    Vacuum control lines

    Well crap! My vacum control lines are starting to dry rot. Anyone know if I can order only the vacum line bundle, with the plugs on it - or if the dealer will only sell the wireing harness (since it is inside it - not an option). What I am referring to are the lines that the heater and A/C...

    NEED HELP. TRUCK WON'T START. HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL.

    GPR and or GP I agree with Bushpilot. When you turn on the ignition, does the battery gauge drop, then rise up after it runs a bit? If not, then it may be the Glow Plug Relay not fireing the Glow Plugs (easier to check and replace). Can also check with a meter across the terminals and...

    ABS for Fronts

    Rabs Crap OK, I agree with the rabs unit being useless in an emergency stop (even on dry pavement it kicks in). Is there a way to disconnect it, or maybe put a reducer in line to the rear brakes to not affect the front braking when it kicks in? What options do we have? Also have not seen...

    Fuel level float information

    Well, after dropping the rear tank, cleaning it and putting it back in, I was thinking about how awfully small it is and such... I have a friend of mine who is willing to make me a tank out of 12ga steel (not shotshells :D ). I remember discussion a while back about only certain types of...

    Addendum to Fuel Supply Modifications Wiki

    I was driving to work and my truck dies while showing 1/8 tank of fuel. I looked at the fuel regulator and it showed zero psi. It was the rear tank that was giving me grief. I went to the wiki and printed the paperwork to follow as a guide. Hutchinaugusta did a great job on the wiki. My...

    Ball Joints

    Finished! Thanks y'all for the pointers and help. The Energy Suspension part for the twin I-beam bushings was 4.3121G (graphite - black). I did need to torch out the old ones. The sleeve I needed to reuse looked pressed in. I did not attempt to pull it out. While it was still warm, I...

    Interesting, that's what I was told to do on my bronco, was to burn them. Just don't seem right, setting fire to the truck. Well I guess it's a good thing it's red (like a fire engine) :) I guess this will be a good use for that left over can of mapp gas, sitting on the shelf. Wonder if I...
