does anyone who has done a SAS on a bronco still have all their old TTB crap? Im pretty sure my **** is shot on my bronco and i dont have the money to start an SAS right now or the money to fix up the current one. id rather just put a working system in it for now.
I dout its all broke and if it is just throw the bronco away.Originally Posted by ol burj
Figure out what you need, ie differential, axle shafts, hubs or brakes and ask for that. Also I think you have an 80 and from what I hear not everything interchanges.
Edit - You might want to pm karl I know he is a big fan of TTB

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
oh an 80 is the bastard bronco.
i agree, i highly doubt you could blow up an entire ttb setup.
What do you need? I don't have an entire unit right now (I will once I do a 1 ton swap) However I do have a 3.55 carrier, shafts, maybe a spindle or 2. What makes you think it is "shot". Describe what it is doing and I bet we can get it going. Is it making noise? both wheels not spinning?
Like others mentioned the 80 to 82 is a little different, but the parts fit. I am trying to remember, it is something with how the hidden TTB u-joint mounts to the carrier. I have a "modern" ttb in mine.

The 87 - 88 was also a bit of a bastard with the hubs attached to the wheel, but really what bronco isn't a little bit of a bastard.

ok, tranfer case engages, front shaft spins, hubs locked, there is a clunking noise coming from what sounds like the third member. i was told it could be the hubs, i dunno cause i havent had a chance to mess with it yet on the account that i havent been home. they look factory so they probably need to be replaced. or its the third member. im going home after thanksgiving to work on it so any ideas would be helpful
By third member you mean differential (the third member is on the 9in). My guess is blown up spider gears or broke ring and pinion.

yea that. so should i replace my hubs first and then go from there? i was told the hubs might be bad if there was play in the axle shafts (like back and forth motion from the wheel to the diff)
Try the hubs first. Heck I bet some people in the club would let you borrow a set to see if that is the problem. Other problems might be that 1 of the three u-joints in the axle shafts could be wornout/ broken. Then if hubs and joints check out pull the center chunk and inspect for problems. I gave Robert cook aka Sasquatch a 3.55 ttb center chunk a couple months ago call him and see if he wants to part with it.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Cook has one in the backyard at dexter. i just saw the ttb center today.
I would guess it is a hub or broken shaft. Hubs, go buy some mile markers or warns to replace them.
If it is a shaft, several of us have extras.
TTB's are like a 9" in that the gears come out with the rear of the TTB, so it is like a 3rd member. If this is the issue, I have one, so does cook. The good thing about this is you can bolt it in place and you do not have to mess with setting the gears up.
Oh, make sure your truck actually has 3.55's. Ford liked to randomly throw a 3.00 in there.

I might have a couple extra pieces if karl is missing them. I think I am down to all solid axle pieces though. Also, SAS really isnt that bad, just intimidating.

i think i figured out what the problem is. on the passenger side there are two shafts leading from the differential to the outer shaft. they are connected by what looks like the longer shaft fits into the shorter shaft. i believe there is suppose to be some sort of rubber boot over this but thats long gone. anyway i believe the splines in the shafts are striped out. if i lock the hubs and turn the driveshaft by hand, the shorter shaft spins and grinds over the longer shaft inside of it. can i just weld these two shafts together or is that a bad idea?
Very, very, vary bad idea. That splined shaft is there to allow wheel travel on the long side. If you weld this you will either push/pull your hub apart during flex.
Here is a link to a drawing of the TTB and it's many parts
Sounds to me like you need a complete long shaft, so basically remove the entire passenger TTB side, undo the secret TTB U-joint, and replace that entire assembly.
I in no way envy you!
