I'm searching for a set of carrier setup bearings and the price range is $47-$100 plus. This will be a one/two time use for me so I'm looking for them on the cheap. My old bearings are way to far gone to hone and use for setup and no one I know has a set I can use. My question is, are they...

This might be a dumb question as I'm sure I've over thought this..... I have newly installed 4.11's inteh rear and have the front taken apart ready for the 4.09 gear install. Everyone local is giving me crap about going with 4.09's in the front. Everyeone tells me I'm looking for trouble. I...

I started the teardown of my Dana 44 today and things have gone well so far. I’ve got everything taken apart but for the knuckles. I did have one spendle bolt that broke off in the drum knuckle but I’m upgrading to Disc so not worried about that. I have yet to order any parts for the rebuild...

For the price it's going to cost me to have my rear wheel bearing pressed off and new ones pressed on, I can buy a 20 ton press ar Harbor Freight. Problem is, I don't know the first thing about pressing off bearings. Pressing them on seems streight forward but off has me puzzled. Anyone got...

Starting my rebuild this weekend and wanted to know the correct/factory clutch/steel stack ? How thick should the total stack be? Tim

What modifications are needed to a gen 3 Dana 44 carrier when using thick gears? Is there any difference in setting one up with thick gears vs. thin gears? Tim

I came across a used trac lok unit yesterday however it will need a rebuild of the clutches. I’ve done some searching and can’t seem to find a detailed tech article or instruction guide on how to rebuild one. I’ve never been inside of one before so I’m reaching out for some help. Are there...

My 74 Bronco is in parts all over the shop to address a few issues I’ve been putting off for sometime now. I posted some months back abut my axle housing ends being “oblonged”. They started giving me trouble again so it’s time to fix it for good. While it’s apart, it’s getting 4:11 gears and...

I’m in the boat with what seems like most others. My 74 drives like crap at speed on an uneven or bumpy road. Because of this, I try to read most of the posts on steering issues. I keep reading references to the front pinion yoke angle in combination with C bushings. My 74 has a 2.5 inch...

I’m collecting my parts to do this conversion (already have knuckles out off a 79 FSB) and have found there’s two ways to go when it comes to hub/rotors. There’s a 1 piece and a 2 piece (well three if you’re counting) as I’m sure you guys already know. It appears you can get the 2-3 piece...

So I found my outer wheel seal was leaking and upon taking everything apart, I found the issue was the axle housing end. It’s hard to believe but the cup where the axle bearing rides is “oblong” allowing the bearing to move up and down thus the leak. I contacted a local shop about replacing...

So I ordered my winch and it's delivery is being delayed due to the 7 inches of show and ice here in AR. I'm hoping to get it tomorrow as it's been out for delivery for two days now. My question is how much room did everyone leave between the winch and the grill? I have a winch bumper that...

My P/S pump just died and so now is the time to switch to a ham can. I know it’s been talked about 500 time but I can’t seem to find the answers I’m looking for when searching the through all the posts. I know I read someplace there’s a ham can pump that will bolt up to the stock bracket and...

Anyone running these? I went to replace one of my Mud Kings (I cut it down and it can't be repaired) and found they're no longer made. My tire guy suggested the Mudstar as cheap replacement. $130 for a 265/75/16 sounds good but......... Tim

My 74 came without a horn and to further complicate matters, I switched to a 75 steering column and steering wheel a few years back. My question concerns the horn switch and how it connects to the 75 steering wheel. Under the horn pad on the steering wheel, I have two wires with...

I’ve read where this is very common and would like to get this done but have a few questions I’m hoping you guys can answer. I can get the work done for free (it’s all about knowing people) just need to know the specifics. I don’t want to screw this up. How much did you cut off the tie rod...

My bronco’s a 74 it started life as a manual steering rig but was converted over to a Chevy box (input shaft on the outside of the frame, it was a nightmare) so I corrected that issue a few years back with the stock 74 power steering box. I had steering issue with the factory box. I had...

Has anyone done this? I need a new engine for my 74 Bronco 302 3 speed and happened upon a good deal or at least I think it’s a good deal. It’s a complete running engine . I just need to pull it. Total cost is $250 if I pull it and $300 if I want them to pull it. It has 144K on it but...
