wow, i just thought i would vent some :mad: here i am trying to complete this
bronco and i keep running into problems, that shouldnt be.. AND feel free to add to this list some of the things you were told to do................AND IT DOESNT WORK?:?
im installing the 5.0EFI in my bronco
i was told the harness would include the wiring for the alternator (wrong) it has a small wire from the ign. to basically turn the alt on. there is something missing if you were to run a 3G,stock alt, or whatever(in my case,premier welder alt) it doesnt come with the other half of the wiring plug that is provided or wiring for the other alts.
i was told to run the EB oil pan and i can use either dip stick wrong again... the EB pan covers part of the hole in the 5.0 block where the 5.0 dip stick would enter the block-AWESOME!!!! guess there is a reason the EFI pan was notched in that area. so now i have to block/fill that driver side hole in the block and go back with the oil pan dip stick from the EB
no provision for the EGR on the RJM harness...so i call-guess what? you dont need it....ok done, next problem... well the harness isnt long enough for me to plug in my IAC...so i call-guess what? you need to remove the whole EGR and that 2" spacer....maybe that will shorten the throttle body enough to plug the IAC in. ok done-but no where to bolt up the bracket for the throttle............RIGHT ON!:banghead: so i made a 1/4 plate drilled/tapped and installed-more time wasted on something i didnt expect.
yes, i know there will always be things that "pop" up....but you would think that by now.....someone has already done whatever you are doing on a EB!
i know there is a heck of a lot more, that i have found over the last few years...but i just cant remember all that stuff now. sorry for the venting, but damn...3 steps forward-2 steps BACK!
