assuming that you are just weeping fluid out and not shooting the stuff all over the place, I would reccomend that you just put the radial seals on the top(steering column side) and bottom(yes, pull the pittman arm off). This will save you a lot of potential grief. They can be tricky if you...

correct sir! just be sure and start from the largest digit and work towards the ones digit. Otherwise you will get a ten thousands digit that sits about 1/16 inch off the rest of them. Like the others, not that I would know of such things!

in a stock or close to stock engine you only need 10 psi at 1000 rpm and 5 psi for every 1000 rpm increase. Therefore, if you actuallly make 30-40psi at high rpm, the oiling system won't give you any grief. Heck, on a stocker, to get it wound up high enough to cause damage due to inadequate...

Black Diamond is owned by the same conglomerate that brings us Champion, Autolite, Fram, Dana, Warn, etc, etc, etc. My only advice is that if it is real cheap, it is probably real cheap. I would buy a Stuperlift. It's probably cheaper anyway.

Example: 235/75-R15 Tire is 235 mm wide 75 is aspect ratio. Simply put, 75% of the width is the sidewall height. so .75 x 235 = 176.25 that is one sidewall section though. so multiply that times 2. 176.25 x 2 =352.5 convert to inches. 352.5/25.4 = 13.88 next add in your wheel diameter...

Scout II for sure. Looked at the hinges, then went to my bro-in-law's house and looked at his. Even the door panels are the same. Those guys that drive those tanks have a screw loose.

Re:Does anyone know if it's legal for me to run open headers in Texas for a whi I have a state inspection license here in TEXAS, and there is NO state law saying that you have to have mufflers, but the exhaust has to extend at least 6 inches past the driver compartment. In the case of our...

if you have a cage like I do, the darn things are not even functional anymore. Opening them two inches isn't even worth it. A little bit of black rtv and no leaks, no whistle.

ouuuccchhhhhhh! Makes me glad I have a full cage! I can see the ad now......Bronco for sale, slight body damage, good cage and seats.

I know I run the risk of starting an argument, but here goes. I have tried a 180 in my rig, and found that in real hot temps/slow speeds, eventually I would overheat. But, with a 195 in it, I stopped that mess. I figure, with the higher temp, it keeps the water from circulating so much, that...

I guess it takes all kinds, in all environments, with different budgets, of different ages, anda, anda, anda. That just proves the point I was trying to make, thanks Howie.

crossover, no matter how it is done does only one thing, it helps the engine to scavenge the exhaust gasses from the combustion chamber. I have an H on my bronc. Honestly, I can't even tell it is there, but I'm sure a dyno could. There is not enough room to do an X. Unless you are going to...

flux core wire=spatter use argon/co2 mix with some .025 wire on that 110v unit, assuming it has provisions for gas.

don't forget that when you braze, and do it properly, you get a really brittle and HARD spot where it was done. If you are trying to weld in a new panel, and attempt to shrink your seam with a shrinking hammer and lead bag, you can crack the braze pretty easily, not to mention that it is hard...

I agree, it's about time they caught up with the pack. I guess I will have to save my pennies so that I can get one of those. Sounds great.

agreed, electronics and gadgets don't make for a better package, or for that matter a longer lasting one. I simply get aggravated when some of the long time posters here jump on the opportunity to tell somebody that they are full of it because this or that can't be done. I worked as a mechanic...

Thanks, bronco "god" I think I will take my new technology. I simply think that innovation is a good thing. If we resist the temptation to try new things simply because someone (or some bronco "god") says it can't be done, then by God it'll never be done. I would love to try a 5.4 project if...

WTF does mudding and spark plugs have to do with a lightning crate motor or 5.4 anyway?

well, if you take a 351, build it CORRECTLY($2000 for the average joe off the street)and then add the blower($3000 new) and top it off with a quality blower carb($750), you have $6000 worth of 3 mile-per-gallon iron that will need a freshen-up every 10K miles. Where the mod motor will make 500...

since we are off the orig. topic a little bit, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I used to race karts, and I required 95+ octane for the engines I ran. I tried the 100LL, and learned the hard way that the stuff, although containing more lead than passenger vehicle fuel, was still some really dry fuel...
