I am having some problems with my bronco. Sometimes it will kick over and start and some times it will not start. I am always getting spark so I think its a fuel issue.
Is this both with and without the chip? I'll look into the continuous fuel pump problem.
Yes robert it happens both ways. I got a new pressure reg to intstall.Quote:

Flem but checking the pickup by turning the distributor and hearing the fuel pump kick on does not work. I had to change the pick up.
I am also getting a wierd code 96 secondary fuel pump circuit. Some kinda fuel pump monitor circuit. No idea whats thats about.
I must have most of the brain tonight :flipoff2:Quote:

More little problems with this guy.
It will start up and run for about 1/2 sec. I have a error code 14 and 66. Which is the pickup coil and the Mass Air Sensor. I have just replaced the pickup coil. So I am thinking the Mass Air Sensor got smashed some how.
PIP problem seems to be your best guess, should still run without the MAF hooked up
Turns out I have 3 spark plugs not firing. This could be some of the starting problems. I guess V-5's dont run very well.Quote:

Have you looked at duff's or broncograveyard yet? They have some cool stuff out.
fox or sway-a-way. I wanna see this thing on jackstands for another 5 years :flipoff2:
James Duff has some cool stuff but they are kinda $$$$$$. The kit that broncograveyard sells has superlift springs.
I am not sure if skyjacker makes a kit for broncos or not.
bronco graveyard has those super flexy coils that they make that Frick has.Quote:

Maybe Tuff Country :flipoff2:
I think I am gonna try the james duff system B 3.5 lift kit. I am going to have to add new rear springs packs cause one rear spring is a little messed up.
And Frick they are progressive rate coils :flipoff2:
My friend craig has the silver/powder blue bronco has james duff stuff on his. if your in CS you can look at it.
Superlift kits for EB's suck the big one. I'd go with BC, Wildhorses, or Cage. All of them use progressive rate springs and are way better than what the broncograveyard sells.

on fullsizes they recomend them for, 4 inch lifts and higher, It kinda depends if you are getting a trac bar drop bracket? or adjustable trac bar. if you go with the trac bar drop bracket get the drop pitman arm.
But i myself would go with the adjustable bar from square one, put on the lift, and drive it and see how it feels, if it dont feel quite right slap a drop arm on it.
Mine had a drop track bar bracket, no drop pitman arm, and bumpsteer like a son of a *****!!!!!
You'll need a drop track bar bracket and drop pitman arm if you want to go with a 3.5", or do a TRO and you wont need the pitman arm
After I figured out what year bronco I needed to order parts for I got a wildhorses system 3 3.5" lift for it. I also go the drop pitman arm for it.
all the lifts should be the same for the 66-77 broncos, only change could be drop trac bar bracket. Did yours come with PS and PB?
Yeah I was not sure what trac bar drop bracket I needed.Quote:

you need the drop bar for the 76-77 then, and do yourself a favor and ditch the Y-steering

And since I am not tate I can not blow money on this project like its coming outta my ass. :flipoff2:
I am gonna run the y steering for a bit
You are a young single mechanical engineer with a job as such, you're loaded, spend it.

Edit from last weekend with the strippers and firetrucks my camera is MIA. I will have to get a camera from work.
Rear susp is complete. It always sucks when you lend you tools out to people and they keep them for months on end KARL. I really could have used that bad dude hot wrench. I had a little trouble getting the old bushing outta the shackle. The rubber bushings have that super metal rim around them that pretty much you have to sell your soul to the devil to get out. Thanks to KARL I had to make a deal with the devil.
Next Job is the front susp. I gave everything a good coating of PB blaster so things should be alright. That and I am a rebel and run my impact at 120 psi when bolts do not come out.
I stole the camera from work but left the cable at work. Pics tomorrow. Its really not that exciting anyway but I did air up the tires.
I skimmed over this entire thread. It's kinda like a soap opera!
What active thread still has posts from austin? Or for that matter content from when we lived on Austin St. IT NO MATTER!
