Yeah working in 6* weather is not fun. Over here in Washington state we get a lot of rain so working outside is difficult.

So I've been getting round better on my foot and I ended up not fixing the slight sag. I moved my honda accord over in the garage and the Beast actually fits, by centimeters(heighthwise)! If that. So I'll prob just wait till summer to set it up, but I did fix the back window. The actual gear was shredded! The gear is half metal(front) and half plastic(back)...wtf Ford?? It's prob bc this cold *** weather up here in Omaha, NE! It was 2deg yesterday! Missin that Texas weather 4sho!

How's ur Bronco? Any new mods?

My bronco is fine, no new mods as of yet. I haven't had money to make mods. I have been waiting for money too fix my rear brakes and buy some headers/mufflers.

For your check engine light, I think the guys here would suggest hooking a code reader up to see if you can get anything.

Def need to check for codes. It's odd that it only flashes at certain RPMs. Is it always at a certain RPM or just periodically?

Nice looking Bronco! The rear springs are not hard at all to swap or add AALs. I would recommend replacing the U bolts and nuts as mentioned. They aren't too much.

That went smooth!

Ok, so I read the codes and it was a code 32(EVP circuit below minimum voltage of 0.24 volts).

All I did was change the EVP sensor($46) that's located right by the intake manifold and BaddaabiingBaddaboom! Light no longer flashes, shifting is much better and got some more of my HP back

Thanks Edgethis! Yea, I decided to not even bother with the AAL's and just go with an air-lift, they're not too ridiculously expensive.... After I decided that I was gonna do the air-lift, I had a dream the next night about a bronco that had an air-lift on it and I was super jealous! That was my "AhHaa" moment lol

Gruesomejeans, what kind of money are you waiting on??? Go after it or it'll pass you up! Don't be skurrd! He who has the most money has the most fun! lol. Where do you work?

Haha the kind of money that it takes to build an engine, replaced axle gears, buy and rebuild a transfer case, Uhhh and to buy my exhaust parts. That's only the expensive things that I can think of. I work on night a week at a chevron gas station stocking shelves. It doesn't bring in much but it covers bill for now. When I get my tax return I am going to buy the parts needed for exhaust, a set of hooker headers and some summit mufflers.

Good to hear you got it going strong! I'm fighting a hesistation on my coupe, no engine light to give me hints tho.

Are you looking into the air lift for the springs or air shocks? I wouldn't do air shocks, the air lifts for the springs are pretty nice from what I've seen.
