    It was working so good...

    but I think it's time to upgrade to a rigid intermediate band in the C4. The good news is the pan was nice and clean inside. I was getting on it pretty good from a light when it just reved as it should have shifted. I got off the gas and it went to 3rd. I pulled over, checked the gears and had...

    Is it a '70 or a '77?

    I came across this one in town today. Body is '77-Gas tank doors, extra brace on back side of driver's headlight, bracket for charcoal canister under hood. Frame is '77-has single tank vent line/rollover valve running on pass side. Axles are '77-has y-steering, disks, sway bar bracket, 11"x2.5"...

    ARB install

    I broke my 9" track-lock last month at the RMR. Decided to replace it with a 31 spline ARB. The install was pretty easy although it did require a bit of grinding around the pinion support bearing for clearance. I read a good article over on Pirate about routing the copper air line and decided to...

    RMR carnage

    I made my rear diff go pop at the rendezvous on Saturday. Though it was one of the 28 spline axles at first but turned out to be the spiders. Ring and pinion looks ok. Enjoy the pics.

    Brook trout leads to broke brake

    I took the Bronco out for a little trail riding and fishing today. Found a nice little beaver pond and caught 3 average-sized and one 13" Brookie. The bugs were terrible. Had to travel many miles of washboard road to get home and I heard a new rattle develop. By the time I got home the rattle...

    9" issues

    Today I decided I would replace my worn rear outer axle bearings. Both sides came out easily and the splines looked good. Went down to Napa for seals and to get the bearings swapped. Came back home, put the new seals in along with the passenger side axle. It went right in. The driver's side axle...

    Out with the old, in with the new

    I finally got tired of my externally lubed transfer case and inconsistently shifting C4. I built up my spares over the last couple of months. The new tcase was originally a T-shift that I converted to a J-shift for the lower gearing. The new C4 came from a '73 and it needed more than a few...

    Explorer oil cooler installed

    I've read some posts that said it couldn't be done so I just had to try it for myself. I figured since I have extreme motor mounts and the engine sits a little higher up front it might just work. I did have to cut off the little oil drip shelf from the cooler because it contacted the cross...

    Kudos to Ron Davis radiators and Wild Horses

    I bought a RD 5.0 radiator just over 2 years ago from WH. I installed it last August when I completed my EFI install. It worked well until it started leaking in Jan. I knew the warranty period was well over so I went to a couple radiator repair shops downtown to see if they could fix it. No shop...

    early vent window?

    Is this the vent window from a 66-67? The lock is slightly different then mine. I found it a few years ago among some barely recognizable bronco sheetmetal parts while hunting in western CO.

    J type shift rails - found some

    Need good shift rails for a J type Dana 20. I don't need an entire transfer case unless it's really cheap and really close. Will buy or trade good T type rails. Phil

    Dana 20 trivia

    Anybody ever swap J style shift rails into a T style transfer case before? I thought it would be straight forward but I called one of the vendors to buy some extra J rails and was told that it wouldn't work. Other than the gears and rails/pills I can't figure what could be different between...

    76-77 pedal question

    Was the 76-77 wide brake pedal installed in manual trans broncos as well as autos? I've only seen it on autos. Probably weren't as many manual trans those years. For some reason I got that question in my head today during a 15 hour drive.

    My bronco turns 35 today

    According to the build sheet it was born on Jan 8, 1974. I guess I should take it out and do something special.

    Anyone re-scale the stock temp gauge?

    I don't like that my stock temp gauge reads on the upper half of the scale under my normal temp of 195. I'd like to rescale it so that the 170 degree mark represents 195 degrees by adding resistance in series with the temp sensor. I figure it would be easy to correct the digits afterward. Anyone...

    Troubleshooting tools: Factory wiring 75+
