Skyjacker Lift Questions

[Angi200]

I am working on lifting my Bronco, following the directions given in the kit and online.  However the center hinge bracket is NOT held on my four bolts on the top!  The directions say to remove the four bolts on the top of the original bracket to remove.  My bracket appears to be riveted in.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I have tried everything to remove this bracket and it just does not budge.  Any ideas would be great.

thanks

Generally you just grind off the rivit heads and punch them out. 

Good luck,

Thanks, that's where we are with it, but the rivets are just not very agreeable..... beginning to think I was the only one with rivets!

No,  lots of rivets on the frames.  Make sure the bolts that you yse don't allow movement in the hole.  They should match in diameter to prevent that.  The supplier should be able to match bolt and rivet diameter.  Sometimes one the frame hole needs to be adjusted to the bolt diameter an sometimes there is a 1 for 1 match from old rivet to bolt.

Good luck,

Feeling like Superman, lift is complete.  I finally "coerced" that bracket into submission!  However, I drove it down the road for about 15 minutes then it died on me.  Sounds like it will start but fuel pump not engaged.  No sound coming from the pump, fairly new pump - don't think that's the problem.  It's now at a shop where they tell me it is the wiring from the ignition down to the firewall.  Computer replaced, ignition control module replaced but shop says they can't find the harness needed.  Any ideas on where to find this unidentified object they speak of?  Giving them about 3 more days and then it's coming home and I'm going to see what I can do about some re-wiring.  But I wanted to know if there is any possibility of just replacing wires as a whole.  I understand the wires are up in the column...is this a typical Bronco problem as the shop states?

yo ANGI,

Operational Sequence, Depiction & Wiring Diagram in a 94; "...When the ignition is switched to the ON position, it turns the EEC Power Relay on. The EEC Power Relay provides power to the EEC-IV processor and the control side of the fuel pump relay. Power for the fuel pump is supplied through a fuse link or high current fuse attached to the starter solenoid (battery side). From the fuse link or high current fuse, current flow is through the fuel pump relay and Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch to the fuel pump. The IFS switch is a safety device used to shut off the fuel pump in the event of a collision. If the IFS switch is "tripped," it must be reset by depressing the white or red button on the top of the switch. The fuel pump relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the fuel pump will operate. If the ignition switch is not turned to the START position, the PCM will shut the fuel pump off after approximately one second. The PCM will operate the fuel pump when the ignition is in the START position to provide fuel while cranking.After the engine starts, the PCM will continue to operate the fuel pump unless the engine stops, engine speed drops below 120 rpm, or the IFS switch is "tripped." Note: Grounding the FP lead at the DLC will allow the pump to run continuously with the ignition switch on..." READ MORE

Test & Diagram at the Diagnostic Link Connector in 84-95; "...Connect FP Relay to any ground to force the fuel pump(s) on when the key is in RUN..." MIESK5 NOTE; from Ford EVTM; The Control Module (PCM) runs the pump{s} for one second when it receives an ignition- on signal. It also runs the pumps as long as it receives a PIP signal from the Hall-effect devices, it continues pump operation even after the key is released from START. If the PIP signals fall below 120RPM, the control module cuts off the signal to the fuel pump relay or the integrated relay control module. The pump will also run when the terminals of the fuel pump test connector are jumped. the Control module signals the pump when it receives a CRANK signal, and when the Control module gets PIP signals that the engine is running. the pump does not run if the PIP indicates the engine is not running even with ignition ON {except for that first one second}.

I'd check the Fuel Pump Relay & PCM Power Relay in Power Distribution Box; Located under the hood on the drivers side fenderwell, on driver's side of the air cleaner housing

If the shop got Lucky and Guessed (again) that the harness has a defect, pull one from a yard queen.
