Yo Treg,
Following by Ford for 96 Bronco;
96 Bronco-F-Series Workshop Manual (PARTIAL) by FORD via
http://www.diesel-dave.com/vehic/manual/stj/stjleft.htm
96 is same as most earlier years especially 92-96, except for:
92 through 95 uses the Electronic Engine Control, version Four (EEC-IV, aka On Board Diagnostics (OBD-I)) engine management computer
96 uses the OBD-II (EEC-V) engine management computer;
4WABS (93-96);
RABS (87-92);
Air Bag (94-96);
3 ***** Automatic Locking Hubs (Built from May 95 through 96); Spark Plug Wire Routing & Firing Order (The firing order for 1987-1993 5.0Ls is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. The firing order for 1994- 96 5.0Ls & all 5.8Ls is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.);
R134a in 94-96;
2-piece Spindle Rolling Diaphragm Seal (RDS) used on 5/95 to 96 Broncos & F Series 1/2-ton 4WD;
Mass Air Flow in 95 5.8 California models and in all 96s, other years used Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP).
96 5.8 do not have the Air Injection (AIR), Secondary Air Injection; Pump (Smog Pump), Thermactor Air Bypass (TAB) & Thermactor Air Diverter (TAD) Solenoids; Diverter, Check & Bypass Valves, Cross-Over Tube, etc. But 96 5.0 does have the system.
The 96, Vapor Management Valve (VMV) replaces the canister purge valve (CanP valve) used in EEC IV.
The Speed Control Deactivation Switch (SCDS) in a 93 Bronco is located on the driver side frame rail, but in 94 through 96 it is on the master cylinder. Both have recalls.
Still researching other differences.

Fluids,
See Section 00-03: Maintenance and Lubrication
"Engine Oil Viscosity
Gasoline Engines (4.9L, 5.0L, 5.8L, 7.5L)
To choose the correct viscosity oil, temperatures in which the vehicle will be driven must be considered. The use of SAE 5W-30 oil is preferred in all climate conditions. The use of SAE 10W-30 is acceptable in moderate to hot climates.
Ford recommends using Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil meeting Ford specification ESE-M2C153-E and certified by the American Petroleum Institute for gasoline engines.
Use only engine oils displaying the American Petroleum Institute certification mark on the front of the container."
Depending upon engines age, oil loss, pressure (btw, the oil pressure gauge uses just an on-off switch thzt opens at around 4.5 psi thus moving the needle to mid-range) etc. you may want to go with 10w 50 with a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer, as suggested by Seabronc.
To modify that circuit or to add a true sendor and/or gauge, see mmy site @

b Lubricant levels are determined by filling the axle 6.4-14.2mm (1/4 to 9/16 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole with vehicle in a level position.
Note: Rear axle **** quantities must be replaced every 160,000 km (100,000 miles) or if the axle has been submerged in water. Otherwise, the **** should not be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected or repair required.
Do same for TRANSMISSION, ETC.

"Put the transmission in neutral and jack up both tires."
miesk5 Note; chock both front tires FIRMLY. Best is to have your Bronco facing out in a garage or close to a solid brock wall or an Abrams M1A2 main battle tank.
"Turn one tire. If the other tire spins the opposite direction you have an open differential, and if it spins the same direction you have a posi or a locker..."
"Jack up one tire if you have an open diff, or both tires if you have a working posi or locking differential. Rotate the tire one full revolution for posis and lockers and 2 full revolutions for open diffs. Carefully count the number of full revolutions the driveshaft makes. This is your gear ratio. In other words, if the drive shaft turns 3 ¾ turns, you probably have a 3.73 gear ratio. Turning the tire for twice the number of full revolutions and dividing the drive shaft revolutions by two will give you a more accurate reading."

I believe that I gave you this awhile ago to identify your automatic transmission,etc.;
"And as my friend Seabronc mentioned............
I made a mistake 15 years ago by telling someone to use the Driver's side Door Jamb label to ID their Rear Differential (axle, pumpkin type, etc.); turned out that a previous owner had swapped a Dana 60 in place of the stock 8.8..."
