Re: Trouble Starting.

My bronco is doing the same thing. I took off my starter to see if that was the problem which its a little chewed up, but I still think its a fuel problem. I'll have to check my fuel system.

Re: valve cover gasket vs head gasket

Hmmmm, I dont know, i use the oil stabilizer and its worked fine for me, but i put in the whole bottle, just cuz its usually low on oil anyway and it seems to help for me at least. I've never used the stop leak before. the stabilizer says that it will decrease engine knocking, dry start up(no oil in...

Re: Body lift questions

well like i said, u can actually see how the ass end sticks down lower than the front end, so a 2 inch block in the rear levels it out with the front, my friend who has a 1990 bronco II put a 2 inch block in the rear and didnt even touch the front and it looks fine.he also got rid of the 205/75/15 t...

Re: Body lift questions

I personnally dont know, but i do know that these broncos arent naturally lower in the rear, and putting a 2 inch block in the rear actually will level it out for the front end. the rangers have those blocks stock, but for some reason they didnt put them on the broncos. When i get a better daily dri...

Re: valve cover gasket vs head gasket

My problem I guess is similar. I have a bad oil leak, and I'm assuming its coming out of the valve cover seals, because they are absolutly covered in oil. I'm going to change them her ein the next couple weeks. My knocking/clicking gets worse when theres less oil in it, imagine that, but I'm going t...

I just replaced the fan a couple months ago. But upon further investigation all the bolts were tight. Is was where ...

Re: axles replace

I know the easily replace the axels with 91-93 explorers but how much harder would a 94 explorer be? I came across a really cheap one that someone wants to junk and I plan on swapping the axels on my rig eventually.
