Consumer Description

1996 FORD RANGER, 4.0, STANDARD CAB, STANDARD SHIFT, 2WHL DRIVE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MOUNTING BRACKET, WHICH IS SPOT WELDED TO THE FIREWALL, BROKE THE WELDS. THIS LEFT THE VEHICAL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO INCREASE SPEED ABOVE IDLE. ALTHOUGH THE BRACKET HAD POTENTIAL FASTENER HOLES THAT LINED UP WITH HOLES IN THE FIREWALL, THE BRACKET DOES NOT BOLT ON. REFER TO FORD CPD 2000 VERSION 15.04--JANUARY 2003, P-29097 ITEM 9A762 FOR A "BLOW UP" OF THE ITEM. NO ACCIDENT OCCURED AND SINCE I AM A MECHANIC, I DROVE THE VEHICAL HOME AND REPAIRED IT MYSELF.
