    Colorado Bronco Owners Group Snow Run

    My plow truck gets chains in the rear first . The weight of the plow adds extra traction up front and we all know how little traction the rear of a pickup has. love cam lock and vbar chains. Looks like a good time. Along with future people to hit the trails with, especially knowing the...

    Carburetor Gasket Sealent

    This is a process of elimination. You have some good ideas given on things to check. Keep crossing them off your list. Every time you are one step closer. Keep in mind new doesn't equate to good. Just did a bunch of work on my plow truck. 2 of the "new" items were bad out of the box. The ps...

    Carburetor Gasket Sealent

    Side to side and up and down. Pretty much any direction. In and out shouldn't cause a leak. Have you started to use oil? The intake manifold even on the inside of the lifter valley can cause vacuum leaks. What are the symptoms that you have noticed? Can you hear the leak?

    Carburetor Gasket Sealent

    What carb are you using?? Throttle shafts have been known to wear and create vacuum leaks. Remove all linkage and springs and try wiggling the shaft. Quick and free.

    408 Stroker Conversion - 1974 Bronco

    Some shielded the wire. Similar to the shielding in coax. In fact you can remove it from old coax and put your wires inside.

    Tips for Carbs in Cold Elevation - Don’t want EFI

    Off idle circuit. The vertical slots above the idle mixture holes in the Venturis. Used by those with light loads along with light throttle. No, I don't call it a 8th circuit.

    Tips for Carbs in Cold Elevation - Don’t want EFI

    A manual choke is a big help once you learn how to use it. You reduce the number of people that can drive it effectively. I'm interested in hearing about the automatic altitude compensator as well. I do know how you can adjust the travel on the primary side metering rods on a qjet from the...

    Alternative options then fold an tumble pass seat?

    Depending on your seats that being 11" may be a problem for many. Nice looking.

    Going to disk, what do y'all recommend

    Something to think about is properly sized brakes for the application. As you mentioned with your F250. A class 8 tractor bobtailing without a trailer has a hard time stopping due to the brakes locking up, put a loaded trailer on it and everything changes for the better. They are designed to be...

    Wild horses wrap trap?

    The 3rd gen F body had mounting boss on the diff. When they first came out they had been over torqued from the factory causing the front pinion bearing area to distort.

    Factory power steering box leak

    The o ring on the cap is the only place that can leak to the outside. What else you want to do is up to you.

    Factory power steering box leak

    Punch, awl, Allen wrench etc just whatever you have that is stiff enough to push it out. Walk it back in when done. When you put it back together make sure you keep the end of the ring close to the hole for the next time. It will make sense when you get there. Sounds like you found the options...

    Factory power steering box leak

    That's the hole for getting the snap ring out. The end seal needs to be replaced. No room to do it there. Must have been my square body that I did in place.

    Is this the 2 post way?

    What transfer case is that. I use a 4 post with bridge jacks. Never any worry. Definitely give and take. Broncos on 2 posts need additional help as mentioned.
