Bronco Driver Mag - Repair Manual

[sprdv1]

Okay, these may be trivial questions, so bare w/me.. ;D

Is Bronco Driver magazine worth getting? Trying to get my mechanical skills back so a little reading never hurt. I have been getting back into the 4wheel magazines since I purchased my EB.

Also, I found a 5 volume set auto repair manual on faxon auto, that I THOUGHT about getting, but the price seems a little steep.

I have the chilton's pickup/bronco manual but it doesn't get very in depth.

Thanks for the input.

Yes there are some how to articles in there I think most are from readers of the mag, is it worth getting well I get it to support the bronco mag itself, check out the pics, and latest products from the vendors. Most of us have always wanted a mag for broncos now that we have it I feel we should support them, it takes alot of time to put together a mag for publishing and I would say most of the people that do work on this mag have full time jobs.

Yeah, I can totally understand that. All about the bronco.. Can't wait till mine is at least mechanically sound so I can start the cosmetic stuff.

BD is good for inspiration. ;D Like Surfer-B says, I get it for various reasons and supporting the only magazine that is excusively for Broncos is high on my list of reasons. Most of us remember when there wasn't a BD!

Keep in mind that BD is reader supported for articles - it's only as good as we make it.

As for repair manuals, the factory ford manuals are probably best. Any 5-volume auto repair manual is probably too generic for an EB.

Scoop, I haven't been able to google up any of the factory ford manuals???

The one I found states what the mechanics used.

Sorry, I didn't look at the faxonautolit manuals before I replied. Those are actually the ones I was talking about. Must be reprints of the original Ford manuals. I thought you were referring to a more generic type of manual.

,,,,,,,,those are much better than chiltons for sure & this website seems to selling the originals since they have different prices based on condition,,,,to finish them out you also need the wiring manual for that year

You need one that says "a 750 is too big for a 302"! That will get you started. HA HA

Youd be better off with a Holley book.....and keep coming here for other instructions.

Ive found factory books useless after a certain amount of aftermarket parts are installed.

Although it does not cover everything, Look for a MOTOR'S manual, they are pretty helpful and have a lot of exploded views and it takes some time to get used to the layout. The nice thing is i find em at a lot of flea markets for 15-20 bucks (less than a new chiltons) and they cover almost all cars for that year.

If you have a eb,have broncitis or other symtoms,Bronco Driver is a must have. Its like the bible that comes in the mail every two months.
