    Death wobble - after sitting for two years

    FYI, just to close the loop on this one (a year later!!!) I had the tires balanced. They were way out, but able to balance them. Death wobble went away. Been driving it very occasionally on the street since then with no issues.

    Death wobble - after sitting for two years

    Replaced the trackbar bushings last night. Helped the problem greatly, although there is still a little wobble at around 45 MPH (but it doesn't get completely out of control). Drive faster and the wobble goes away. I went to emissions this morning (which I failed, go figure) and could see on...

    Death wobble - after sitting for two years

    It's definitely death wobble. I've had it before on my truck, back when I had a drop track bar bracket bolted on and it would work loose. Had to pull my seat covers out of my rear the first time it happened. Stuck my head out the window this time, and could see the front tire shaking side to...

    Death wobble - after sitting for two years

    I just got the old Bronc running after sitting in the garage for 2 years. Long story short, the harmonic balancer failed, and I just got around to fixing it. The Bronco sat in the garage for almost two years. I just got it all put back together tonight, took it for a drive, and the dreaded...

    OK, who's been in Bronco Driver Magazine?

    I had photos of my pinewood derby bronco in the "Toy" issue. Dark green with flames. I don't have the issue in front of me so I don't know the page.

    Grinding reverse

    I've got a problem I hate to even ask about, as I suspect the answers will not be good. :( Reverse in my NP435 seems to be grinding. I notice it when I an rolling backwards out of the driveway. With the clutch in and the tranny in reverse, I can hear and feel a rattling/grinding noise...

    Rear main seal or not?

    I've got the NP435, installed approximately 1.5 years ago. The seal wasn't too hard, but it took me a while. It didn't help that I broke the dipstick tube off when reinstalling the pan, so I had to find a new one. I am going to have to dig around some more and see if I can find the source of...

    Rear main seal or not?

    I've been having problems lately with oil leaks, from the oil pan (missing bolts) and what I thought was the rear main seal. I usually get a few drips after parking from below the front cover on the bottom of the bellhousing. So Saturday I tore it all apart, put in a new rear main seal, and...

    351W good deal?

    Guys, Been contemplating swapping to a 351W with EFI for a while now, just haven't had time to really start gathering parts. But I ran across a local guy selling the 351W from his Bronco (he swapped in a 5.0). He wants $700 for it. The summarized description is... 351W 4V originally from...

    35" tires & uncut front fenders

    Those inner fenders got me a new jigsaw ;D The sawzall was too big to get in there and cut them... "Honey, I need to get the jigsaw because my other saw won't fit, and if I don't cut them they will destroy my tire" ;D

    35" tires & uncut front fenders

    I just did something similar with my setup. I got the 35's (on 10" wheels) installed before I cut the front fenders. I have a 2.5" suspension lift and 2" body lift, with bobbed front fenders and trimmed rocker panels. It didn't rub, but it was darn close. The closest point was behind the...

    Jim at Wild Horses working to make things right

    Since this post seems to be the opposite of the usual bashing on Wild Horses, I'll post my experience. I got the Gorilla flares from WH a few months back. When they arrived, one of the flares was badly warped, enough that it couldn't be installed. The damage did not appear to be from...

    Air Compressors

    I just got the ~50 gallon upright unit from Home Depot a few months ago. ;D I can't think of the hp/cfm off the top of my head. That thing rocks! ;D I also got a few air tools, most importantly the impact wrench. It was definitely worth it when I swapped axles. I am so glad I didn't have...

    Spongy 4 wheel disks

    I picked up the speed bleeders from NAPA last night. Installed them, and bled each caliper once again. That seemed to have fixed the problem. Brakes got nice and firm and stopped a lot better. Especially once I drove around and tested them for a while. Disk brakes must have a short break in...

    Speed bleeders

    I found them at NAPA. Hopefully they will be the right parts when I pick them up this afternoon. The nearest Pep Boys claimed they didn't have them. But you never know with Pep Boys/Checker/Autozone. I went to Autozone 4 different times before they managed to find the spindle seals I needed...

    Speed bleeders

    I found the website for speed bleeders, and gave them a call. Large front calipers for the F150 (75-79 T bird application) is a part number SB3824. For the BC rear disks (79-85 Cadillac Seville) the part number is SB1015. Their website is Speed Bleeder<br><br>Hopefully I can find someone in...
