    Will the same method work on 4 drums?

    Intermittent drag at 10-40 mph

    Just got my truck back from an engine swap and perhaps from sitting or random failure, I can feel an intermittent drag when cruising around town. Feels a bit like varying wind resistance but with no wind. Brakes seem fine, pedal five is good and the vac booster seems to be working. What are some...

    Bronco event: May It Foward May 17/18th 2024

    Crazy shift in weather forecast! I assume we are still a go despite now 60 and showers.

    BluePrint crate motors......buyer beware

    Yeah....seems like despite it now being apparent that the pushrod/lifters were over torqued, that it is still on me to come up with this money to pay my installer; I don't know that my shop is in an approved installer list, but is is a Bronco builder with several BP engine installs under their...

    BluePrint crate motors......buyer beware

    I'm hoping a little bad publicity will get them to re-think the install coverage before I go the BBB route. I'm northwest of Boston

    BluePrint crate motors......buyer beware

    Hey all, If you're looking for a crate motor for your Bronco be aware of BluePrint's warranty policy. TLDR: I chose BluePrint and am now out thousands for my trouble. I had a BluePrint crate motor installed in late September after my original gave up the ghost. Break-in period went off...

    Yukon Dana 44 oil capacity more than 2Qt?

    Hmm...good to know. Given that 2 QTs is so close to the recommended and leaves me with no partial open bottles, gonna stick with it.

    Yukon Dana 44 oil capacity more than 2Qt?

    They are actually the same depth, but the factory only has a center fill hole, where as the Yukon has a bottom drain and two fills on the front face. I was filling to the top fill hole, but realized after putting in 2 quarts I was over the recommended by about a pint. Figure I will leave it as...

    Yukon Dana 44 oil capacity more than 2Qt?

    I just serviced my Dana44 and decided to swap out the factory cover for a Yukon heavy duty and a new LubeLocker gasket. Install and all went just fine, but when I went to fill it back up it took 2 quarts of oil and still had not reached the top hole. Is the top hole not the correct measure for...

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    Old one was original so I think it was 60 Amp. The new one is a 74 amp external regulator from Summit PWM-7078.

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    Exactly. Original alternator dies after 48 years of reliable service, new alternator causes issue on first start. I'm loathed to swap out any of the parts on this thing for new. 48 year old power steering pump is probably next, but I'm hoping it is so simple it just works forever!

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    All are solid state from Tom's. Frankly after troubleshooting my dead battery issue across all voltage regulators to an alternator that inconsistently charged when warm, causing my yellow top battery to burn out a cell and not charge properly... I might just live with the warm bounce as long as...

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    It bounces back and forth above and below the 0 like a inconsistent draw for a fraction of a second that the new alternator recharges instantly like a sine wave. The fact that it does not happen immediately on cold start, makes me think it is a faulty part somewhere that hates heat. The order of...

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    Could be the draw off of my aftermarket stereo, but it never read a draw before the new alternator and certainly never bounced.

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    Does not wobble when tapped. Jumps up to 20-30 for a second or two on cold start, then settles to zero and is stable. After a mile or so of driving, when sitting at idle the needle bounces around 0.

    Bouncing voltage guage at idle

    I just replaced my guage volt regulator, my alternator and voltage regulator, as well as both vbelts. After the alternator and vbelts I took my 74 out for a test drive and at idle now the voltage dash guage bounces around 0. Never did ot before with just the voltage regulator change. It only...

    Krawlers Edge AWOL

    Thanks Emily and Kyleigh. I was generally concerned. So many great and seemingly vibrant businesses went under suddenly and without warning in the covid years. There were some recommendations for other cages here, but in all honesty, your is exactly what I want and no one else is making it...

    Yes.....just got a response from Emily though the Kincer Chassis side and they seem to be up and running.

    My next stop was other makers, but figured I'd ask here incase there was a shop fire or something catastrophic and someone knew here.
