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 ...

Re: New twist on an old front end.

I like it. Great work, I think Andrew Cho it doing something similar. I do like the idea of getting rid of the ball joints. I wonder what maintenance and the life of the unibals would be on an everyday driver? I would consider uniball rubber dirt and water seals to keep them clean. I have run covers...

Re: Engine Builder and Machine shop

My issue is the Bronco will see mostly sand dunes, so higher RPM'S and tire speed is needed and paddle tires will get used eventually, so that is where torque may come into play I think. I will probably run 37X12.50R Baja TA tires buffed and have Scat Track hauler paddles installed. Probably 8 or 10...
