I have the same low idle/volts drop syndrome on an F 150, 1993.
Is this diode something that comes in an alternator rebuild kit?

'90 Brono II 2.9 What mileage to expect? 19 MPG bad?

I just got this on the road. 145,000 miles. Runs well, new O2 sensor. Plugs look ok. Brakes not dragging. Manual tranny.
Got 19 MPG on the first tank. 25% in town driving, 75% highway at 55 mph. Flat ground driving.
Is this normal?
Anything I should be checking on? MAF sensor cleaning?

Was there a factory Bronco II diesel?

Was there a factory Bronco II diesel? I thought I heard that a small number were built but I could be imagining things.
If there was how did it perform and was the mileage a lot better than the gas?
