Re: Bronco Rear Tank Swap

I know this is a old thread, but I was thinking of doing just the opposite as the original post asked. I was thinking of putting a f150 38 gallon tank in my 86 Bronco chassis. I would assume the cross member would have to be pushed back 4 or so inches, but would it fit width wise? I was even thinkin...

Re: RELAYS, Solid state vs mechanical

Hey Paul I am not sure on the diode. I am starting to think about my wire harness and I don't like what I see from Painless or any other that is under $1000. I have done a couple wire harnesses from scratch for Baja Bug's, sand rails and my old Class 12 1835 car. This would be the first EFI car and ...

CTIS on Superduty axles

I found a cool writeup on how to put a Central Tire Inflation System on 05+ unit bearing axles, front and rear. It is the first system for a truck without using Portal axles I have seen. Check it out and comment about it here. I wonder if a unit bearing knuckle could be adapted to TTB front end. I d...

My favorite trail is Canyon Sin Nombre to Fish Creek and the drop off into Split mountain. A lot of fun for a night run.

Re: Superduty Knuckle on a Dana 50 TTB

It was just a thought. The ease of service would be nice. I was looking for knuckles for the Dana 50 and there were a lot more newer Superduty knuckles verses the 95-97 F250 knuckles I was looking for. I have had 37X12.50R16.5LT tires and steel 24 bolt Millitary double beadlock wheels on my 1999 F35...

Re: Stub Shaft Keeps Falling Out

I know I am reviving an old thread, but has anyone thought of converting a non bolt in third member to a bolt in? It would seem to be easy to drill and tap 3 holes. The hard part would be the bearing and seal on the outside of the case. Maybe weld a spacer to the case, matching the bearing and oil s...

Re: 7 Degree Reamer

I'd the Dana 44 lower ball joint hole 7 degrees. In the past I did the cut and turn buy reusing the cut one and moving it out. I am going to make a bullet steel one piece lower mount. I keep seeing two angles 7 and 10.

I am going to get a reamer.

Re: All Band 100w Radio experience.

I am looking at a couple Icom or Yasue quad band radios with the detachable face, but most are only 50w with the Mars/cap channel expansion. Some of the new ones can be unlocked with a password and you don't even have to cut any jumpers like older USA legal FCC radio's. For now, the Kenwood TK790H a...

Re: All Band 100w Radio experience.

In this case, it is not for racing. I definitely prefer real race radios like the Kenwood TK790H or if on a budget, a TK730H. I own both of those and they both work great, the TK730H is a little more difficult to get programmed, but a computer literate person with Windows XP experience can get it to...

Re: 12v power for switch pros

The Switch Pro is basically a solid-state relay. If you wire it properly there should be a power supply directly from the battery. This is the power to supply all your lights and accessories. Then you have the Light Blue wire, which is a ignition sensor trigger wire. It turns the Switch Pro unit on ...
