    Engine continues to run Cold

    I'm with jeepster here. There are only 2 ways(short of tearing the engine down) to tell what shape an ingine is in, and how well it is tuned. #1 cylinder blow-down(when engine is shit off of course) #1 manifold vacuum checks. I doubt that the fuel pumps have anything to do with your problem...

    transmission and differental fluid

    I would go with synthetic, no matter what weight you choose to go with. I was pulling a trailer(about 4500 lbs) up the pass into Albuquerque and boiled the grease in a fresh rear end. I went into town with a guy we were travelling with and got some mobil 1 rear end grease, put it in, and have...

    What on earth could have caused this?

    I have heard of all sorts of strange things happening at area 51, but I did'nt think that was anywhere near Houston.

    Dark metallic blue is what I have, with white GT500 stripes in the rockers.

    bucking bronco

    I agree with broncobsession, that is a lot of leverage on old springs.

    winch bumpers

    The guy just e-mailed me. And, he is a guy with a lot to do, and not much time to do it(to put it in a nutshell). The guy seems to really care about his product, and he answered my e-mail real quick. I think that these are about the neatest bumpers that I have seen. And, just going by the...

    winch bumpers

    I just e-mailed this guy again about the front bumper I ordered eons ago. We'll see if I get a response. I hate to trash a guy who is trying to make a few bucks on the side, but I could sure use a bumper on my ride. Has anyone gotten anything from this guy? His name is Brett Kinch, and he is...

    bronco as a daily driver? safety ratings?

    Two words.....OLD IRON! It just does'nt get any better. You won't get a lot of the modern ammenities with a bronc(unless you add them), but the fun factor and cool factor are both off the scale. Of course we're all biased here, but I'm on my third bronc. It just seems that I keep coming back...

    Another efi quesion or two

    one is a supply pump, and the other is the pusher pump. The pusher is the work horse, and the supply just keeps plenty of fuel available so that you don't cavitate the pusher. I have heard of the Ford pusher having trouble pulling fuel from the tank when the temp gets up there. There is a...

    Oil Pressure Sending unit

    I agree with everyone here. The teflon can get into stuff and cause problems. If you get it into your sending unit for example, it can cause some funky readings. You can get some stuff at Napa that is made for sealing sensors/senders, it contains something that will conduct electricity.

    Pygme Bronco ?

    I used to race karts, and the karting industry has about anything you can think of. The only thing is the body. You would have to be pretty handy with the sheet metal work. Check out American Power Sports or TS Racing to see some of the cool kart stuff. Be sure to see the fun kart sections...

    Pygme Bronco ?

    That is about the coolest thing I have ever seen. That's the way to start the kids off on the right foot. ;D

    5.0 HO SWAP?

    for sure. I would just hate to see someone trash the bottom end of their hard earned iron with a questionable piece.

    5.0 HO SWAP?

    rulebreaker, I never said that the balancer was what balanced the engine. But, the balancer offsets the harmonics set up by the engine. If you take a 30 year old balancer and ask it to do what amounts to more work, you are asking for trouble. I have seen main bearings get hammered out of...

    PS columns - mix-N-match

    I wonder if there was ever a service bulletin on the column. After I posted, I checked my truck. Sure enough the memory works. Mine has a weld bead around the inside of the cone created when they draw the flange down (very bottom of the upper shaft). Wasn't trying to argue, but this is the...

    Matching the Torque Converter w/ the Cam?

    As tough as it can be to get a bronc to cool I will agree, don't mess with anything smaller than stock (smaller = higher stall). Also there are companies that will space the turbine away from the housing, producing higher stall. The shear will produce massive heat. It is better to make more...
