Well I guess it is time to replace the valve seals on my 2.8L motor that is on my 84 BII. I am having a hard time getting emissions to pass, as it puffs some smoke now and then. How hard is it to replace the valve seals on this motor. I am not a mechanic, but I just put new inner,outer bearings, ne...

im with the canuck :redneck: , 78-79 bronco dana 44 is the way to go. some other trucks you may find what your looking for are- 68-79 f-150's, full size rangers, f100's 6?- 29 f250's (highboys) you will get either a dana 60 or a dana 44 HD- a 44hd is nothing more than a standard dana 44 with 3/4 tom...

Also, What do I look for when looking for D35 parts? I keep getting Jeep rear D35's in all of my searches. Know a good place? if found this for you, its a good place to start since i know very little about the dana 35. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/4wd_Front_Axles.html trust me im no...

I am getting a full size bronco for free (mid 80s, not sure exact yr yet) but it runs just needs a new transfer case. I have had a B2 layin around for a few yrs and have always had plans to build it into a 4x4 beast just haven't gotten around to it. I know that the 302 can be swapped but what about...

phrox- i agree for me its definetly a 44 with a 5.0 but i wheel hard and break things like they go out of style, but steve is not going to be doing that, and it sounds like he might not have that much experience in conversions and fab work thus he needs something that suites his needs. steve- dana d...

When I said you guys were stuck on the D44's, I didnt mean that in a bad way. I just mean I dont think I will be using the full potential of a 44 and it would be overkill. For this rig, I will be driving on the road more then off. Any 45minute-an hour trip for some trail riding, I will drive it the...

i agree with phrox in everything he said. only thing is i believe your not wanting anything extreme just some mud and trail riding is this right? if so like i said you can go the dana 30 straight axle as a alternative since you say we are stuck on the 44. you question about is there any axles that a...

old f series (by old i mean up to 1979) have straight axles some 5 lug 44's some 8 lug 44's ( called 44hd) and some have the golden dana 60. any of these will work great. yes they are wider than the stock bii and also the explorer. if i recall rightly they are 6" wider, so 3" each side but...

The air filter is brand new, But i have tried running it with the filter cover off,
no change. I'm about ready to try a different engine, maybe a 5.0!!!

any luck ??? keep us posted

wishi could help, but other than tearing the axle apart in a extremly crude way i have never worked one these hubs.

You were correct about the GM 12 bolt and on the cheap. However, I have changed my mind about both. After making the brackets for disk conversion, I realized it would be a better choice to do an explorer 8.8 swap and ride on the stock 3.73's for a while. The explorer 8.8 is also a bit stronger then...

Also, Is D44 the smallest straight axle? Im trying to avoid the TTB setup. Ive read that explorer 8.8's are 58.5" wide, how wide are the Dana 44's? What are they most common on? smallest straight axle i think is the jeep dana 20, i would avoid anything but a 44 or larger. there is a reason the...

Well if I do it I will probably do a 4.0 swap just for how easy it will be, but at the moment the Bronco is up for sale and I kind of want to sell it to get a Cherokee or a Wrangler because I truly am a Jeep guy. I guess I'll see how that goes since the Bronco isn't street legal it's gonna be tough...

Yeah so my '89 BII saw a little beach action in it's day; sand up around the linkage & embedded into the excess grease around the tie rod boots and such. Apparently whomever was doing the servicing didn't bother to wipe things down before using the grease gun because three out of four fittings ...

I got it running! i tried everything i could think of and got it to run by puttin a little seafoam in the tank but turns out it has a bad trans... it wont even roll thanks for keeping us all updated ! awesome that you got it started, sucks that you can't drive it. you said it sat for awhile, it may...
