engine oil dipstick is in doubt, it may be verified in the following manner:
^ Drain the oil and install a new filter.
^ Put in the specified amount of oil for an oil and filter change. (See owner guide)
^ Start the engine and operate a few minutes.
^ Shut off the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to drain down.
^ Check the oil level with the dipstick.
^ If the oil level does not indicate in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark, rework or replace
the dipstick.

This information has been taken from EPA documents to address Ford specific applications and
recommendations. Further EPA information on ozone-depleting substances and regulations
regarding its handling can be found on the Internet at World Wide Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ozone/
In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their
ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does
not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.
Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following
conditions:
1. Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the
accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
2. Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that
refrigerant.
3. Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the
technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label
covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and
how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit,
address and the date retrofitted.
4. Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to
charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is
available for use in vehicles that still need it.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Bleed primary and secondary hydraulic brake systems separately, bleeding longest line first on
each system. Do not allow reservoir to run dry during bleeding operation. Never reuse fluid that has
been drained from hydraulic system.
1. Loosen master cylinder to hydraulic line nuts and wrap shop cloths around tubing below fitting to
absorb escaping brake fluid.
2. Depress brake pedal slowly by hand to floor of cab, forcing air trapped in master cylinder out at
fitting.
3. Hold pedal down and tighten fittings, then release brake pedal. Releasing brake pedal before
fittings are tightened will allow air to enter the master cylinder.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until air ceases to escape at fittings and brake pedal is firm.
5. Bleed rear brakes as follows:
a. Pump pedal several times, then hold pedal down firmly. b. With pedal firmly depressed, open
bleeder screw on one rear brake until pedal fades to floor, then close bleeder valve. c. Repeat
procedure until a continuous flow of brake fluid is released from bleeder valve. d. Repeat steps 5a
through 5c on other rear brake.
6. Bleed front brakes using same procedure as for rear brakes.
7. Fill master cylinder reservoirs to {1/4} inch from top of reservoirs.
8. Centralize the pressure differential control valve, if applicable, as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch to ``ACC'' or ``On'' position. b. Push brake pedal down, allowing piston to
center itself, turning off warning light. c. Turn ignition switch to ``OFF'' position.
9. Check brake operation and ensure pedal is firm, then road test vehicle.

STEERING PULL/DRIFT/ROADABILITY - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-84 F100-350, BRONCO, ECONOLINE
Section 19 of the 1983 and 1984 Light Truck Shop Manuals provides procedures to resolve most
roadability concerns experienced to date. These procedures can be applied to any 1980 and later
model light trucks.
When servicing 4 wheel drive vehicles with limited slip front axles, front tire circumference is the
most probable cause if the pull is only present when the hubs are locked. Installing the two most
evenly matched tires on the front axle should resolve the concern.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

NOISE - CLATTERING/BANGING OF TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE DURING BRAKING
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-150/350, BRONCO
Gear "banging" type noise during braking can be caused by rear wheel brake shudder "shaking"
the transmission/transfer case even if it is not felt by the driver. The brake shudder may be caused
by the rear wheels warping the brake drum. For F150 and Bronco with styled wheels, refer to
TSB-82-10-15. For F250/350 with standard wheels, refer to TSB 83-7-19. Transmission or transfer
case service actions should not be performed until confirming that brake shudder is not the causal
factor.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

Diagnosis
Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

Valve Guide: Service and Repair
Valve guides in these engines are an integral part of the head and, therefore, cannot be removed.
For service, guides can be reamed oversize to accommodate one of three service valves with
oversize stems (.003 inch, .015 inch and .030 inch). Check the valve stem clearance of each valve
(after cleaning) in its respective valve guide. If the clearance exceeds the service limits of .004 inch
of the intake or .005 inch on the exhaust, ream the valve guides to accommodate the next oversize
diameter valve.

LIGHT TRUCK 1986 AND PRIOR
MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCK 1986 AND PRIOR
Figure 17 - Dipstick
To correctly check the engine oil level, the vehicle must be parked on a level surface. Allow a few
minutes after shutting the engine off for oil to drain down before checking. For consistent oil level
readings, insert the dipstick with the loop of the handle as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 18 - Dipstick - Calibration
Figure 19 - Dipstick - Calibration
Dipsticks in Ford vehicles do not incorporate a Full mark. Instead, the dipstick will have marks
indicating a Safe range and an Add range as shown in Figure 18 or 19. When the correct amount
of oil is in the engine, the oil level indication will be in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark,
but not necessarily at the top of the Safe range or at the Maximum mark.
When the indicated oil level is in the Add range put one quart of oil in the engine. Recheck the oil
level to determine if the oil level is now in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark.
Add and recheck oil level one quart at a time until the oil level indicator moves into the Safe range
or above the Minimum mark. Do not add additional oil to bring the level to the top of the Safe range
or to the Maximum mark since this may result in overfill and increased oil consumption. If the
accuracy of the engine oil dipstick is in doubt, it may be verified in the following manner:
^ Drain the oil and install a new filter.
^ Put in the specified amount of oil for an oil and filter change. (See owner guide)
^ Start the engine and operate a few minutes.
^ Shut off the engine and allow a few minutes for the oil to drain down.
^ Check the oil level with the dipstick.
^ If the oil level does not indicate in the Safe range or above the Minimum mark, rework or replace
the dipstick.

Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

To prevent repeat servicing on engines suspected of oil leakage at the crankshaft seal, determine if
the leak is actually from the seal or from another source such as the rear pan seal or galley plugs.
The one-piece rear crankshaft seal is released for all passenger car and light truck engines and
has proven to be more reliable than the rope or split lip design formerly used.
Performing the oil leak air pressure check outlined in all Car and Truck Powertrain Shop Manuals,
Section 21- 01 will accurately identify the location of the leak and can verify correction after
servicing before the transmission is reinstalled.

inch) above the parting surface to mate with the upper half of the crankshaft rear oil seal when the
rear crankshaft main bearing cap is installed.
6. Apply a continuous even 1.59 mm (1/16 inch) diameter bead of RTV Silicone Rubber Sealer or
equivalent to the areas shown in the image,
following the procedures given in the illustration.
NOTE: When applying rubber silicone always use the bead size specified and join the components
within 15 minutes of application. After this amount of time the sealant begins to "set-up" and its
sealing effectiveness may be reduced.
7. Install the rear crankshaft main bearing cap. Tighten the bolts to specifications. 8. Install the oil
pump and oil pan. Fill the crankcase with the proper amount and type of oil. 9. Operate the engine
and check for oil leaks.

AIR CLEANER SEALING - 4.9L (1982-83 F-SERIES AND BRONCO ONLY) AND ALL UNITS
WITH 5.0L, 5.8L OR 7.5L ENGINES. UNITS OPERATED IN DUSTY AND/OR OFF-ROAD
CONDITIONS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES SEALING OF 7200VV CARBURETOR ON UNITS SO EQUIPPED
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 E, F AND BRONCO
This is a re-write of TSB 83-25-21 (December 12, 1983). The air cleaner part numbers listed in the
TSB are of insufficient detail and are therefore being deleted from the TSB.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listing for these part numbers.
The subject vehicles operated in dusty/off-road conditions may experience an air cleaner sealing
concern which could lead to engine oil consumption or, on 7200 VV carburetor equipped vehicles,
a poor running condition. The following procedure should minimize these concerns.
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the engine and remove any loose debris from inside the
tray. Replace the air cleaner assembly (9600) on all 1983 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L and, 7.5L equipped light
trucks except the 1983 Econoline with the 4.9L engine.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listings for these part numbers.
2. Wipe the sealing surfaces clean on the tray and cover and inspect for any dents or damage that
would prevent a good seal. Replace any damaged components.
3. Inspect the air cleaner to carburetor gasket for proper installation. If the gasket appears crimped
or damaged, replace it with a new sticky-back gasket. Prior to replacing the gasket, clean the
carburetor flange. Install the new gasket sticky side down and press all the gasket down to assure
a tight bond.
Gasket parts numbers: 4.9L - C8DZ-9654-A, 5.0L/5.8L/7.5L - D8ZZ-9654-A.
FIGURE 24
4. For F-Series and Bronco only, relocate the zip tube inlet. a) Detach the zip tube inlet from the
radiator support. b) Move the inlet to the top rear of the wheel wellhousing per Figure 24. c) Secure
the zip tube to the top of the housing with a nylon tie-down
strap. NOTE: At high temperatures, an octane ping may occur. If it persists, the zip tube must be
reinstalled to the radiator support. 5.
Replace the PCV filter. For 4.9L, 5.0L-2V, 5.8L-2V and 7.5L-4V engines replace the PCV filter in
the air cleaner with an in-line filter.
a. Remove and discard the crankcase breather cap to PCV filter hose (closure hose), PCV filter in
the air cleaner, the adapter at the air cleaner and the adapter retaining clip.

Cleaner Housing > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Air Cleaner - Sealing Procedure > Page 988
b. Drill a 5/16" hole in the side wall of the air cleaner approximately 12" to the rear of the existing
crankcase closure hole for 5.0L and 5.8L and approximately 6" to the rear on 7.5L. (The 4.9L does
not need a new hole).
c. Install a 1/2" hose (E2AZ-6853-A) to the existing adaptor in the valve cover oil fill cap (2 pcs.
2-5/8" long for 4.9L, 18" long for 5.0L/5.8L, 12" long for 7.5L).
d. At a convenient location, cut the hose and install an in-line filter E2AZ-6A768-A for 5.0L, 5.8L
and 7.5L. On the 4.9L, install the filter between the 2-5/8" long pieces installed in (c.).
NOTE: Install the filter with the wire mesh toward the oil fill cap. The mesh can be seen by looking
into the end of the filter assembly.
e. Install an adapter E43Z-9E606-A in the air cleaner and attach using a retaining clip 383741-S.
Center the adapter elbow in the new hole for 5.0L, 5.8L and 7.5L. Use the existing PCV filter
(closure) pack hole for 4.9L.
f. Cut the PCV filter (closure) hose to proper length and attach to the adapter.
g. Plug the old hole in the tray with plug 377678-S for 5.0L, 5.8L and 7.5L only.
FIGURE 25
6. For 5.0L and 5.8L engines with a 7200 VV carburetor, clean and seal the carburetor to prevent
dirt migration through the choke rod and accelerator pump rod holes (Refer to Figure 25).
a. Remove the carburetor from the vehicle.
b. Without disassembling the carburetor, thoroughly clean with Ford Automatic Choke Cleaner or
equivalent, all of the choke linkage and accelerator pump linkage on the top and sides of the
carburetor. Pay particular attention to the top and bottom of the upper body casting around the
choke and accelerator pump rods. Allow cleaner to evaporate or blow dry with shop air.
c. Remove stepper motor, gasket, pintle and spring. Clean pintle and pintle cavity in main body
casting thoroughly with Ford Automatic Choke Cleaner or equivalent. Do not re-install stepper
motor at this time.

d. Hold throttle lever in the wide-open throttle position to raise the accelerator pump rod. With a
toothpick, or other sharp tool, apply any commercially available silicone RTV (such as Dow Corning
"Silastic") to the top side of the upper body casting around the accelerator pump rod (Figure 24).
Fill the hole completely around the rods from the top side only and release the throttle lever.
e. With a rubber band, tie the throttle lever in closed-throttle position. Push fast idle cam to "off"
position so that choke rod is fully raised. Fast idle cam should remain in "off" position.
f. With a toothpick, apply silicone RTV to bottom side of upper body casting around the choke shaft
rod. Fill the hole completely around the rod from the bottom side only.
g. Install the spring, pintle, gasket, and stepper motor.
h. Allow carburetor to stand at room temperature for 24 hours without disturbing silicone RTV.
i. After 24-hour cure, remove rubber band from throttle lever, and open throttle to break (free)
accelerator pump rod from silicone RTV. Bulk of RTV sealant should remain attached to upper
body.
j. Manually exercise choke linkage to break (free) choke rod from silicone RTV. Bulk of RTV
sealant should remain attached to upper body.
k. Re-install carburetor on vehicle.
7. Re-install and secure the air cleaner assembly as follows:
a. Set the air cleaner tray assembly on the carburetor and check that nothing is preventing the tray
seating securely and completely sealing the flange.
b. Connect and secure the vacuum hoses.
c. Install and seat a new heavy duty air cleaner element in the tray. Use E2TZ-9601-B (FA-732) for
4.9L and E0TZ-9601-A (FA-688) for 5.0L/5.8L. Use non-heavy duty element for 7.5L.
NOTE: Use of incorrect element will allow dirt to be ingested and will damage the engine.
d. Install the air cleaner cover and place the washer grommet rubber side down. Torque the wing
nut hand tight (20 in.lbs.). Try to rotate the air cleaner assembly slightly. If it resists rotation, sealing
to the carburetor is assured.
e. Connect the crankcase filter hose securely.
f. Install the heat riser tube. Connect the fresh air zip tube.

Advance Mechanism
Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Advance Mechanism > Page 1027
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

Vacuum Spark Delay Valve: Description and Operation
Fig.25 - Spark Delay Valve
This unit is used in conjunction with some of the other Ford systems. Its purpose is to further
reduce emissions by delaying the spark advance during rapid acceleration and by cutting off
advance immediately upon deceleration. Fig. 25.
This plastic disc-shaped valve is installed in the carburetor vacuum line at the distributor advance
diaphragm. It is a one way valve and will not operate if installed backwards. The black side of the
valve must be toward the carburetor. This valve cannot be repaired.
NOTE: On all systems which employ the dual diaphragm distributor the line which has high vacuum
at idle (normal operating temperature) is
connected to the secondary (retard) side of the distributor vacuum advance unit. This is the
connection closest to the distributor cap.

- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 14-20 Nm (10-15 ft-lbs).
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Fluid Leak
Small fluid leaks do not generally affect the operation of the unit. These leaks generally occur
around the area of the bearing assembly, but if the leaks appear to be excessive, engine
overheating may occur. Check for clutch and fan free-wheeling by attempting to rotate fan and
clutch assembly by hand five times. If no drag is felt, replace clutch.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Noise
Fan clutch noise can sometimes be noticed when clutch is engaged for maximum cooling. Clutch
noise is also noticeable within the first few minutes after starting engine while clutch is redistributing
the silicone fluid back to its normal, disengaged operating condition after settling for long periods of
time (over night). However, continuous fan noise or an excessive roar indicates the clutch
assembly is locked-up due to internal failure. This condition can be checked by attempting to
manually rotate fan. If fan cannot be rotated manually or there is a rough, abrasive feel as fan is
rotated, the clutch should be replaced.

Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Fan Clutch Fluid Leak > Page 1093
Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection Fan Clutch Operational Test
Do not operate the engine until the fan has been first checked for possible cracks and separations.
Run engine at a fast idle speed (1000 RPM) until normal operating temperature is reached. This
process can be done more quickly by blocking off the front of the radiator with cardboard.
Regardless of temperatures, unit must be operated for at least five minutes immediately before
being tested. Stop engine and using a glove or a cloth to protect the hand, immediately check the
effort required to turn the fan. If considerable effort is required, it can be assumed that coupling is
operating satisfactorily. If very little effort is required to turn the fan, it is an indication that the
coupling is not operating properly and should be replaced.
Bi-Metallic Coiled Spring Removal
The clutch fan may be tested while vehicle is being driven. To check, disconnect the bimetal spring,
Fig. 2, and rotate 90° counterclockwise. This disables the temperature-controlled, free-wheeling
feature and the clutch performs like a conventional fan. If this cures the overheating condition,
replace the clutch fan.

Good heater cores are being returned through the parts return system coded as leaking.
Complaints of leaking may be caused by an inadequate seal between the heater hose and the
heater core tubes allowing coolant to follow the tube to the heater core, leak into the passenger
compartment and appear as a leaking heater core.
When diagnosing a suspect heater core leak, inspect the hose to heater core tube attachment to
assure the connection is not leaking. If a leaking connection is found, correct the leak. If the
connection appears not to be leaking, leak test the heater core before removing it from the vehicle
using the following procedure:
HEATER CORE LEAK TEST
Pressure Test 1.
Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core tubes.
3. Install a short piece of heater hose (approximately 4 inches long) on each heater core tube.
Figure 1
4. Fill the heater core and hoses with water and install plug BT-7422-B and adapter BT-7422-A
from Rotunda model 021-00012 or equivalent in the hose ends (Figure 1). Secure the hoses, plug
and adapter with hose clamps.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge > Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Dash Gauge Test > Page 1118
Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Lamps and Indicators - Cooling System >
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator, Engine Cooling > Component Information > Testing and Inspection
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

FIGURE 15 NYLON TANK VACUUM BRAZED ALUMINUM RADIATOR - F SERIES & BRONCO
WITH GASOLINE ENGINE
The crossflow fin and tube design radiator used on F Series and Bronco vehicles with a gasoline
engine is constructed with a vacuum brazed aluminum core and nylon end tanks (Figure 15). The
nylon end tanks are attached to the aluminum core by bending tabs on the core header over the
edge of the nylon tank. An O-ring gasket is placed between the nylon tank and the radiator core
header to achieve a seal between the tank and the header. The nylon tanks are a molded
one-piece design with the mounting brackets part of each tank.
Figure 16 - Header Tabs
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Radiator Tank - Removal
The radiator tanks are molded, glass-filled nylon and are attached to the core header by bending
the header tabs (Figure 16) over the edge of the tank. When removing a nylon tank, a screwdriver
or one of the various special tools available can be used to open the header tabs. Some of these
tools, including a screwdriver, may cause a small section of the header side to bend with the tabs
as they are opened. This slight deformation is permissible, provided the tabs are opened only
enough for tank removal. The header sides will usually return to the normal position when the tabs
are crimped during tank installation. Procedures are given for tank removal using a screwdriver or a
Burroughs Tool BT-8260. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for other radiator tab opening and
closing tools.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Dual Catalytic Converter
Fig. 17 Dual catalytic converter
This converter consists of two catalytic converters in one shell, with a mixing chamber in between
the two, Fig. 17. Each converter is composed of a ceramic ``honey comb'' coated with a
rhodium/platinum catalyst designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), and is therefore called a ``three way catalyst'' (TWC). The rear
converter is coated with platinum catalyst and is called a ``conventional'' oxidation catalyst'' (COC)
converter. The platinum catalyst is also called a ``two way catalyst'' since it only acts on two of the
major pollutants, HC and CO.
The TWC converter acts on the exhaust gases from the engine. As the gases flow from the TWC to
the COC converter, they mix with air from the thermactor pump injected into the mixing chamber or
``mid-bed''. This air is required for proper oxidation of HC and CO in the COC converter.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation General Description
Fig.8 - Catalytic Converter With Single Substrate Catalyst
Fig.9 - Catalytic Converter With Dual Substrate Catalyst
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to effectively
reduce the levels of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and in some cases oxides of
nitrogen (NOx), entering the atmosphere. The converter permits a faster chemical reaction to take
place and although it enters into the chemical reaction, it remains unchanged, ready to repeat the
process.
The catalyst in these converters is structured in the form of a honeycomb monolithic composition,
Figs. 8 and 9. The catalyst consists of a porous substrate of an inert material, coated with platinum
and other noble metals (the catalytically active materials).
NOTE: Phase II Catalytic Converters or Dual Catalytic Converters which also control the NOx
emissions, are used on some 1978-82 vehicles.
During engine operation, all of the exhaust gases flow through the converter where a chemical
change takes place. This change causes the temperature inside the converter to be higher than the
temperature of the exhaust gases when they leave the engine. Due to this increase in heat, the
converter is insulated so that its outside temperature is about the same temperature as the muffler.
However, due to its solid mass, the converter remains hot much longer than the muffler.
The body of the catalytic converter is made of stainless steel designed to last the life of the vehicle.
Excessive heat can bulge or distort the converter. Since excessive heat built up is not the fault of
the converter, the carburetion or ignition system should be checked whenever a converter is
damaged by overheating.
Although all vehicles with catalytic converter must use unleaded fuel, small amounts of leaded fuel
can be used in case of an emergency. To prevent adding leaded fuel, the fuel tank filler nozzle has
a built-in restrictor.
Heat shields are used on some vehicles to protect chassis components, passenger compartment,
and other areas from heat damage that may be caused by the catalytic converter.

LIGHT TRUCKS 1982 AND LATER LIGHT TRUCKS
Mufflers are being replaced on leaded fuel vehicles in an effort to resolve concerns of "lack of
power" or poor performance", apparently in the belief that a plugged muffler is the cause. Although
plugging with lead deposits was possible on certain models prior to the 1982 Model Year, muffler
modifications incorporated on 1982 and later models make this an unlikely cause of the concern.
Thus, replacing mufflers on the newer model vehicles normally will not satisfy the customer. Prior
to replacing any muffler believed to be restricted, a vacuum check as described in Section 26-01 of
the Light Truck Shop Manual should be performed.

Fig. 7 Processor & calibration assembly
The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA), Fig. 7, is the brain of the system. It is a solid state
pre-programmed micro-computer which consists of a processor assembly and a calibration
assembly, Fig. 7. The processor assembly contains the electronic circuitry which performs the
following functions within a fraction of a second:
a. Choose one of the sensor inputs for evaluation.
b. Converts the input to a form usable by the computer to use that signal for calculations.
c. Choose the proper operating strategy necessary for the operating conditions.
d. Perform spark, EGR, air/fuel ratio, canister purge, throttle kicker and other calculations.
e. Send electrical output control signals to the ignition module and control solenoids to adjust timing
and dwell, EGR flow rate, thermactor air mode and throttle kicker mode.
The processor assembly also contains a separate power supply which provides a continuous
reference voltage of about 9 volts nominal to the sensors. The calibration assembly, Fig. 7,
contains electronic circuitry which provides calibration equations necessary for specific vehicle
application for use by the processor assembly, and provides adjustments for octane problems. The
calibration assembly is mounted on the processor assembly. The power relay supplies battery
voltage to the EEC system and is mounted on the right hand side of the ECA mounting bracket. It
also protects the ECA from possible damage due to reversed polarity.

Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

Knock Sensor: Testing and Inspection Component Testing
Fig.8 - MCU System Wiring Circuit
1. Make sure that the following three steps are properly conducted in order to simulate spark knock
conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 5 Barometric & manifold absolute pressure sensor
DESCRIPTION
These two sensors, Fig. 5, are combined into one unit. The BMAP sensor monitors the absolute
value of the intake manifold pressure and atmospheric pressure (manifold absolute pressure is
defined as barometric pressure minus manifold vacuum).
Atmospheric pressure changes are converted into an electrical signal and fed to the computer for
evaluation. From this input, the computer determines the EGR flow requirements depending on the
altitude at which the vehicle is being operated.
Intake manifold pressure changes are converted by a pressure-sensing element and electrical
circuit by the computer. The signal is used by the computer to determine part throttle spark
advance, EGR flow rate and air/fuel ratio.

Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 4 Exhaust gas oxygen sensor
This sensor, Fig. 4, is installed in the exhaust manifold and provides information to the ECA as to
the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. It monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases and
generates an output of .6 to 1.0 volt when detecting a rich exhaust gas mixture (absence of
oxygen) and less than .2 volts when detecting a lean mixture (presence of oxygen). This constantly
changing voltage signal is sent to the ECA for analysis. The outer surface of the sensor is a
threaded steel housing and shell. The sensor body is protected by a shield pressed into the
housing where it projects into the exhaust manifold. Exhaust gases contact the sensor body by
entering through flutes in the sensor shield. A vent is provided in the shell to allow atmospheric air
to enter the inner portion of the sensor body. The sensor connects to the vehicle wiring harness
with a connector that is attached to the inner (positive) terminal. The shell is the negative terminal
of the sensor and provides the return signal path through the engine block.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

EGR Valve Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 6 EGR valve position sensor
This sensor, Fig. 6, is used to monitor the EGR valve pintle position. The computer applies a
reference voltage to the EVP sensor, and the resulting signal from the EVP sensor is proportional
to the amount of exhaust gases flowing through the EGR valve pintle into the intake manifold.
Depending on the input from this and other sensors, the computer can increase or decrease EGR
flow by activating or deactivating a pair of solenoid vacuum valves.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig.6 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
Fig.7 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

Knock Sensor: Testing and Inspection Component Testing
Fig.8 - MCU System Wiring Circuit
1. Make sure that the following three steps are properly conducted in order to simulate spark knock
conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

AIR CLEANER SEALING - 4.9L (1982-83 F-SERIES AND BRONCO ONLY) AND ALL UNITS
WITH 5.0L, 5.8L OR 7.5L ENGINES. UNITS OPERATED IN DUSTY AND/OR OFF-ROAD
CONDITIONS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES SEALING OF 7200VV CARBURETOR ON UNITS SO EQUIPPED
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 E, F AND BRONCO
This is a re-write of TSB 83-25-21 (December 12, 1983). The air cleaner part numbers listed in the
TSB are of insufficient detail and are therefore being deleted from the TSB.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listing for these part numbers.
The subject vehicles operated in dusty/off-road conditions may experience an air cleaner sealing
concern which could lead to engine oil consumption or, on 7200 VV carburetor equipped vehicles,
a poor running condition. The following procedure should minimize these concerns.
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the engine and remove any loose debris from inside the
tray. Replace the air cleaner assembly (9600) on all 1983 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L and, 7.5L equipped light
trucks except the 1983 Econoline with the 4.9L engine.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listings for these part numbers.
2. Wipe the sealing surfaces clean on the tray and cover and inspect for any dents or damage that
would prevent a good seal. Replace any damaged components.
3. Inspect the air cleaner to carburetor gasket for proper installation. If the gasket appears crimped
or damaged, replace it with a new sticky-back gasket. Prior to replacing the gasket, clean the
carburetor flange. Install the new gasket sticky side down and press all the gasket down to assure
a tight bond.
Gasket parts numbers: 4.9L - C8DZ-9654-A, 5.0L/5.8L/7.5L - D8ZZ-9654-A.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Page 1371
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

on subject.
FIGURE 12
FIGURE 13
For 1981 through 1983 model year vehicles, EEC distributors used on the EEC Systems had the
"second generation" rotor (Figure 12). The 1983 model 5.0L EEC equipped Light Truck employs a
conventional rotor (Figure 13). PROCEDURE FOR ROTOR ALIGNMENT:
1. Remove the distributor cap and wires and position them to one side.
2. Remove the rotor.
3. To check rotor alignment:
a. Rotate the engine until the No. 1 piston is on the compression stroke. NOTE: Verification of
being on the compression stroke is essential to correct rotor alignment. If the piston is on the
exhaust stroke, the rotor can be misaligned by 180~.
b. Slowly rotate the engine until the alignment tool can be installed.

Vacuum Spark Delay Valve: Description and Operation
Fig.25 - Spark Delay Valve
This unit is used in conjunction with some of the other Ford systems. Its purpose is to further
reduce emissions by delaying the spark advance during rapid acceleration and by cutting off
advance immediately upon deceleration. Fig. 25.
This plastic disc-shaped valve is installed in the carburetor vacuum line at the distributor advance
diaphragm. It is a one way valve and will not operate if installed backwards. The black side of the
valve must be toward the carburetor. This valve cannot be repaired.
NOTE: On all systems which employ the dual diaphragm distributor the line which has high vacuum
at idle (normal operating temperature) is
connected to the secondary (retard) side of the distributor vacuum advance unit. This is the
connection closest to the distributor cap.

REMOVAL
- Remove the wire from each spark plug by grasping the molded boot with tool T74P-6666-A or
equivalent. Twist the boot until it loosens and then pull it off the spark plug. Do not pull on the wire,
as the connection may become damaged.
- Any wire damaged must be replaced. Each original spark plug wire is numbered for the cylinder to
which it is designated. If wires are not numbered, each wire should be numbered as to the plug
from which it was removed.
- Clean the area around each spark plug port with compressed air.
- Using the proper size spark plug socket remove the spark plugs.
INSTALLATION
Check the gap on each new spark plug and set to specification. See: Specifications
Cylinder Numbering And Distributor Location
- Install each spark plug and tighten to 14-20 Nm (10-15 ft-lbs).
- Coat the inside of each spark plug boot with silicone dielectric compound. Connect each spark
plug wire to the plug from which it was removed. Be sure each wire is fully depressed on each plug
and molded boot is firmly in place.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
COMPRESSION TEST
1. Ensure oil in crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at proper level and battery is properly
charged. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal
operating temperature. Turn OFF ignition switch, then remove all spark plugs.
2. Set throttle plates (and choke plates, if equipped) in wide-open position. 3. Install a compression
gauge such as Rotunda Compression Tester 059-00009 or equivalent in No. 1 cylinder. 4. Install
an auxiliary starter switch in starting circuit. With ignition switch in the OFF position, and using
auxiliary starter switch, crank engine at
least five compression strokes and record highest reading. Note the approximate number of
compression strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
5. Repeat test on each cylinder cranking the engine approximately the same number of
compression strokes.
TEST CONCLUSION
1. The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading
cylinder is within 75 percent of the highest. 2. If one or more cylinders read low, squirt
approximately one tablespoon of heavy SAE 50 weight or equivalent engine oil on top of the
pistons in
the low reading cylinders. Repeat compression pressure check on these cylinders. a. If
compression improves considerably, piston rings are at fault. b. If compression does not improve,
valves are sticking or seating poorly. c. If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression
pressures and squirting oil on pistons does not increase compression, cause may be a
cylinder head gasket leak between cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in cylinders could result
from this problem.

defined as barometric pressure minus manifold vacuum). Atmospheric pressure changes are
converted into an electrical signal and fed to the computer for evaluation. From this input, the
computer determines the EGR flow requirements depending on the altitude at which the vehicle is
being operated. Intake manifold pressure changes are converted by a pressure-sensing element
and electrical circuit by the computer. The signal is used by the computer to determine part throttle

DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

EGR Backpressure Transducer: Description and Operation
Fig.49 - Integral EGR Valve Exhaust Back-pressure Transducer
This valve, Fig. 49, performs the same function as the non-integral back pressure transducer used
on some systems. The valve assembly has an internal exhaust gas chamber with a transducer
diaphragm which senses exhaust back pressure through a hollow stem. When back pressure is
low, vacuum is bled through the transducer valve and the EGR valve stem remains closed. When
back pressure increases, the transducer diaphragm moves up and closes the transducer valve
vacuum bleed hole.
With the vacuum bleed closed, the EGR valve opens, allowing exhaust gas to flow into the intake
manifold. Because the EGR outlet is always exposed to manifold vacuum and EGR gas inlet flow is
restricted by an orifice, back pressure at the transducer drops when the EGR valve opens. When
the back pressure drops, the vacuum bleed hole opens, closing the EGR valve and allowing
pressure to build up again. The cycle is continually repeated, modulating the flow of exhaust gas
into the intake manifold.

Fig. 6 EGR valve position sensor
This sensor, Fig. 6, is used to monitor the EGR valve pintle position. The computer applies a
reference voltage to the EVP sensor, and the resulting signal from the EVP sensor is proportional
to the amount of exhaust gases flowing through the EGR valve pintle into the intake manifold.
Depending on the input from this and other sensors, the computer can increase or decrease EGR
flow by activating or deactivating a pair of solenoid vacuum valves.

Fig. 7 Processor & calibration assembly
The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA), Fig. 7, is the brain of the system. It is a solid state
pre-programmed micro-computer which consists of a processor assembly and a calibration
assembly, Fig. 7. The processor assembly contains the electronic circuitry which performs the
following functions within a fraction of a second:
a. Choose one of the sensor inputs for evaluation.
b. Converts the input to a form usable by the computer to use that signal for calculations.
c. Choose the proper operating strategy necessary for the operating conditions.
d. Perform spark, EGR, air/fuel ratio, canister purge, throttle kicker and other calculations.
e. Send electrical output control signals to the ignition module and control solenoids to adjust timing
and dwell, EGR flow rate, thermactor air mode and throttle kicker mode.
The processor assembly also contains a separate power supply which provides a continuous
reference voltage of about 9 volts nominal to the sensors. The calibration assembly, Fig. 7,
contains electronic circuitry which provides calibration equations necessary for specific vehicle
application for use by the processor assembly, and provides adjustments for octane problems. The
calibration assembly is mounted on the processor assembly. The power relay supplies battery
voltage to the EEC system and is mounted on the right hand side of the ECA mounting bracket. It
also protects the ECA from possible damage due to reversed polarity.

Feedback Control Solenoid: Description and Operation
Fig.23 - Feedback Carburetor Actuator
This actuator, Fig. 23, is used to control the carburetor air/fuel ratio. The ECA uses inputs from
sensors such as the exhaust gas oxygen, barometric pressure, etc., to calculate the correct signals
to maintain a desired air/fuel ratio.
The FBCA is a stepper motor mounted on the right side of the 7200 carburetor. The FBCA has four
separate armature windings, and each one is sequentially energized by the ECA in order to obtain
the necessary control of the carburetor metering rods. The motor varies the position of the metering
valve in the carburetor to regulate the amount of control vacuum exposed to the fuel bowl. The
vacuum lowers the amount of pressure in the fuel bowl causing a leaner air fuel mixture.
During engine cranking and immediately after the engine starts, the ECA will set the FBCA at a
calibration dependent upon initial position. The FBCA position is dependent upon ECA calculations
of various engine sensor inputs.

Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

Fig.8 - MCU System Wiring Circuit
1. Make sure that the following three steps are properly conducted in order to simulate spark knock
conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

Information > Testing and Inspection > Component Testing > Page 1457
observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 4 Exhaust gas oxygen sensor
This sensor, Fig. 4, is installed in the exhaust manifold and provides information to the ECA as to
the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. It monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases and
generates an output of .6 to 1.0 volt when detecting a rich exhaust gas mixture (absence of
oxygen) and less than .2 volts when detecting a lean mixture (presence of oxygen). This constantly
changing voltage signal is sent to the ECA for analysis. The outer surface of the sensor is a
threaded steel housing and shell. The sensor body is protected by a shield pressed into the
housing where it projects into the exhaust manifold. Exhaust gases contact the sensor body by
entering through flutes in the sensor shield. A vent is provided in the shell to allow atmospheric air
to enter the inner portion of the sensor body. The sensor connects to the vehicle wiring harness
with a connector that is attached to the inner (positive) terminal. The shell is the negative terminal
of the sensor and provides the return signal path through the engine block.

conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 5 Barometric & manifold absolute pressure sensor
DESCRIPTION
These two sensors, Fig. 5, are combined into one unit. The BMAP sensor monitors the absolute
value of the intake manifold pressure and atmospheric pressure (manifold absolute pressure is
defined as barometric pressure minus manifold vacuum).
Atmospheric pressure changes are converted into an electrical signal and fed to the computer for
evaluation. From this input, the computer determines the EGR flow requirements depending on the
altitude at which the vehicle is being operated.
Intake manifold pressure changes are converted by a pressure-sensing element and electrical
circuit by the computer. The signal is used by the computer to determine part throttle spark
advance, EGR flow rate and air/fuel ratio.

Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO) Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 4 Exhaust gas oxygen sensor
This sensor, Fig. 4, is installed in the exhaust manifold and provides information to the ECA as to
the oxygen content of the exhaust gases. It monitors the oxygen content of the exhaust gases and
generates an output of .6 to 1.0 volt when detecting a rich exhaust gas mixture (absence of
oxygen) and less than .2 volts when detecting a lean mixture (presence of oxygen). This constantly
changing voltage signal is sent to the ECA for analysis. The outer surface of the sensor is a
threaded steel housing and shell. The sensor body is protected by a shield pressed into the
housing where it projects into the exhaust manifold. Exhaust gases contact the sensor body by
entering through flutes in the sensor shield. A vent is provided in the shell to allow atmospheric air
to enter the inner portion of the sensor body. The sensor connects to the vehicle wiring harness
with a connector that is attached to the inner (positive) terminal. The shell is the negative terminal
of the sensor and provides the return signal path through the engine block.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

Fig.73 - Normally Closed Timed Air Bypass Valve
Fig.74 - Timed Air Bypass Valve With Integral Function
DESCRIPTION
Some 1966-67 vehicles use a bypass type anti-backfire valve in place of the "gulp" type system.
The valve operates at all times and all output air from the air pump is routed through it. The air flow
to the manifolds is temporarily interrupted and diverted to the air pump air cleaner during
deceleration.
The air bypass system on 1968-82 vehicles serves the same purpose as earlier types, but three
different types of bypass valves are used, depending on application. These are: a timed bypass
valve, a normally closed bypass valve, or a timed bypass valve with an integral vacuum function.
They are mounted "in-line," or on the air pump. Figs. 71, 72, 73, and 74.
On systems using a timed bypass valve, Figs. 71 and 72, during normal operation, vacuum is
equalized on both sides of the diaphragm. The diaphragm return spring holds the valve closed, and
allows air to flow to the exhaust ports. During deceleration, the sudden rise of intake manifold
vacuum under the diaphragm overcomes return spring pressure and pulls the valve down. The air
flow is then momentarily diverted to atmosphere, because vacuum is quickly equalized again on

The normally closed timed bypass valve, Fig. 73, is used on vehicles with catalytic converter.
During normal operation, engine manifold vacuum applied through the vacuum differential valve
(VDV) holds the valve upward, allowing thermactor air to flow to the exhaust manifolds and
blocking the vent port. When intake manifold vacuum rises or drops sharply, the VDV operates and
momentarily cuts off the vacuum to the bypass valve.
The spring pulls the stem down, seating the valve to cut off pump air to the exhaust manifolds and
dumping the dump valve to momentarily divert the air to atmosphere. If air pump pressure
becomes excessive or there is a restriction in the system, the excess pressure will unseat the valve
in the lower portion of the bypass valve and allow a partial flow of pump air to the atmosphere,
while at the same time, the valve in the upper part of the bypass is still unseated, allowing a partial
flow of pump air to the exhaust manifold to meet system requirements.
The timed air bypass valve with an integral vacuum differential function, Fig. 74, is used on some
thermactor systems. This valve contains an integral vacuum differential function, therefore a
separate vacuum differential valve (VLV) is not required. When the vent is blocked, the valve
functions as a timed bypass valve with a VDV. However, when the vent is open to atmospheric
pressure, and a vacuum of 4 inches Hg or more is applied to the source port, the valve goes to the
dump mode.

Air Injection Bypass Valve: Description and Operation
Normally closed timed air bypass valve.
Normally open timed air bypass valve with vacuum vent.
Normally open timed air bypass valve less vacuum vent.
The air bypass system serves the same purpose as earlier types, but three different types of
bypass valves are used, depending on application. These are: normally closed bypass valve,
normally open bypass valve with vacuum vent and normally open bypass valve without vacuum
vent. They are mounted "inline", or on the air pump, Figs. 85, 86 and 87.
The normally closed timed bypass valve, Fig. 85, is used on vehicles with catalytic converter.
During normal operation, engine manifold vacuum applied through the vacuum differential valve
(VDV) holds the valve upward, allowing thermactor air to flow to the exhaust manifolds and
blocking the vent port. When intake manifold vacuum rises or drops sharply, the VDV operates and
momentarily cuts off the vacuum to the bypass valve. The spring

pulls the stem down, seating the valve to cut off pump air to the exhaust manifolds and dumping
the dump valve to momentarily divert the air to atmosphere. If air pump pressure becomes
excessive or there is a restriction in the system, the excess pressure will unseat the valve in the
lower portion of the bypass valve and allow a partial flow of pump air the atmosphere, while at the
same time, the valve in the upper part of the bypass is still unseated, allowing a partial flow of
pump air to the exhaust manifold to meet system requirements. The normally open timed bypass
valve with vacuum vents, Fig. 86, provides a timed air dump during deceleration and when
differences in vacuum pressure between the signal port and vent port occur. The signal port must
have 3 inches Hg more vacuum than the vent port to prevent the valve from dumping. The valve is
used to protect catalyst overheating. The normally open timed bypass valve without vacuum vents
supplies air to the exhaust system with a higher than normal vacuum signal during cold start, short
idles is applied, pump air is dumped through the silencer ports of the valve, Fig. 87.

1. Disconnect air supply hose at valve outlet, then remove vacuum line and check if vacuum is
present at vacuum nipple.
2. Remove any restrictors or delay valves in vacuum line. Before proceeding to step 3, ensure
vacuum is present at vacuum nipple.
3. Reconnect vacuum line to nipple, then accelerate engine to 1500 RPM.
4. Air pump supply should be present at air bypass valve outlet. Disconnect vacuum line, air at
outlet should stop and air pump supply air should be present at silencer port.
5. If above step proves incorrect, check air pump, then bypass valve.
Normally Open With Vacuum Vents
1. Disconnect air pump supply line at outlet, then vacuum lines from vacuum nipple and vacuum
vent.
2. Accelerate engine to 1500 RPM, air pump supply air should be present at outlet.
3. Using suitable vacuum hose, connect vacuum nipple to intake manifold vacuum. No air should
be present at valve outlet, all air should bypass through silencer ports.
4. Using the same vacuum hose as above step, cap vacuum vent and accelerate engine to 2000
RPM. Air pump supply air should be interrupted when throttle is released.
5. If above steps prove incorrect, check air pump, then bypass valve.
Normally Open Without Vacuum Vent
1. Disconnect air supply line at valve outlet, then vacuum line at vacuum nipple.
2. Accelerate engine to 1500 RPM, air pump supply air should be present at outlet.
3. Using suitable vacuum hose, connect vacuum nipple to intake manifold vacuum. Air at outlet

Three types of valves are used, a normally open valve, Fig. 70, a normally closed valve without
bleed, Fig. 71, and a normally closed valve with bleed, Fig. 72.

Air Injection Control Valve: Description and Operation Thermactor Vacuum Vent Valve
Fig. 76 Thermactor vacuum vent valve
Fig. 77 Thermactor vacuum vent valve schematic (typical)
This valve, Figs. 76 and 77, is used on some engines equipped with variable venturi carburetor. It
provides the air for the thermactor retard delay valve and air bypass valve during idle modes to
deactivate the thermactor system after a controlled period of time. Application of vacuum from the
carburetor to both ports of the thermactor vacuum vent causes the dump valve to seat and vacuum
to be applied to the rest of the system. Removal

of vacuum during idle modes results in unseating of the dump valve, opening of the vent and
allowing air to enter the system to reduce the vacuum previously applied to the retard delay valve.

Air Injection Control Valve: Description and Operation Vacuum Differential Valve (VDV)
Fig. 78 Vacuum Differential Valve (VDV)
On some vehicles with the Thermactor system and catalytic converters, a VDV, Fig. 78, is used to
control the operation of the air bypass valve. Under normal operation, vacuum applied through the
VDV holds the valve upward, blocking the vent port and allowing Thermactor air flow. During
acceleration or deceleration or in case of system failure, the VDV momentarily cuts off vacuum flow
to the bypass valve, diverting the Thermactor air flow to atmosphere.
In case of excessive pressure or system restriction, the excess pressure will unseat the valve in the
lower part of the bypass valve, allowing a partial flow of air to atmosphere. At the same time, the
valve in the upper part of the valve remains unseated allowing a partial flow of air to the exhaust
manifold.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

Fig. 79 Thermactor II system (typical)
Fig. 80 Thermactor II pulse air valve operation
Some engines are equipped with this type of exhaust air injection system, Fig. 79, which does not
have an air pump. The system uses the natural pulses of the exhaust system to draw air into the
exhaust manifold. The system is regulated by a pulse air valve. The valve, Fig. 80, is connected to
the air cleaner with a hose and to the exhaust manifold with a metal tube. Some pulse air valves
closely resemble the standard Thermactor check valves, but are not interchangeable with them.
When pressure inside the exhaust manifold is more than the pressure in the air cleaner, the reed in
the pulse air valve is closed. When pressure in the exhaust manifold is lower than in the air
cleaner, the reed opens and allows air to be drawn into the exhaust manifold.

This switch, Fig. 27, used on some vehicles, has a bimetal disc which locates itself in one of two
positions, depending on its temperature. One position allows free air flow in the vacuum line; and
the other blocks air flow by sealing itself against the O-ring. The switching temperature is below the
range of normal engine operating temperature.
The TVS may be used to control the vacuum signal to the thermactor dump valve, to reduce
emissions.
The normally open TVS may block the purge vacuum signal to provide satisfactory cold driveability
and reduce cold engine emissions. It may be also used to hold off EGR operation during cold
engine operation.
The normally closed TVS may allow cold spark advance to provide satisfactory cold engine
driveability.

DESCRIPTION
This valve, Figs. 86 and 87, is used on some 1978-82 engines equipped with variable venturi
carburetor. It provides the air for the thermactor retard delay valve and air bypass valve during idle
modes to deactivate the thermactor system after a controlled period of time.
Application of vacuum from the carburetor to both ports of the thermactor vacuum vent causes the
dump valve to seat and vacuum to be applied to the rest of the system. Removal of vacuum during
idle modes results in unseating of the dump valve, opening of the vent and allowing air to enter the
system to reduce the vacuum previously applied to the retard delay valve.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Dual Catalytic Converter
Fig. 17 Dual catalytic converter
This converter consists of two catalytic converters in one shell, with a mixing chamber in between
the two, Fig. 17. Each converter is composed of a ceramic ``honey comb'' coated with a
rhodium/platinum catalyst designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons
(HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), and is therefore called a ``three way catalyst'' (TWC). The rear
converter is coated with platinum catalyst and is called a ``conventional'' oxidation catalyst'' (COC)
converter. The platinum catalyst is also called a ``two way catalyst'' since it only acts on two of the
major pollutants, HC and CO.
The TWC converter acts on the exhaust gases from the engine. As the gases flow from the TWC to
the COC converter, they mix with air from the thermactor pump injected into the mixing chamber or
``mid-bed''. This air is required for proper oxidation of HC and CO in the COC converter.

Information > Description and Operation > Dual Catalytic Converter > Page 1722
Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation General Description
Fig.8 - Catalytic Converter With Single Substrate Catalyst
Fig.9 - Catalytic Converter With Dual Substrate Catalyst
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to effectively
reduce the levels of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and in some cases oxides of
nitrogen (NOx), entering the atmosphere. The converter permits a faster chemical reaction to take
place and although it enters into the chemical reaction, it remains unchanged, ready to repeat the
process.
The catalyst in these converters is structured in the form of a honeycomb monolithic composition,
Figs. 8 and 9. The catalyst consists of a porous substrate of an inert material, coated with platinum
and other noble metals (the catalytically active materials).
NOTE: Phase II Catalytic Converters or Dual Catalytic Converters which also control the NOx
emissions, are used on some 1978-82 vehicles.
During engine operation, all of the exhaust gases flow through the converter where a chemical
change takes place. This change causes the temperature inside the converter to be higher than the
temperature of the exhaust gases when they leave the engine. Due to this increase in heat, the
converter is insulated so that its outside temperature is about the same temperature as the muffler.
However, due to its solid mass, the converter remains hot much longer than the muffler.
The body of the catalytic converter is made of stainless steel designed to last the life of the vehicle.
Excessive heat can bulge or distort the converter. Since excessive heat built up is not the fault of
the converter, the carburetion or ignition system should be checked whenever a converter is
damaged by overheating.
Although all vehicles with catalytic converter must use unleaded fuel, small amounts of leaded fuel
can be used in case of an emergency. To prevent adding leaded fuel, the fuel tank filler nozzle has
a built-in restrictor.
Heat shields are used on some vehicles to protect chassis components, passenger compartment,
and other areas from heat damage that may be caused by the catalytic converter.

Used on some V8 engines, this system, Fig. 16, provides quick induction system warm-up for
better cold engine fuel vaporization. A vacuum operated heat control valve mounted between the
exhaust manifold and pipe, directs a portion of the exhaust gases through the intake manifold
during engine warm-up. On cold starts, manifold vacuum is directed to the heat control valve (HCV)
through the top two ports in HCV PVS (ported vacuum switch), closing the HCV. When engine
coolant temperature reaches a predetermined value, the PVS closes off vacuum and vents the
PVS allowing the HCV to close under spring tension. The three PVS valves used may be identified
as follows:

Bowl Vent Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Apply 12 volts to valve. The valve should close, allowing no air to pass.
NOTE: If a lean fuel mixture is suspected of causing a problem, inspect either the solenoid vent
valve or the fuel bowl vent valve for proper closing during engine operation. If the valve opens,
allowing purged vacuum to affect fuel bowl balanced air pressure, the carburetor will give a leaner
air/fuel mixture. On EEC equipped engines with a 7200 VV feedback carburetor (back-suction type
only), the opposite (rich mixture) will result from an open or leaking valve.
CAUTION: The utmost care should be exercised when using a torch in the area of the fuel
evaporation system as an open flame near these hoses may cause a fire and ultimate explosion.
NOTE: Vapor line hoses used in these systems are made from a special rubber material. Bulk
service hoses are available for service and will be marked "EVAP". Ordinary fuel hoses should not
be used. They are subject to deterioration and may clog system.
CAUTION: Installation of a fill cap from a non-emission fuel tank will render the system inoperative,
since the non-emission fill cap is vented and the system must be sealed to function properly. Also if
a non-vented fill cap is installed on a conventional tank, the result will be a serious deformation or a
total collapse of the fuel tank.

Canister Purge Control Valve: Description and Operation
Fig.55 - Purge Control Valve
DESCRIPTION
This valve, Fig. 55, is installed on the carbon canister and controls the flow of fuel vapors during
various engine operating modes. The control is provided by a vacuum signal from either the spark
port, EGR port or intake manifold and opens or closes the valve accordingly.
When the engine is off, the vapors from the fuel tank and carburetor fuel bowl are routed through
the purge control valve and into the carbon canister for storage.
During normal cruise conditions, spark port or EGR vacuum is strong enough to open the orifice in
the purge control valve to allow fuel vapors to flow from the carburetor canister through the purge
line to a connection in the PCV tube or into the carburetor spacer. At the same time, the vapors
from the fuel tank are also directed into the purge line.
At idle and low speed cruise conditions, spark port or EGR port vacuum is not strong enough to
open the orifice in the purge control valve so that the fuel vapors are then routed to the carbon
canister.
NOTE: On some vehicles fuel vapors are not purged during low engine speeds because the
additional fuel vapors will affect the fuel air mixture, resulting in a reduction of idle quality and an
increase in exhaust emissions. On vehicles not affected by this purging, manifold vacuum is used
to actuate the purge control valve and control the purging of fuel vapors since spark port or EGR
port vacuum is too weak.

Loss of road speed, hesitation, or engine stall on the subject vehicles operated at ambient
temperatures over 85~F or at elevations over 4,500 feet, may be the result of fuel vaporization. A
modification kit is available for vehicles experiencing this condition. It consists of an in-tank fuel
pump, inertia shut-off switch, motorized fuel selector valve, vapor separator, and a vapor return
system, along with related fuel lines and electrical wiring and devices.
Before this modification is considered, other factors that could result in the same symptoms should
be evaluated. Some of these include:
^ Plugged fuel filter at carburetor or tank.
^ Restricted fuel line.
^ Contaminated or low quality fuel.
^ Malfunctioning fuel pump or carburetor.
If it is determined that the above factors have not caused the customer concern then the
appropriate modification kit should be used to change the fuel system.
Hardware Required:
Components required to modify the vehicle differ with vehicle series, engine model and type of fuel
tank. These have been packaged into 13 different kits. The chart that follows describes the specific
kits that are required for the various vehicle configurations.

Loss of road speed, hesitation, or engine stall on the subject vehicles operated at ambient
temperatures over 85~F or at elevations over 4,500 feet, may be the result of fuel vaporization. A
modification kit is available for vehicles experiencing this condition. It consists of an in-tank fuel
pump, inertia shut-off switch, motorized fuel selector valve, vapor separator, and a vapor return
system, along with related fuel lines and electrical wiring and devices.
Before this modification is considered, other factors that could result in the same symptoms should
be evaluated. Some of these include:
^ Plugged fuel filter at carburetor or tank.
^ Restricted fuel line.
^ Contaminated or low quality fuel.
^ Malfunctioning fuel pump or carburetor.
If it is determined that the above factors have not caused the customer concern then the
appropriate modification kit should be used to change the fuel system.
Hardware Required:
Components required to modify the vehicle differ with vehicle series, engine model and type of fuel
tank. These have been packaged into 13 different kits. The chart that follows describes the specific

Vacuum Delay Valve: Description and Operation Cold Start Spark Hold (CSSH)
This system, used on some vehicles, provides momentary spark advance hold during acceleration
when the engine is cold, to provide improved cold engine acceleration.
When engine coolant temperature is less than 128~ F, the CSSH PVS is closed and the distributor
vacuum signal travels through the restrictor.
When the engine is started cold, high vacuum acts on the vacuum advance unit to provide
maximum advance. During acceleration, the high vacuum in the vacuum advance unit is slowly
bled down through the restrictor, providing a modified vacuum advance during the initial stage of
acceleration.

Vacuum Delay Valve: Description and Operation Delay Vacuum Bypass (DVB)
Delay vacuum bypass system - DVB
Some vehicles are equipped with a delay vacuum bypass system as a part of the spark delay
system (SDV).
On all vehicles, Fig. 16, the DVB system is activated by a ported vacuum switch (PVS) and allows
full spark port vacuum to the distributor vacuum advance when coolant is below PVS opening
temperature. The system uses a spark delay valve (SDV), a check valve, and a 4 port PVS. When
closed, the two bottom ports of the PVS are used. After opening, the top two ports are used,
allowing vacuum to be routed through the SDV.

Vacuum Delay Valve: Description and Operation Vacuum Delay Valves
Fig. 32 Vacuum delay valve--VDV
This valve, Fig. 32, used on some vehicles, further reduces emissions by delaying the spark
advance during rapid acceleration and by cutting off advance immediately upon deceleration. This
is a one-way valve and will not operate if installed backwards.
On all systems which employ the dual diaphragm distributor, the line which has high vacuum at idle
(normal operating temperature) is connected to the secondary (retard) side of the distributor
vacuum advance unit. This is the connection closest to the distributor cap.

Vacuum Delay Valve: Testing and Inspection Cold Start Spark Advance System (CSSA)
NOTE:
If engine is pinging, perform steps 1 thru 4.
1. Connect tachometer and start engine.
CAUTION: Do not leave transmission in drive for more than 15 second while performing steps 2
and 4.
2. With parking brake applied, brake pedal depressed and transmission in drive, accelerate engine
and observe RPM at which spark knock or pinging occurs.
3. Place transmission in neutral and accelerate engine to 1500 RPM to allow transmission to cool.
Repeat this step three times.
4. Disconnect and plug vacuum advance line from distributor. Repeat step 2 to record RPM.
5. If spark knock or pinging reoccurred, stop engine and proceed to next step. If spark knock or
pinging did not reoccur, the CSSA PVS and/or retard delay valve (if used) is faulty. Repair or
replace as necessary.
6. Remove spark delay valve (SDV), or vacuum check valve, or spark delay valve and check as
described further on.
7. Using a T-fitting, connect a vacuum gauge to distributor advance hose and disconnect and plug
vacuum hose from bottom port of Cold Start PVS.
8. With engine idling at normal operating temperature, there should be no vacuum reading. If
vacuum is obtained, the Cold Start PVS should be replaced.
9. Reconnect hose to bottom port of Cold Start PVS and disconnect and plug hose from top port of
Cold Start PVS.
10. On vehicles with a cooling PVS, check vacuum at distributor with engine at normal idle. If
reading is 2 inches Hg or less, the cooling PVS is operating properly. If vacuum reading is greater
than specified, disconnect and plug the top vacuum line from the carburetor to the cooling PVS. If
reading is still greater than specified, the cooling PVS should be replaced.
11. With engine idling in neutral, momentarily open the throttle half way.
12. Observe vacuum gauge for a quick rise and fall as throttle is opened and closed. If vacuum is
obtained, the spark advance system is operating properly. If no vacuum is obtained, check vacuum
line for leakage or obstruction and correct as necessary.

EGR Backpressure Transducer: Description and Operation
Fig.49 - Integral EGR Valve Exhaust Back-pressure Transducer
This valve, Fig. 49, performs the same function as the non-integral back pressure transducer used
on some systems. The valve assembly has an internal exhaust gas chamber with a transducer
diaphragm which senses exhaust back pressure through a hollow stem. When back pressure is
low, vacuum is bled through the transducer valve and the EGR valve stem remains closed. When
back pressure increases, the transducer diaphragm moves up and closes the transducer valve
vacuum bleed hole.
With the vacuum bleed closed, the EGR valve opens, allowing exhaust gas to flow into the intake
manifold. Because the EGR outlet is always exposed to manifold vacuum and EGR gas inlet flow is
restricted by an orifice, back pressure at the transducer drops when the EGR valve opens. When
the back pressure drops, the vacuum bleed hole opens, closing the EGR valve and allowing
pressure to build up again. The cycle is continually repeated, modulating the flow of exhaust gas
into the intake manifold.

1-64T-R13, 2-64Y-R12
On approximately December 15, 1982, the 5.8L(W) EEC engine calibrations used in under 8500 lb.
GVW Bronco and F Series Light Trucks were revised to incorporate a new EGR valve and a new
thermactor air control valve (the new thermactor valve is used on the automatic transmission
vehicles only). This engine calibration revision was implemented to improve engine power and fuel
economy. The new calibration numbers are: 1-63T-R13, 2-63Y-R12, 1-64T-R13, and 2-64Y-R12. A
49 State vehicle built prior to this calibration revision may be updated to the new level EGR/air
control valve. The calibrations that are eligible for the revision are: 1-63T-R12, 1-64T-R12,
2-63Y-R11, and 2-64Y-R11.
The new revised automatic transmission production calibration, and any automatic transmission
vehicle updated will require a new self-test procedure be used when diagnosing the EEC system.
Listed below are procedures for updating a vehicle with the power/fuel economy concern followed
by a new self-test procedure to be used on these revised calibrations:
Procedure for revising calibrations with customer concerns.

Procedure for self-testing automatic transmission vehicles with revised calibrations:
With the introduction of production calibrations 1-63T-R13, 2-63Y-R12, 1-64T-R13, and 2-64Y-R12
and the revision to the above-mentioned service calibrations, it is possible to obtain service code
11 or service code "44" when self-testing a properly operating EEC system. If a code "11" is
produced, you may assume the system is functioning properly. If a code "44" is produced, the EEC
system must be subjected to the following NEW quick test procedure:
1. After connecting the EEC III tester, (step 2 of quick test), disconnect and plug the vacuum hose
coming from the thermactor air bypass valve (Figure 12). Remove the manifold vacuum line (black
with red tracer) from the air cleaner bi-metal sensor (on top of the air cleaner lid) and install a 5/32"
vacuum connector in the end of the hose. Install a 2 ft. section of 5/32" vacuum hose between the
connector and the thermactor bypass valve (Figure 12).

On approximately December 15, 1982, the 5.8L(W) EEC engine calibrations used in under 8500 lb.
GVW Bronco and F Series Light Trucks were revised to incorporate a new EGR valve and a new
thermactor air control valve (the new thermactor valve is used on the automatic transmission
vehicles only). This engine calibration revision was implemented to improve engine power and fuel
economy. The new calibration numbers are: 1-63T-R13, 2-63Y-R12, 1-64T-R13, and 2-64Y-R12. A
49 State vehicle built prior to this calibration revision may be updated to the new level EGR/air
control valve. The calibrations that are eligible for the revision are: 1-63T-R12, 1-64T-R12,
2-63Y-R11, and 2-64Y-R11.
The new revised automatic transmission production calibration, and any automatic transmission
vehicle updated will require a new self-test procedure be used when diagnosing the EEC system.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation
In this system the exhaust gases are reintroduced to the combustion cycle, therefore diluting the air
fuel mixture entering the combustion chambers. Dilution of the incoming mixture lowers peak flame
temperatures during combustion and thus limits the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Fig. 46 Spacer entry EGR connection
Some engines use the ``Spacer Entry'' EGR System which has the EGR valve mounted on the
carburetor spacer, Fig. 46. The exhaust gases are taken from a drilled passage in the exhaust
crossover of the intake manifold. The exhaust gas is then routed through a metered EGR valve to a
passage in the carburetor spacer and fed into the primary bore.
Ford F 250 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1982))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Exhaust Gas Recirculation > EGR Valve
> Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1833
Fig. 47 Intake manifold mounted EGR connection
On some engines, the EGR system routes exhaust gas directly from the exhaust manifold, Fig. 47.
Two variables control the operation of the EGR system, 1) engine coolant temperature and 2)
engine or carburetor vacuum. When engine coolant temperature is below the specified level, the
EGR system is locked out by a temperature controlled vacuum switch. This vacuum switch is
installed in series with the EGR valve. This valve receives vacuum from a port in the carburetor
body. When the valve is closed due to lower coolant temperature, no vacuum is applied to the EGR
valve and no exhaust gas is fed to the air-fuel mixture. When the engine coolant temperature
reaches the specified level, the valve opens allowing vacuum to be applied to the EGR valve.
Exhaust gas is then fed to the air-fuel mixture.
The second factor controlling EGR operation is carburetor vacuum. The location of the EGR port in
the carburetor determines at what point vacuum is sent to the EGR valve. Vacuum should be fed to
the EGR vacuum control valve when the primary throttle plate reaches a position corresponding to
a road speed of approximately 20 mph under light acceleration.

Fig. 48 Venturi vacuum amplifier
A Venturi Vacuum Amplifier, Fig. 48, uses a weak venturi vacuum signal to produce a strong intake
manifold vacuum to operate the EGR valve, thereby achieving an accurate, repeatable and almost
exact proportion between venturi airflow and EGR flow. This assists in controlling oxides of
nitrogen with minimal sacrifice in driveability.
There are four basic types of EGR valves: the ported type, the integral back pressure type, the
electronic-sonic type and the valve and transducer assembly type
The electronic-sonic type valve is used with the EEC system.

Fig. 6 EGR valve position sensor
This sensor, Fig. 6, is used to monitor the EGR valve pintle position. The computer applies a
reference voltage to the EVP sensor, and the resulting signal from the EVP sensor is proportional
to the amount of exhaust gases flowing through the EGR valve pintle into the intake manifold.
Depending on the input from this and other sensors, the computer can increase or decrease EGR
flow by activating or deactivating a pair of solenoid vacuum valves.
Fig. 49 Ported type EGR valves
Ported type valves, Fig. 49, may be of the poppet or tapered stem design and can have base or
side entry. The two passages connecting the exhaust system to intake manifold are blocked by a
valve which is opened by vacuum and closed by spring pressure.
Fig. 50 Integral back pressure transducer EGR valve
The integral back pressure transducer valve, Fig. 50, cannot be opened by vacuum until the bleed
hole is closed by exhaust back pressure. When open, the valve oscillates at a level dependent on
the exhaust back pressure flowing through the orifice. Valve opening increases as signal vacuum
and exhaust back pressure increases.

Fig. 51 EGR valve w/remote back pressure transducer
Some vehicles use an EGR valve with a remote back pressure transducer, Fig. 51. This assembly
operates the same as the EGR valve with integral back pressure transducer valve and is serviced
only as an assembly.
Some vehicles use a variable transducer type EGR valve and consists of three components; a
vacuum regulator, EGR valve and a flow control orifice. The regulator modulates the vacuum signal
to the EGR valve using two back pressure inputs. One input is the standard vehicle back pressure
and the other is the back pressure down stream of the flow control orifice. The control chamber
pickup is in the EGR tube and the flow control orifice is integral with the upstream EGR tube
connector.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve: Description and Operation
Fig. 62 Typical PCV system
Fig. 63 Typical PCV valve
All engines produce small amounts of blowby gases which seep past the piston rings and into the
crankcase. These blowby gases are the result of the high pressures developed within the
combustion chamber during the combustion process, and contain undesirable pollutants. To
prevent blow-by gases from entering atmosphere while allowing proper crankcase ventilation, all
engines use a PCV system, Fig. 62.
The PCV system prevents blowby gases from escaping by routing them through a vacuum
controlled ventilating valve and a hose into the intake manifold. The blowby gases mix with the
air/fuel mixture and are burned in the combustion chambers. When the engine is running, fresh air
is drawn into the crankcase through a tube or hose connected to the air cleaner housing.
The PCV valve, Fig. 63, consists of a needle valve, spring and housing. When the engine is off, the
spring holds the needle valve closed to stop vapors from entering the intake manifold. When the
engine is running, manifold vacuum unseats the valve allowing crankcase vapors to enter the
intake manifold. In case of a backfire in the intake manifold, the valve closes, stopping the backflow
and preventing ignition of fumes in the crankcase. During certain engine conditions, more blowby
gases are created than the ventilator valve can handle. The excess is returned through the air
intake tube to the air cleaner and carburetor where it is burned in the engine.

AIR CLEANER SEALING - 4.9L (1982-83 F-SERIES AND BRONCO ONLY) AND ALL UNITS
WITH 5.0L, 5.8L OR 7.5L ENGINES. UNITS OPERATED IN DUSTY AND/OR OFF-ROAD
CONDITIONS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES SEALING OF 7200VV CARBURETOR ON UNITS SO EQUIPPED
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 E, F AND BRONCO
This is a re-write of TSB 83-25-21 (December 12, 1983). The air cleaner part numbers listed in the
TSB are of insufficient detail and are therefore being deleted from the TSB.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listing for these part numbers.
The subject vehicles operated in dusty/off-road conditions may experience an air cleaner sealing
concern which could lead to engine oil consumption or, on 7200 VV carburetor equipped vehicles,
a poor running condition. The following procedure should minimize these concerns.
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly from the engine and remove any loose debris from inside the
tray. Replace the air cleaner assembly (9600) on all 1983 4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L and, 7.5L equipped light
trucks except the 1983 Econoline with the 4.9L engine.
Due to the variety of different air cleaners used, part numbers have not been included in this TSB.
See your normal parts listings for these part numbers.
2. Wipe the sealing surfaces clean on the tray and cover and inspect for any dents or damage that
would prevent a good seal. Replace any damaged components.
3. Inspect the air cleaner to carburetor gasket for proper installation. If the gasket appears crimped
or damaged, replace it with a new sticky-back gasket. Prior to replacing the gasket, clean the
carburetor flange. Install the new gasket sticky side down and press all the gasket down to assure
a tight bond.
Gasket parts numbers: 4.9L - C8DZ-9654-A, 5.0L/5.8L/7.5L - D8ZZ-9654-A.

4. For F-Series and Bronco only, relocate the zip tube inlet. a) Detach the zip tube inlet from the
radiator support. b) Move the inlet to the top rear of the wheel wellhousing per Figure 24. c) Secure
the zip tube to the top of the housing with a nylon tie-down
strap. NOTE: At high temperatures, an octane ping may occur. If it persists, the zip tube must be
reinstalled to the radiator support. 5.
Replace the PCV filter. For 4.9L, 5.0L-2V, 5.8L-2V and 7.5L-4V engines replace the PCV filter in
the air cleaner with an in-line filter.
a. Remove and discard the crankcase breather cap to PCV filter hose (closure hose), PCV filter in

b. Drill a 5/16" hole in the side wall of the air cleaner approximately 12" to the rear of the existing
crankcase closure hole for 5.0L and 5.8L and approximately 6" to the rear on 7.5L. (The 4.9L does
not need a new hole).
c. Install a 1/2" hose (E2AZ-6853-A) to the existing adaptor in the valve cover oil fill cap (2 pcs.
2-5/8" long for 4.9L, 18" long for 5.0L/5.8L, 12" long for 7.5L).
d. At a convenient location, cut the hose and install an in-line filter E2AZ-6A768-A for 5.0L, 5.8L
and 7.5L. On the 4.9L, install the filter between the 2-5/8" long pieces installed in (c.).
NOTE: Install the filter with the wire mesh toward the oil fill cap. The mesh can be seen by looking
into the end of the filter assembly.
e. Install an adapter E43Z-9E606-A in the air cleaner and attach using a retaining clip 383741-S.
Center the adapter elbow in the new hole for 5.0L, 5.8L and 7.5L. Use the existing PCV filter
(closure) pack hole for 4.9L.
f. Cut the PCV filter (closure) hose to proper length and attach to the adapter.
g. Plug the old hole in the tray with plug 377678-S for 5.0L, 5.8L and 7.5L only.
FIGURE 25
6. For 5.0L and 5.8L engines with a 7200 VV carburetor, clean and seal the carburetor to prevent
dirt migration through the choke rod and accelerator pump rod holes (Refer to Figure 25).
a. Remove the carburetor from the vehicle.
b. Without disassembling the carburetor, thoroughly clean with Ford Automatic Choke Cleaner or
equivalent, all of the choke linkage and accelerator pump linkage on the top and sides of the
carburetor. Pay particular attention to the top and bottom of the upper body casting around the
choke and accelerator pump rods. Allow cleaner to evaporate or blow dry with shop air.
c. Remove stepper motor, gasket, pintle and spring. Clean pintle and pintle cavity in main body
casting thoroughly with Ford Automatic Choke Cleaner or equivalent. Do not re-install stepper

f. With a toothpick, apply silicone RTV to bottom side of upper body casting around the choke shaft
rod. Fill the hole completely around the rod from the bottom side only.
g. Install the spring, pintle, gasket, and stepper motor.
h. Allow carburetor to stand at room temperature for 24 hours without disturbing silicone RTV.
i. After 24-hour cure, remove rubber band from throttle lever, and open throttle to break (free)
accelerator pump rod from silicone RTV. Bulk of RTV sealant should remain attached to upper
body.
j. Manually exercise choke linkage to break (free) choke rod from silicone RTV. Bulk of RTV
sealant should remain attached to upper body.
k. Re-install carburetor on vehicle.
7. Re-install and secure the air cleaner assembly as follows:
a. Set the air cleaner tray assembly on the carburetor and check that nothing is preventing the tray
seating securely and completely sealing the flange.
b. Connect and secure the vacuum hoses.
c. Install and seat a new heavy duty air cleaner element in the tray. Use E2TZ-9601-B (FA-732) for
4.9L and E0TZ-9601-A (FA-688) for 5.0L/5.8L. Use non-heavy duty element for 7.5L.
NOTE: Use of incorrect element will allow dirt to be ingested and will damage the engine.
d. Install the air cleaner cover and place the washer grommet rubber side down. Torque the wing
nut hand tight (20 in.lbs.). Try to rotate the air cleaner assembly slightly. If it resists rotation, sealing
to the carburetor is assured.
e. Connect the crankcase filter hose securely.
f. Install the heat riser tube. Connect the fresh air zip tube.

Bowl Vent Solenoid: Description and Operation
Fig. 9 Carburetor fuel bowl solenoid vent valve
This valve, Fig. 9, used on some vehicles, is a normally open valve located in the fuel bowl vent
line to the carbon canister. When the engine is running, the valve closes off the fuel bowl vent line.
When the engine is shut off, the vent line returns to the normally open condition.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Carburetor > Bowl Vent Solenoid >
Component Information > Locations > Page 1916
Bowl Vent Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Apply 12 volts to valve. The valve should close, allowing no air to pass.
NOTE: If a lean fuel mixture is suspected of causing a problem, inspect either the solenoid vent
valve or the fuel bowl vent valve for proper closing during engine operation. If the valve opens,
allowing purged vacuum to affect fuel bowl balanced air pressure, the carburetor will give a leaner
air/fuel mixture. On EEC equipped engines with a 7200 VV feedback carburetor (back-suction type
only), the opposite (rich mixture) will result from an open or leaking valve.
CAUTION: The utmost care should be exercised when using a torch in the area of the fuel
evaporation system as an open flame near these hoses may cause a fire and ultimate explosion.
NOTE: Vapor line hoses used in these systems are made from a special rubber material. Bulk
service hoses are available for service and will be marked "EVAP". Ordinary fuel hoses should not
be used. They are subject to deterioration and may clog system.
CAUTION: Installation of a fill cap from a non-emission fuel tank will render the system inoperative,
since the non-emission fill cap is vented and the system must be sealed to function properly. Also if
a non-vented fill cap is installed on a conventional tank, the result will be a serious deformation or a
total collapse of the fuel tank.

Replacement of the OEM alternator to accomodate higher current requirements of vehicle-mounted
electrical equipment may adversely affect the operation of the electric choke on those vehicles so
equipped. For this reason, it is important to examine the electrical system on a subject vehicle to
determine if an electric choke is connected to the OEM alternator stator terminal. If there is such a
connection, a similar connection must be provided on the replacement alternator.
Contact the manufacturer of the replacement alternator to determine the correct method of
connecting to the alternator stator.

Electric Assist Choke: Description and Operation
Fir. 38 - Typical Electric Assist Choke Installation
Fig.39 - Electric Assist Choke Wiring Schematic
Purpose
Most 1973-82 models are equipped with an electric assist choke to reduce hydrocarbon (HC) and
carbon monoxide (CO) emissions during starting and warm-up--choke on--period.
The electric assist choke is designed to give a more rapid choke opening at temperatures of about
60° to 65° F, or higher. It also provides a slower choke opening at temperatures below this point.
Operation
Current is constantly supplied to the ambient temperature switch. The system is grounded through
a ground strap connected to the carburetor body. At temperatures below approximately 60
degrees, the switch opens and no current is supplied to the ceramic heater located within the
thermostatic spring. Normal thermostatic spring choking action then occurs.
At temperatures above approximately 60-65 degrees, the temperature sensing switch closes and
current is supplied to the ceramic heater. As the heater warms, it causes the thermostatic spring to
pull the choke plates open within 1-1/2 minutes.
The electric assist choke system does not change any carburetor service procedures and cannot
be adjusted.

<--> [Choke Thermostat/Heater] > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Page 1961
If system is found out of calibration the heater control switch and/or choke unit must be replaced.
Construction
The electric choke system, Figs. 38 and 39, consists of a choke cap, thermostatic spring, a bimetal
temperature sensing disc (switch), and a ceramic positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater.
The choke is powered from terminal or tap of the alternator.

Electric Assist Choke: Testing and Inspection
Procedure
1. Disconnect stator lead at connector leading from choke cap and connect a test light in series
with stator lead and ground.
2. With engine running, test light should glow.
3. If light does not glow, repair or replace either the alternator or choke wire.
4. With engine running at normal operating temperature, place test light in series with choke
terminal and alternator lead. If light does not glow,
replace choke cap assembly.

Compensator
Fig. 7 Electrical type altitude compensator
ELECTRICAL The electrical type altitude compensator, Fig. 7, used on some vehicles, is mounted
on the ignition module. The compensator improves emissions and aids engine performance at
altitudes above 4000 ft. by advancing the timing and leaning the air/fuel mixture.
Fig. 8 Mechanical type altitude compensator
MECHANICAL The mechanical type altitude compensator, Fig. 8, is mounted on the bulkhead. The
compensator leans the air/fuel mixture at altitudes above 3000 ft. by supplying additional filtered air
to the carburetor.

Idle/Altitude Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Description and Operation Hot Idle
Compensator
Fig. 17 Hot idle compensator
The hot idle compensator, Fig. 17, used on some vehicles, cools the engine during hot idle
operation. The compensator may be integral with the carburetor or mounted separately. When
open, the compensator bleeds air into the manifold, leaning out the air/fuel mixture at idle. This
increased air intake causes an increase in engine idle speed, resulting in cooling of the engine.
Temperature rise on the bi-metal sensor lifts the normally closed valve and opens the air passage.
A valve that does not fully close will cause high idle speed and excessive exhaust emission.

Idle/Altitude Compensator (Non Comp. Controlled): Testing and Inspection
ELECTRICAL
1. Check and record engine timing.
2. Disconnect compensator from ignition module and connect suitable jumper wire across module
connectors. Recheck engine timing.
3. At altitudes of 4000 ft. or lower, timing should be advanced 4° on V8-302 engine, or 6° on
V8-351 engine.
4. At altitudes of 4000 ft. or higher on 6-300 engine, or 4600 ft. or more on V8-302 and V8-351
engines, there should be no change in timing.
Fig. 8 Mechanical type altitude compensator
MECHANICAL
1. Connect a suitable vacuum gauge to air inlet nipple, Fig. 8, and check for vacuum with engine
running.
2. On 4-140 engine, there should be no vacuum at altitudes of 2500 ft. or lower and vacuum should
be present at altitudes of 3000 ft. or higher.
3. On V6-232 engines, there should be no vacuum at altitudes of 3500 ft. or lower and vacuum
should be present at altitudes of 4000 ft. or higher.

temperatures over 85~F or at elevations over 4,500 feet, may be the result of fuel vaporization. A
modification kit is available for vehicles experiencing this condition. It consists of an in-tank fuel
pump, inertia shut-off switch, motorized fuel selector valve, vapor separator, and a vapor return
system, along with related fuel lines and electrical wiring and devices.
Before this modification is considered, other factors that could result in the same symptoms should
be evaluated. Some of these include:
^ Plugged fuel filter at carburetor or tank.
^ Restricted fuel line.
^ Contaminated or low quality fuel.
^ Malfunctioning fuel pump or carburetor.
If it is determined that the above factors have not caused the customer concern then the
appropriate modification kit should be used to change the fuel system.
Hardware Required:
Components required to modify the vehicle differ with vehicle series, engine model and type of fuel
tank. These have been packaged into 13 different kits. The chart that follows describes the specific

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

Engines with EEC III Turn ignition to RUN position and remove vacuum hose from throttle kicker,
as equipped. With engine not running, compare voltage reading against specifications and adjust
as needed.
Engines with EEC IV Connect positive probe of DVOM along terminal C (lower) of TPS and
connect negative probe along terminal A (upper). Turn ignition on but do not start vehicle. Adjust
TPS to specified value.

ACCELERATOR LINKAGE - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 LIGHT TRUCKS
Servicing of Cable-Type Acceleration Linkage
The following procedure will assist in diagnosing accelerator linkage concerns on 1980-83 light
trucks.
If the accelerator pedal, when operated, is hard to push down or feels "raspy" or "sticky", perform
the following:
1. First disconnect the accelerator cable from the carburetor (or injector pump) throttle lever ball
stud. Also disconnect the cruise control from the accelerator cable if so equipped.
2. Then check the following items:
^ Be sure that the disconnected end of the cable or its spring does not come into contact with any
of the surrounding parts.
^ Operate the pedal by foot.
^ If accelerator operation is smooth, the pedal assembly and cable are not the cause of the
concern. Refer to the carburetor/injector pump diagnosis procedures in the appropriate shop
manual for additional checks.
^ E, F, Bronco and Ranger with gas engine - See General Fuel System Service Section 24-01.
^ Ranger with Diesel Engine - See Ranger Shop Manual - 2.2L Diesel Engine Section 22-09 of the
Engine Performance Diagnostic Guide.
^ F Series with the 6.9L Diesel Engine - See the 1983 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Engine Electronics
Section 25-64.
^ If the concern persists (being sure disconnected end of cable has not come into contact with
anything), check foot pedal assembly for free operation. If pedal operation is free, replace the
cable.
If you have a high engine idle speed concern, check the following linkage systems:
1. First disconnect the accelerator cable from the carburetor (or injector pump) throttle lever ball
stud. Also disconnect the cruise control from the accelerator cable if so equipped.
^ If the cable ball socket extends beyond the throttle lever ball stud, refer to the carburetor
diagnosis procedures in the appropriate shop manual for the correct adjustment procedure. ^
If the socket does not extend beyond the stud, check the foot pedal assembly for free operation. If
the pedal operation is free, replace the cable.
NOTE: The accelerator cable should not be lubricated and it is not serviceable.

ACCELERATOR LINKAGE - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-83 LIGHT TRUCKS
Servicing of Cable-Type Acceleration Linkage
The following procedure will assist in diagnosing accelerator linkage concerns on 1980-83 light
trucks.
If the accelerator pedal, when operated, is hard to push down or feels "raspy" or "sticky", perform
the following:
1. First disconnect the accelerator cable from the carburetor (or injector pump) throttle lever ball
stud. Also disconnect the cruise control from the accelerator cable if so equipped.
2. Then check the following items:
^ Be sure that the disconnected end of the cable or its spring does not come into contact with any
of the surrounding parts.
^ Operate the pedal by foot.
^ If accelerator operation is smooth, the pedal assembly and cable are not the cause of the
concern. Refer to the carburetor/injector pump diagnosis procedures in the appropriate shop
manual for additional checks.
^ E, F, Bronco and Ranger with gas engine - See General Fuel System Service Section 24-01.
^ Ranger with Diesel Engine - See Ranger Shop Manual - 2.2L Diesel Engine Section 22-09 of the
Engine Performance Diagnostic Guide.
^ F Series with the 6.9L Diesel Engine - See the 1983 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Engine Electronics
Section 25-64.
^ If the concern persists (being sure disconnected end of cable has not come into contact with
anything), check foot pedal assembly for free operation. If pedal operation is free, replace the
cable.
If you have a high engine idle speed concern, check the following linkage systems:
1. First disconnect the accelerator cable from the carburetor (or injector pump) throttle lever ball
stud. Also disconnect the cruise control from the accelerator cable if so equipped.
^ If the cable ball socket extends beyond the throttle lever ball stud, refer to the carburetor
diagnosis procedures in the appropriate shop manual for the correct adjustment procedure. ^
If the socket does not extend beyond the stud, check the foot pedal assembly for free operation. If
the pedal operation is free, replace the cable.
NOTE: The accelerator cable should not be lubricated and it is not serviceable.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Throttle position sensor (typical)
This sensor, Fig. 2, is basically a rheostat switch attached to the carburetor throttle shaft and
responds to throttle valve angle changes. The throttle angles are classified into three operating
modes as follows:
a. Closed Throttle (Idle or Deceleration)
b. Part Throttle
c. Wide Open Throttle (Maximum Acceleration)
The ECA applies a reference voltage of about 9 volts to the sensor. The resultant sensor voltage
supplied to the ECA, which is determined by the throttle position, is used by the ECA to determine
the proper amount of spark advance, EGR flow, air/fuel ratio and thermactor air mode. The throttle
position sensor mounting holes are slotted to permit adjustment. If the sensor is replaced, it must
be correctly positioned or incorrect throttle information will be sent to the ECA. The adjustment
requires use of special electronic test equipment.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig.6 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
Fig.7 - Crankshaft Position Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism
The vacuum spark control mechanism can provide spark advance if a single diaphragm assembly
is used or spark advance and retard if a dual diaphragm assembly is used. The diaphragm
assembly used depends on the engine calibration.
Single Diaphragm Assembly
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The single diaphragm assembly, Fig. 11, also changes the
armature to stator relationship to give spark advance. The stator assembly position is changed by
means of vacuum being applied to the diaphragm assembly. Vacuum applied to the diaphragm
assembly causes the diaphragm and attached diaphragm rod to move, compressing the advance
spring, which controls the rate of advance. The movement of the diaphragm rod, which is attached
to the stator assembly, makes the the stator assembly move with respect to the armature. This
changes the initial armature to stator relationship set during initial timing, causing spark advance.
The stator assembly is mounted on the lower plate assembly which with the diaphragm assembly,
is attached to the distributor base.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Vacuum Spark Advance Mechanism > Page 2134
Dual Diaphragm Assembly
DUAL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY The dual diaphragm assembly, Fig. 12, obtains spark advance in
the same manner as the single diaphragm assembly. In this case vacuum applied to the vacuum
advance port causes the advance diaphragm and attached rod to move, otherwise the action is the
same. Spark retard is done by applying vacuum to the vacuum retard port. This causes the retard
diaphragm to move, compressing the retard spring, which controls the rate of spark retard.
Compressing the retard spring allows the diaphragm rod stop to move due to the force applied by
the advance spring pushing against it by means of the diaphragm rod. The result is the diaphragm
rod moves causing the attached stator assembly to change position with respect to the armature. In
this instance the direction of the stator assembly movement is opposite that occurring during
vacuum advance, resulting in spark retard. NOTE: Any vacuum applied to the advance port
overrides any spark retard caused by vacuum being applied to the retard port.

Distributor Advance Unit: Description and Operation Centrifugal Spark Advance Mechanism
Distributor - Exploded view
The centrifugal advance mechanism varies the relationship of the armature to the stator assembly.
The armature is mounted to the sleeve and plate assembly which rotates in relation to the
distributor shaft. The rotation is a result of the centrifugal weights moving in response to engine
RPM. The movement of the weights change the initial relationship of the armature to the stator
assembly by rotating the sleeve and plate assembly ahead of its static position on the distributor
shaft Fig. 1. This produces spark advance. The rate of movement of the weights is controlled by
calibrated springs.

Fig.25 - Spark Delay Valve
This unit is used in conjunction with some of the other Ford systems. Its purpose is to further
reduce emissions by delaying the spark advance during rapid acceleration and by cutting off
advance immediately upon deceleration. Fig. 25.
This plastic disc-shaped valve is installed in the carburetor vacuum line at the distributor advance
diaphragm. It is a one way valve and will not operate if installed backwards. The black side of the
valve must be toward the carburetor. This valve cannot be repaired.
NOTE: On all systems which employ the dual diaphragm distributor the line which has high vacuum
at idle (normal operating temperature) is
connected to the secondary (retard) side of the distributor vacuum advance unit. This is the
connection closest to the distributor cap.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Typical Ignition System
The Ignition Module shuts off the primary circuit each time it receives a pulse from the magnetic
pick-up Fig. 9. A timing circuit in the ignition module turns the primary current back on after a short
period of time. High voltage is created each time the magnetic field is built up and collapsed. The
red ignition module wire provides operating voltage for the module's electronic components in the
Run mode. The white module wire and start bypass provide increased voltage for the module and
coil during Start mode.
Ignition Modules
Dura Spark II systems with UIM (Universal Ignition Module) Fig. 10 can respond to another control
signal from either an Ignition Barometric Pressure Switch, Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch, or the
Microprocessor Control Unit (MCU), depending on the engine calibration. Responding to this
second signal, the UIM provides additional spark timing control for certain operating conditions by
shutting off the ignition coil current flow at a different time than with just the distributor pick-up
signal.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation
Knock Sensor
The knock sensor, Fig. 11, is a piezo-electric accelerator accelerometer with the sensor designed
to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock frequency.. The sensor uses
the resonant frequency to mechanically amplify the engine knock frequency (5-6 KHz).
This method allows relatively large signals to be achieved without electrical amplification. The
sensor has a thin circular piezoelectric ceramic disk which is bonded to a metal diaphragm.
Electrical connections are made through a two-pin integral connector.

Fig.8 - MCU System Wiring Circuit
1. Make sure that the following three steps are properly conducted in order to simulate spark knock
conditions and determine that spark detection
system is inoperative. If not, repeat test to verify problem. a. Make sure that engine is at normal
operating temperature. Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, then turn key off. Immediately
restart engine
and allow to idle.
b. Observe voltmeter and vacuum gauge for initialization pulses after restarting the engine. The
throttle kicker will also extend (increase engine
speed) and remain on throughout the test.
c. On vehicles with spark knock sensor, when initial pulses occur, immediately simulate spark
knock by placing a 3/8 inch extension on manifold
near base of knock sensor. Tap end of extension with a small hammer for about 15 seconds.
2. Disconnect jumper wire from self-test trigger input circuit 201. 3. With ignition key off, disconnect
vehicle harness from spark knock sensor. 4. Using a torque wrench and a 1 1/8 inch deep socket,
make sure that spark sensor is torqued to 12-18 ft. lbs. If sensor is properly torqued, proceed
to next step. If not, torque to specifications.
5. Disconnect vehicle harness from MCU and spark sensor. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to
circuit 310 of vehicle harness and other lead to
engine block, Fig. 8. If resistance is 1000 ohms or more, proceed to next step. If resistance is less
than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in circuit 301.
6. With key off and knock sensor harness disconnected, check circuit 310 of vehicle harness for
continuity. If resistance is 10 ohms or less, continue
to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, repair circuit 310.
7. Check circuit 60 of vehicle harness for continuity between knock sensor and MCU, Fig. 8. If
resistance is 10 ohms or less, reconnect harness
connector to MCU and proceed to next step. If resistance is greater than 10 ohms, service circuit
60.
8. Reconnect jumper wire to circuits 201 and 60 of VIP connector, Fig. 8. 9. Connect a test lamp to
positive terminal of battery, then disconnect knock sensor from vehicle harness.
10. Perform "Engine Running Functional Test" procedure. When the four initialization pulses occur,
continuously tap circuit 310 of the vehicle
harness connector, which mates to the knock sensor connector, with the probe end for 5 seconds
while observing voltmeter pulses. If a code 25 is

observed, replace MCU. If any other code is observed, replace spark knock sensor.
SPARK KNOCK, ONLY AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND/OR POOR PERFORMANCE/MILEAGE
1. If engine has a spark knock sensor, disconnect it. 2. Make sure that ignition timing is within
specifications. 3. With engine running at normal operating temperature, disconnect the two wire
ignition module connector (yellow wire is circuit 324 and
black/white wire is circuit 69) from vehicle harness. Using a jumper wire, jump the wires together at
the ignition module and note ignition timing. Remove jumper wire and note ignition timing. If timing
retards 16-20 degrees, reconnect ignition module and proceed to next step. If timing does not
retard 16-20 degrees, replace ignition module and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
4. With engine at normal operating temperature, set high cam on lowest step that will maintain
engine speed greater than 1200 rpm. Note ignition
timing, then disconnect and plug vacuum hose from zone vacuum switch and again note timing. If
timing retards more than 5 degrees, on engines with spark knock sensor, proceed to step 6, on all
other engines MCU system is okay. If timing does not retard more than 5 degrees, proceed to next
step.
5. With engine still at 1200 rpm, disconnect ignition module (connector with yellow and black/white
wires). If timing retards, check circuit 324 for
short to ground. If circuit is okay, replace MCU unit and retest. If timing does not retard, check
circuit 324 for open circuit. If circuit is okay, Replace MCU unit and retest.
6. On engines with spark knock sensor, reconnect sensor. Repeat Engine Running Functional
Test, but do not simulate knock by taping sensor. If
service code 25 appears, MCU system is okay, testing is completed. If any other service code
appears, replace knock sensor and retest.

DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft vibration damper is fitted with a four-lobe "pulse ring" which provides the system
with an accurate indication of when the pistons reach 10 BTDC. This indication is called the
reference timing. Figs. 6 and 7.
The pulse ring is a powdered metal ring positioned on the crankshaft vibration damper during
manufacture. It has four equally spaced lobes which represent crankshaft position when the pistons
reach 10 BTDC.
During operation, the lobes on the pulse ring pass by the tip of the CP sensor. The pulse ring
interrupts the magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. When the field is interrupted, an output signal
is generated and sent to the ECA.
As the crankshaft turns, the ECA evaluates the electrical impulses to determine the exact position
of the crankshaft at any given time. By the frequency of the impulses, the ECA can determine the
engine speed. With these two factors, the ECA will determine the appropriate ignition timing
advance required for best engine operation.

Ignition Timing Vacuum Switch: Description and Operation
This system used on some vehicles, consists of an ambient temperature switch, a three-way
vacuum valve, a latching relay and an external inline vacuum bleed. The three-way vacuum valve
is used to select the carburetor vacuum source that is supplied to the distributor vacuum advance
mechanism. The ambient temperature switch provides the switching circuit to determine which
vacuum source will be selected as a function of outside air temperature. The latching relay,
activated by temperature switch closing, remains energized regardless of temperature switch
position which prevents system cycling due to minor ambient temperature changes. The inline
vacuum bleed function is to purge the vacuum line in the CTAV system of any excessive gasoline
vapors.

Customer concerns of a no 3-4 upshift or a slipping 4th gear can result from causes such as: the
direct clutch check ball leaking, miscellaneous leakage or a blocked hydraulic circuit condition,
improper torque on the valve body or sticking valves, a leaking governor, the converter damper/hub
assembly malfunctioning.
Replacement of the direct clutch cylinder piston assembly to alleviate check ball leakage has been
effective in most instances.
To verify the direct clutch circuit leakage concern, perform the pressure test below as stated
previously. Leakage in the direct clutch circuit has been attributed most of the time to a leaking
check ball in the direct clutch piston. Replacement of the direct clutch piston will alleviate this
condition. However, since other factors can be involved, the following additional
checks/verifications are listed to aid you in a complete comprehensive concern diagnosis for
customer symptoms of a no 3-4 shift or a slipping 4th gear.
NOTE: To alleviate the direct clutch check ball wedging concern in the piston, a star washer
replaced the staking operation mid-March, 1983. All current service parts depot stock have the
updated direct clutch piston level.
Preliminary Checks/Information Verify the following steps have been accomplished:
^ Road test the vehicle to verify the customer complaint. A no 3-4 upshift is characterized by
staying in 3rd gear. A slipping 4th gear is characterized by engine cut-loose on the 3-4 upshift and
no 4th gear drive capability.
^ Check TV rod and see if bent or sticking.
^ Check TV linkage (could be misadjusted long).
Bent, sticking or misadjusted TV linkage will not properly synchronize with the carburetor lever at
the time a 3-4 shift should occur.
^ Check control pressure and throttle pressure to identify that they are within specifications.
The new 3-4 shift valve (refer to TSB 83-10-11) changes the 3-4 shift pattern. The shift will occur at
a higher mph.
Direct Clutch Pressure Test
The direct clutch pressure test outlined below will diagnose a low pressure condition or leakage in
the direct clutch circuit. A difference of 15 psi or more between direct clutch pressure and line
pressure (read at the forward clutch pressure tap) will prevent a 3-4 shift.
1. Attach 0-300 psi pressure gages to the forward clutch pressure tap and to the direct clutch
pressure tap. Gage accuracy must be capable of distinguishing a 15 psi difference. (If this test is
done in conjunction with a control pressure test, pressure gages will be attached to all pressure
taps.) Have sufficient flexible hose to read the gages in the vehicle.
CAUTION: PRESSURE GAGES AFFECT THE SHIFT QUALITY OF THE TRANSMISSION. CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO
ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE RAPIDLY. POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE COULD
RESULT.
2. Drive the vehicle. When pressure is applied to the direct clutch, note the difference between the
line pressure read at forward clutch pressure tap and the direct clutch pressure.
3. If the difference in pressures is less than 15 psi, the direct clutch circuit is OK.
4. If the difference is greater than 15 psi, there could be a leak in the direct clutch pressure circuit.
(Proceed to the No 3-4 Upshift With Direct Clutch Pressure Greater Than 15 PSI Diagnostic
Procedure). If the difference does exceed 15 psi, the gages on line pressure and direct clutch
pressure can be switched to confirm that gage calibration difference is not the cause. (Proceed to
the No 3-4 Upshift With Direct Clutch Pressure Less Than 15 PSI Diagnostic Procedure or to the
Slipping 4th Gear Diagnostic Procedure if applicable).
No 3-4 Upshift With Direct Clutch Pressure Greater Than 15 PSI (Indicates Linkage) Diagnostic
Procedure
NOTE: Direct clutch plates burnt will help to confirm leakage in the direct clutch circuit. Replacing
only the plates and not finding the cause could

result in a repeat service.
^ Check torque on valve body bolts.
^ Check to see if main control gasket is blocking an orifice.
^ Check for nicks or porosity in the case passages (valve body to case mating surface).
^ Check the direct clutch piston check ball for leakage
- inspect the piston check ball for freedom of movement. Improper seating of check ball will cause
leakage. Leakage can be detected by turning the piston upside down (flat side of piston facing you)
allowing the check ball to seat in the piston. Pour a small quantity of solvent over the check ball. If
solvent drops past the check ball, replace the piston.
^ Inspect the output shaft feed passages and the cup plug for leakage. Apply 5-10 psi air to the
output shaft feed passages. Refer to the AOD operation and diagnosis guide (course 1720-001) p.
32 for location of the feed passages. If air comes out the wrong feed passage, replace the output
shaft.
^ Check direct clutch piston seal rings (inner and outer) for leakage.
^ Check all direct clutch output shaft seals for freedom of movement and for metal shavings and
burrs between seal and output shaft.
^ Check the direct clutch cylinder for groove marks on the rear ID of the drum. Groove marks
indicate the small cast iron seal rings are turning with the output shaft and grooving the cylinder.
Groove marks may be caused by contamination or burrs in the output
shaft ring groove causing the seal rings to turn with the output shaft. Visually check the output ring
grooves carefully. Replace as necessary the output shaft, the seal rings and the cylinder.
No 3-4 Upshift With Direct Clutch Pressure Less Than 15 PSI (Indicates No Leakage In The Direct
Clutch Circuit) Diagnostic Procedure
^ Clean the valve body. Check for sticking valves as follows: Overdrive servo regulator valve; 3-4
shift valve; 3-4 TV modulator valve; orifice control valve. If any valves are sticking and they cannot
be freed, replace valve body.
^ Reduce valve body bolt torque to minimum side of specification 80 in.lbs.
^ Check the fit of the governor counterweight on the output shaft. If the fit is sloppy, replace the
counterweight.
^ Check the governor to output shaft retaining ring to make sure it is properly seated on the output
shaft. Service as necessary.
^ Check last two large seal rings on the output shaft (#9, #10). They should move freely. Check for
metal shaving contamination or burrs between the seal and output shaft. Replace as necessary.
^ Check the seal ring bore at the rear of case for scoring. Light scoring is permissable. Deep
grooving indicates case wear. Replace case for deep grooving.
Slipping 4th Gear Diagnostic Procedure
NOTE: Burnt overdrive band will help confirm leakage in the overdrive circuit. Replacing only the
overdrive band without finding the cause will result in a repeat service. If the overdrive band is not
burnt, the converter damper/hub weld has usually been found to be suspect.
^ Check overdrive servo cover O-rings and servo piston seal for possible leakage. Replace O-rings
and seal if leakage is evident.
^ Verify the overdrive servo cover is not cracked/porous. Coat cover with fluid. Apply air to
overdrive servo, apply passage using tool (T80L- 77030-B). Observe to see if air bubbles are
present on overdrive servo cover. Replace cover if air bubbles are present.
^ Check the overdrive servo case apply passage to see if it is blocked. Air pressure test. Replace
case if necessary.
^ Verify the overdrive servo piston is seated correctly to the band end seat.
^ Verify the overdrive band is seated correctly to anchor pin.
^ Check the torque converter for damper/hub weld
failure. Perform converter damper/hub assembly weld check procedure. Refer to Shop Manual,
Section 17-01. Use special service tools T83L-7902- A.
Replace converter if shaft turns more than two degrees or if there is a grinding noise while applying
50 ft.lbs. torque.
^ Check splines on both ends of the direct driveshaft and in direct clutch cylinder for distortion.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

Figure 12 - Front Pump Seal
Transmission fluid leaks at the front pump seal in vehicles equipped with an AOD transmission built
prior to October 1, 1985 may be caused by a variation in location of the fluid drainback hole at the
pump allowing fluid to leak around the seal. If the drainback hole bridges across the outer edge of
the pump seal, the seal may collapse in the hole causing a leak past the outside diameter of the
seal (Figure 12).
1. Remove the front pump seal using procedures outlined in Section l7-20-34 of the 1985 Car Shop

2. Check the relationship of the drainback hole at the pump body to the sealing face of the seal
(Figure 12). If the hole bridges the seal metal face, thoroughly clean and dry the pump body seal
mating surface with spot remover (B7A-19521-A).
Figure 14 - Front Pump Seal - Outside Diameter Metal Surface
3. Obtain a new seal (C2AZ-7A248-A) and clean any oil that may be on the metal surface. Apply
silicone sealant (E3AZ-19562-A) in a continuous 1/16" to 1/8" diameter bead to the outside
diameter metal surface of the seal (Figure 14, Step 1). Distribute the bead of sealant into a thin film
as shown.
NOTE: The silicone sealant is distributed in a cartridge tube. The nozzle should be cut to permit a
flow of sealant 1/16" to 1/8" in diameter. Do not apply more than a 1/8" bead as the drainback hole
could become plugged.
4. Apply a 1/16" to 1/8" diameter bead of sealant in the corner of the pocket of the pump body seal
mating surface (Figure 14, Step 2).
NOTE: The bead must be adequate across the drainback hole but not plug the hole. If the hole is
blocked, drainback behind the seal will not be provided and leakage could still occur.

Automatic transmission overheating reported on referenced model vehicles operating in low
ambient temperatures of minus 30~F/minus 34~C or below may be the result of reduced fluid flow
through the external oil cooler due to excessive fluid cooling (thickening). This reduced fluid flow
may cause loss of fluid or tranmission overheating.
Symptoms, after low ambient temperatures operation, are as follows:
1. Change in color of transmission fluid.
2. Smell of fluid or evidence of transmission fluid on or under the vehicle.
If the above conditions are noted or if transmission service or replacement is required due to

CLUTCH - RELEASE BEARING SQUEAK/SCRAPE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1982-83 E & F150-350, BRONCO
The concern is usually characterized by a squeal which occurs with the engine running and light
pressure applied to the clutch pedal. The squeal stops when greater force is applied to the pedal,
which occurs when disengaging the clutch. Under light pedal pressure, the release bearing load is
insufficient to overcome the friction of the stationary bearing, and metal to metal squeal/scrape
results between the bearing and the rotating pressure plate. Under greater axial loads, the bearing
rotates with the pressure plate, and the squeal stops.
Major factors which tend to increase the tendency for a release bearing to squeal are as follows: 1.
Insufficient free play.
2. Lack of clutch housing concentricity and parallelism.
3. Out of plane pressure fingers.
The recommended respective diagnostic/service procedure for the above factors are as follows: 1.
Check clutch linkage free play per Section 16-03 of 1983 Light Truck Shop Manual.
2. Check clutch housing bore and face run out per Shop Manual procedure Section 16-01.
3. Check pressure plate finger heights per Shop Manual procedure Section 16-01.
Replace bearing if all of the above have been investigated and found acceptable. Customers also
should be advised that light pedal pressure may result in squeal at the onset of clutch engagement
with the free play type clutch linkage system.

loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Ensure that hubs where bearings mount are smooth. Check fit of differential gears in the
counterbores. Carefully examine thrust washers, which may be damaged when bearings are
removed. If differential bearing assemblies do not seat firmly on hubs, failure is certain. Ensure that
mating surfaces of the two parts of case and the face of the ring gear attaching flange are smooth
and free from nicks and burrs.

Differential Case: Adjustments
1. Attach ring gear to the differential case using new bolts. Torque bolts alternately and evenly to
50---60 ft. lbs. on except model 60 monobeam axle or 100-120 ft. lbs on model 60 monobeam axle.
2. Clean trunnions on the differential and install the master differential bearings on to differential
case. Remove all burrs and nicks from hubs so master bearings rotate freely.
3. Place differential case into carrier (without pinion). The differential case should move freely in the
carrier assembly. Position a suitable dial indicator against differential case flanges. Locate tip of the
indicator on the flat surface of one ring gear bolt. Force the differential case toward the dial
indicator as far as possible and zero dial indicator with force still applied. Dial indicator should have
a minimum of .200 inch travel. Force differential case away from the dial indicator as far as it will
go. Repeat this procedure until the same reading is obtained. Record dial indicator reading. This
reading indicates the amount of shims needed behind the differential side bearings to take up total
clearance between the differential bearing and case. This reading will be used during pinion and
ring gear backlash adjustment.
4. Remove differential case from the carrier. Do not remove the master differential bearings at this
time.

Differential Case: Service and Repair
For limited slip & locking differential assemblies, refer to ``Ford Drive Axle w/Integral Carrier''
section for assembly procedures. For adjustment procedures on these differentials, refer to step 9
in this procedure.
1. Install differential case in a vise, then apply suitable lubricant to side gear thrust washers and to
hubs and thrust face of the new side gears.
2. Assemble both side gears and apply suitable lubricant to the spherical washers and pinion mate
gears, then assemble pinion mate gears and washers.
3. Install both side gears and thrust washers, then the pinion mate gears and washers to hold side
gears in position.
4. Rotate side gears until holes of washers and pinion gears line up with holes of the case. If gears
cannot be rotated by hand, install one of the axle shafts into the side gear spline and use a pipe
wrench to turn shaft.
5. Line up gear holes with those of the differential case using a suitable drift, then install pinion
mate shaft. Ensure lock pin hole of shaft is lined up with lock pin hole of case.
6. Install lock pin, then peen metal of case over pin to lock in position. The semi-float shaft riding
bearing design uses a locking pin that is
installed using a suitable wrench. Use a new lock pin and assemble finger tight. This prevents
differential side gears and differential pinion mate gears from rotating in the case and dropping out
when servicing the carrier section. A new lock pin should be installed after assembling the axle
shafts.
7. Install ring gear to case, then the ring gear attaching screws. Torque ring gear attaching screws
alternately to approximately 115 ft. lbs. on except model 30 axle or 45---60 ft. lbs on model 30 axle.
8. Install differential bearings onto case using suitable tool.
9. Install differential case assembly into carrier, less pinion, then mount suitable dial indicator on
face of housing.
10. Locate tip of indicator on flat surface of one of the ring gear screw spot faces, then force
differential assembly as far as possible in the direction towards the indicator. With force still
applied, set indicator at zero.
11. Force differential assembly as far as it will go in the opposite direction. Repeat this step until
the same reading is obtained, then record this reading.
This reading will be the total amount of shims required, less preload, and will be calculated later
during assembly.
12. Remove indicator and differential assembly from housing. Do not remove bearings from
differential case at this time.

Fig. 4 Exploded view of 8.8 inch ring gear axles. Models w/anti-lock brakes
1. Remove axle cover, Figs. 1 through 4, then wipe lubricant from internal working parts and
visually inspect parts for wear or damage.
2. Rotate gears to check for any roughness, which indicates damaged bearings or gears.
3. Check ring gear teeth for signs of scoring, abnormal wear, nicks or chips.
4. On models with 8.8 or 10.25 inch ring gear, proceed as follows:
a. Using dial indicator, check ring gear backlash and ring gear back face runout. Backlash should
be .008---.015 inch and back face runout
should be under .004 inch.
b. Do not use contact pattern as a guide to check for noise. Check for proper gear set assembly
using pinion depth gauge tool to determine
correct pinion shim required to ensure acceptable running condition.
5. On models with 6 3/4 or 7 1/2 inch ring gear, test ring gear runout as follows:
a. Install suitable dial indicator and zero indicator, then rotate ring gear and record reading. b. If
reading exceeds .003 inch, check for improper torque of ring gear bolts or dirt between ring and
case.
6. If reading still exceeds .003 inch after step 5b, diagnose ring gear runout as follows:
a. Remove ring gear. 1987 Bronco II models with anti-lock brakes use an exciter ring located on
the ring gear assembly. Removal of the exciter
ring is not necessary when removing ring gear on this model.
b. On models with 6 3/4 inch ring gear, install left case on right and tap them together, then place
differential cups on differential bearing cone
and roller.
c. On all models, place differential assembly in carrier casting. On models with 6 3/4 inch ring gear,
two bolts and nuts must be installed to
hold case halves together.
d. Install .265 inch shim on left side as guide. e. Install left bearing cap and tighten bolts finger tight.
f.
Install progressively larger shims on right side until largest shim selected can be assembled with a
slight drag feel. Apply pressure toward left side to ensure that bearing cup is seated.
g. Install right side bearing cap and torque differential bearing cap bolts to 70---80 ft. lbs., then
rotate assembly to ensure free rotation. h. Check runout of differential case flange with dial
indicator. If runout is within .003 inch, install new ring and pinion gear. If runout exceeds
specifications, trouble is due to either a damaged case or worn bearings.
i. Remove differential case from carrier and the differential bearings from case.
j. Install new differential bearings on case hubs and install differential assembly in carrier less ring
gear.
k. Check case runout. If runout is within .003 inch, use new bearings for reassembly. If runout is
still excessive, case is damaged and must be
replaced.
7. Remove axle shafts.
8. Mark relationship of driveshaft end yoke and axle companion flange for proper assembly, then
disconnect driveshaft at rear axle universal joint.
9. Install inch pound torque wrench on pinion nut and record torque required to maintain rotation of
pinion through several turns.
10. Using suitable tools, hold companion flange and remove pinion nut.
11. Clean area around oil seal and place drain pan under seal.
12. Mark relationship of companion flange to pinion shaft for proper assembly, then, using suitable
puller, remove companion flange.
13. Using suitable tool, remove pinion oil seal.
14. Mark one differential bearing cap to ensure proper positioning of caps during assembly. Do not
interchange left and right bearing caps.
15. Loosen differential bearing cap bolts and bearing caps, noting direction of triangles on bearing
caps for proper assembly.
16. Pry differential case, bearing cups and shims out until they are loose in bearing caps, then
remove bearing caps and pry differential assembly from carrier. When using pry bar, place a wood
block between pry bar and axle housing to protect casting face from damage.
17. Using suitable mallet, drive pinion out of front bearing cone and remove through rear of carrier
casting.
18. Using suitable tools, remove pinion rear cone and roller bearing assembly, then, using
micrometer, measure and record thickness of shim found under bearing cone.
19. Remove damaged pinion bearing cups from carrier by tapping alternately with brass drift on
opposite sides of cups to prevent cups from cocking in casting.

Pinion Bearing: Testing and Inspection Companion Flange
Be sure that flat machined surfaces and the bearing cup sockets of the flange have not been
damaged in removing driveshaft or in removing flange from axle. The edge of the flange that
contacts the oil slinger or pinion front bearing must be smooth. Roughness aggravates backlash
noises and causes wear on the slinger with a resultant loss in drive pinion bearing preload. The
seal surface should be perfectly smooth or leakage will result.

Fig. 7 Drive pinion adjusting shim thickness chart th gauge tool selection, model 44 & 50 axles
Two separate adjustments affect drive pinion and ring gear tooth contact. They are pinion depth
(location) and backlash. The pinion locating shim pack is installed between the drive pinion inner
bearing cup and carrier housing. This shim pack and inner oil slinger and oil baffle, if equipped,
controls the position of the pinion. Adding shims moves the pinion toward the ring gear and
removing shims moves the pinion away from the ring gear. Ring gears and pinions are supplied in
matched sets with the standard or metric markings. On the button of each drive pinion is marked a
plus (+), a minus ( - ) or a zero (0). These markings indicate the position for each gear set. The
position is determined by the amount of shims between the inner pinion bearing cup and carrier
bearing bore. For example, if a new pinion is marked ``positive'' (+) +3 (+8-metric) and an old pinion
is marked ``0'', shims measuring (.003 inch) (.08 mm) must be removed between the drive pinion
and inner bearing cup and retainer. If the old ring and pinion shim is used, measure the slinger and
baffle and each shim separately and add each shim measurement to total the original
measurement. If slinger and oil baffle is not used, install drive pinion with the original shim pack and
check pinion location with a suitable depth gauge. If a new ring and pinion is being installed, note
the plus (+) minus ( - ) or zero (0) marking on the bottom of the pinion assembly. Add or subtract
shims, according to the chart to compensate for differences between the old and new pinion. A new
ring gear and drive pinion is always installed as a matched set and never separately. Ensure that
the same matching number appears on both the drive pinion and ring gear. Install the correct shim
pack of the drive pinion and place the pinion into the carrier, then check pinion depth. Refer to Fig.
7 for shim adjustment for pinion replacement and to ``Bearing Cup & Drive Pinion Installation'' to
complete procedure.
Drive Pinion Preload Check & Final Depth Check, FRONT DRIVE
1. Measure original preload shims and replace with new shims of equal size.
2. Install pinion into carrier.
3. Install new preload shims over pinion. Install outer pinion bearing cone and oil slinger. Assemble
end yoke, washer, deflector and slinger onto pinion shaft and align assembly. Install a new pinion
nut and torque to 200---220 ft. lbs. on except model 60 monobeam type axle or 240-300 ft. lbs. on
model 60 monobeam axle.
4. Rotate pinion nut with an inch-pound torque wrench. Rotating torque should be 20---40 inch lbs.
on except model 28 axle or 10 inch lbs. on model 28 axle. To increase preload, remove shims. To
decrease preload, add shims.
5. Install bearing caps and torque to 80---90 ft. lbs. on except model 28 axle or 35---40 ft. lbs. on
model 28 axle.
6. Install suitable final check gauge block onto top of the pinion button under the gauge tube. Place
thumb on the gauge block to ensure block is level.
7. Insert feeler gauges between gauge tube and final check gauge block until a slight drag is felt.
8. On except model 28 axles, the reading should be .020 inch added to the drive pinion etching,
which could be plus (+) or minus ( - ) with a tolerance of .002 inch. On model 28 axles (for
example), if original pinion is etched (+) 4 (m + 10), and the new pinion is etched ``0'', then a new
selective slinger is .004 inch thicker than the original selective oil slinger. If the original pinion is ``0''
and the new pinion is etched (+) 3 (m + 8), the new selective slinger should be .003 inch thinner
than the original slinger.
9. With drive pinion at the correct depth, remove yoke, washer and nut.
10. Coat oil seal with suitable lubricant. Install drive pinion oil seal. After installation, ensure garter

Backlash & Differential Bearing Preload Adjustment
1. Remove adjusting nut locks and loosen differential bearing cap bolts, then torque cap bolts to
approximately 20 ft. lbs. Left adjusting nut is on ring gear side of carrier and right adjusting nut is on
pinion side.
2. Loosen right nut until it is away from cup and tighten left nut until ring gear is just forced into
position with zero backlash, then rotate pinion several revolutions to ensure that no binding is
evident.
3. Check right nut to ensure that it is still loose, then install dial indicator.
4. Tighten right nut until it just contacts bearing cup, then set dial indicator to zero and apply
pressure to bearings by tightening right nut until indicator reads .008---.012 inch.
5. Turn pinion gear several times in each direction to seat bearings in cups and ensure that no
binding is evident, then torque bearing caps to 70---80 ft. lbs.
6. Measure backlash on several teeth around ring gear.
7. If backlash varies by more than .004 inch between any two teeth, loosen one adjusting nut and
tighten opposite nut an equal amount to move ring gear away from or toward pinion. Tightening left
nut moves ring gear into pinion to decrease backlash while tightening right nut moves ring gear
away. When moving adjusting nuts, final movement should always be made in a tightening
direction. Assuming left nut had to be loosened one notch, loosen nut two notches, then tighten
one notch.
8. Ensure that case spread remains within specifications as previously described.

Pinion Gear: Testing and Inspection
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Pinion Gear: Adjustments Drive Pinion Depth of Mesh Setting
Fig. 3 Shim setting chart
Ring gears and pinions are supplied in matched sets only. Matched numbers on both the pinion
and ring gear are etched for verification. On the face of each pinion there is etched either a plus or
a minus number, or ``0,'' which indicates the best running position for each particular gear set. This
dimension is controlled by shimming behind the inner pinion bearing cup. A pinion etched with a +3
would require .003 inch less shims that a pinion etched ``0.'' A pinion etched - 3 would require .003
inch more shims than a pinion etched ``0.'' If the etched figure is ``0'' the shim pack will remain the
same. Refer to chart, Fig. 3. Shims are available in thicknesses of .003 inch, .005 inch, .010 inch
and .030 inch.
If old ring and pinion set is to be reused, measure the old shim pack and build a new shim pack to
the same dimension. If a baffle is used in the axle assembly, it is considered a part of the shim
pack. Measure each shim separately with a micrometer and add together to get the total shim pack
thickness from the original build up.
If a new gear set is being used, notice the (+) or ( - ) etching on both the new and old pinion and
adjust thickness of new shim pack to compensate for the difference of these two figures. For
example, if the old pinion reads +2 and the new pinion is - 2, add .004 inch shims to the original
shim pack.

Note the 3/8 inch square drive in the handle to be used for obtaining the proper pinion bearing
preload.
b. Center the proper gauge tube into the differential bearing bore. Install bearing caps. To preload
the bearings, tighten handle to 20---40 inch
lbs.
c. Using a suitable feeler gauge tool or correct shims, select the thickest feeler shim that will enter
between the gauge tube and gauge block.
Insert feeler gauge or shims directly along the gauge block to ensure a correct reading. The feeler
gauge fit between the gauge tube and the gauge block should be a slight drag-type feeling.
d. After the correct shims or feeler gauge feel is obtained, check reading and this is the thickness of
shims required, providing that upon
inspection of the service pinion gear, there are no markings. If the service pinion gear is marked
with a plus (+) reading, this amount must be subtracted from the thickness dimension obtained
previously.
e. If the service pinion gear is marked with a minus ( - ) reading, this amount must be added to the
thickness dimension obtained previously. f.
Measure shims to verify the shim size. Place oil slinger, if equipped, onto pinion and press on the
bearing. If a baffle and/or slinger is used, replace with a new one upon assembly and measure as
part as the shim stack.
g. Continue to build the remaining components with proper pinion and differential bearing preload
torques and ring gear backlash.
3. On model 60 monobeam type axles proceed as follows:
a. Place a new inner pinion bearing over the proper aligning adapter and insert into pinion bearing
retainer assembly. Place outer pinion bearing
(new or used, if in satisfactory condition) into bearing cup and assemble tool handle onto the
screw. Hand tighten assembly. Note the 3/8 inch square drive in the tool handle to be used for
obtaining the proper pinion bearing preload. Torque to a 20-40 inch lb. preload.
b. Center proper gauge tube into the differential bearing bore. Install bearing caps and torque to
80-90 ft. lbs. c. Using a feeler gauge tool or shims, select the thickest feeler gauge or shim that will
enter between the gauge tube and block assembly. Insert
the feeler gauge directly along the gauge block to ensure a correct reading. The feeler gauge
should have a slight drag-type feel. Ensure shims or feeler gauge are free from dirt to ensure a
correct reading.
d. After the correct feeler gauge feel has been obtained, check the reading. Reading obtained
indicates the thickness of shims required
providing that, upon inspection of the service pinion gear, there are no markings. If the service
pinion gear is marked with a (+) plus reading, this amount must be subtracted from the thickness
dimension obtained in step c.
e. If the service pinion gear is marked with a (-) minus reading, this amount must be added to the
thickness dimension obtained in step c. In
addition, you must use the exact same new inner pinion bearing that was used in the previous
steps.
f. Remove inner pinion bearing cup and install the correct thickness of shims in the carrier bore.
Install the bearing cup and oil slinger, if equipped, onto pinion and press on the bearing assembly
with tool T53T-4621-C or equivalent. If a baffle or oil slinger is used, replace with a new one upon
assembly and measure as part of the shim stack.
g. After following these procedures, continue to assemble the remaining components with proper
pinion and differential bearing preload
torques and ring gear backlash.
Drive Pinion Installation, DANA/SPICER FRONT AXLE
Fig. 7 Drive pinion adjusting shim thickness chart th gauge tool selection, model 44 & 50 axles
Two separate adjustments affect drive pinion and ring gear tooth contact. They are pinion depth
(location) and backlash. The pinion locating shim pack is installed between the drive pinion inner
bearing cup and carrier housing. This shim pack and inner oil slinger and oil baffle, if equipped,
controls the position of the pinion. Adding shims moves the pinion toward the ring gear and
removing shims moves the pinion away from the ring gear. Ring gears and pinions are supplied in
matched sets with the standard or metric markings. On the button of each drive pinion is marked a
plus (+), a minus ( - ) or a zero (0). These markings indicate the position for each gear set. The
position is determined by the amount of shims between the inner pinion bearing cup and carrier
bearing bore. For example, if a new pinion is marked ``positive'' (+) +3 (+8-metric) and an old pinion
is marked ``0'', shims measuring (.003 inch) (.08 mm) must be removed between the drive pinion
and inner bearing cup and retainer. If the old ring and pinion shim is used, measure the slinger and
baffle and each shim separately and add each shim measurement to total the original
measurement. If slinger and oil baffle is not used, install drive pinion with the original shim pack and
check pinion location with a suitable depth gauge. If a new ring and pinion is being installed, note
the plus (+) minus ( - ) or zero (0) marking on the bottom of the pinion assembly. Add or subtract
shims, according to the chart to compensate for differences between the old and new pinion. A new
ring gear and drive pinion is always installed as a matched set and never separately. Ensure that
the same matching number appears on both the drive pinion and ring gear. Install the correct shim
pack of the drive pinion and place the pinion into the carrier, then check pinion depth. Refer to Fig.
7 for shim adjustment for pinion replacement and to ``Bearing Cup & Drive Pinion Installation'' to
complete procedure.

2. Install pinion into carrier.
3. Install new preload shims over pinion. Install outer pinion bearing cone and oil slinger. Assemble
end yoke, washer, deflector and slinger onto pinion shaft and align assembly. Install a new pinion
nut and torque to 200---220 ft. lbs. on except model 60 monobeam type axle or 240-300 ft. lbs. on
model 60 monobeam axle.
4. Rotate pinion nut with an inch-pound torque wrench. Rotating torque should be 20---40 inch lbs.
on except model 28 axle or 10 inch lbs. on model 28 axle. To increase preload, remove shims. To
decrease preload, add shims.
5. Install bearing caps and torque to 80---90 ft. lbs. on except model 28 axle or 35---40 ft. lbs. on
model 28 axle.
6. Install suitable final check gauge block onto top of the pinion button under the gauge tube. Place
thumb on the gauge block to ensure block is level.
7. Insert feeler gauges between gauge tube and final check gauge block until a slight drag is felt.
8. On except model 28 axles, the reading should be .020 inch added to the drive pinion etching,
which could be plus (+) or minus ( - ) with a tolerance of .002 inch. On model 28 axles (for
example), if original pinion is etched (+) 4 (m + 10), and the new pinion is etched ``0'', then a new
selective slinger is .004 inch thicker than the original selective oil slinger. If the original pinion is ``0''
and the new pinion is etched (+) 3 (m + 8), the new selective slinger should be .003 inch thinner
than the original slinger.
9. With drive pinion at the correct depth, remove yoke, washer and nut.
10. Coat oil seal with suitable lubricant. Install drive pinion oil seal. After installation, ensure garter
spring did not pop out. If garter spring pops out, remove and replace seal.
11. Install yoke. Install washer and nut. Tighten nut to 200---220 ft. lbs. on except model 60
monobeam axle or 240-300 ft. lbs on monobeam type axle.
Total Differential Case Endplay, Dana/Spicer, Front Drive
1. Attach ring gear to the differential case using new bolts. Torque bolts alternately and evenly to
50---60 ft. lbs. on except model 60 monobeam axle or 100-120 ft. lbs on model 60 monobeam axle.
2. Clean trunnions on the differential and install the master differential bearings on to differential
case. Remove all burrs and nicks from hubs so master bearings rotate freely.
3. Place differential case into carrier (without pinion). The differential case should move freely in the
carrier assembly. Position a suitable dial indicator against differential case flanges. Locate tip of the
indicator on the flat surface of one ring gear bolt. Force the differential case toward the dial
indicator as far as possible and zero dial indicator with force still applied. Dial indicator should have
a minimum of .200 inch travel. Force differential case away from the dial indicator as far as it will
go. Repeat this procedure until the same reading is obtained. Record dial indicator reading. This
reading indicates the amount of shims needed behind the differential side bearings to take up total

If any of the gauge surfaces become nicked, the high spots should be removed using an oil stone.
1. Install a new rear pinion bearing over a suitable aligning adapter, then position into the pinion
bearing retainer assembly.
2. Place front of pinion bearing into the bearing cup, then assemble the handle onto the screw and
hand tighten. The square drive in the handle of the tool is to be used for obtaining the proper pinion
bearing preload. Set preload to 20---40 inch lbs.
3. Center suitable gauge tube into the differential bearing bore, then install the differential bearing
caps.
4. Using a feeler gauge tool or shims, select the thickest shim that will enter between the gauge
tube and gauge block. Insert feeler gauge directly along the gauge block to ensure a correct
reading. If the service pinion gear is marked with a plus (+) reading, this amount should be
subtracted from the thickness dimension obtained in step 4. If the service pinion gear is marked
with a minus ( - ) reading, this amount should be added to the thickness dimension obtained in step
4.
5. Remove inner pinion bearing cup and install the correct number of shims in the carrier bore.
6. Install bearing cup and oil slinger, if equipped, on the pinion, then press on bearing using a
suitable tool. If a baffle or slinger is used, replace with a new one during assembly.
Drive Pinion Depth of Mesh Setting, Dana/Spicer, Rear Axle
Fig. 3 Shim setting chart
Ring gears and pinions are supplied in matched sets only. Matched numbers on both the pinion
and ring gear are etched for verification. On the face of each pinion there is etched either a plus or
a minus number, or ``0,'' which indicates the best running position for each particular gear set. This
dimension is controlled by shimming behind the inner pinion bearing cup. A pinion etched with a +3
would require .003 inch less shims that a pinion etched ``0.'' A pinion etched - 3 would require .003
inch more shims than a pinion etched ``0.'' If the etched figure is ``0'' the shim pack will remain the
same. Refer to chart, Fig. 3. Shims are available in thicknesses of .003 inch, .005 inch, .010 inch
and .030 inch.
If old ring and pinion set is to be reused, measure the old shim pack and build a new shim pack to
the same dimension. If a baffle is used in the axle assembly, it is considered a part of the shim
pack. Measure each shim separately with a micrometer and add together to get the total shim pack
thickness from the original build up.
If a new gear set is being used, notice the (+) or ( - ) etching on both the new and old pinion and
adjust thickness of new shim pack to compensate for the difference of these two figures. For
example, if the old pinion reads +2 and the new pinion is - 2, add .004 inch shims to the original
shim pack.

approximately 20 ft. lbs. Left adjusting nut is on ring gear side of carrier and right adjusting nut is on
pinion side.
2. Loosen right nut until it is away from cup and tighten left nut until ring gear is just forced into
position with zero backlash, then rotate pinion several revolutions to ensure that no binding is
evident.
3. Check right nut to ensure that it is still loose, then install dial indicator.
4. Tighten right nut until it just contacts bearing cup, then set dial indicator to zero and apply
pressure to bearings by tightening right nut until indicator reads .008---.012 inch.
5. Turn pinion gear several times in each direction to seat bearings in cups and ensure that no
binding is evident, then torque bearing caps to 70---80 ft. lbs.
6. Measure backlash on several teeth around ring gear.
7. If backlash varies by more than .004 inch between any two teeth, loosen one adjusting nut and
tighten opposite nut an equal amount to move ring gear away from or toward pinion. Tightening left
nut moves ring gear into pinion to decrease backlash while tightening right nut moves ring gear
away. When moving adjusting nuts, final movement should always be made in a tightening
direction. Assuming left nut had to be loosened one notch, loosen nut two notches, then tighten
one notch.
8. Ensure that case spread remains within specifications as previously described.
9. Perform teeth pattern check as described under ``General Axle Service.'' If backlash is correct
and gross pattern error results, recheck pinion shim selection.

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection Gears
Examine drive pinion and ring gear teeth for scoring or signs of excessive wear. Worn gears cannot
be rebuilt to correct a noisy condition. Gear scoring and flaking are the result of excessive shock
loading or the use of improper lubricant. Scored gears cannot be reused.
Examine teeth and thrust surfaces of differential gears. Wear on hub of differential side gears may
cause a chucking noise known as chuckle, when the vehicle is operated at low speeds. Wear of
splines, thrust surfaces or thrust washers may contribute to excessive drive line backlash.

Ring Gear: Testing and Inspection Runout
1987 models equipped with anti-lock brakes incorporate a multi-tooth exciter ring which is pressed
on the differential case located behind the ring gear assembly. Do not remove exciter ring to
measure ring gear runout. A space is provided between the exciter ring and ring gear to measure
ring gear runout.
If ring gear runout during disassembly exceeded specifications, the condition may be caused by a
warped gear, or distorted or damaged case or foreign matter trapped between differential case
halves or under ring gears.
To determine cause of excessive runout, assemble differential case without ring gear, then check
as described below.
Install case in differential carrier without ring gear attached. Install bearing caps and adjuster nuts
and tighten cap bolts to specifications. Tighten adjuster nuts to center differential side bearing.
Mount a dial indicator and check runout of case flange and ring gear pilot. If runout at either point is
excessive, install a new differential case. If runout is within specification, the ring gear is out of
specification. When performing this check on a locking differential case the four compression
springs within the case should be temporarily removed. This will prevent a false runout reading due
to distortion caused by the springs forcing the case apart.

Operation on vehicles in off-road, severe environments may result in the one-piece design spindle
seal and the spindle needle bearing seal allowing water and contaminants to get into the spindle
needle bearings. This causes premature seal and bearing wear.
The following service action is suggested for installation of the previous style sealing system ("V"
ring/"V" block seals and spacer/thrustwasher). This is similar to the sealing system on the model
501FS used on F350 4x4's.

This article is being republished in its entirety to clarify the slip yoke application chart.
ISSUE: A "clunk" or "grunt" noise from the vehicle driveline during start-up and stopping drive
modes may be caused by engine torque preventing the slip yoke from sliding smoothly on the
transmission output shaft splines. During the same drive modes, rear suspension wrap-up
overcomes slip yoke-to-output shaft friction causing sudden slip yoke/driveshaft movement, which
results in a "clunk" or "grunt" noise. The affected vehicles are 1978-87 E-250/350 with a C6
transmission; 1981-87 F-150/350 (4x2) with a C6, NPG 435, AOD, TOD, or T18 transmission;

and 1986-87 Aerostar.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new design slip yoke with nickel-plated splines to allow for
smooth slip yoke movement. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual, Section 15-60 for slip yoke
removal and installation procedures. Also, refer to the slip yoke application chart below for the

New Process Gear Model 208 Transfer Cases on the above vehicles built after January 19, 1982
have a new range fork and annulus gear assembly design.
The annulus gear hub and web assembly (7B066) can be damaged when the transfer case is
operated with low lube fluid levels or with a rough surface finish fork or thrust washer. This will
result in transfer case shifting difficulties. The damaged nylon hub will appear to be melted or
severely scored and must be replaced. The range fork (7289) and thrust washer (7D484) must also
be replaced since surface finish damage or sharp edges created during the prior condition can
cause accelerated wear of the new hub and web assembly and result in a repeat service. The
transfer case should be refilled with 7 pints of new automatic transmission fluid lube (XT-2-QDX)
and checked for any leaks. With the vehicle in a level position, the lube fluid must be up to fill plug
opening.

2. Place U-joint in a vise.
3. Select a wrench socket with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the U-joint bearings. Select
another wrench socket with an inside diameter slightly larger than the U-joint bearings.
4. Place the sockets at opposite bearings in the yoke so that the smaller socket becomes a bearing
pusher and the larger socket becomes a bearing receiver when the vise jaws come together, Fig.
5. Close vise jaws until both bearings are free of yoke and remove bearings from the cross or
spider.
5. If bearings will not come all the way out, close vise until bearing in receiver socket protrudes
from yoke as much as possible without using excessive force. Then remove from vise and place
that portion of bearing which protrudes from yoke between vise jaws. Tighten vise to hold bearing
and drive yoke off with a soft hammer.
6. To remove opposite bearing from yoke, replace in vise with pusher socket on exposed cross
journal with receiver socket over bearing cup. Then tighten vise jaws to press bearing back through
yoke into receiving socket.
7. Remove yoke from drive shaft and again place protruding portion of bearing between vise jaws.
Then tighten vise to hold bearing while driving yoke off bearing with soft hammer.
8. Turn spider or cross 1/4 turn and use the same procedure to press bearings out of drive shaft.

over-lubrication may damage seals during reassembly. Use new seals.
2. If new parts are being installed, check new bearings for adequate grease before assembling.
3. With the pusher (smaller) socket, press one bearing part way into drive shaft. Position spider into
the partially installed bearing. Place second bearing into drive shaft. Fasten drive shaft in vise so
that bearings are in contact with faces of vise jaws, Fig. 6. Some spiders are provided with locating
lugs which must face toward drive shaft when installed.
4. Press bearings all the way into position and install snap rings or retainer plates.
5. Install bearings in yoke in same manner. When installation is completed, check U-joint for
binding or roughness. If free movement is impeded, correct the condition before installation in
vehicle.

Excessive shift lever fore-aft shake or looseness may result from looseness in the shift lever
isolator or between the lever and shift fork gate. The condition may also be caused by a warped
fork "chattering" in the synchronizer groove.
RECOMMENDED DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE PROCEDURE:
A) Lever Inspection
1. Remove the cover for access to the shift lever assembly cap.
2. Remove and examine the shift lever.
a. Check the shift lever itself for excessive looseness. (The shift lever assembly should be a solid
unit allowing NO movement.)
b. Check for an improperly machined pivot ball or lower pivot which might aid shift lever looseness.
c. Check the shift lever positioning pin (trunnion) installation.
d. Re-assemble and torque the shift lever cap to cap to 8-15 ft.-lbs. If these actions do not resolve
the looseness, continue with Step B, which will require the removal of the transmission top cover.
This can be done without removing the transmission assembly from the vehicle by removing the
transmission access floor plate.
B) Transmission Top Cover Inspection
1. Check for excessive (greater than .010") fore/ aft movement in the 3/4 shift rail while the shift
lever is in the 3rd or 4th gear position.
Figure 23
2. Verify the shift lever gate fore/aft dimension on the 3/4 shift fork (.564/.560 in.) (Figure 23).

1. Remove the shift ball from the shift lever assembly by removing the plastic shift pattern insert
from the shift ball. Knock the ball off the lever with a block of wood and a hammer.
2. Inspect the lower cavity of the shift ball for broken or missing sections. Discard the ball if broken
or missing pieces are noted. (Retain the plastic shift pattern insert).
3. On T-19 transmission inspect the knurled end of the
shift lever for undersize/oversize knurling by measuring the knurled diameter. The knurled diameter
should be between 37/64" and 19/32" in diameter. 4.
If the diameter of the knurled section is less than the specified 37/64" minimum, then the shift lever
should be replaced with a new one with good knurls. Also install a new shift ball with the new lever.
Figure 17
5. If the knurled diameter is within the specified diameter, replace the shift ball (7213) only, using
the original shift lever and shift ball insert.
NOTE: Before installing the shift ball on the transmission shift lever and, using a machinist file or
suitable hand grinder, file or grind a radius

1. Remove the shift ball from the shift lever assembly by removing the plastic shift pattern insert
from the shift ball. Knock the ball off the lever with a block of wood and a hammer.
2. Inspect the lower cavity of the shift ball for broken or missing sections. Discard the ball if broken
or missing pieces are noted. (Retain the plastic shift pattern insert).
3. On T-19 transmission inspect the knurled end of the
shift lever for undersize/oversize knurling by measuring the knurled diameter. The knurled diameter
should be between 37/64" and 19/32" in diameter. 4.
If the diameter of the knurled section is less than the specified 37/64" minimum, then the shift lever
should be replaced with a new one with good knurls. Also install a new shift ball with the new lever.
Figure 17
5. If the knurled diameter is within the specified diameter, replace the shift ball (7213) only, using
the original shift lever and shift ball insert.
NOTE: Before installing the shift ball on the transmission shift lever and, using a machinist file or
suitable hand grinder, file or grind a radius

6. Install the shift lever ball by warming the ball with a heat gun to 140~ - 180~ and tapping the ball
onto the shift lever with a 7/16" socket and a rubber hammer or mallet. Tap the ball down to the
beginning of the taper below the knurled section as shown in Figure 17, View A. Install the shift pattern

design. This mismatching of parts results in either incomplete engagement or disengagement
causing an interference or "ratcheting" condition. To eliminate objectionable "ratcheting" noise in
the transfer case on any 1983 F-150/250 4x4, or Bronco vehicle built after February 1, 1983 or any

Loss of road speed, hesitation, or engine stall on the subject vehicles operated at ambient
temperatures over 85~F or at elevations over 4,500 feet, may be the result of fuel vaporization. A
modification kit is available for vehicles experiencing this condition. It consists of an in-tank fuel
pump, inertia shut-off switch, motorized fuel selector valve, vapor separator, and a vapor return
system, along with related fuel lines and electrical wiring and devices.
Before this modification is considered, other factors that could result in the same symptoms should
be evaluated. Some of these include:
^ Plugged fuel filter at carburetor or tank.
^ Restricted fuel line.
^ Contaminated or low quality fuel.
^ Malfunctioning fuel pump or carburetor.
If it is determined that the above factors have not caused the customer concern then the
appropriate modification kit should be used to change the fuel system.
Hardware Required:
Components required to modify the vehicle differ with vehicle series, engine model and type of fuel
tank. These have been packaged into 13 different kits. The chart that follows describes the specific
kits that are required for the various vehicle configurations.

Bleed primary and secondary hydraulic brake systems separately, bleeding longest line first on
each system. Do not allow reservoir to run dry during bleeding operation. Never reuse fluid that has
been drained from hydraulic system.
1. Loosen master cylinder to hydraulic line nuts and wrap shop cloths around tubing below fitting to
absorb escaping brake fluid.
2. Depress brake pedal slowly by hand to floor of cab, forcing air trapped in master cylinder out at
fitting.
3. Hold pedal down and tighten fittings, then release brake pedal. Releasing brake pedal before
fittings are tightened will allow air to enter the master cylinder.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until air ceases to escape at fittings and brake pedal is firm.
5. Bleed rear brakes as follows:
a. Pump pedal several times, then hold pedal down firmly. b. With pedal firmly depressed, open
bleeder screw on one rear brake until pedal fades to floor, then close bleeder valve. c. Repeat
procedure until a continuous flow of brake fluid is released from bleeder valve. d. Repeat steps 5a
through 5c on other rear brake.
6. Bleed front brakes using same procedure as for rear brakes.
7. Fill master cylinder reservoirs to {1/4} inch from top of reservoirs.
8. Centralize the pressure differential control valve, if applicable, as follows:
a. Turn ignition switch to ``ACC'' or ``On'' position. b. Push brake pedal down, allowing piston to
center itself, turning off warning light. c. Turn ignition switch to ``OFF'' position.
9. Check brake operation and ensure pedal is firm, then road test vehicle.

3. Remove the pads. Hold the inner pad and outer pad against each other as shown in Figure 3.
Check to see if the wear surfaces are parallel to the pad back surfaces. If the pads have an angled
wear, this may indicate that a pad was mispositioned and/or was not sliding properly on the caliper
rail.
NOTE:
PADS WITH AN ANGLED WEAR PATTERN REQUIRE EXCESSIVE CALIPER MOVEMENT TO
SEAT THE PADS TO THE ROTOR. THIS EXTRA MOVEMENT REQUIRES EXTRA FLUID
VOLUME, RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL PEDAL TRAVEL, SIMILAR TO MISADJUSTED REAR
BRAKES.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

If the subject vehicles are experiencing a brake squeal concern, they should be serviced by
installing insulator pads. Information in TSB 85-3-10 should not be used, this new service action
supersedes the previous article with updated information.
The following procedures and precautions should be observed when servicing front brake squeal
concerns.
^ Remove the caliper and clean the sliding surfaces with a wire brush. Apply a light coating of
ESAM1C172-A(D7AZ-19590-A) lubricant to both surfaces. Be careful not to get lube on rotors or
linings. Wipe any excess lube off after assembly. Visually inspect rotors for any obvious damage or
scoring.
^ Check the front wheel bearing end play adjustment. Adjust the front wheel bearings using the
procedures included in the Light Truck Shop Manual, Sections 11-10 and 11-12.
NOTE: The disc brake caliper and pads must be removed from the spindle prior to adjusting the
front wheel bearings.
^ Clean lining and rotor surfaces. Remove any uneven glaze buildup on lining and rotor braking
surfaces by sanding with medium to fine sandpaper or emery cloth. Uniform rotor sanding can be
accomplished by holding the paper against the rotor braking surface while manually turning the
rotor.
^ Remove any loose insulator material from the pad backing plates with sandpaper or an

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

3. Remove the pads. Hold the inner pad and outer pad against each other as shown in Figure 3.
Check to see if the wear surfaces are parallel to the pad back surfaces. If the pads have an angled
wear, this may indicate that a pad was mispositioned and/or was not sliding properly on the caliper
rail.
NOTE:
PADS WITH AN ANGLED WEAR PATTERN REQUIRE EXCESSIVE CALIPER MOVEMENT TO
SEAT THE PADS TO THE ROTOR. THIS EXTRA MOVEMENT REQUIRES EXTRA FLUID
VOLUME, RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL PEDAL TRAVEL, SIMILAR TO MISADJUSTED REAR
BRAKES.

If the subject vehicles are experiencing a brake squeal concern, they should be serviced by
installing insulator pads. Information in TSB 85-3-10 should not be used, this new service action
supersedes the previous article with updated information.
The following procedures and precautions should be observed when servicing front brake squeal
concerns.
^ Remove the caliper and clean the sliding surfaces with a wire brush. Apply a light coating of
ESAM1C172-A(D7AZ-19590-A) lubricant to both surfaces. Be careful not to get lube on rotors or
linings. Wipe any excess lube off after assembly. Visually inspect rotors for any obvious damage or
scoring.
^ Check the front wheel bearing end play adjustment. Adjust the front wheel bearings using the
procedures included in the Light Truck Shop Manual, Sections 11-10 and 11-12.
NOTE: The disc brake caliper and pads must be removed from the spindle prior to adjusting the
front wheel bearings.
^ Clean lining and rotor surfaces. Remove any uneven glaze buildup on lining and rotor braking
surfaces by sanding with medium to fine sandpaper or emery cloth. Uniform rotor sanding can be
accomplished by holding the paper against the rotor braking surface while manually turning the
rotor.
^ Remove any loose insulator material from the pad backing plates with sandpaper or an
appropriate solvent.
This procedure applies only to the following models: 1980-86 E100/150, F100/150, Bronco, F250
4x2 under 6900 lbs. GVW (single piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-A) to the backing plate of the OUTBOARD pad and
lining assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the back side of the brake pad
assembly with ESA-M1C140-A1 (D7AZ-19554-C) adhesive. Apply adhesive to the light color side
of each insulator. Assure that insulator is centered on backing plate and that directions for applying
adhesive are followed.
This procedure is for 1980-86 F250 4x2 over 6900 lbs. GVW, F250 4x4, F350, E250/350 (dual
piston calipers).
^ Install the service insulator (E1TZ-2B321-B) to the back side of the INBOARD pad and lining
assembly (both L.H. and R.H. brake). Bond the insulator to the backing plate and lining assembly
using the previously listed procedure.
^ Install the service shim (E6TZ-2B321-A) to the back side of the outboard pad and lining assembly
(both L.H. and R.H. brake) by clipping the shim over the straight edge of the backing plate. Be sure
the shim is fully seated and centered on the straight edge of the backing plate.
NOTE: For dual piston caliper application only.
^ Reinstall caliper to the spindle assembly.
NOTE: DO NOT replace linings unless required for wear or additional concerns (Shop Manual,
Section 12-24).

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

Gear "banging" type noise during braking can be caused by rear wheel brake shudder "shaking"
the transmission/transfer case even if it is not felt by the driver. The brake shudder may be caused
by the rear wheels warping the brake drum. For F150 and Bronco with styled wheels, refer to
TSB-82-10-15. For F250/350 with standard wheels, refer to TSB 83-7-19. Transmission or transfer

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

3. Remove the pads. Hold the inner pad and outer pad against each other as shown in Figure 3.
Check to see if the wear surfaces are parallel to the pad back surfaces. If the pads have an angled
wear, this may indicate that a pad was mispositioned and/or was not sliding properly on the caliper
rail.
NOTE:
PADS WITH AN ANGLED WEAR PATTERN REQUIRE EXCESSIVE CALIPER MOVEMENT TO
SEAT THE PADS TO THE ROTOR. THIS EXTRA MOVEMENT REQUIRES EXTRA FLUID
VOLUME, RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL PEDAL TRAVEL, SIMILAR TO MISADJUSTED REAR

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

3. Remove the pads. Hold the inner pad and outer pad against each other as shown in Figure 3.
Check to see if the wear surfaces are parallel to the pad back surfaces. If the pads have an angled
wear, this may indicate that a pad was mispositioned and/or was not sliding properly on the caliper
rail.
NOTE:
PADS WITH AN ANGLED WEAR PATTERN REQUIRE EXCESSIVE CALIPER MOVEMENT TO
SEAT THE PADS TO THE ROTOR. THIS EXTRA MOVEMENT REQUIRES EXTRA FLUID
VOLUME, RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL PEDAL TRAVEL, SIMILAR TO MISADJUSTED REAR
BRAKES.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
EXCEPT AEROSTAR, BRONCO II & 1983---87 RANGER These vehicles use a pressure
differential valve, a metering valve (1980---84) and a proportioning valve which are combined in a
single unit. These valves sense unbalanced pressure between front and rear brakes. Loss of
pressure in either the primary or secondary brake system causes pressure differential valve to
move off center and illuminate brake warning light. After system is replaced and brakes are bled,
the valve centers itself, turning off warning light. The brake warning light switch is mounted on top of
the valve body casting above the pressure differential valve tapered shoulder groove. When the
valve is centered, spring loaded switch plunger fits into the tapered shoulder groove. The switch
contacts are open, interrupting electrical continuity to the brake warning light on the instrument
panel. The metering valve is located in the front end of the control valve housing between the front
brake system inlet port and the right and left front brake outlet ports. This valve regulates hydraulic
fluid pressure to the front disc brakes. The proportioning valve used on some models is located at
the bottom of the housing between the rear brake system inlet and outlet ports. This valve regulates
rear brake system hydraulic pressure. A plug and tube seat is pressed into the rear end of the
central bore. A hole through the center of the plug and tube seal directs hydraulic fluid from the
valve to the rear brake system outlet port.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
The single and tandem vacuum boosters are self contained vacuum hydraulic power braking units.
These are vacuum suspended units that use vacuum and atmospheric pressure for their power. On
gasoline engine vehicles, vacuum is supplied through a fitting in the intake manifold. On diesel
engine vehicles, vacuum is supplied through a vacuum pump. The three basic elements of the
booster are the vacuum power chamber, mechanically actuated booster check valve and a
hydraulic dual master cylinder which supplies hydraulic pressure to the brake system. The vacuum
power chamber consists of a front and rear shell, diaphragm, diaphragm plate, hydraulic pushrod
and vacuum diaphragm return spring. The mechanically actuated booster check valve controls the
degree of power brake application in accordance with foot pressure applied to the valve operating
rod through the brake pedal linkage. This valve is integral with the vacuum power diaphragm.

MEDIUM/HEAVY TRUCKS ALL
During a recent dealer survey, it was discovered that some technicians are using digital meters for
alternator testing, despite specific instructions in the Shop Manual to the contrary. The digital
meters cannot be used for checking rectifier assemblies or diodes in the alternator. This may
explain a portion of non-defective rectifiers returned under warranty.
Alternator Rectifier Testing Information
The use of digital meters when bench testing an alternator rectifier assembly can cause
misdiagnosis. It is recommended in the Shop Manual (Section 31) that a Rotunda Meter Model
#059-00003, or equivalent, be used. Equivalent test meters must be of the "analog" type, not
digital. A digital meter could only be used if it has a diode checking function. However, the readings
should be compared with those of a new part to confirm the results.
If the rectifier is found to be okay, check for possible pinched or grounded wires to the inside of the
housing. Then reassemble the alternator with the tested rectifier. The Shop Manual Charging
System Diagnostic Procedure should be reviewed to confirm proper procedures were used.
Remember to first check for proper drive belt tension and proper wire connections at the alternator
and voltage regulator.

terminals of the alternator. A reading in both directions indicates either a bad negative diode, a
grounded stator winding, a grounded stator terminal, a grounded positive diode plate, or a
grounded BAT terminal. Infinite readings (no needle movement) in all four probe positions in the
preceding tests indicates an open STA terminal lead connection inside the alternator.

Clutch Pedal Position Switch: Testing and Inspection
Manual Transmission Vehicles Only This switch functions magnetically. Do not use magnetized
tools near this switch.
1. If the switch is open when the clutch pedal is released, speed control will not operate. This must
be corrected before making any other tests. Use only a multimeter of 5000 ohm/volt rating or higher
when performing the clutch switch test.
2. Disconnect switch pigtail connector from speed control harness connector and connect an
ohmmeter to the two switch connector terminals.
3. With clutch pedal in the fully released position, the resistance should be less than 5 ohms. With
clutch pedal fully depressed, the circuit should be open.
4. If switch does not function as described, remove and replace switch.

Ignition Resistor: Description and Operation
The ballast resistor, (wire type), maintains a specific resistance between the positive (Batt.)
terminal of the ignition coil connector and the wiring harness connector. It is not in operation during
engine cranking enabling the coil to receive a hotter signal for starting. Once the engine is running,
the resistor is used to protect the coil from voltage overload.

Ignition Resistor: Testing and Inspection
1. Disconnect module connector with red and white wires then, ignition coil connector.
2. Using a suitable ohmmeter, measure resistance between Batt. terminal of ignition coil connector
and wiring harness connector wire that joins red wire in module connector.
3. If resistance is 0.8---1.6 ohms, ballast resistor is satisfactory. If resistance is less than 0.8 ohms
or greater than 1.6 ohms, replace ballast resistor.

Circuit Breaker: Testing and Inspection
BRONCO & F-100---350 SERIES The circuit breaker is located in the wiper control switch on all
rotary switches. For slide wiper control switches, the circuit breaker is located in the fuse panel. All
pin terminal switches have a circuit breaker rating of 8 {1/4} amps. All blade terminal switches have
a rating of 7 amps. Two separate tests are necessary to check for correct circuit breaker operation
when circuit breaker is part of wiper switch.
Fig. 3 Testing circuit breaker. Bronco & F-100---350 Series
Test 1
1. Short tester leads together and adjust current draw until it equals circuit breaker rating.
2. Connect switch to tester, Fig. 3.
3. Leave switch connected to tester for 10 minutes, holding current reading on multimeter at rated
current. If circuit breaker opens, replace wiper switch assembly.
Test 2
1. Short tester leads together and adjust current draw until it equals circuit breaker rating.
2. Connect switch to tester, Fig. 3.
3. Hold current reading on multimeter at twice the rated current of circuit breaker. If it takes more
than 30 seconds for tester reading to drop to zero, replace wiper switch assembly.

Circuit Breaker: Testing and Inspection
BRONCO & F-100---350 SERIES The circuit breaker is located in the wiper control switch on all
rotary switches. For slide wiper control switches, the circuit breaker is located in the fuse panel. All
pin terminal switches have a circuit breaker rating of 8 {1/4} amps. All blade terminal switches have
a rating of 7 amps. Two separate tests are necessary to check for correct circuit breaker operation
when circuit breaker is part of wiper switch.
Fig. 3 Testing circuit breaker. Bronco & F-100---350 Series
Test 1
1. Short tester leads together and adjust current draw until it equals circuit breaker rating.
2. Connect switch to tester, Fig. 3.
3. Leave switch connected to tester for 10 minutes, holding current reading on multimeter at rated
current. If circuit breaker opens, replace wiper switch assembly.
Test 2
1. Short tester leads together and adjust current draw until it equals circuit breaker rating.
2. Connect switch to tester, Fig. 3.
3. Hold current reading on multimeter at twice the rated current of circuit breaker. If it takes more
than 30 seconds for tester reading to drop to zero, replace wiper switch assembly.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

the slot in the template, see Figure 16. De-burr the surface; avoid rounding the edges of the slot.
Figure 13 - Article 87-4-16
4. Use a No. 6 drill to make a .204 inch diameter through hole at the punch mark. Line up the
caster adjuster plate on the radius arm to obtain the required change in caster, see Figure 13.
Figure 17 - Article 87-4-16
NOTE: Each hole changes caster approximately 1/2 degree + or - from the "0" index hole.
5. Install the tap screw to 120 in.lbs. (13 N-m) torque.
6. Reinstall radius arm with a new bracket (front axle to radius arm). The new bracket has a larger
"jaw" spacing to fit over caster adjuster plate.

STEERING - DRIFT/PULL CASTER SPLIT ADJUSTMENT
LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F250-350 4x2; 1976-86 E100-350
A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.
Figure 8 - POSITIONING TEMPLATE TO LOWER FLANGE OF RADIUS ARM
2. Locate the template (3B474) on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Refer to Figure 8 for a
typical arm modification for the right hand radius arm. One template per vehicle model is used to

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.
Figure 7 - Radius Arm
Figure 8 - Radius Arm
2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the

contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot.
4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the cam with the
1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied.
Figure 9
5. Figure 9 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for F-150 4x2 for example will be obtained
by mounting the cam with the self-tapping screw in
the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.

1. TSB No. 82-10-18 provides a 1/2 degree adjustment per side to correct a caster split of 1
degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.
Figure 14 - Article 87-4-16
2. Locate the template, included in the kit, on the bottom flange of radius arm over the existing
holes, as shown in Figure 14.
NOTE: Right arm adjustment is shown. One template is used to modify both right and left hand
arms. When modifying right arm, position template with printed side down (printed side up for left
arm).

A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.

degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure 1.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for service details. See the
following caster adjuster sleeve chart and camber adjuster sleeve chart for the correct service
parts.

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

A side-to-side front wheel caster difference greater than 3/4 degree can contribute to a vehicle drift
or pull in the direction of the side with less caster. The service kit (E5TZ-3K064-A) can be used to
increase the front wheel caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split to correct
a vehicle drift/pull concern. The kit contains complete parts and instructions needed to modify the
front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom flange of the radius arm. The kit can
increase caster from 1/2 degree to 3 degrees, in 1/2 degree increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles and/or to balance a caster split, the
following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove the radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Reference Shop
Manual and choose the appropriate paper template applicable to the vehicle model.

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.

2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to correct the service parts for the Caster
Adjusters.
ISSUE: Two new alignment adjusters are now available for service. These new parts provide one
degree of caster adjustment along with one degree of camber. Steering pull may be caused by
caster split. The affected trucks are 4x4 Twin Traction Beam vehicles.
ACTION: Use the following procedure to determine the position of the service adjuster sleeve.
Refer to the appropriate Light Truck Shop Manual, Section 14-21 for installation details.
The new alignment adjusters are similiar to the current camber adjusters. The one exception is the
rotational position of the adjuster sleeve to obtain the desired adjustment.
ADJUSTER SLEEVE APPLICATION FOR RANGER BRONCO II, BRONCO, AND F-150
1. Measure and record the alignment readings.
2. Determine what alignment adjuster sleeves are on the truck.
NOTE: IF AFTERMARKET ADJUSTER SLEEVES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, IT WILL BE
NECESSARY TO FIND OUT WHAT CASTER AND CAMBER SLEEVES WERE USED.
If the adjuster sleeve is not marked or cannot be identified, install a 0 degree adjuster sleeve to use
as a reference point.
3. Determine what adjuster sleeve change is required. Take your desired alignment (what you want
to end up with) and compare it to the readings taken in Step 1 to determine the change.
4. Pick the adjuster sleeve that will get you the closest to the desired alignment.
5. Install and position the adjuster sleeve, Figure

LIGHT TRUCK 1980-86 F-150 (4x4), BRONCO ISSUE:
A steering drift or pull may be caused by excessive front wheel side-to-side caster angle
differences.
ACTION: If a front axle alignment check shows excessive (more than 3/4 degree split) side-to-side
caster angle difference causing the vehicle to drift or pull, install a new caster adjustment kit
(E0TZ-3K064-A) which allows the front axle side-to-side caster angles to be changed up to 2-1/2
degrees in 1/2 degree increments. New front axle to radius arm brackets must also be replaced
when the caster kit is installed. Refer to the following service procedure for step-by-step
instructions.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE DOING WORK ON THE VEHICLE.
To correct caster side-to-side difference of up to 1- 1/2 degrees, install a caster adjuster plate on
the radius arm that has the lower caster reading. Adjuster plates are identified R.H. and L.H.
To correct caster side-to-side difference more than 1-1/2 degrees, install the caster plate on both
radius arms. Installing both plates will allow a caster split change of 2-1/2 degrees (+1-1/2 degrees
on the low caster side, -1 degree on the high caster side).
1. Remove radius arm from vehicle.

A side-to-side caster difference can contribute to a vehicle drift in the direction of the side with less
caster. If the difference cannot be corrected by Shop Manual procedures (greater than 3/4~
difference), a service kit (for use on vehicles with forged axles) can be used to increase front wheel
caster angle on either or both wheels to balance the caster split. The kit contains complete parts
and instructions needed to modify the front radius arm and mount a metal cam on the bottom of the
arm. The kit can increase caster from 1/2~ to 3 degrees, in 1/2~ increments. It is not designed to
decrease caster. Vehicles with stamped axles cannot utilize the caster kit, but can be serviced with
a different procedure.
To increase front wheel caster angle of subject vehicles with forged front axles to balance the
caster split, the following procedure is suggested:
1. Remove radius arm from the vehicle as shown in Section 14-21 of the Shop Manual and choose
appropriate paper template contained in the service kit and identified by vehicle model.

2. Locate the template on the bottom flange of the radius arm. Figures 7 and 8 show a typical arm
modification for the F150 4x2 right hand arm. One template per vehicle model is used to modify
both the right and left hand arms. When modifying the right hand arm, position the template with
the printed side downward. The F Series template locates off of one of two existing holes in the
arm. The Ranger template is shaped to match the contour of the edges of the arm.
3. With template secure, make a punch mark at the center of the small hole inside the printed
circle. Scribe the slot printed/cut-out on the template and die-grind out the slot at the axle-attaching
hole the same size as the slot in the template and de-burr the surface avoiding rounding the edges
of the slot.
4. Drill a 0.228 inch diameter hole at the punch mark. Use this hole to mount the cam with the
1/4-20 self-tapping screw supplied.

5. Figure 9 shows a typical cam installation. Each hole in the cam represents a 1/2 degree caster
increase. A caster increase of approximately 2 degrees for F-150 4x2 for example will be obtained
by mounting the cam with the self-tapping screw in
the No. 2 hole of the cam to the lower flange of the radius arm.

The following are methods for adjusting caster on vehicles with stamped front axles:
1. TSB No. 82-10-18 provides a 1/2 degree adjustment per side to correct a caster split of 1
degree.
2. For caster splits greater than 1 degree the axleattaching hole in the radius arm can be slotted to
allow more axle rotation for increasing caster. SLOT ONLY ONE HOLE IN THE UPPER EAR OF
THE RADIUS ARM (AT THE SPRING SEAT). DO NOT SLOT THE LOWER EAR OF ANY
RADIUS ARM WITH STAMPED AXLES. Slotting the upper hole rearward 1/8 inch will provide
approximately 1 degree of caster increase. With the slotted radius arm and axle loosely assembled,
twist the axle (top of axle rearward) while torquing the axle-to-radius arm joint before the spring
seat is installed. Verify correct torque with a torque wrench - do not depend on an impact wrench
for final torque.

Fig. 8 Measuring Riding Height
Prior to checking caster and camber, ensure vehicle front ride height is within {1/8} inch side to side
1980-87 E-100-350. On 1980-87 F-100-350 models, the left side ride height should be within
0-{3/8} inch higher than the right side ride height. On 1980-87 F-150-350 (4x4) and Bronco, the
front ride heights should be within {3/16} inch side to side. Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8. If the vehicle
ride heights are not within specifications, redistribute load on loaded vehicles or slightly load empty
vehicles on one side. If the ride heights cannot be brought within specifications, verify correct
spring installation. The ride height variations stated, are for checking purposes only. The vehicle
does not have to operate within these specifications. Check and correct as necessary all tire
inflation pressures, then check front tires for the same size, ply rating and load range. Check front
wheel bearings and adjust as necessary. If all the above checks have been made, check wheel
alignment with suitable alignment equipment. Using the ride heights obtained earlier, compare
caster and camber readings to those listed in the ``Wheel Alignment Specifications Chart''. If the
caster and camber angles exceed the specifications, inspect front end for damaged suspension
components. Replace as necessary. Alignment equipment indicates a true reading only when the
vehicle's frame is horizontal. Therefore, if the frame is not level (due to tire, spring or load
differences), the caster angle reading must be modified to compensate for the frame angles. If the
front is higher than the rear, subtract the amount of angle from the reading. If the front is lower than
the rear, add the angle. To check frame angle, use a spirit protractor, and take the frame angle
measurement on the lower frame flange at the flat area immediately adjacent to the rear spring
front hanger.

adjustment from - 1 {1/2}° to +1 {1/2}°.
TOE-IN, ADJUST Check the steering wheel spoke position when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position. If the spokes are not in the normal position, they can be adjusted while
toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen clamp bolts on each tie rod end sleeve.
2. Adjust toe-in. If steering wheel spokes are in their normal position, lengthen or shorten both rods
equally to obtain correct toe-in. If spokes are not in normal position, make necessary rod
adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and steering wheel spoke alignment.

Power Steering Bleeding: Service and Repair
Four factors affect power operation of the steering system: fluid level and condition, drive belt
tension, pump pressure and steering gear adjustment. These should always be checked before
any major service operations are performed. Conditions such as, hard or loose steering, road
shock or vibrations are not always due to steering gear or pump, but are often related instead to
such factors as low tire pressure and front end alignment. These factors should be checked and
corrected before any adjustment of the steering gear is made.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
1. Run engine to normal operating temperature, then shut it off. Remove reservoir filler cap and
check oil level on dipstick. Level should be up to ``Full'' mark on dipstick.
2. If level is low, add power steering fluid to proper level on dipstick and replace filler cap. When
adding less than one pint of fluid, it is permissible to use automatic transmission fluid. When adding
larger quantities or when making a complete fluid change, it is recommended that special power
steering fluid be used.
3. When checking fluid level after system has been serviced, air must be bled from the system as
outlined under ``Bleeding System.''
BLEEDING SYSTEM
1. With wheels turned all the way to the left, add the recommended fluid to the ``Add'' mark on
dipstick.
2. Start engine. While running at fast idle, recheck fluid level and, if necessary, add fluid to the
``Add'' mark on dipstick.
3. Bleed system by turning wheels from side to side without hitting stops. Maintain fluid level just
above internal pump casting. Fluid with air in it will have a light tan appearance. This air must be
eliminated from fluid before normal steering action can be obtained.
4. Return wheels to center position and continue to run engine for two or three minutes, then shut it
off.
5. Road test vehicle to make sure steering functions normally and is free from noise.
6. Recheck fluid level, making sure level is at the ``Full'' mark.

This TSB is being republished to provide current service part numbers for the dipstick cap and
baffle.
Power steering pump leaks which appear to originate at the pressure fitting, return fitting, or at the
reservoir to housing seal may actually be caused by fluid spilling past the dipstick/cap assembly.
Overfill is the most common cause of spillage. Also, vehicles with high performance engines such
as the 5.0L H.O. and the 2.3L EFI turbo are more susceptible to spillage. Other vehicles may spill
fluid due to rough roads or severe handling conditions.

Figure 1 - Dipstick/Cap Assemblies
A new center vent dipstick (Figure 1) has been released to prevent spillage. It includes one
additional baffle, a deep set "O" ring, and a 3/16" lower fluid level. For high performance vehicles
with a 5.0L H.O. or 2.3L EFI turbo, a separate rubber baffle is added to the dipstick.
Before installing a new dipstick/cap assembly, make certain that spillage was not caused by an
overfill condition.
1. Check return line at the pump for looseness and tighten clamp as necessary.
2. Check fluid level with new dipstick and adjust fluid level between "add" and "cold full" with fluid at
room temperature.
3. If it is a high performance vehicle as noted above, install baffle on dipstick as illustrated in Figure
1.
NOTE: A gap between the filler neck and the cap is normal on reservoirs originally using the old
dipstick. The deep set "O" ring compensates for this. PART NUMBER

This TSB is being republished to provide current service part numbers for the dipstick cap and
baffle.
Power steering pump leaks which appear to originate at the pressure fitting, return fitting, or at the
reservoir to housing seal may actually be caused by fluid spilling past the dipstick/cap assembly.
Overfill is the most common cause of spillage. Also, vehicles with high performance engines such
as the 5.0L H.O. and the 2.3L EFI turbo are more susceptible to spillage. Other vehicles may spill
fluid due to rough roads or severe handling conditions.

Figure 1 - Dipstick/Cap Assemblies
A new center vent dipstick (Figure 1) has been released to prevent spillage. It includes one
additional baffle, a deep set "O" ring, and a 3/16" lower fluid level. For high performance vehicles
with a 5.0L H.O. or 2.3L EFI turbo, a separate rubber baffle is added to the dipstick.
Before installing a new dipstick/cap assembly, make certain that spillage was not caused by an
overfill condition.
1. Check return line at the pump for looseness and tighten clamp as necessary.
2. Check fluid level with new dipstick and adjust fluid level between "add" and "cold full" with fluid at
room temperature.
3. If it is a high performance vehicle as noted above, install baffle on dipstick as illustrated in Figure
1.
NOTE: A gap between the filler neck and the cap is normal on reservoirs originally using the old
dipstick. The deep set "O" ring compensates for this. PART NUMBER

FIGURE 11
Since August, 1982, the small triangular detent on the rotor of CII power steering pumps has been
eliminated. See Figure 11. This mark is used to identify the side of the rotor that must face up when
re-assembling the pump. Pumps built since August have rotors with a series of bumps or a capital
letter on the opposite side of the rotor. These marks must face down when reassembling the pump
or the rotor shaft "C" clip will not install and the rotor will have to be pulled, turned and the springs
and slippers re-installed. Dimensionally, these rotors are the same. However, for assembly
purpose, it is important that when a rotor has a triangular detent, the mark be up and when it has
any other identification, the mark must be down.
Also, pumps built since February, 1983, have a different rotor retention "C" clip (See Figure 11).
Either clip will fit the rotor shaft, but the new clip is preferred. OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES:

Precautions
Steering Column: Service Precautions
When the steering column is installed in the vehicle it is not susceptible to damage through
ordinary use; however, when it is removed, care must be taken during handling. Such actions as a
sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft or shift levers, leaning on the column assembly or
dropping of the assembly could loosen or shear the plastic shear joints or rivets used to maintain
column rigidity. Hammering, jolting or bumping on the steering shaft and gearshift tube must be
avoided during all service operations. If the shear pins are broken, the controlled length of the
telescoping design will be altered making these components unfit for further service. When
removing the steering wheel, only a steering wheel puller designed for this purpose must be used.
It is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used during the assembly
procedure and torqued to specifications to insure proper breakaway action of the column under
impact. Avoid using excessively long bolts or fasteners as they may prevent a portion of the
steering column from collapsing. When replacing fasteners, replace with ones of the same part
number or equivalent. When removing or installing the steering wheel, ignition switch, lock cylinder,
turn signal switch, neutral start switch, back-up light switch or adjusting column shift manual
transmission linkage refer to the appropriate vehicle chapter.

Precautions > Page 3554
Steering Column: Description and Operation
ENERGY ABSORBING STEERING COLUMNS The energy absorbing function of the steering
column allows the column to collapse at a controlled rate during a severe collision. The collapsing
action reduces the possibility of the steering wheel being driven rearward towards the driver. If the
driver is thrown forward into the steering wheel, the column can collapse even further at the same
controlled rate, thereby reducing the force of impact. Several designs of steering column jackets
are used. There is the slip-tube design which is held together with plastic inserts or rivets that shear
upon impact and allow the column to collapse. And there is the slotted or corrugated mesh design
and bellows type design which shorten in length during impact. The shift tube is a two piece design
which is held together by injections of plastic that form the interconnecting inserts and shear pins.
Under impact, there is a gradual paring away of the inserts by the knife-like edge in the adjoining
tube section. The steering shaft is a two piece assembly. The upper piece is solid and has a double
flattened lower end. The lower piece is hollow and formed to fit over the double flattened section of
the upper piece. The purpose of the double flattened section is to provide continued steering action
even though the shaft is completely collapsed. Upon impact, the shear pins break off and the shaft
gradually telescopes against resistance provided by the plastic injections. The steering column
mounting bracket prevents the column from being shifted towards the driver during impact. It uses
two ``breakaway capsules'' that allow the mounting bracket to slip off its attaching points, allowing
the steering column to compress or yield in a forward direction under a severe impact from the
driver's end.

left axle arm to latest level.
When resolving a concern involving a damaged left axle arm between the spring seat and the
carrier housing, the following procedure should be followed. In addition, if either the arm or the
carrier is replaced, they should be reworked as described, to assure compatibility of the bolt holes.
- Inspect the left hand axle arm tab bolt holes. Ream 7/16" diameter (slotted) holes (2) to 9/16"
diameter round holes if necessary.
- Inspect carrier housing. Ream the two axle arm to carrier housing attaching bolt holes, if the
tapped holes are 3/8" diameter. Re-tap the holes (2) to 1/2" - 13 UNC-2B thread.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1980-94 BRONCO, F-150-350 SERIES 1988-94 F SUPER DUTY, F-47
This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add certain 1992/94 model year vehicles, to
revise the nut specified in the article and its torque specification, and to expand the diagnostic and
repair procedures contained in the article.
ISSUE:
A "popping/creaking" sound may come from the area of the # 1 crossmember attachment to the left
frame rail. This occurs because of a slip/stick motion at a loose rivet in the lower flange of the
frame near the steering gear. The rivet could be either a standard cold head rivet in light duty
applications or a "huck" rivet, which has the appearance of a large "pop" Civet.
ACTION:
Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the noise is originating in this rivet area. If
so, replace the rivet with a nut, bolt and washer assembly. The revised parts increase the clamp
load at the joint, minimizing the motion that causes the noise. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
SOURCES OF VARIOUS FRONT UNDERBODY NOISES:
Various front underbody noises may originate from several different sources. Several noises have
been misdiagnosed as # 1 crossmember rivet "pop/creak" because the noise tends to propagate to
the shock tower area and the shock tower area acts as an amplifier such that the noises all appear
to be coming from that area. Other underbody areas that produce similar noises include:
^ loose or improperly seated shock tower rivets
^ loose or misaligned transmission crossmembers
^ loose radius arm brackets
^ loose axle pivot brackets
Other service bulletins have been published to address the proper repair of these concerns.
DESCRIPTION OF # 1 CROSSMEMBER NOISES:
"Pop/creak" - A metal-to-metal rubbing motion which slip/sticks when a twist is induced into the
frame.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER:
a. Understand the customer's description of the noise and of the conditions under which it is heard.
b. Road test the vehicle with the customer to fully understand where, how and when the noise
occurs.
2. DUPLICATE THE NOISE CONCERN:
a. Drive the vehicle around for at least 15 minutes to warm-up and stress the frame joints, so that
any frame noise is more likely to be repeatable in the garage.
b. Test the following situations:
^ Can the noise be duplicated while stationary and on dry pavement by repeatedly turning the
steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Ford F 250 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1982))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Cross-Member > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 94813 > Apr > 94 > Frame/Crossmember - Snapping/Popping Noise > Page 3619
^ Can the noise be repeated while on the hoist without the suspension loaded by repeatedly turning
the steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Typically, the twist in the frame can be induced by turning the steering wheel back and forth from
steering stop to steering stop to duplicate the noise at the # 1 crossmember attachment. IF THE
NOISE IS NOT DUPLICATED UNDER ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS, INVESTIGATE OTHER
AREAS FOR THE NOISE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO REPAIR THE # 1 CROSSMEMBER
RIVET.
3. INSPECT FRAME BOLTS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION TORQUE:
a. Inspect and tighten all front end components which bolt to the frame to confirm they are at the
proper torque. This includes, but is not limited to:
^ Radius arm bracket bolts - 135 +/- 20 N-m (100 +/- 15 lb.ft.)
^ Axle pivot bracket bolts (torques vary by model - refer to the appropriate light truck Service
Manual for proper torque specifications)
^ Bumper bracket bolts - (refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual for proper torque
specifications)
b. Inspect the transmission crossmember for proper alignment and bolt torques. If misaligned:
^ Loosen all transmission crossmember fasteners (including to the transmission).
^ Lift the transmission to remove any load on the crossmember.
^ Lift and reposition the transmission crossmember to be centered on the frame attachment holes.
^ Tighten all frame fasteners to the 63 +/- 9 N-m (46 +/- 7 lb.ft.).
^ Lower the transmission and tighten fasteners to 95 +/- 15 N-m (70 +/- 11 lb.ft.).
4. TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE
Road test the vehicle again to duplicate the concern. If the noise is still present, continue.
5. INSPECT THE FRAME RIVETS
a. Repeat Step 2 to duplicate the noise in the garage.
b. Use a stethoscope or chassis ears to isolate the area of the chassis that the noise appears to be
originating from. Areas to check include the shock tower rivets and all # 1 crossmember rivets.
6. SERVICE THE VEHICLE
a. If the noise appears to be from the lower left-front # 1 crossmember fastener, follow the
procedure outlined below.
b. If the noise appears to be coming from another rivet (other than the lower left front # 1
crossmember rivet), refer to TSB 93-6-10 for the proper rivet repair procedure.

KING PIN SERVICE SPINDLE THREAD PROTECTION - VEHICLES WITH FORGED AXLES
LIGHT TRUCKS 1975-83 ECONOLINE & F100-350
TSB 82-11-8 dated June 4, 1982 described the recommended king pin service procedure and
referenced the use of a hydraulic press to remove the spindle pin. For dealerships that do not have
such a press and normally remove the spindle pin by using a drift pin, the following procedure is
suggested to prevent spindle damage.
1. Remove upper/lower grease plug from the spindle being serviced (both spindles if required).
2. Remove the zerk fitting from one of the grease plugs. Clean grease plug.
3. Using the zerk fitting hole as a piloting hole, drill out the grease plug to any desired diameter up
to a maximum of 3/4".
4. After drilling is complete, re-install the modified grease plug in upper spindle.
5. Remove spindle pin by inserting a drift pin through the hole in the grease plug and striking with a
mallet. The grease plug will provide protection for the threads in the spindle.
6. After service is completed, remove modified grease cap. If necessary to replace spindle
bushings, use king pin bushing tool T53T-3110-A to remove old bushings and install new bushings.
Reassemble with new service components as required.
7. If service is required on other spindle, install modified grease cap to protect spindle threads.
8. Save modified grease cap for use on other similar vehicles.

STEERING - LEFT DRIFT OR PULL DURING BRAKING - "RECESSION STEER" - F-SERIES 4X2
LIGHT DUTY AND F-150/BRONCO 4X4
LIGHT TRUCK: 1980-92 BRONCO, F-150 1989-92 F-250
ISSUE: The vehicle may drift or pull left during braking, with no torque in the steering wheel. This
condition is known as "recession steer" and may be caused by the radius arm front pivot bushings.
ACTION: Confirm that "recession steer" exists and, if necessary, replace the left hand radius arm
bushing with the flat front retainer and both front pivot bushings. Refer to the following procedure
for service details.
NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE CAN ONLY BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH TSB 91-21-8 TO
COMPLETELY RESOLVE THIS CONDITION.
IDENTIFY CONCERN
Confirm that "recession steer" exists and segregate it from possible brake pull.
^ "Recession steer" must be correctly identified and segregated from brake pull. "Recession steer"
is identified by the vehicle drifting or pulling left during braking with no torque felt in the steering
wheel.
^ With the right hand radius arm pivot bracket bolted on, as in current production, and no brake
imbalance (correctly performing TSB 91-21-8 will assure this), the amount of left drift that could
result from "recession steer", if corrective steering wheel input is not applied, during a moderate
hard stop from 50 mph (80 km /h), is no more than 4 feet (1.2 m). The revised bushings are
designed to correct this magnitude of "recession steer".
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Refer to the to the 1992 F-Series And Bronco Service Manual, Section 04-01A, for removal and
replacement of the following components.
1. Replace the left hand (driver's side) radius arm bushing cupped front retainer with the flat front
retainer (F2TZ-3B186-A).
2. Replace the left hand (driver's side) radius arm front pivot bushing with the new bushing
(F2TZ-3B203-A). It is yellow in color with "LEFT HAND ONLY" molded in the front face.
3. Replace the right hand (passenger side) radius arm front pivot bushing with a new bushing
(F2TZ-3B203-B).
NOTE: REUSE THE ORIGINAL NYLON REAR BUSHING SPACER AND REAR BUSHING,
UNLESS EXCESSIVE WEAR IS FOUND. REPLACE WITH (E5TZ-3B244-A) AND
(D9TZ-3B203-A) RESPECTIVELY, IF REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY. TIGHTEN BOTH THE

STEERING PULL/DRIFT/ROADABILITY - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-84 F100-350, BRONCO, ECONOLINE
Section 19 of the 1983 and 1984 Light Truck Shop Manuals provides procedures to resolve most
roadability concerns experienced to date. These procedures can be applied to any 1980 and later
model light trucks.
When servicing 4 wheel drive vehicles with limited slip front axles, front tire circumference is the
most probable cause if the pull is only present when the hubs are locked. Installing the two most
evenly matched tires on the front axle should resolve the concern.

SHUDDER DURING BRAKING - SEMI-FLOAT REAR AXLE
LIGHT TRUCKS 1981-83 F-250/350
A brake shudder condition may be caused by the wheels warping the brake drums as well as brake
system causal factors. The following procedure will assist in determining the probable cause and
appropriate service actions.
Verify the condition by road test.
^ Make sure tires are warm to eliminate "cold flat spots".
^ Drive vehicle on smooth road at varying speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a vehicle shudder condition exists during this evaluation.
^ If a shudder condition exists during vehicle operation without brake application, service should be
handled per Section 18-01 of the Light Truck Shop Manual. If shudder exists only during brake
application, the following diagnostic procedure should be continued.
^ Apply brakes at varying brake pressure at speeds between 30 mph and 55 mph. Determine
whether a shudder condition exists.
^ Using parking brake only, apply the parking brake at varying intensity between 30 mph and 55
mph. Determine whether a shudder condition exists.
NOTE: The parking brake release should be held in the "release" position to permit modulation of
the parking brake pedal.
^ If the condition occurs during service brake application, but not during parking brake application,
this condition is isolated to the front brake area.
^ If the condition occurs during both service brake and parking brake application, the condition is
isolated to the rear brake area.
After verifying that a shudder condition exists during brake application, perform the following
operations in sequence:
^ Inspect tires for any obvious damage.
^ Inspect wheel lug nuts for looseness. Correct torque is 85-115 ft.lbs. (nominal - 105 ft.lbs.) for the
F-250 (under 8500 GVW) and 115-175 ft.lbs. (nominal - 145 ft.lbs.) for the F-250 HD (over
8500 GVW) and F-350 (single rear). Torque wheel lug nuts to specification if necessary and retest
vehicle. If condition is still evident, proceed to next step. ^
Remove all wheel/tire assemblies and apply light coat of paint to the surface of each front rotor/rear
drum that contacts the wheel, Re-install the original tire/wheel assemblies and torque each wheel
lug nut to 85 ft.lbs.
^ Remove tire/wheel assemblies and inspect for evidence of contact between wheel and front
rotor/rear brake drum at all wheel lug locations. This is done by observing the pattern on the paint
applied above.
^ If the wheels make full contact with the rotor/rear brake drum at all lug locations, proceed to
section "A" if the condition is isolated to the front brakes or to section "B" if the condition is isolated
to the rear brakes.
^ If the above procedure indicates wheel does not make contact at all lugs, locate another similar
vehicle that does not exhibit this condition and switch the tire/wheel assemblies between the two
vehicles. Repeat the above paint procedure to the front rotors and rear brake drums. Check each
wheel to rotor/brake drum contact pattern at all lug locations.
^ Road test vehicle.
^ If the shudder condition has been eliminated, the original vehicle wheels should be replaced with
the following wheels which incorporate improved uniformity discs.
NOTE: Reinstall the tires from the original customer unit:
Original Replacement
16 x 6K 16 x 6K: E3TZ-1015-S
16.5 x 6
16.5 x 6.75: D5TZ-1007-F
16.5 x 6.75
^ If the wheels make full contact and the shudder condition has not been corrected by the above
tire/wheel replacement, refer to Section A for the front brakes and Section B for the rear brakes.
Section A
^ Check front wheel bearing end play. If excessive, reset per Section 11-10 of the Truck Shop
Manual, and retest the vehicle for shudder.
^ If not excessive, or if the shudder still exists, remove the front brake calipers.
^ Sliding surfaces of caliper and spindle caliper support should be wire brushed to remove all scale,
rust, and foreign material. A light uniform coating of lubricant D7AZ-19590-A should be applied to
both sliding surfaces.
^ Inspect brake linings and if excessively worn, replace.

^ If not worn, hand sand inner and outer linings and both inner and outer braking surfaces of the
rotor. Use garnet paper 100A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150J (medium grit). Wipe lining and
rotor surfaces with a clean, dry rag.
^ Reinstall caliper, ensuring that caliper is free to slide on rails. Be careful not to get any lubricant
or grease on the brake surfaces. Retest for shudder.
^ If shudder still exists, remove caliper, and remove rotor from vehicle. Check and record rotor
runout and thickness per Section 12-24 of the Truck Shop Manual. Refinish or replace rotor if out of
specification.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.
Figure 13
Section B
^ Check for excessive runout on rear axle wheel bolts, flange face, and drum pilot. Refer to Figure
13. If the dimensions are out of limits, the axle shaft should be replaced.
^ Check rear brake drums for cracks or for out-ofround condition. Runout of brake contact surface
should be 0.007 TIR maximum. Replace or machine as required.
^ If shudder still exists, replace wheels.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE CORRECTION TO TSB 83-7-19
TSB 83-7-19 outlines a service procedure for brake shudder. That article contains an error which,
for the safety of technicians, should be corrected immediately. On page 30 of the TSB, the text
correctly instructed the technician to replace original 16.5" x 6" or 16.5" x 6.75" wheels with 16.5" x
6.75" wheels, identified as part number D5TZ-1007-F, using the original (16.5") tire. On page 31,
however, the parts block incorrectly identified part number D5TZ-1007-F as a 16" x 6.75" wheel.
WARNING: MOUNTING A 16.5" TIRE ON A 16" WHEEL OR VICE-VERSA CAN RESULT IN AN
EXPLOSIVE SEPARATION OF THE TIRE FROM THE RIM AND IN PERSONAL INJURY TO THE
TECHNICIANS OR IN SUDDEN AIR LOSS WHILE DRIVING. THE ERROR IN THE PARTS
BLOCK ON PAGE 31 OF TSB 83-7-19 SHOULD THEREAFTER BE CORRECTED
IMMEDIATELY. PART NUMBER D5TZ-1007- F IS A 16.5" x 6.75" WHEEL, NOT A 16" x 6.75"
WHEEL AS INDICATED IN THE PARTS BLOCK.
Because 16" and 16.5" wheels and tires appear similar in size, be sure to compare the sizes on
both the wheels and the tires to ensure proper matching before mounting the tires.
TSB 83-7-19 should also be amended to indicate that when changing from 16.5" x 6" wheels to
16.5" x 6.75" wheels, the wheel cover adapter rings should be changed.

ISSUE: The use of air impact tools to tighten wheel lug nuts can lead to overtightened and/or
unevenly tightened wheel lug nuts. Air impact tools typically used for wheel lug nut removal and
installation can generate up to 475 N.m (350 lb-ft) of torque. Overtightened and/or unevenly
torqued wheel lug nuts may cause:
^ Brake vibration
^ Distortion of the wheel hub
^ Distortion of the brake rotor

^ Damage to the wheel
^ Damage to the wheel nuts and studs
ACTION: All wheel lug nuts should only be tightened to specification using a torque wrench or by
using the Rotunda ACCUTORO 164-R0314 or equivalent on a 1/2" drive air impact tool. The
"ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets limit the torque of the air impact tool, preventing overtightening or
uneven tightening of the wheel lug nuts. The torque limiting devices (regulators) on air impact tools
will not reduce the output torque enough to prevent overtightening of the wheel lug nuts.

NOTE:
REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL OR THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 FOR THE
CORRECT WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATION. THE CHART IN FIGURE 1 ALSO
PROVIDES THE CORRECT "ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET TO USE.
The "ACCUTORO" socket is intended for lug nut installation, not removal. When using the
"ACCUTORO" socket, the output torque of the air impact tool must be set to 217-339 N.m (160-250
lb-ft), usually this will be the lowest setting on the air impact tool.
The "ACCUTORO" lug nut sockets are available through Rotunda Equipment. The four-piece set
(164-R0314) fits most Ford Motor Company cars and light trucks. The tool set consists of four (4)
lug nut sockets and a storage case. The set can be ordered by calling Rotunda Equipment at
1-800-ROT-UNDA (768-8632).
CAUTION:
AIR IMPACT TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS UNLESS THE
"ACCUTORO" LUG NUT SOCKET OF THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION IS USED.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE AIR IMPACT TOOLS ON LOCKING WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY ARE TO BE
HAND-TORQUED ONLY.

Servicing of Cable-Type Acceleration Linkage
The following procedure will assist in diagnosing accelerator linkage concerns on 1980-83 light
trucks.
If the accelerator pedal, when operated, is hard to push down or feels "raspy" or "sticky", perform
the following:
1. First disconnect the accelerator cable from the carburetor (or injector pump) throttle lever ball
stud. Also disconnect the cruise control from the accelerator cable if so equipped.
2. Then check the following items:
^ Be sure that the disconnected end of the cable or its spring does not come into contact with any
of the surrounding parts.
^ Operate the pedal by foot.
^ If accelerator operation is smooth, the pedal assembly and cable are not the cause of the
concern. Refer to the carburetor/injector pump diagnosis procedures in the appropriate shop
manual for additional checks.
^ E, F, Bronco and Ranger with gas engine - See General Fuel System Service Section 24-01.
^ Ranger with Diesel Engine - See Ranger Shop Manual - 2.2L Diesel Engine Section 22-09 of the
Engine Performance Diagnostic Guide.
^ F Series with the 6.9L Diesel Engine - See the 1983 Car/Truck Shop Manual - Engine Electronics
Section 25-64.
^ If the concern persists (being sure disconnected end of cable has not come into contact with
anything), check foot pedal assembly for free operation. If pedal operation is free, replace the
cable.
If you have a high engine idle speed concern, check the following linkage systems:
1. First disconnect the accelerator cable from the carburetor (or injector pump) throttle lever ball
stud. Also disconnect the cruise control from the accelerator cable if so equipped.
^ If the cable ball socket extends beyond the throttle lever ball stud, refer to the carburetor
diagnosis procedures in the appropriate shop manual for the correct adjustment procedure. ^
If the socket does not extend beyond the stud, check the foot pedal assembly for free operation. If
the pedal operation is free, replace the cable.
NOTE: The accelerator cable should not be lubricated and it is not serviceable.

ISSUE: A procedure has been developed for cleaning Spring Lock Coupling (SLC) refrigerant
fittings during air conditioning system repairs. This procedure and replacement of black O-rings
with the improved green O-rings will reduce the potential of refrigerant leaks.
ACTION:
When servicing the air conditioning system on the subject vehicles, or if a refrigerant leak is
suspected at any of the SLC connections, disconnect all SLC connections and replace all black
O-rings with new green O-rings which are made of an improved material. Use the following service
procedure to clean the coupling before installing new green O-rings. Refer to the Parts Block in this
article for correct parts usage.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Remove all refrigerant from the vehicle A/C system using an U.L. approved
Refrigerant/Recovery device prior to disconnecting the refrigerant couplings. Refer to the
appropriate model year Service Manual for a detailed A/C discharging procedure.
2. Disconnect the SLC coupling.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Coupler HVAC > A/C Coupler O-ring > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Air Conditioning - O Ring Removal Service Tip > Page 3846
3. Remove the black O-rings. Be careful not to scratch the O-ring grooves.
CAUTION: A SCRATCH CAN CAUSE FUTURE REFRIGERANT LEAKS.
4. Remove any surface residue from the inside of the female SLC and the grooves of the male SLC
by polishing with 400 grit emery cloth or equivalent. Polish the female surface by using a twisting
motion, Figure 1, so that any scratches made will not cross the O-ring sealing surface.
5. Perform additional polishing of the surface using 600 grit emery cloth or equivalent.

Good heater cores are being returned through the parts return system coded as leaking.
Complaints of leaking may be caused by an inadequate seal between the heater hose and the
heater core tubes allowing coolant to follow the tube to the heater core, leak into the passenger
compartment and appear as a leaking heater core.
When diagnosing a suspect heater core leak, inspect the hose to heater core tube attachment to
assure the connection is not leaking. If a leaking connection is found, correct the leak. If the
connection appears not to be leaking, leak test the heater core before removing it from the vehicle
using the following procedure:
HEATER CORE LEAK TEST
Pressure Test 1.
Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
2. Disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core tubes.
3. Install a short piece of heater hose (approximately 4 inches long) on each heater core tube.
Figure 1
4. Fill the heater core and hoses with water and install plug BT-7422-B and adapter BT-7422-A
from Rotunda model 021-00012 or equivalent in the hose ends (Figure 1). Secure the hoses, plug
and adapter with hose clamps.

(Figure 2). Close the bleed valve at the base of the gauge and pump 30 psi of air pressure into the
heater core (Figure 3).
6. Observe the pressure gauge for a minimum of three minutes. The pressure should not drop.
7. If the pressure does not drop, no leaks are indicated.
8. If the pressure drops, check the hose connections to the core tubes for leaks. If the hoses do not
leak, remove the heater core from the vehicle and perform the bench test.
Bench Test 1.
Drain all coolant from the heater core.

regarding its handling can be found on the Internet at World Wide Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/ozone/
In 1994, EPA established the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program to review
alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like R-12. EPA examines new substitutes for their
ozone depleting, global warming, flammability, and toxicity characteristics. The SNAP process does
not test these substitutes for A/C system compatibility, reliability, durability, or performance.
Under the SNAP rule, each new refrigerant must be used in accordance with the following
conditions:
1. Unique Fittings - Each new refrigerant must be used with a unique set of fittings to prevent the
accidental mixing of different refrigerants.
2. Unique Equipment - Each refrigerant must have dedicated recovery/recycling equipment for that
refrigerant.
3. Labels - Whether a vehicle is originally designed to use a new refrigerant or is retrofitted, the
technician must apply a detailed label giving specific information about the alternative. This label
covers up information about the old refrigerant and provides valuable details on the alternative and
how it was used. The technician is required to fill in their name, company performing the retrofit,
address and the date retrofitted.
4. Remove Original Refrigerant - The original R-12 must be removed from the system prior to
charging with the new refrigerant. This will guarantee that the largest amount of clean R-12 is
available for use in vehicles that still need it.

AEROSTAR 1988-89 ECONOLINE ISSUE:
Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary
replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system
pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off)
rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.
ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic
charts before replacing the pressure switch.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should
be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).
2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
^ Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
^ Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure
switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wires are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two
terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT
DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis.
Repair as necessary.
3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48~ F (9~ C), the system
pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).
4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the
switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

5. If the pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch cycle rate is faster than the normal rate of 2 to 5
cycles per minute, the system is probably low on refrigerant. Check that the system contains the
correct refrigerant charge by following the correct diagnostic chart (Figures 1 or 2).

cycles per minute, the system is probably low on refrigerant. Check that the system contains the
correct refrigerant charge by following the correct diagnostic chart (Figures 1 or 2).

AEROSTAR 1988-89 ECONOLINE ISSUE:
Poor air conditioning cooling caused by low or no refrigerant charge often results in unnecessary
replacement of the clutch cycling pressure switch. The switch is designed to work on system
pressure. It closes at about 46 psi and opens at about 24.5 psi. It has a normal cycle (on and off)
rate of 2 to 5 cycles per minute.
ACTION: If an inoperative or fast cycling pressure switch is found, use the following diagnostic
charts before replacing the pressure switch.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. Connect a manifold gauge set to the service ports and check the system pressures. They should
be above the closing pressure of the switch (46 psi).
2. If the A/C system pressures are above 46 psi and the clutch will not engage, proceed as follows:
^ Check the pressure switch harness connector and harness wires for a continuous open condition.
^ Check for an intermittent open or a poor connection between the connector and the pressure
switch terminals.
a. If the harness connector and wires are OK, by-pass the pressure switch by jumping the two
terminals of the connector. If the clutch still does not engage, THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS NOT
DEFECTIVE. Refer to the respective EVTM for the clutch circuit schematic and circuit diagnosis.
Repair as necessary.
3. Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 48~ F (9~ C), the system
pressure will not be high enough to close the pressure switch (46 psi).
4. If the system does not contain refrigerant, the pressure will not be high enough to close the
switch for compressor operation. Leak test, repair, evacuate and charge the system.

The States of New York, New Jersey and Illinois recently enacted a mandatory seat belt usage law.
With these laws and impending similar belt usage legislation in other states, dealers can expect
customer inquiries regarding seat belts. The following information is being published in an effort to
refamiliarize dealership service personnel with seat and shoulder belt systems utilized over the
past several model years. Previous Service Recall and TSB articles pertaining to seat belt usage
and servicing are also included.
Section 1 -Identification of Seat Belt System Types For Model Years 1974-1985
There are three distinct types of seat belt systems. Two of the systems are three-point anchoring
systems. One three-point system has dual retractors; one retractor for the lap and one for the
shoulder belt. The other three-point system is the continuous loop single retractor system for the
lap and shoulder belts. The third system is a two-point system that contains a lap belt only which is
used for rear seat and front center passenger restraint.
Continuous Loop Three-Point System The continuous loop system has a moveable tongue on the
front outboard lap/shoulder belt and only one retractor.
Dual Retractor Three-Point System
The dual retractor system has a fixed tongue on the front outboard lap/shoulder belt. (Note that on
the Econoline for 1982-85 model years, the two retractors are on one frame attached to the seat
pedestal.)
Front Center/Rear Seat Two-Point System A 2-point system provides a lap belt only and applies to
the front seat center position and all rear seat positions. Rear outboard belts are equipped with
retractors, while front and rear center belts are not.
A.Continuous Loop Three-Point Shoulder/Lap Belt - System With Moveable Tongue and One
Retractor - 1976 to Present Cars and Ligh
Figure 5
The continuous loop three-point system (Figure 5) is used for front outboard passengers. The
outboard lap/shoulder belt uses a common moveable tongue. To fasten the seat belt, the tongue is
inserted into the inboard buckle. The webbing of the lap belt is anchored to the side of the body
without a

retractor. The shoulder harness webbing has the other end fixed in a retractor, which is located on
the "B" pillar post or in the quarter panel. The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the
webbing freely move in or out, except during sufficient vehicle deceleration, when it is automatically
locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor. The inboard (buckle) portion of the seat belt
assembly passes between the seat cushion and seat back on bench seat installations, and directly
to a fixed anchorage on the floor. On bucket seat installations, it is routed along the side of the seat
and is fastened to a slide bar. The slide bar is connected to the seat track, the seat, and the floor
pan. On LTD/Marquis and Thunderbird/Cougar, the buckle end passes between the seat and the
consolette and is connected to the seat track.
Attaching the tongue to the buckle secures the occupant with both lower and upper restraints. This
attachment of the tongue and buckle can be accomplished by a single continuous movement. This
system may also include a tension eliminator that is designed to release automatically when the
respective front door is opened. As the seatbelt is unbuckled, the tongue end of the belt should be
hand-guided back to the retractor to prevent the belt tongue from striking occupants or objects
nearby during retraction.
B.Dual Retractor Three-Point Shoulder/Lap System - 1974 to 1983 Cars and Light Trucks and
1974 to 1985 Econolines and Club Wago
Figure 4
The dual retractor three-point system is used for front outboard occupants (Figure 4). The lap belt
portion and shoulder harness are joined at the tongue. To secure the belt, the tongue is inserted
into the buckle of the inboard belt portion.

Figure 4
Figure 6
Except for the 1983-85 Econoline and Club Wagon, the webbing for the outboard lap belt extends
from the belt retractor located on the rocker panel that automatically locks when the belt is being
worn. This locking feature prevents the belt from being pulled out further, but allows the belt to
retract, thus maintaining a snug fit around the user for increased safety. This lap belt retractor is
located on or in the rocker panel (depending on car line and model - Figure 4) or on the seat
pedestal for 1983-85 Econoline and Club Wagon (Figure 6).

Ford Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Systems > Seat Belt > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Seat/Shoulder Belts - General Service Information > Page 3977
Figure 4
The shoulder harness webbing has one end fixed in a retractor (Figure 4) which is located in or on
the rocker panel, or in the "B" pillar post (depending on car/truck line and model). The
Mustang/Capri shoulder harness retractor is located in the quarter panel. From the retractor, the
webbing then passes through a guide above and behind the occupant's shoulder which directs the
webbing at the proper downward angle over the occupant's shoulder and chest, and attaches the
tongue to the inboard belt buckle. The shoulder harness retractor is designed to let the webbing
move freely in or out at all times, except during vehicle deceleration, when the retractor is
automatically locked by a mechanically actuated retractor inertia sensor. The inboard belt buckle
passes through the seat cushion on a bench seat or around the side of the cushion on a bucket
seat to a fixed anchorage on the floor or seat pedestal for Econolines. Attaching (locking together)
the tongue and buckle secures the occupant with both lower and upper restraints. This attachment
of the tongue and buckle can be accomplished by a single continuous movement.
C.Two-Point System - Center Front/Rear and Rear Seat Lap Belts
Those vehicles designed to accommodate a center rear seat occupant have a center lap belt
without a retractor. The belt should be adjusted by the tongue to fit snugly and as low as possible
around the hips.

Figure 7
In passenger cars and light trucks, the rear seat two-point lap belt system for outboard passengers
has the retractor located in the quarter panel or attached to the floor under the seat (Figure 7). On
Econoline, Club Wagon, Bronco and Bronco II vehicles, the rear seat retractors are attached to the
seat frame or the floor. The buckle portions of the seat belt are all attached to the floor on
passenger cars, and either to the floor or seat frame on Broncos and Econolines. Most rear seat
lap belt retractor assemblies are equipped with a sleeve to prevent the tongue from being lost
between the seat cushion and seat back. The buckle ends pass between the seat cushion and seat
back. On passenger cars, the locking together of the tongue and buckle can be made by a single
continuous movement. On Bronco and Econoline vehicles, the outboard buckle ends pass around
the outside of the rear seat (Figure 6, View B).
Section 3-Functional Test Procedure For Shoulder Harness
Shoulder Harness Functional Test Procedure for Three-Point Systems (Both Dual Retractor and
Continuous Loop Systems)
Driver should buckle up and proceed to a test area appropriate for making sudden stops. If the RH
passenger seat
belt must be tested, a passenger should be buckled into the RH seat. The passenger belt may be
tested utilizing a driver only, providing the driver has the ability to grasp the RH shoulder belt and
extend it approximately (660 mm) 26 inches with no compromise to safe driving. This method
applies to the (8 km/h) 5 mph test only.
NOTE: The RH shoulder belt should not be extended during testing. This avoids the possibility of a
false lock-up that is caused by a fully extended belt.
After reaching an area to safely perform sudden stops, the driver should attain a speed of
approximately (8 km/h) 5 mph. The driver should inform the passenger (if any), that he is preparing
to make a brake application. At this time, both driver and passenger should prepare to lean slightly
forward at the moment the brake application is made.
The driver should make a moderately hard brake application (approximately l6 ft./sec.) without tire
skid. The brake application should be on dry concrete or equivalent hard road surface (never on a
wet or gravel road). The driver and passenger should lean forward slightly into the shoulder
harness; at this instant, the belt retractor should lock-up without webbing payout.
If there is a retractor lock-up on both driver and passenger shoulder straps, the seat belt
assemblies are functioning properly. Should either or both retractors fail to lock-up at the (8 km/h) 5
mph speed, the test should be repeated at a constant (24 km/h) 15 mph. (This test must be
performed with a RH passenger if the RH belt is to be tested.)
If either or both shoulder belt assemblies do not lock-up at the (24 km/h) 15 mph test, the vehicle is
to be returned for removal and replacement of the seat belt assembly, then retest.
WARNING: WHEN REPLACING A SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, BE SURE TO INSTALL A
COMPLETE NEW ASSEMBLY (BUCKLE PORTION AND TONGUE PORTION TOGETHER) AS

Section 4-Functional Test Procedure For Lap Belts and Retractor
Webbing Cannot Be Fully Extracted From Lap Belt Retractor - 2-Door and 4-Door (Front Outboard
- Except Versailles)
1. Pull webbing from the shoulder harness retractor, allowing the lap belt to retract fully into the
retractor. Pull webbing from the lap belt retractor, allow it to retract fully.
2. If OK, buckle up while sitting in seat. Repeat five times to ensure proper operation. If not OK,
inspect for webbing twists in the seat belt assembly and remove the twists, if possible, without
dismantling the retractor assembly. Otherwise, replace the seat belt assembly and repeat the
buckle-up procedure five times.

NOTE: There are two ways to stop the retractor from "free wheeling". One way is to "buckle up"
and the retractor will lock immediately. The second way is to pull approximately 12" of webbing
from the lap belt retractor, wait approximately 15 seconds, and a thermal timer will deactivate the
"free wheeling" feature.
Webbing Cannot Be Fully Extracted From Lap Belt Retractor
1. If the webbing cannot be pulled from the lap belt retractor, it may be twisted and jammed in a
partially extended position. If the twist can be removed without retractor disassembly, allow the
webbing to fully retract and then withdraw a minimum of 18 inches (460mm) of webbing from the
retractor, return 2 inches (50mm) and check for lock-up. If OK, allow to retract fully and buckle up
while sitting in the seat. Repeat five times to ensure proper operation. Verify that belt webbing can
be extended far enough to expose the manufacturer's certification label.
2. If not OK, replace the seat belt assembly and repeat appropriate portions of Step 1, above.

Section 5-Seat Belt Procedure After an Accident
NOTE: ALL SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING RETRACTORS AND ATTACHING
HARDWARE SHOULD BE INSPECTED AFTER ANY COLLISION. FORD RECOMMENDS THAT
ALL SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES IN USE DURING A COLLISION BE REPLACED UNLESS THE
COLLISION WAS MINOR AND THE BELTS SHOW NO DAMAGE AND CONTINUE TO
OPERATE PROPERLY. SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES NOT IN USE DURING A COLLISION
SHOULD ALSO BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF EITHER DAMAGE OR IMPROPER
OPERATION IS NOTED.
Before installing the new seat belt assembly, the seat belt attaching areas must be inspected for
damage and distortion, and if the attaching points are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must
be reworked back to its original shape and structural integrity.
Install the new seat belt assembly in matched sets using the appropriate instructions; then
functionally test as described previously in this article.
Section 6-Cleaning Belt Webbing
Clean the belt webbing with any mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or
carpets; follow instructions provided with the soap. Do not bleach or re-dye the webbing because it
may weaken the belt webbing.
Section 7-Service Parts
The Ford Motor Company stocks replacement parts for all passenger car safety belt systems for
which there is nominal demand without regard to the age of vehicle. Beyond this, in the interest of
ensuring that the full protection of safety belts is available for all Ford owners, the Company will
undertake to provide parts to service the belt system for any Company vehicle if it was originally
equipped with safety belts.
Seat belt and shoulder assembly part numbers for specific applications can be identified by
referring to Body Section 611 of the parts catalog. In general, these assemblies are available with
black webbing only once the vehicle is beyond two years out of production. Part orders should be
placed through the normal PDC system.

NOTE: This article is being republished in its entirety to include 1986 models.
Installation of "AfterMarket" anti-theft devices such as fuel shutoff and ignition defeating devices
may cause no starts, hard starting, stalls, or damage to vehicle components on Ford vehicles
equipped with electronic engine controls. Possible damage caused by these devices can result
from the following situations:
1. Fuel shutoff devices - Attempting to start the vehicle without disarming this device may cause the
fuel injectors to run dry and overheat, which will lead to failure of the injectors.
2. Ignition defeating devices which ground the ignition/tachometer lead - Attempting to start the
vehicle without disarming may result in ignition coil failure.
Figure 13
In addition, care must be taken when routing underhood after market wiring (see Figure 13 for
proper precautions), in order to avoid electromagnetic interference with electronic engine controls.
The following precautions must be observed:

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add certain 1992/94 model year vehicles, to
revise the nut specified in the article and its torque specification, and to expand the diagnostic and
repair procedures contained in the article.
ISSUE:
A "popping/creaking" sound may come from the area of the # 1 crossmember attachment to the left
frame rail. This occurs because of a slip/stick motion at a loose rivet in the lower flange of the
frame near the steering gear. The rivet could be either a standard cold head rivet in light duty
applications or a "huck" rivet, which has the appearance of a large "pop" Civet.
ACTION:
Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the noise is originating in this rivet area. If
so, replace the rivet with a nut, bolt and washer assembly. The revised parts increase the clamp
load at the joint, minimizing the motion that causes the noise. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
SOURCES OF VARIOUS FRONT UNDERBODY NOISES:
Various front underbody noises may originate from several different sources. Several noises have
been misdiagnosed as # 1 crossmember rivet "pop/creak" because the noise tends to propagate to
the shock tower area and the shock tower area acts as an amplifier such that the noises all appear
to be coming from that area. Other underbody areas that produce similar noises include:
^ loose or improperly seated shock tower rivets
^ loose or misaligned transmission crossmembers

Other service bulletins have been published to address the proper repair of these concerns.
DESCRIPTION OF # 1 CROSSMEMBER NOISES:
"Pop/creak" - A metal-to-metal rubbing motion which slip/sticks when a twist is induced into the
frame.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER:
a. Understand the customer's description of the noise and of the conditions under which it is heard.
b. Road test the vehicle with the customer to fully understand where, how and when the noise
occurs.
2. DUPLICATE THE NOISE CONCERN:
a. Drive the vehicle around for at least 15 minutes to warm-up and stress the frame joints, so that
any frame noise is more likely to be repeatable in the garage.
b. Test the following situations:
^ Can the noise be duplicated while stationary and on dry pavement by repeatedly turning the
steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Ford F 250 4wd Pickup Workshop Manual (V8-351 5.8L (1982))
Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Cross-Member > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Customer Interest: > 94813 > Apr > 94 > Frame/Crossmember - Snapping/Popping Noise > Page 4046
^ Can the noise be repeated while on the hoist without the suspension loaded by repeatedly turning
the steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop?
Typically, the twist in the frame can be induced by turning the steering wheel back and forth from
steering stop to steering stop to duplicate the noise at the # 1 crossmember attachment. IF THE
NOISE IS NOT DUPLICATED UNDER ONE OF THESE SITUATIONS, INVESTIGATE OTHER
AREAS FOR THE NOISE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO REPAIR THE # 1 CROSSMEMBER
RIVET.
3. INSPECT FRAME BOLTS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION TORQUE:
a. Inspect and tighten all front end components which bolt to the frame to confirm they are at the
proper torque. This includes, but is not limited to:
^ Radius arm bracket bolts - 135 +/- 20 N-m (100 +/- 15 lb.ft.)
^ Axle pivot bracket bolts (torques vary by model - refer to the appropriate light truck Service
Manual for proper torque specifications)
^ Bumper bracket bolts - (refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual for proper torque
specifications)
b. Inspect the transmission crossmember for proper alignment and bolt torques. If misaligned:
^ Loosen all transmission crossmember fasteners (including to the transmission).
^ Lift the transmission to remove any load on the crossmember.
^ Lift and reposition the transmission crossmember to be centered on the frame attachment holes.
^ Tighten all frame fasteners to the 63 +/- 9 N-m (46 +/- 7 lb.ft.).
^ Lower the transmission and tighten fasteners to 95 +/- 15 N-m (70 +/- 11 lb.ft.).
4. TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE
Road test the vehicle again to duplicate the concern. If the noise is still present, continue.
5. INSPECT THE FRAME RIVETS
a. Repeat Step 2 to duplicate the noise in the garage.
b. Use a stethoscope or chassis ears to isolate the area of the chassis that the noise appears to be
originating from. Areas to check include the shock tower rivets and all # 1 crossmember rivets.
6. SERVICE THE VEHICLE
a. If the noise appears to be from the lower left-front # 1 crossmember fastener, follow the
procedure outlined below.
b. If the noise appears to be coming from another rivet (other than the lower left front # 1
crossmember rivet), refer to TSB 93-6-10 for the proper rivet repair procedure.

This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to add certain 1992/94 model year vehicles, to
revise the nut specified in the article and its torque specification, and to expand the diagnostic and
repair procedures contained in the article.
ISSUE:
A "popping/creaking" sound may come from the area of the # 1 crossmember attachment to the left
frame rail. This occurs because of a slip/stick motion at a loose rivet in the lower flange of the
frame near the steering gear. The rivet could be either a standard cold head rivet in light duty
applications or a "huck" rivet, which has the appearance of a large "pop" Civet.
ACTION:
Use the following diagnostic procedure to determine if the noise is originating in this rivet area. If
so, replace the rivet with a nut, bolt and washer assembly. The revised parts increase the clamp
load at the joint, minimizing the motion that causes the noise. Refer to the following procedure for
service details.
SOURCES OF VARIOUS FRONT UNDERBODY NOISES:
Various front underbody noises may originate from several different sources. Several noises have
been misdiagnosed as # 1 crossmember rivet "pop/creak" because the noise tends to propagate to
the shock tower area and the shock tower area acts as an amplifier such that the noises all appear
to be coming from that area. Other underbody areas that produce similar noises include:
^ loose or improperly seated shock tower rivets
^ loose or misaligned transmission crossmembers
^ loose radius arm brackets
^ loose axle pivot brackets
Other service bulletins have been published to address the proper repair of these concerns.
DESCRIPTION OF # 1 CROSSMEMBER NOISES:
"Pop/creak" - A metal-to-metal rubbing motion which slip/sticks when a twist is induced into the
frame.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE:
1. INTERVIEW THE CUSTOMER:
a. Understand the customer's description of the noise and of the conditions under which it is heard.

3. INSPECT FRAME BOLTS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION TORQUE:
a. Inspect and tighten all front end components which bolt to the frame to confirm they are at the
proper torque. This includes, but is not limited to:
^ Radius arm bracket bolts - 135 +/- 20 N-m (100 +/- 15 lb.ft.)
^ Axle pivot bracket bolts (torques vary by model - refer to the appropriate light truck Service
Manual for proper torque specifications)
^ Bumper bracket bolts - (refer to the appropriate light truck Service Manual for proper torque
specifications)
b. Inspect the transmission crossmember for proper alignment and bolt torques. If misaligned:
^ Loosen all transmission crossmember fasteners (including to the transmission).
^ Lift the transmission to remove any load on the crossmember.
^ Lift and reposition the transmission crossmember to be centered on the frame attachment holes.
^ Tighten all frame fasteners to the 63 +/- 9 N-m (46 +/- 7 lb.ft.).

Loss of road speed, hesitation, or engine stall on the subject vehicles operated at ambient
temperatures over 85~F or at elevations over 4,500 feet, may be the result of fuel vaporization. A
modification kit is available for vehicles experiencing this condition. It consists of an in-tank fuel
pump, inertia shut-off switch, motorized fuel selector valve, vapor separator, and a vapor return
system, along with related fuel lines and electrical wiring and devices.
Before this modification is considered, other factors that could result in the same symptoms should
be evaluated. Some of these include:
^ Plugged fuel filter at carburetor or tank.
^ Restricted fuel line.
^ Contaminated or low quality fuel.
^ Malfunctioning fuel pump or carburetor.
If it is determined that the above factors have not caused the customer concern then the
appropriate modification kit should be used to change the fuel system.
Hardware Required:
Components required to modify the vehicle differ with vehicle series, engine model and type of fuel
tank. These have been packaged into 13 different kits. The chart that follows describes the specific

ISSUE: New replacement doors for past model years have a larger lock cylinder hole diameter. A
loose fit will occur when installing the door lock cylinder. The lock cylinder mounting hole diameter
in new doors has been increased in preparation for a new style lock cylinder. New locks will be
phased in for future production.
ACTION: Install a spacer for the larger diameter door lock cylinder mounting hole. Refer to the
following Service Procedure for details.
NOTE:
THE DOOR LOCK CYLINDER SPACER HAS BEEN ADDED TO CERTAIN 1996 MODEL YEAR
VEHICLES TO ELIMINATE THE LOOSE FIT CONDITION FROM THE SMALLER DOOR LOCK
CYLINDER. SOME VEHICLES MAY BE BUILT WITH SPACERS ON ONE SIDE ONLY. THIS IS
DUE TO THE BALANCE OF SUPPLIES OF RIGHT AND LEFT DOORS AT THE ASSEMBLY
PLANTS AT THE TIME OF MODEL YEAR CHANGEOVER.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
DOOR LOCK CYLINDER
INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
1. Whenever the door lock cylinder is removed, check for presence of lock cylinder spacer in the
door in the lock hole. If one is present, check for damage and replace if necessary.

3. Snap a new spacer into the hole from outside the door (Figure 2).
DOOR OR LIFTGATE INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
When replacing the door of liftgate assembly, the new door or liftgate may have the larger lock
cylinder hole. Measure the hole diameter (Figure 2). If dimension "X" is more than 24 mm, then a
spacer is required. If it is less than 24 mm, then a spacer cannot be used.
NOTE:
EVEN IF THE ORIGINAL DOOR HAS A SPACER, ONE IS NOT NEEDED IF THE "X"
DIMENSION IS LESS THAN 24 mm IN THE NEW DOOR.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING SPACER USAGE
The purpose of the spacer is to allow the flexibility of phasing in future lock designs without having
to coordinate doors and locks in production or having to maintain two unique service doors. In
general, the spacers are to be used with new doors (large hole) and old locks. The new doors are
being phased in ahead of the new locks.

following Service Procedure for details.
NOTE:
THE DOOR LOCK CYLINDER SPACER HAS BEEN ADDED TO CERTAIN 1996 MODEL YEAR
VEHICLES TO ELIMINATE THE LOOSE FIT CONDITION FROM THE SMALLER DOOR LOCK
CYLINDER. SOME VEHICLES MAY BE BUILT WITH SPACERS ON ONE SIDE ONLY. THIS IS
DUE TO THE BALANCE OF SUPPLIES OF RIGHT AND LEFT DOORS AT THE ASSEMBLY
PLANTS AT THE TIME OF MODEL YEAR CHANGEOVER.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
DOOR LOCK CYLINDER
INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
1. Whenever the door lock cylinder is removed, check for presence of lock cylinder spacer in the
door in the lock hole. If one is present, check for damage and replace if necessary.

DOOR OR LIFTGATE INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
When replacing the door of liftgate assembly, the new door or liftgate may have the larger lock
cylinder hole. Measure the hole diameter (Figure 2). If dimension "X" is more than 24 mm, then a
spacer is required. If it is less than 24 mm, then a spacer cannot be used.
NOTE:
EVEN IF THE ORIGINAL DOOR HAS A SPACER, ONE IS NOT NEEDED IF THE "X"
DIMENSION IS LESS THAN 24 mm IN THE NEW DOOR.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING SPACER USAGE
The purpose of the spacer is to allow the flexibility of phasing in future lock designs without having
to coordinate doors and locks in production or having to maintain two unique service doors. In
general, the spacers are to be used with new doors (large hole) and old locks. The new doors are
being phased in ahead of the new locks.

This article is being republished in its entirety to clarify the slip yoke application chart.
ISSUE: A "clunk" or "grunt" noise from the vehicle driveline during start-up and stopping drive
modes may be caused by engine torque preventing the slip yoke from sliding smoothly on the
transmission output shaft splines. During the same drive modes, rear suspension wrap-up
overcomes slip yoke-to-output shaft friction causing sudden slip yoke/driveshaft movement, which
results in a "clunk" or "grunt" noise. The affected vehicles are 1978-87 E-250/350 with a C6
transmission; 1981-87 F-150/350 (4x2) with a C6, NPG 435, AOD, TOD, or T18 transmission;
1981-87 E-150 with a C6 or AOD transmission; 1985-86 F- 150/250 (4x4); 1983-87 Ranger (4x2)
and 1986-87 Aerostar.
ACTION: To correct this, install a new design slip yoke with nickel-plated splines to allow for
smooth slip yoke movement. Refer to the appropriate Shop Manual, Section 15-60 for slip yoke
removal and installation procedures. Also, refer to the slip yoke application chart below for the
correct service part number.

ISSUE: Ferrous metal particles (hot iron dust) are generated by manufacturing facilities, rail
shipments, combustion engines, jet engines, body shops, etc. These particles
mechanically/magnetically bond to vehicles' painted surfaces. Moisture and temperature combine
with the particles to create a chemical reaction. The reaction causes the particles to corrode and
enter into the physical paint film.
ACTION: To remove these particles/contaminants, USE ONLY the following procedure. The
procedure must be performed before any buffing, polishing, color sanding or refinishing is
attempted. The materials in this procedure are alkaline, acidic and neutral. They must be used in
the specified order.
CAUTION:
ANY CHANGES TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE OR
UNSATISFACTORY REPAIR AND MAY RESULT IN

away the paint.
NOTE:
IN EXTREME CASES ETCHING OF THE SURFACE WILL BE VISIBLE OR FELT.
DECONTAMINATION
Use Finish Kare Inc. products 1119/883/11850 to decontaminate the paint surface. Follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedures.
NOTE:
FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF OXALIC ACIDS OR OTHER "FALLOUT
REMOVERS".
1. Rinse off dust and debris with cold water. Be sure to start at the bottom and work up.
2. Prepare product "1119" by mixing one (1) part "1119" with four (4) parts cold water.
3. Use clean wash mitt and apply mixture to entire car, starting at the bottom and working up to the
top surface. Keep car wet with the solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not allow product to dry on the
car, and do not allow it to streak down the sides. Rewipe with mitt if necessary to avoid streaks.
4. Rinse car with cold water.
5. Dry the flat surfaces of the vehicle hood, roof and deck lid.
6. Apply product "883" directly to the contaminated surfaces using a clean dry sponge, wash mitt,
or soft truck brush ("883" is ready to use from the bottle, with no mixing involved). Keep the areas
wet with the "883" for 5 to 7 minutes. Do not allow to dry on the car. Wipe down to the body line on
the sides.
7. Prepare product "118SC" by mixing 1 oz (0.03 L) with 1 gal (3.785 L) of water.
8. Shampoo the vehicle with "118SC" shampoo mixture using a clean wash mitt and then rinse with
cold water.
NOTE:
DO NOT USE "1185C" MITT WITH "1119" OR "883" SOLUTIONS. USE SEPARATE MITTS AND
ALWAYS KEEP THEM SEPARATE.
9. Inspect paint surface to see if rust particles have been removed. If rust particles have been on
the vehicle for a long time, it may be necessary to repeat each of the above steps.
NOTE:
THE NEUTRALIZER CONCENTRATE IS A HEAVY DUTY SHAMPOO AND CAN BE USED IN AN
AUTOMATIC CAR WASH SYSTEM.

CORRECTION OF SURFACE FOLLOWING DECONTAMINATION:
1. Visually inspect surface for evidence of removal of ferrous metal particles, crystalline deposits
and water spots. Acid rain discoloring or etching will require either buffing, color sanding or
refinishing if etching is visible.
2. Use the buffing products from only one (1) manufacturer. Do not intermix products.
3. Always follow the manufacturer's product sequence. Use appropriate pads with each product as
recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE MORE THAN 0.3 OF A MIL OF PAINT MATERIAL, OR REPAINTING WILL BE
REQUIRED.
4. Use a dual action sander (D/A Sander) with a velcro-mount backing plate and appropriate foam
pad for final polishing swirl removal.
5. Use an alcohol and water mixture (1:4 ratio) to clean buffed areas to verify removal of scratches
and swirls before application of final protective glaze.
NOTE:
FREQUENT WASHING OF VEHICLES IS IMPORTANT. CONTAMINANTS SETTLE ONTO THE
VEHICLE EVERY DAY. USE CLEAN WATER (DEIONIZED, REVERSE OSMOSIS, ETC.) TWICE
WEEKLY TO REMOVE HEAVY DUST, AND PARTICULATES. THE USE OF A NEUTRAL pH
CAR WASH SOAP EVERY TWO (2) WEEKS IS RECOMMENDED TO NEUTRALIZE VEHICLE
CONTAMINATION.

ISSUE: This procedure is being published to advise all body and paint technicians about proper
procedures for preparation of sheet metal parts coated with electrodeposition primer (E-Coat).
ACTION: When prepping a replacement body panel for installation, it is mandatory to leave the
E-Coat intact. DO NOT SAND OFF THE E-COAT.
Improper preparation with excessive sanding of the E-Coat to bare metal will jeopardize the sheet
metal warranty and overall customer satisfaction. In particular, the E-Coat is necessary to protect
the parts from rust. Light scuff sanding using a Scotch Brite pad or wet 320 grit sand paper is
recommended for minor flaws. If a minor flaw exists, wet sand or scuff out the flaw and prime the
repair area. Again, do not remove all of the E-Coat from the panel.

ALTERNATIVE SANDING PROCEDURES WHEN EXTENSIVE SANDING IS REQUIRED
The following procedures for sheet metal preparation by sanding or media blasting are based on
tests conducted by Ford Motor Company in accordance with requirements set forth in the Federal
OSHA Inorganic Lead Standard 29 CFR 1910.1025.
SANDING PROCEDURE
1. Each technician performing the sanding operation MUST wear an approved respirator with high
efficiency particulate filter (HEPA).
2. Technicians should use dual action sander with vacuum collection.
3. The vacuum equipment MUST be equipped with a HEPA filter on the air exhaust. Dealers are
cautioned not to exhaust vacuum air into the atmosphere. Operators are cautioned to follow the
manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and the replacement of filters.
MEDIA BLASTING PROCEDURE
1. Testing has shown that plastic media blasting meets OSHA lead standard requirements and is
efficient when the manufacturer's published procedures are followed.
2. The operator must wear an air supplied hood using compressed air free from carbon monoxide,
oil, water, and other contamination when performing this operation. Specifics of the media blasting
procedure for whole body paint removal have been previously published.

The cosmetic paint surface service procedures outlined below are reprinted from Article Number
82-3-3 dated February 18, 1982. Many of these procedures and techniques described have been
incorporated along with several other helpful procedures in a video tape which is now available.
This video tape describes paint and soft facia service procedures developed by Ford Motor
Company Assembly plants to correct minor concerns. After seeing the video tape and with practice,
a technician or body shop employee should be able to do the following:
^ Remove most minor dings and dents (without filling and repainting), by using special metal
massaging service tools.
^ Remove hood and deck depressions without filling and repainting.
^ Remove trapped dirt particles and still preserve the original paint finish.
^ Service minor scratches that do not cut through into the prime or metal.
^ Service orange peel without repainting.
^ Service sags and runs without repainting.
^ Remove surface stains with a heat gun.
^ Make soft facia services on many punctures and tears in plastic parts without replacement.
^ Service damaged abrasion resistant coating.
^ Properly paint over E-coating.
The video tape is titled, "Cosmetic Paint and Surface Repairs" and is available in 3/4 inch Umatic
UMC, Order Number 4651-025; or 1/2 inch VHS, Order Number 4651-025.

Exterior paint surface damage or imperfections of a nature where the prime coat does not show
can, in most instances, be restored without repainting. The restoration of gloss and luster after the
condition has been removed is made possible by new and improved service materials and
procedures. The following procedure is applicable to surface conditions such as dirt particles,
orange peel, runs, sags, industrial fallout stains, swirl marks, light scratches and other minor
imperfections. Usually, these conditions are localized and it is not necessary to restore the entire
panel. However, in a case such as dirt particles or scratches in several localized areas, it is
recommended that the entire panel be restored to maintain a uniform appearance.
FIGURE 5
Preparation
Before starting the service, the affected surface must be clean and dry. Mask off adjacent panels,
mouldings, stripes and character lines as required (Figure 5). Where applicable, eye protection,
face mask and a belt buckle cover should be worn.

Service Procedure
The basic concept of the procedure is to remove the defect condition, and then restore the finish to
an acceptable appearance. As a general guideline, remember that sanding marks are removed
with rubbing compound and the swirl marks evident after buffing are removed by polishing. As an
example, light scratches or small dirt particles can be removed with a power buffer and medium
buffing compound followed by polishing. Deeper scratches, heavy dirt particles or orange peel must
be wet sanded, buffed with compound to remove the sanding marks and then polished to remove
the swirl marks from the buffing operation.
It is suggested with initial service attempts, that technicians develop a learning cycle by picking a
small service area and first try polishing, then buffing and finally wet sanding to remove the
condition. When you have determined which method is appropriate, proceed with the remaining
area to be serviced and then restore the finish as required. The following outlines the complete
procedure and required materials.
FIGURE 6
Polishing
For removal of very minor scratches, swirl marks and/or to restore luster to a dull finish.
Apply a small amount of 3M Final Glaze to the affected panel (Figure 6) and using a suitable
electric or air powered polish/buffing wheel (2000 max. rpm) and a 3M Superbuff 2 + 2 Pad, polish
the affected area until all swirl marks are gone and desired luster is obtained. When polishing, keep
the pad flat against the surface. Do not bear down, the weight of the buffer is sufficient. Add Final
Glaze sparingly as needed. Compound
For removal of light scratches, small dirt particles, minor grind marks and sanding marks.

FIGURE 8
Apply 3M Superduty Rubbing Compound (medium) to the panel and using a clean 2 + 2 pad on the
wheel (as noted above) spread the compound evenly and buff the surface until the condition is
removed; or in the case of a sanded area, the sanding marks are gone and the luster is restored to
an acceptable level for polishing (Figure 7 and Figure 8). When buffing, keep the wheel flat to the
surface using light to moderate pressure and long even strokes. Periodically check the finish and
add compound as required. When buffing is complete, polish the panel as described above.
Sanding
For removal of severe conditions such as heavy dirt particles, deep scratches and orange peel.
This wet sanding procedure utilizes 3M Ultra Fine Imperial Wetordry Color Sanding Paper to
facilitate removal of surface damage. The Ultra Fine paper cuts quickly leaving a uniform finish that
requires a minimum of buffing to restore the luster.
FIGURE 9
1. Soak the 3M Imperial Wetordry Paper and a 3M Imperial Wetordry Sponge Pad thoroughly in
clean water and wrap the paper around the pad as shown in Figure 9.

FIGURE 10
2. Using a clean sponge, wet the area to be sanded. It is essential that the paper be kept wet as
sanding proceeds (Figure 10).
FIGURE 11
3. Wet sand the affected area with light even pressure on the pad with back and forth strokes (not
circular). Do a small area at a time (Figure 11).
FIGURE 12
4. Frequently dip the pad and paper in water to wash off sanding residue (Figure 12).

FIGURE 13
5. Frequently flood or squeegee off the affected surface to check depth of cut and to see if the
defect is removed. The amount of paint surface that is being sanded can be judged as the area
dulls (Figure 13).
FIGURE 14
6. Water wash the affected area to determine if all surface defects have been removed. Note the
uniform dull appearance of an evenly sanded panel (Figure 14). If the surface is not uniform, lightly
resand the area.

7. Wash and squeegee off the panel and check to assure that all defects are removed and sanding
is complete. Then proceed with the buffing and polish procedures to restore the luster to the finish.
8. Figure 15 shows a hood panel which has been sanded, buffed and polished on one section to
illustrate the effectiveness of the procedure.
Runs and Sags
The service of runs and sags in nonmetallic paint is covered in the previously released training
publication "The Wet Look." This procedure, which consists of shaving the run or sag flush with a
commercial single edge razor blade, sanding with a hard block and then compounding, can now be
improved by finishing the service with Final Glaze. It is recommended that minor sags and runs be
wet sanded with 600 grit paper. If it is necessary to shave them off with a razor blade, first dull the
corners with sandpaper to avoid scratching the adjacent panel finish.

LIGHT TRUCK: 1989 and prior ALL LIGHT TRUCK LINES
ISSUE: Paint may be damaged from various sources of airborn materials. The two different types
are:
^ Inorganic
^ Organic
Sometimes it is hard to identify the type of paint damage and know how to remove it. This TSB
article gives detailed information and descriptions of both types of airborn materials. It also outlines
the service procedures for treating them.
ACTION: If service is required, identify the source of damage involved by referring to the following
information. Use the following recommended service procedure to correct concerns.
INORGANIC AIRBORN MATERIAL
The effects of inorganic airborn materials can be seen as:
^ Dark blotches in the paint where the pigment in the paint surface has been attacked
^ Irregular spots that are cracked or etched around the edges and dull in the centers.
^ Small orange colored spots caused by iron particles may appear on the paint surface.
Generally, materials that attack a paint film are either acidic or alkaline in nature.
Sulfuric and nitric acids, in general, cause extreme damage to automative paint finishes. Even very
small concentrations of the same materials can cause chemical spotting damage. Due to
evaporation and condensation, these acids can create severe etching "spots" that may eventually
crack or lift the paint film after some time in service.
Although some automotive finishes are more resistant than others, none are completely immune to
these chemicals. The most resistant paints used today are the urethanes because their resin
system is least likely to react with chemicals. Air dry coatings are more susceptible to attack only
when they are fresh. The longer the paint dries the more resistant it becomes.

Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 4158
Metallic colors are more intolerant to chemicals because aluminum flake is fairly reactive with either
an acid or alkali. The following chart contains the most common acid materials found on automotive
finishes. The chart shows a color, the corresponding damage appearance and also the chemical
causal agent. It is not applicable for Basecoat/Clearcoat finishes.
* "Caustic" refers to any alkaline substance that may be "harsh" or "corrosive" depending on
strength or concentration.
The following "pH" chart show the relationship between acidic and alkaline chemicals and their
corresponding pH values. This chart is provided for informational reference only. ORGANIC
AIRBORN MATERIALS
Organic damage is generally easier to identify. Organic damage is mostly due to tree sap, bird and
insect droppings, dead insects (Figure 8) and pollen. Tree sap is easily identified by clear raised
drops that may be hard or sticky. Bee or bug dropping spots may appear brownish or yellow in
color, about an eighth to a quarter inch in diameter. Dead and decomposing insect bodies are
readily visible to the eye. Pollen deposits are small yellow clusters. Each of these items is
potentially damaging to any currently available paint system. Other noticeable traits of organic
damage are spots that are raised (swelling) micro-crazing (cracked) and pitting, due to pollen
eating into the paint film. The active ingredients in most organic contaminants are tannic and formic
acids . These acids are found in berries and bodily fluids of insects and birds.
Investigations completed at dealerships show that the bright lot lights tend to attract insects. The
use of "soft lights" for display and storage lot illumination will help reduce damage resulting from
decomposing bugs and droppings by decreasing the number of bugs attracted to these lights.
Organic damage is accelerated by heat. During very hot weather conditions, it is important to wash
vehicles more often.
ORGANIC AND INORGANIC REPAIR PROCEDURES FOR MILD DAMAGE
Iron dust particles may imbed themselves into the paint film. On some light colored vehicles after
some weathering, tiny dots of rust start to appear. They

Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 4159
feel rough to the touch and are difficult to remove. The best way to remove these particles is by
treating the finish with an oxalic acid-detergent-water wash. Use the following procedure to perform
this service repair.
NOTE: OXALIC ACID WASH IS ALSO PRE-PACKAGED IN VARIOUS STRENGTHS UNDER
VARIOUS BRAND NAMES, IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO MIX YOUR OWN BATCHES.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle first, using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or
equivalent, and a suitable wax and grease remover. If this does not remove all of the iron particles,
proceed with the oxalic acid wash.
2. Prepare a quantity of oxalic acid-detergent-water solution as follows:
a. Dissolve 6-8 ounces of Oxalic Acid (powder) in one gallon of warm water.
b. Add 1-2 tablespoons full of non-alkaline detergent such as Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner.
3. Apply this solution liberally to all affected surfaces of the vehicle with a large sponge. Keep the
surface wet until the technician can no longer feel any surface roughness with bare or gloved
fingertips.
NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THOROUGHLY, STAINING MAY REDEVELOP IF IRON
PARTICLES ARE LEFT BEHIND.
4. Rinse the area with clean water.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO THOROUGHLY RINSE THIS SURFACE COULD RESULT IN
CORROSION OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM OR
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS WITH PROLONGED CONTACT.
5. If the iron particles are not totally removed after 2 washings, use one or both of the procedures
listed for minor chemical contamination.
NOTE: THE USE OF POLISHING (WITH WAX), SANDING WITH MICRO FINE SANDPAPER
(1500 GRIT OR GREATER) OR BUFFING WITH VERY LIGHT COMPOUND SHOULD ONLY BE
DONE AS A LAST RESORT.
CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION
Chemical contamination, either acid or alkali, can cause off-color spots and crack the paint film. In
the presence of moisture (dew), sulfur contamination will change the color (light/dark) of the paint
pigments. (This does not apply to Basecoat/Clearcoat)
Since this contamination affects the pigments, lacquers and enamels show no difference in
resistance. Production thermal drying and air drying finishes are likely to be spotted.
Minor chemical contamination can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash the vehicle first by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B) or equivalent to
remove the exterior foreign materials.
2. If the spotting is extensive and on the horizontal surfaces, then machine polish.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected surface by using a soft brush. The
compound should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to
get maximum cutting efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots using a buffer operating at 1700-1800 rpm. Confine polishing to the spotted
areas. Repeat as necessary until all spots have been removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all contamination.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 4160
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OR SAND OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
ORGANIC MATERIAL REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR MILD DAMAGE
Minor organic damage can be removed by using the following step by step procedure.
1. Wash and degrease the vehicle thoroughly by using Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner (B8A-19523-B)
or equivalent and a wax and grease remover to remove all organics.
2. Inspect the vehicle horizontal surfaces. If spotting or paint film swelling is extensive, use a buffer
to repair.
3. Apply a light grit polishing compound to the affected areas by using a soft brush. The compound
should be applied to a small area at a time so that it can be buffed out while still wet to get
maximum efficiency.
4. Polish off the spots or swelling marks using a buffer that operates between 1700-1800 rpm.
Polishing should be confined to the affected areas only. Repeat as necessary until all spots or
marks are removed.
5. Remove spots on curved surfaces, near edges, and next to mouldings or ornaments by hand
polishing as follows:
a. Apply some polishing compound to a cotton cloth. (Do not use a synthetic cloth.)
b. Rub vigorously until the spots are no longer visible.
c. Clean off excess polishing compound by using a clean cloth and compressed air.
6. Buff out the polishing marks and bring up the gloss by using a buffer equipped with a clean, dry
lambs wool pad.
NOTE: IF POLISHING DOES NOT SUFFICIENTLY REMOVE DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE CAN BE
WET SANDED USING 1500 GRIT SANDPAPER AND THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
Wet Sanding Procedure
1. Clean the exterior surface of the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose cleaner or an equivalent to
remove all organics.
2. Apply 1500 grit sandpaper to a rubber padded sanding block to sand the paint surface.
3. Use a squirt bottle filled with water to lubricate the 1500 grit sandpaper as you begin to sand only
the damaged areas. Water is an abrasive as well as a lubricant in this step.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE HAS GONE DEEPLY INTO THE PAINT FILM AND IT WILL NOT
POLISH OUT, THEN REFINISHING IS REQUIRED.
PAINT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURES FOR SEVERE DAMAGE
Acrylic enamel single stage or base/clear paint systems should be painted by using the following
procedure.
1. .Wash the vehicle with Ford Multi Purpose Cleaner or equivalent to remove all organic materials.
2. Wash the areas to be painted with wax and grease remover.
3. Prepare the area as follows:
a. Neutralize the affected areas with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and water.
b. Rinse the surface off with plain water.
c. Wash the panel with a mild soapy detergent.
d. Dry the panel completely.
NOTE: IF THE DAMAGE IS THROUGH THE TOP COAT FINISH AND INTO THE PRIMERS, THE
PANEL MUST BE SANDED DOWN TO BARE METAL OR PLASTIC AND THEN REFINISHED.

Ford Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Paint - Iron Particle Removal > Page 4161
4. Apply a self-etching primer for metal surfaces only.
NOTE: A FLEX ADDITIVE MAY BE NECESSARY WHEN WORKING WITH FLEXIBLE PLASTICS
Then proceed as follows:
a. Let dry per instructions.
b. Apply a two component urethane primer surfacer.
c. Sand the surface with 400 grit sandpaper to get to proper finish.
d. Finish sanding with 600 grit sandpaper.
5. Solvent wash panel with wax and grease remover. Then, tack wipe it.
6. Apply base coat or top coat material per applicable paint system.
NOTE: THE USE OF ACRYLIC URETHANE ENAMEL IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THIS
TYPE OF REPAIR.
7. Apply clear acrylic urethane if you are using a base/clear paint system.
WAYS TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS OF AIRBORN MATERIAL DAMAGE
During the past year, Ford Motor Company and major paint suppliers have participated in a survey
to analyze the effects of airborn materials. This survey was conducted on foreign and domestic
vehicles. It resulted in the following interesting conclusions.
1. Keeping the vehicles clean, washing frequently with de-ionized water and drying by hand or
mechanical means will help minimize the effects of inorganic and organic materials.
2. Spray washing without rubbing will not totally remove all residue on the surface of the vehicle.
Damage could possibly occur over a longer period of time.
3. Care should be taken to not allow any painted vehicle surface to become wet in direct sunlight.
(A sprinkler system can cause damage if the vehicles are not dried.) Possible alkaline water or
mineral deposit may be the cause.
4. The use of "Soft Lights" for lighting around storage lots and showing areas will minimize the
attraction of insects and the possibility of organic damage.
5. Ford Motor Company is piloting a program for a transit/storage coating to be applied on the
horizontal surfaces of all vehicles. These coatings have shown good protection to the paint surface.
They are clear in color and should be left on the vehicles until they are sold.
6. We are testing many "permanent paint sealants" used by dealers. Until all testing is completed,
we cannot give any recommendations for what products to use. Testing has shown that a sealant
that allows water to bead up on the vehicle does not help to dissipate the materials on the paint
surface. Sheeting of water on the vehicle is highly desirable.

The ammeter is an instrument used to indicate current flow into and out of the battery. When
electrical accessories in the vehicle draw more current than the alternator can supply, current flows
from the battery and the ammeter indicates a discharge ( - ) condition. When electrical loads of the
vehicle are less than alternator output, current is available to charge the battery, and the ammeter
indicates a charge (+) condition. If battery is fully charged, the voltage regulator reduces alternator
output to meet only immediate vehicle electrical loads. When this happens, ammeter reads zero.
Fig. 1 Conventional type ammeter
CONVENTIONAL AMMETER
A conventional ammeter must be connected between the battery and alternator in order to indicate
current flow. This type ammeter, Fig. 1, consists of a frame to which a permanent magnet is
attached. The frame also supports an armature and pointer assembly. Current in this system flows
from the alternator through the ammeter, then to the battery or from the battery through the
ammeter into the vehicle electrical system, depending on vehicle operating conditions. When no
current flows through the ammeter, the magnet holds the pointer armature so that the pointer
stands at the center of the dial. When current passes in either direction through the ammeter, the
resulting magnetic field attracts the armature away from the effect of the permanent magnet, thus
giving a reading proportional to the strength of the current flowing.
Troubleshooting When the ammeter apparently fails to register correctly, there may be trouble in
the wiring which connects the ammeter to the alternator and battery or in the alternator or battery
itself. To check the connections, first tighten the two terminal posts on the back of the ammeter.
Then, following each wire from the ammeter, tighten all connections on the ignition switch, battery
and alternator. Chafed, burned or broken insulation can be found by following each ammeter wire
from end to end. All wires with chafed, burned or broken insulation should be repaired or replaced.
After this is done, and all connections are tightened, connect the battery cable and turn on the
ignition switch. The needle should point slightly to the discharge ( - ) side. Start the engine and run
slightly above idling speed. The needle should move slowly to the charge side (+). If the pointer
does not move as indicated, the ammeter is out of order and should be replaced.
SHUNT TYPE AMMETER The shunt type ammeter is actually a specifically calibrated voltmeter. It
is connected to read voltage drop across a resistance wire (shunt) between the battery and
alternator. The shunt is located either in the vehicle wiring or within the ammeter itself. When
voltage is higher at the alternator end of the shunt, the meter indicates a charge (+) condition.
When voltage is higher at the battery end of the shunt, the meter indicates a discharge ( - )
condition. When voltage is equal at both ends of the shunt, the meter reads zero. Troubleshooting
Ammeter accuracy can be determined by comparing reading with an ammeter of known accuracy.
1. With engine stopped and ignition switch in RUN position, switch on headlamps and heater fan.
Meter should indicate a discharge ( - ) condition.
2. If ammeter pointer does not move, check ammeter terminals for proper connection and check for
open circuit in wiring harness. If connections and wiring harness are satisfactory, ammeter is
defective.
3. If ammeter indicates a charge (+) condition, wiring harness connections are reversed at
ammeter.

Clock: Testing and Inspection
Regulation of electric clocks is accomplished automatically by resetting the time. If the clock is
running fast, the action of turning the hands back to correct the time will automatically cause the
clock to run slightly slower. If the clock is running slow, the action of turning the hands forward to
correct the time will automatically cause the clock to run slightly faster (10 to 15 seconds daily). A
lockout feature prevents the clock regulator mechanism from being reset more than once per wind
cycle, regardless of the number of times the time is reset. After the clock rewinds, if the time is then
reset, automatic regulation will take place. If a clock varies over 10 minutes per day, it will never
adjust properly and must be repaired or replaced.
WINDING CLOCK WHEN CONNECTING BATTERY OR CLOCK WIRING The clock requires
special attention when reconnecting a battery that has been disconnected for any reason, a clock
that has been disconnected, or when replacing a blown clock fuse. It is very important that the
initial wind be fully made. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all other instruments and lights are turned off.
2. Connect positive cable to battery.
3. Before connecting the negative cable, press the terminal to its post on the battery. Immediately
afterward, strike the terminal against the battery post to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark,
allow the clock to run down until it stops ticking, and repeat as above until there is no spark. Then
immediately make the permanent connection before the clock can again run down. The clock will
run down in approximately two minutes.
4. Reset clock after all connections have been made. The foregoing procedure should also be
followed when reconnecting the clock after it has been disconnected, or if it has stopped because
of a blown fuse. Be sure to disconnect battery before installing a new fuse.
TROUBLESHOOTING If clock does not run, check for blown ``clock'' fuse. If fuse is blown, check
for short in wiring. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit. With an electric clock, the most
frequent cause of clock fuse blowing is voltage at the clock which will prevent a complete wind and
allow clock contacts to remain closed. This may be caused by any of the following: discharged
battery, corrosion on contact surface of battery terminals, loose connections at battery terminals, at
junction block, at fuse clips, or at terminal connection of clock. Therefore, if in reconnecting battery
or clock it is noted that the clock is not ticking, always check for blown fuse, or examine the circuits
at the points indicated above to determine and correct the cause.

ISSUE: The accuracy of speedometer/odometer readings may be influenced by several vehicle
components or systems. The information in this TSB article is intended to assist technicians in
speedometer/odometer concern diagnosis.
ACTION: Use the following supplemental information below to assist in speedometer/odometer
diagnostics.
OPERATION
A mechanical analog speedometer displays vehicle speed and the odometer displays total distance
traveled. The speedometer/odometer assembly is cable driven by either a transmission or a
transaxle. All speedometer/odometer assemblies, except for police vehicles are the same with
respect to the speed accuracy tolerance used during calibration. The odometer gear ratio is fixed
so that all are identical and have no error in the speedometer head.
Electronic digital operation is similar. It could use a drive cable or a speed sensor to drive the
speedometer/odometer. An electronic signal is sent from a speed sensor to the digital
speedometer/ odometer assembly. The speed sensor is driven by a transmission or a transaxle,
similar to a cable.
Several areas of concern that may affect speedometer/ odometer readings are tires, axle gear ratio
and speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears.
TIRES
Improper tire rolling radius and inflation pressure, temperature and size may contribute to
inaccurate system readings. System accuracy testing should be performed after the tires are set at
the correct pressure as shown on the safety compliance certification label. The tires should be
warmed for a short period. Best results are obtained on smooth, dry pavement while driving at a
constant speed within the posted speed limit.
AXLE/TRANSAXLE RATIO
The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or
check if the proper speedometer/odometer drive and driven gears are present. Various gear ratios
are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns
unless the gear ratio has been changed.
WARNING: NEVER CORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS BY CHANGING GEARS UNLESS
THE ODOMETER IS ALSO OFF. DRIVE/DRIVEN GEARS
The speedometer/odometer drive gear is located inside the transmission, transaxle or transfer case
and is not easily accessed for change. The driven gear rotates the speedometer cable. Rear wheel
drive vehicles have several driven gears with various numbers of teeth available to correct input to
the speedometer/odometer head. Front wheel drive vehicles generally do not offer different gears
for correction.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The maximum allowable odometer system accuracy error is +/- 3.75% of the actual distance
traveled. Ford Motor vehicles are well within those limits.
The speed indication is biased high, except on police vehicles with certified calibration
speedometers/ odometers. As a general rule, the indicated speed is equal to or greater than the
actual speed. This is intended to protect the consumer against violating speed laws. Most customer
concerns are related to speedometers reading too high at true speeds between 50 MPH and 65
MPH (80 - 105 Km/h). At that speed range, the worst case errors may indicate a speed that is 10%
greater than true speed.
The speedometer head is an instrument which processes information sent to it by the rotating
speedometer cable. If the system components send the

Technical Service Bulletins > Speedometer/Odometer - Inaccurate Readings > Page 4289
wrong number of revolution per mile to the speedometer head, an inaccurate speed reading and
amount of distanced traveled will be displayed. Since there is no error in the fixed gear ratio of the
speedometer head odometer, start by checking the accuracy of the odometer even if the customer
concern indicates a speed accuracy problem. Odometer accuracy can be checked by using roads
established at mile increments or a known local course. If roads with mile markers are used, a five
mile stretch is recommended to allow for inaccuracies. If an error is greater than 3.75%, a change
to the transmission drive/driven gear selection, tire size, or tire inflation may need attention. The
odometer should be checked again to verify any corrective action. If the indicated speed error
exceeds 10% between 50 MPH and 60 MPH (80 - 105 Km/h), replace the speedometer/odometer
assembly. Vehicles with transfer cases that have fluctuating readings may be due to slippage of
drive gears, parts not splined or loose yoke nuts.
If the vehicle has speed control, the speed accuracy can be checked using the verified odometer
vs. time. The formula is as follows:
3600 divided by TIME (seconds to cover one mile) = TRUE MPH (Km/h) EXAMPLES:
60 MPH (96 Km/h) requires 60 seconds to cover one mile
55 MPH (88 Km/h) requires 65 and 3/4 seconds to cover one mile
50 MPH (80 Km/h) requires 72 seconds to cover one mile

Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit--which is an oil pressure switch. The oil
pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed contacts in the
pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses the diaphragm,
opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If
it does not light, disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or
cylinder block. Then if the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the
bulb. If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the
engine unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight
and properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground). If the warning light remains
lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before proceeding further to determine
the cause for a low pressure indication. The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the
engine is idling, even though the oil pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when
the engine speed is increased.

Speedometer Cable: Testing and Inspection
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken. On vehicles are equipped with speed control, there is a speed sensor attached to
the transmission. This is used to sense the revolutions of cable assembly and to regulate speed
control.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink
in the housing. A cable might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such
cases, the speedometer head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is
installed. A ``jumpy'' pointer condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to
a dry or kinked speedometer cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing
down the pointer. The cable then unwinds and the pointer ``jumps.'' To check for kinks, remove the
cable, lay it on a flat surface and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is
not kinked. But if part of the cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be
replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

The gear ratio of the rear axle or the final drive ratio of the transaxle must be known to select or

are available, but usually are not a concern when dealing with speedometer/odometer concerns
unless the gear ratio has been changed.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Dash Gauge Test
Gauge failures are often caused by defective wiring or grounds. The first step in locating trouble
should be a thorough inspection of all wiring, terminals and printed circuits. If wiring is secured by
clamps, check to see whether the insulation has been severed, thereby grounding the wire. In the
case of a fuel gauge installation, rust may cause failure by corrosion at the ground connection of
the tank unit. The Constant Voltage Regulator (CVR) type indicator is a bimetal-resistance type
system consisting of an Instrument Voltage Regulator (IVR), an indicator gauge, and a variable
resistance sending unit. Current to the system is applied to the gauge terminals by the IVR, which
maintains an average-pulsating value of 5 volts. The indicator gauge consists of a pointer which is
attached to a wire-wound bimetal strip. Current passing through the coil heats the bimetal strip,
causing the pointer to move. As more current passes through the coil, heat increases, moving the
pointer farther. The circuit is completed through a sending unit which contains a variable resistor.
When resistance is high, less current is allowed to pass through the gauge, and the pointer moves
very little. As resistance decreases due to changing conditions in system being monitored, more
current passes through gauge coil, causing pointer to move farther. Do not apply battery voltage to
system or ground output terminals of IVR, as damage to system components or wiring circuits may
result.
DASH GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect battery ground cable and remove gauge from vehicle.
2. Connect ohmmeter between gauge terminals and read coil winding resistance.
3. An upward movement of ohmmeter needle from 10 ohms to 14 ohms is normal, as test current
of ohmmeter causes a temperature rise in gauge coil windings.
4. If ohmmeter reads below 10 ohms or above 14 ohms, gauge is defective.

Temperature Gauge: Testing and Inspection Electrical Temperature Gauges
This temperature indicating system consists of a sending unit, located on the cylinder head,
electrical temperature gauge and an instrument voltage regulator. As engine temperature increases
or decreases, the resistance of the sending unit changes, in turn controlling current flow to the
gauge. When engine temperature is low, the resistance of the sending unit is high, restricting
current flow to the gauge, in turn indicating low engine temperature. As engine temperature
increases, the resistance of the ending unit decreases, permitting an increased current flow to the
gauge, resulting in an increased temperature reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions
included with the tester.

A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head control the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a
burned out bulb, an open in the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch. If the red light is lit when
the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a ground, defective
temperature switch, or overheated cooling system. As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is
functioning properly, a wire which is connected to the ground terminal of the ignition switch is
tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the ``Start'' (engine cranking) position, the ground
terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will be lit. When the engine is started and
the ignition switch is in the ``On'' position, the test circuit is opened and the bulb is then controlled
by the temperature switch.

> Testing and Inspection
Volt Meter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
The voltmeter is a gauge which measures the electrical flow from the battery to indicate whether
the battery output is within tolerances. The voltmeter reading can range from 13.5---14.0 volts
under normal operating conditions. If an undercharge or overcharge condition is indicated for an
extended period, the battery and charging system should be checked.
TROUBLESHOOTING To check voltmeter, turn key and headlights on with engine off. Pointer
should move to 12.5 volts. If no needle movement is observed, check connections from battery to
circuit breaker. If connections are tight and meter shows no movement, check wire continuity. If
wire continuity is satisfactory, the meter is inoperative and must be replaced.

Article No. 83-21-14
TRANSFER CASE - NP208 - RATCHETING NOISE, INCOMPLETE DISENGAGEMENT - (4x4)
LIGHT TRUCKS 1980-84 F-150/250, BRONCO
Effective in production February 1, 1983, the New Process Gear 208 transfer case assembly
incorporated a new mainshaft assembly featuring a positive stop to prevent 4-wheel drive
disengagement. The overall width of the sliding clutch decreases from 1.262 to 1.080 inches to
accomodate the positive stop.
Some transfer case assembled built after February 1, 1983 may have been assembled with the
wide (1.262 inch) sliding clutch and with the new design mainshaft incorporating the "positive stop"
design. This mismatching of parts results in either incomplete engagement or disengagement
causing an interference or "ratcheting" condition. To eliminate objectionable "ratcheting" noise in
the transfer case on any 1983 F-150/250 4x4, or Bronco vehicle built after February 1, 1983 or any
previously serviced vehicles, the sliding clutch; mainshaft, sliding clutch, and modeshift spring
service assembly kit, E3TZ-7061-L should be installed using all parts.
The part numbers listed below as "obsolete" are no longer released for service and should not be
used due to potential of "mismatching" components. Each individual service kit is now replaced by
one kit, Part No. E3TZ-7061-L, which includes a mainshaft, sliding mode clutch, and a modeshift
spring.

LIGHT TRUCKS ALL MODEL YEARS AND ALL LINES WITH LOW FLUID WARNING LIGHT
On some vehicles equipped with low fluid warning light, the light may stay on even when the
washer reservoir is full. This is caused by using washer fluid concentrate (C9AZ-19550-A/B) that
has not been mixed with water according to the instructions. The undiluted washer solution is
absorbed by the float resulting in the float sinking.
When filling the washer reservoir with washer fluid concentrate (C9AZ-19550-A/B), the instructions
on the can must be followed. Mixing the concentrated washer fluid with water will stop the float
from sinking.
