Welded a riser bracket to my front axle as part of a TRO upgrade and it looks like crowding the space where the pass. side bump stop was. Considering changing to hydro bumps and looking for others experience. Did some forum searches but didn't find too much so far. Please post up any experience...

John, thanks for a reply. Sending a pm to you...

Looking for stock pitman arm, p.s. version preferred but will consider non power as well. Doing a TRO so my drop pitman arm needs to be replaced... Let me know if you have one you are willing to part with.

my caps had an "E" stamped in them. one on its side and the other right side up. some marks on housing...

By joining the website, you are in the inner circle... ;)

I did disc brakes up front 1st, hydro 2nd and rear disc 3rd. Definitely do hydroboost before the rear disc. It made an amazing difference, you won't be disappointed.

If you got a medium duty (Torino) rear end, take a look at Explorer rear disc. Pretty much a bolt up operation and parts can be sourced relatively inexpensively...

Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the install. Flowkooler makes a pump for the Explorer... might be worth a look.

This was the advice I was going to give but I bought 3 at a time and just returned the ones I didn't use saving a trip or so. the part number usually gives clues on belt length (6k870 = 6 rib belt 87 inches long... ) for those who may not know. Good luck, you are going to love the front dress...

On my truck my experience was that the Explorer pump can be difficult to prime. Make sure the reservoir outlet is higher than pump inlet. I took the belt off mine and spun the pump only with a spare belt and a drill motor till it primed.

Man, you just can't catch a break! :( Drilling it for an easy-out might work but if you break the drill or the easy out, those are real hard to deal with...

p.s. BCBroncos made an adapter for a truck lower to car upper. I don't think it flows nearly the same as the Lightning stuff... see link for adapter https://bcbroncos.com/shop/fuel/efi/11-82010-efi-manifold-adapter-351302-for-early-bronco/

Do the 351 fuel injected engine (consider a 408 too...wish I had). The engine runs fantastic and fuel injection is so much better, especially off road. Highly recommended! :)

Still have it... sending a pm.

Happy VD ;) Love this year's card and last year's too!

Being an old school guy, I always liked the original movie much better than the remake. Having Big Oly in it is just icing on the cake! :)

Ooops, 'mybad. For some reason my mind went to the knobs for the windshield frame... as Roseanne Roseannadanna said, nevermind... ?:?

My advice, like others here is a little at a time with drive time in between upgrades. Been building mine for 19 years... hopefully be done in roughly 19 or so more... ;D

There is a roll pin that is pressed in, retaining the threaded stud into the knob. Atleast the ones on my 75 are made that way. might want to soak the whole thing in penetrating oil for a while before trying to work on.

If you put a 15 mm socket on the tensioner bolt it should rotate.i'm not sure how much torque it takes but probably 30 ft-lbs or more. Let me know if it's not cooperating.
