Obviously, there are a number of things we're taking for granted here, like no water got in any of the EFI wiring/ECU/Etc... because those things are in the cab. One **possible** thing I can think of would be the fusible links/solenoid wiring. *IF* the washing created a weak link and that same...

So I looked up one of the local suppliers and a 4' x 8' sheet of clear .187" "Abrasion Resistant Polycarbonate" sheeting is $581. That thickness isn't listed on the site as a tinted, but might be available. The .250 is listed at $660, and $725/726 for a 5109/7130 tinted. Probably could get...

Personally, I never use the stock ones. As long as you have the ability to take decent measurements, you can find a better replacement, like these: Much easier on/off. HTH, Joe

Don't use plain Lexan, you want to use "speedgalsss", which is Lexan with a thin coating of glass (there are probably other trade names). I talked with one of my local shops about having some made in the past and they were pretty reasonable; however, probably crazy expensive now... I planned...

Sorry to freak you out, I felt the same way reading it! It's probably fine, since it's been running fine for years. But those numbers pretty much mean it's an Explorer 5.0 block. A '95 F150 block would have the E7TE or F1SE cast in like the example. Joe

I don't think those are the casting numbers. Should look more like this, on the passenger side, bottom of the block/above the oilpan, close to the starter. UNLESS, we're actually talking about an Explorer 5.0 from '96 or later. Then the casting numbers could look like that. Looks like the...

Who did the engine/NP435 install? Does the Bronco have serpentine belt accy setup or V-belts? I ask because there's pretty much no way a mid-90s 5.0 should have a 28oz flywheel on it, UNLESS someone specifically put a 28oz damper on it and the engine was balanced that way?? Do you have the...

To continue (had to take care of some other stuff)... There are a lot of possible/potential PS boxes you can adapt fairly easily. I have one EB at 101" WB and I use a Scout II PS gearbox on it. Pitman arm faces forward, so easy enough to mount and not have to move WAY TOO FAR forward on the...

X2 on avoiding AGR. I have used a few of their products, with mixed results. I had a discussion recently with a good friend who races BITD (and has many sponsors, including Ford...) and his words were "I would rather pay for Howe Racing equipment vs. getting AGR for free". Since then, it's...

OK, let me amend my previous post. You **may** not need a seal in there. When I did my adapters, I built them using the seal, because it was intended to be put on manual AND auto transmissions. With the ZF, the back of the housing isn't a "wet" area, so you don't need the seal to keep trans...

Yes, this should have the seal in there. AND... I see Amazon has the SKF 18676 for $33, lowest price on Ebay is $38. RockAuto is out of stock, most other online retailers can't seem to find it for the little time I devoted to the search... IIRC AA makes all of their D20 adapters so they take...

A turbo isn't incredibly difficult to put on the exhaust manifold, since it's the single outlet log style. Looking on Ebay, 5.0 twin turbo setups use a hybrid T3/T4 housing set up 50 A/R compressor housing .63 A/R turbine housing .57 compressor wheel What little I remember of my 300 inline...

According to CB search, that username does not exist. If you have better contact info, have him reach out to me. TIA, Joe

A search for that user name returns no positive results. There is a JSK in Sonoma county, CA. Same dude? Joe

I'm looking for a VIN plate and matching title. Even better if it comes with a frame, but not needed. CO title is preferred, but also not needed. No, I do not need an entire Bronco to go with it... too many of those already. Email is best. RJLougee@gmail.com Joe
