    Factory tailgate hinge stabilizer?

    I want to keep the factory tailgate hinges. I’m aware of the cables and silencer kit and don’t want to go that route on an OE restoration. Issue is the hinges slide some by design where they attach to the tailgate. This allows them to dig into the inside tailgate and scratch paint off. Is there...

    My C4 pan is warped. Especially on the corners. I know about the pan reinforcement available and that is a possibility, but what’s the best way to get it back straight and flat? Does anyone make a reproduction that has the threaded hole for the dipstick/fill tube? I see the basic pans...

    Working on the valve body in a C4 the screw that holds the manual detent spring to the valve body stripped. I was able to use a longer screw to access the lower threads in the hole and it's holding and everything seems to be working as it should, but I'm not sure if I can trust it. Any ideas...

    C4 Shift Firmness?

    I can barely feel or notice the shifting of my C4 from 1-2 and 2-3. It is so smooth. Most people likely wouldn't have a problem with this and would appreciate it, but I like to have and feel definite/positive shifts. Is there some way I can increase shift firmness without going inside the...

    Manual Brake Pedal Feel/Effort

    Is there a way to reduce pedal effort/improve feel on manual brakes? I’ve bled them but no improvement. I drove a mustang with manual brakes recently and the effort required to get that to stop vs the Bronco was much less. It was much more responsive. Maybe this is normal I don’t know. Mustang...

    Remove Yoke from rear driveshaft?

    I can’t seem to remove the yoke from the rear driveshaft. It will move but never separate. I’ve never had this issue with anything else including previous broncos. It’s almost like there’s some type of vacuum preventing it from coming off. Any ideas?

    Fan and heat switch very hard to use

    Used heat for the second time this year today. Pulled out fine but not as far as usual. Pushed back in and pulled again and it was easy like it wasn’t doing anything. It wasn’t. Looked under the dash and it looks like the housing is slipping so the whole cable is just moving back and forth but...
