I believe there are pumps out there that already have ports for it, but not completely sure about the fords. I have heard nothing but good things about it being done. One of these days I would like to add it, but will try and add it to the second pump I want to add for rear steer, so this project is still a long ways out.
I could be wrong here but I don't think you need to upgrade anything, just fix what is wrong. Doesn't your pedal go all the way to the floor randomly when you are driving without braking at all?
Get your current system in proper order, maybe do some tbird front calipers, rear discs.
No, my brakes work fine. The only thing wrong is there's a little air in the lines and it's squishy sometimes, otherwise my brakes are in perfect working order, they just aren't good enough. I just had the front brakes done last fall.Quote:

like seth said get the air out, if there is air in the system the brakes will not function properly
thats your brakes that do that!Quote:

With a modded stock pump or a PSC unit, Pigpen can lock up all 4 tires up to ~35 MPH with an unmodified hydroboost and master cylinder. IMO, worth the investment but, not at this point in time for your truck.
After bleeding also check to adjust the thing in your rear drum brakes. If this is not adjusted brakes can feel very soft. This happens in the klogger after deep water/mud crossings.
They have never done that to me. You just have to be a man to stop my truck:flipoff2:Quote:

I've got the d44 socket to get the hub off if you need it, I'd hate to see you grind all the way through your disks and run over some poor frat daddy.... On second thought, you aren't allowed to use it.
you know what I meant:flipoff2:Quote:

Yup, they are all so bad nobody will turn them so $60 for new disks (each) and $50 for each drum.Quote:

Here's what I found, $30 for new disks (each) and $34 for each drum. So with the money you've saved by shopping on a lower shelf ($92) you could buy $18 pads and $17 shoes and save ~$57 dollars. Here's links :flipoff2:Quote:

and not kill a **** ton of drunk fratboys crossing the road.
Sparling, Why are you up at 5:46 am? This is the time me and ed have to run the boards!
and why shouldn't I run over the frat boys?
I'm up because my family just left for Colorado at 4 this morning and I can't go back to sleep.Quote:

Just use a flap disk on a grinder to smooth out the rotors and drums.
^^^nice! don't give out my flywheel/pressure plate resurfacing recipe!
check rockauto for those rotors and drums...good prices on chinese clap
Do it! I like the way the 92-96's swb looks when it's in the air.

Paint matches too!
Dick? We would never think you were being a dick...
Douche nozzle, maybe. :flipoff2:
I know thats why I edited it out before anyone saw it.
Do it! I know it's not the same model as your bronco, but I think it'd be a great mod.
what's orange and looks good on a ford? :D
hooters waitress?Quote:

I just want to move it to the back yard. Lighten up, Fracis.
Can i still do the fire mod? I heard real flames are the new hot thing, ask lan.... Nevermind TOO SOON!Quote:

I think as long as you reserve your self to the fact that '**** breaks' and you will have to fix those things, you will be fine. If you don't want to work on it (or pay/beg to have someone do it for you), then it is a VERY bad idea. Lots of folks trailed their DD, but they also seemed to have to do a ton of wrenching and sourcing JY spare parts to keep them running. I know I am one of the worst examples in the club for stuff like this, but you can see the extremes I have had to take my truck to for me to feel that it will be reliable on the trail enough that I will be able to drive it back on the trailer at the end of the weekend. With a little smarts on the trail, and plenty of preparation before hand (parts/tools/PMCS) you will be just fine I believe.Quote:

In stockish form, if it's getting hot just driving 70 down the highway, then you have enough problems that a bigger cooler and deeper pan will solve.
Wrenching I don't mind at all, I've rebuilt pretty much everything on my Mustang and done a fair amount of work on my truck. I'm definitely not scared to tear into something to fix it. And if something breaks, then it can sit in Lot 40 until I can fix it, as long as I can go home at the end of the semester, I live on campus so it's not that big of a deal for it to sit a while.Quote:

I think the only reason the first transmission went out was because I was just wailing on it at soggy bottom. That's when I first noticed the problems. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this one and not let it get hot. That is until I put a stick shift in.
I think that's why my trans is slipping so much now.:angry:Quote:

The biggest requirement to get **** fixed (especially in a hurry, i.e. when returning from a trip) is MONEY. Set aside a decent chunk of change to be your emergency fix-it fund. Your parents will lose patience with your wheelin habbit prety quickly if you have to call them to borrow money after every trip. Do not use this fund for upgrades or anything that isnt immediately necessary to get home.
repairs or beer. It's okay to spend the emergency fund on beerQuote:
