I know there are some mechanics out there. My friend at works has a early
90's Blazer (don't rag me because its not a Ford).  His digital dashes back
lights burned out and need to be replaced.  Can any one pull up the
instructions or know how to do this.

Thanks in a advance.

Joe

The actual illumination lights gone and the display itself works or did the
display die?

Pretty simple to pull the dash itself with a 7mm nutdriver and/or a T-15
driver; if it's the back-light bulbs they're in twist out lamp holders, beyond
that you might try taking apart the panel (5.5mm I think?) to see if there are
any replaceable bulbs inside.

Feel free to e-mail me off-list if you need more detail on the removal or
other questions about it.

Will,
Smittybilt makes just what you're looking for. It's called the Outland Sport
Bumper Guard. It's not as large as a regular grill guard, but it's the same
width, but doesn't extend to the full height of the engine hood like most
grill guards. It also comes predrilled for lights and it mounts directly to
the frame. It's relative cheap also. $178.00 for black and I think around
$250 for the chrome.

I have a problem with morons that don't know how to park or pull out of
parking spots and basically use your truck bumper and license plate as a
bumper stop for their own car. The full brush guard I have on my Expedition
has proven itself over and over in the last 4 years.

I have the above product on order from Carparts.com for a Supercrew I have
on order right now and it looks like it'll provide the same bumper and front
airdam protection as the full guards do.

Just wanted everyone here to know that I've taken on a
temporary consulting job (3-4 months) with the Dodge
Turbo Diesel Register web site.  Don't worry, I'm not
abandoning Ford Truck Enthusiasts --- just helping a
colleague, Robert Patton.  He's in a bind because his
admin has resigned.  I'm helping him automate the site
so a non-techie can admin it.  I'll be turning the keys
over to him as soon as possible.

Ford trucks are, and will continue to be, my primary
focus.  TDR will take about a day of my time per week,
occasionally a couple of days per week.  Don't think
this means I like Dodge trucks, I'm a Ford guy to the
core!

I wanted you to hear it from me, not someone else who
might spread false rumors.  If you have any questions,
feel free to ask.

Subject: Hub Seals

Has anyone on the list had to replace the O-Ring Hub seals on an '86
B-II 4x4
with Manual Hubs? If so, where did you find them?

Ford dealer wants $190 for the Hub service kit but the parts guy said
you can buy just the seals from an off road shop for much much less.

I havent been able to find anyone who sells just the seals.

Any ideas?


Thanks
