    Drive shaft dust shield

    That definitely helps, I am just a moron sometimes so it is definitely not your explanation that could confuse me. I still may try to post a pic but I guess that yes it is part of the rear end. I guess I will try to break the JB weld that was applied to the pumpkin and "shield" and try to weld...

    Drive shaft dust shield

    It is definitely behind them and originally just about 1/2 inch from the rear end. If I can get a digital camera (mine crapped out) I will try to take a pic.

    Drive shaft dust shield

    Thanks for the replies it is the slightly cone shaped object at the end of the drive shaft that is just in front of the rear diff. I assume it keeps dust and crud out of the seal for the rear end. I do understand that it was supposed to be connected to the drive shaft but as I eluded to I had...

    Drive shaft dust shield

    Well, I was having a rattling noise that I could track down, so I drove it to my father-in-laws and was going to work on it later in the day. I got back and he had been "helpful" :-X and found the rattle and took care of it. What it was is the shield on the rear end of the drive shaft, it broke...

    How much should I grease

    I had to replace a u-joint. When I took the axle off I squeezed a lot of grease out of it. How do I know when to stop adding grease? I have had a few conflicting suggestions on how to do it. My dad did some farming during the summer when I was a kid and he always greased until some just started...

    Starter problems

    I am still having starter problems like above. I have now replaced the solenoid, starter, and ignition switch. The actual ignition cylinder is still original. Most of the time when I try to start it the starter wants to continue to run, if I quickly turn it to "off" and then back to "run" it...

    Starter problems

    I had my engine rebuilt and I rewired with a centech wiring kit, using the ignition adapter. Now when I start it the starter motor continues to run and makes a high pitched whine. If I quickly turn it to off and then back to on (not start) the starter disengages and everything is fine. I...

    centech harness problems

    Thanks stevew, that was the problem with mine also. The fuseable link that is connected with the heavy battery wire was twisted slightly and was touching a fuse. I looked at it once but did not notice it at that time until you said that is where your problems were. After a closer inspection I...

    centech harness problems

    I have installed a centech harness into my 1976 bronco with duraspark ignition module. When I attach the battery everything has power even without the key in, i.e. the blinkers work, heater fan works, wipers work, etc. It appears as if the ignition is getting constant power. Also when I put the...

    dynamax headers

    I recently tried to install dynamax headers on my stock 1976 bronco. The passenger side header would not bolt tight to the block because it was blocked by the back rubber support for the sway bar. Has anyone else used these headers and if so did you have this problem or a solution for this problem.

    vacuum hose routing

    I am trying to button up my engine rebuild and I am wondering where all the vacuum hoses go. I have a 1976 with the original engine cleaned up and slightly reworked, my carb is the motorcraft 2150. There are so many vacuum lines that I am unsure of which ones I have to use and which ones are...

    Stainless Steel Question

    How about some rear quarter panel inserts? I always thought those could look good in stainless.

    centech wiper switch swap question

    I am in the same boat as you. I posted the same question a while back without an answer. Everyone always refers you to the tech article, but unfortunately that does not seem to apply in our application. I would think that someone out there has tried the same thing that we want to do. I hope you...

    water pump bolts

    I have been rebuilding my engine and installing a new wiring harness over the late fall and this spring. Well I must have misplaced a bucket of nuts and bolts as I can't seem to find the bolts for the water pump, thermostat housing, alternator, and power steering. I have gone through many boxes...

    Wiring Questions

    I am not sure about the wipers or blinkers, but The centech wiring harness comes ready to wire the hazard switch two different ways. One way is if it is wired into the column, the other is for if it is dash mounted. Whichever one you use you just ignore the other one. If you have more questions...

    reverse lights switch

    I was working on the wiring tonight and broke off the little plastic piece that the pigtail hooks to on the column for a three speed. Are these parts still available at parts stores? If so does anyone have a parts number or know exactly what I should ask for? Anytime I go to my local auto parts...

    K-9 Safety

    It doesn't seem like any particular "mentality" as much as it just seems like common courtesy to clean up after a dog. No need adding to all the crap that is already in the woods. Also most animals are not going to be crapping right around areas where humans congregate as dogs will since they...

    A couple of centech questions

    I did a search and looked at the tech articles but I guess I am still confused so here goes. I don't see any wires to power the small lights on the dash that say wipers, heat, defrost, etc. The only wire I see that might possibly be for them is coming from the section going to the wiper switch...

    Centech wiper questions

    I did a search and did not find an answer so if this has been asked and answered already I apologize. I removed all the wiring from my truck except the wires that run up the windshield frame to the wipers. These seem like a pain in the a$$ to pull out and rewire. My question is whether or not I...
