    I've got a chirping noise

    I've got a chirping noise coming from the speedo. Starts to sound around 20 mph and gets faster the faster I go. Any suggestions on how to get it to stop? I dealt with something similar to this on my old Willys CJ-3A years ago, but forgot what I did to stop it.

    My EB got me a free lunch today

    Normally, I don't go out to eat for lunch, I just head home, but today I decided to grab a bite at Subway. Well, I'm at the cash register and this older gent sitting at a table says to me, "Hey, can I buy your lunch for ya?". And my initial thought was who are you and what do you want?, but I...

    What do you guys use in an ARB diff?

    Getting ready to change oils and the other thread made me think of it, what do you ARB users put in your diffs? It's been 5+ years since I changed the oil (only put about 3k a year on it so it takes me a while to get to the recommended 30k change time frame) and I forgot what I last used. I...

    Newport/Laguna CA owners

    I'm visiting out here right now, saw a white on white headed up Laguna Canyon on Tuesday. Looked like a 3" lift with 31s, no surface rust. Then today I saw a blue-ish greenish grey that looked really nice. There were two guys in it and they turned into a restaurant that had wharf in the name in...

    EFI Prob: Died going down the road

    I was driving home for lunch on Friday and my EB started acting up. There were no warning signals, nor did it act like something was wrong. I was going up a hill and it was like someone reached over & turned the ignition off. I got it pulled over and it started right up without a problem, and it...

    And for my Guru posting.....Happy New Year to all!!

    This morning I go to work and off for the day at lunch. I always carry a tow strap with me and this snow we got yesterday, being the first real snow of the season, everything is iced over today. So up the steep hill I go towards home and whom do I spy stuck sideways in the road but a nice little...

    Sloppy Steering problems...

    My steering has gotten pretty sloppy over the past month and I was wondering if I am missing something I should be checking. The symptoms are pretty severe wandering, the play in the steering wheel (I can turn from about 2'oclock to about 4 before getting something) is more than it was 3...

    A double find in an old magazine

    So one of the guys at work the other day walks into my office and flips a copy of the 1997 Spring issue of Open Road magazine on my desk and says "read this, you might like it". I asked him why and he said because your wife has a Durango. It is an article on the first generation Dodge Durango. I...

    Anyone done Aux. heater for additional warmth?

    I have done the Chebby upgrade, but I am curious if anyone has done an auxiliary heater to help out. Mine's an everyday rig that I tote my boys (5 & 2 years) around in. Last year, I had a couple of blankets in the back for them to use and I would like to get away from that this year if I can...

    Ever heard of Bulldog Winch?

    I was at the Dodge dealer the other day gagging on the $128 I spent on a master window switch for my wife's Durango when I noticed they had winches in there. So I wandered over and saw that they were a brand I had never heard of, Bulldog Winch. Of course the knuckle head behind the parts counter...

    Colorado Springs Stroppe sighting

    Saw a Stroppe last night about 6:30 on S. Nevada Ave. pulling out of the Wendy's parking lot. Is it anyone on here? It was in pretty decent shape, just by looking at it as I drove by. Didn't look like it was harmed.

    Who makes a 34ish tire for a 15" rim?

    I am almost in need of a new pair of shoes, and I would like to go a little taller than the 33s I have now, but the only 34" tire I can find is the Swamper LTB. Not real excited about a bias ply seeings how this is a daily driver. I don't put a lot of miles a year on, but I also don't want an...

    What would you pay or what is it worth?

    The architect that does our drawing work owns the first ever EB sold in Colorado Springs. It was his father-in-law's and the old boy ordered it directly from Ford in Oct/Nov of 65 after reading the shootout that Consumer Reports (or what ever magazine it was) did. BigMuddy has the picture as his...

    Ever seen a steering box on the inside of the frame?

    Just curious what conversion is used to mount the steering box to the inside of the frame with the pitman arm in stock position. I am racking my brain & can't think of any. The Scout & 'Yota both mount outboard....correct? The stock manual & PS both do, as does the 4x4x2. But what conversion...
