Well, got to my truck in the AM. Started it up and oil pressure went right up, no knocking. Got it to my shop and changed the oil. Those of you who thought it was a restricted oil screen were correct, thank God. I've had this happen three times in my life. This is the only happy ending. I'm...

So, I'm driving home from work in the pouring rain. I noticed the truck was louder than usual. I lean closer and hear my engine making noise. I look down and...no oil pressure. I get off at the next exit and listen. I have an audible tapping in the top of the engine. Still no oil pressure. The...

Need a stock '73 steering wheel with horn button (not half moon), horn button pad, spring, plate and contact plate.

The female connector to the brake light switch is burnt and has been repaired in the past. It's a moot point now that I have no power to it. I have bigger issues.

So I got under the dash to chech for bad wires and connections. In the process, I lost all power again. I can see one cut wire going into my gauge cluster. It's hard to get colors because the wires were all painted, and the aftermarket radio adds to the jumble. Prior to losing power I got 12v...

I've got power to running lights and reverse lights at the socket. The reading is .07 v. The rear connector had some worn wires that I had to patch. Re-did the ground just in case. Still nothing. Don't know where to begin in dash.

I did. Grounds were good, but there were some exposed wires that I needed to patch. That's what's got me concerned - all of the worn out wires I'm discovering.

This is a breakout thread from my other electrical dramas - I have no rear lights at all, including brake lights. Hazards and turn signals DO work, but running lights do not work. Turn signals were acting sporatic previously, but seem fine now. I've scoured the threads and checked out the...

When it has no power it is 100% dead. No headlights, no anything. When headlights work, then the truck starts. When it does get power, I still lack some functions - some gauges, and all tail lights, plus running lights. Turn signals and flashers work. Heater, wipers, etc. all work. It's...

Here's my update - The truck was starting when I began my work. Still no rear lights (back-up, tail) or running lights. That's probably another issue. I replaced the burned wire (ground). I added another ground from the block to the frame. I also added a ground from the negative battery cable...

73azbronco - I'm not discounting having to run all new wires. These aren't butchered, fortunately, but they are original and old. That's my concern - a worn wire 'somewhere.' 70_Steve - I have already replaced the battery ground, but haven't done anything from engine to body. That's happening...

So, I joined the Bronco owner's club a few weeks ago. Love it, love working on it, etc. It's a '73 and a beauty. There's just one thing. It's been having electrical 'issues' that have me stumped. I got it and it ran fine, then suddenly wouldn't start. I alternated between having power to other...

Looking for a daily driver - low rust and solid body are key. Don't care much about years or styles, cut or uncut. I plan to use it like it was intended and give it love over time. Got rid of my Scout and 65 T-bird to finally get the ride I've wanted for years. Thanks.
