    Don't think the new fords like that. Think I heard they give some trouble because the gauge stays on full too long.

    Yeah my truck get confused when the fuel gauge stays on full for 100 miles. It goes to empty but clears itself when you restart the truck

    Any body know the differences between the NASCAR detroit lockers and a standard detroit locker, besides the NASCAR being for the bigger bearings?

    I believe the nascar is a short track version of the detriot that was designed specifically to turn left. according to detroit's website it has some sort of preload built into it that the other lockers don't

    After looking a good bit of searching it seems that the nascar ones on ebay normally are not the short-course only turn left version and the only major difference is stiffer clutch springs. The stiffer springs just make the 'clunk' louder and engages more easily.

    If I wanted a cj7 to lightly wheel and fart around the ranch in, what's the best model? What should I look for? Fair price?

    304 is fun in them. For wheeling, try to stay away from the 3 speed, no crawl ratio. Some of the 70s models came with a heavy 4 speed, forget what it was, maybe T18, has the low gear. 80+ will all have the d300 case and a better gear ratio. 80-81 could come with an SR4 transmission, it is junk, most have been swapped out by now. The t4 and t5 are OK. T176 is good/strong but the ratio is not as good, still probably better off with it though. All the automatics were good, beware the one that came with quadratrac as quadratrac is junk.

    Late 70s started to come with disc brakes which are nice, as well as power brakes. Not sure when steering went power.

    You can still buy good ones for $6000 I think, will take a little searching.

    for what you want to do, I think a 77-79 with the quadratrac would be ideal. its all wheel drive and the diffs are in the correct place.


    and what the hell is wrong with this board? Why do I have to attempt to log in 3 times before it takes, try to reply a bunch of times, then go to compatability mode and have to attemp to log in a few more times, then watch it time out when I click reply unless I hit the advanced reply button? Its been this way for months.

    Is that on your phone or computer? What browser? I've experienced the reply problem a couple of times on my phone, but it always works on the second try.

    Quadratracs aren't junk, but there is little to no availability of replacement parts for them unless you want to put in a Milemarker PT kit or disassemble 4 Quadratracs for parts to make a good one. So for plain and simple reliability and low maintenance I'd warn against the QT unless you planned on driving on icy roads a lot, which is where the QT shines. Which it sounds like you won't.

    Plus an automatic CJ is just wrong.




    Flem, it's not 1998 anymore. Ditch IE for anything else. Use an old sneaker for a browser if possible because even that's better than IE.
