Put a new alternator in, solved my cutting out issue. Original was a 61a, went to a 93 k1500 105a alternator. Drives much better now. 
 

also fixed the ground harness, Duct tape and crimps..... thats a new one

Was surprised when i Saw that on cruisers renix tips. My 72 bronco has nothing like that. Never seen a factory do something like this
 

 

When i probed the harness, had 8.6ohms resistance and dropped down to .7 when i was down

Went to replace gasket today. Found half the bolts were finger tight, also found a cracked egr pipe. Hoping once i go to JY tomorrow for new pipe it runs right. Pretty sure the loose manifold is why it was running so poorly.

Gas gauge stopped working after 2 tanks. Stays on empty and the light is on. At the point, just going to put my old one back in and probably leave it. Not worth the hassle for a tach anymore. find it hard to believe that none of the ones I'm finding have the same issue though. I don't get why my original one works, but none of the replacement gauges 
 

Need to go to jy to return core on my ecu after i put the 90 ecu in.

Went on a bit of a hiatus, Body shop had truck for about a month. Argued with usaa for a bit about buyback of my truck. Woman slammed brakes to make an illegal turn with no signal. Went to avoid her and plowed into the back of her. Body shop claimed 3k in damage. I bought new upper and lower ball joints, side marker, and bed liner for bumper. Drove It home yesterday and have all the parts to fix it for under 300. Going to leave the header panel for a bit.

Going to fix it tomorrow, move bronco out of the garage and avoid the rain. Still need to figure out why the horn doesnt work. New relay, horn, and bracket. Hasnt been high on priority list. Was trying to get it mechanically right first

Finally found the motivation to work on it, replaced the fan shroud dirtbound offroqd battery holder, signal lens, and replaced my switch holder.

 

Eagle-  ive replaced the cancel cam, turn signal switch, relay and all the horn itself. Whenever i hit the horn without the hornpad on, i can see it arc. Going have to dig deeper and pull wheel again like you said.

What does the relay look like? Some of those OEM style aftermarket ones ive had go bad on one blow of the horn. Ive found that the Napa replacement and ones that can be nabbed from a junkyard tend to work better.

 

I wonder what the true issue is if everything has shiny new parts.
