so ive locked up the price for most of this and it will blow my load lol, so plans for the truck are mostly snow and mud. ok so just let me know what you guys think and what deals you know of right now or any good websites where i can order this stuff ive been shopping around but im used to working on my mustang that i recently sold and its a bit diff shopping for a bronco lol, ok thanks for any input you guys have, later
For Ford Motorcraft parts (not the junk from China that have the Ford MC pn stamped on em..) I order via AMAZON if possible;
Troy Ford via AMAZON; they are VG at delvy and esp pricing; I bought a $150.00 DPFE Sensor for $50.00 with free shipping and no sales tax; Local dealers wanted 150.0 +
same price & discount for an Idle Air Control (IAC)
Some Ford Motorcraft parts can be ordered on-line & picked up at Advance Auto, etc.; I see some filters, EGRs etc. there.
For a YARD SEARCH on-line, I use;
http://www.mypartshop.com
Select All parts, then FORD TRUCK..etc.
For Emission/PCM, etc part numbers look @ Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Decal,
for 88 & UP.
On-Line for Free at Ford. Click "Quick Guides" in left panel;
Scroll to & CLICK VECI Labels
"Provides Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) and a related calibration parts list."
Enter applicable info (
need to know your Calibration number from your B-pillar sticker).
Vacuum Diagram is the same as the one on the core support or hood or air filter cover.
