Sorry at this moment I have way to many numbers for axles, axle tubes, axle shafts, knuckles, u joints, ball joints, tie rod ends, drill sizes to do the TRO and the flip spacer. And the upcoming Buller Proof linkage swap over, I am totally overwhelmed.

I do know for sure that you do not want to use anything from a 75-76 (?) Highboy front axle that is low pinion, NO after market support at all, heck I can not even find a used OEM axle for the passenger side.

 

ho kay.
Very understandable
Will check in later.
All this reminded me of that ‘match-up’, bigger guys’ D44 match up to my liller guy's
for
U-joint
And
16 inch wheel
6th gen to 1 gen

 

Well got the passenger side front axel shaft back in (still stripped on the very inner part). I believe it was a incorrect axle shaft that was replaced way earlier. It held up for a while, but I believe it is to short and only was engaged by 1/8". And it finally let go on our last trip out.

No worries really, I just need to keep some fluid in the diff. And speaking of that, when we pulled the passenger side axle we pulled the front diff cover. 100% sure something is shot/worn out or broke in there. The ring gear has radial and axial play. I am pretty sure the carrier bearings are shot.

After I got the rest of the outer put on, I took the 38.5's off and stuck some 33's on for the dead load, for the trailer trip to the wiring guy. And that way it is WAY shorter for him to work on under the hood and get/lean over the door bars. He is also rewiring the dash with the basics.

 

I bet with the smaller tires this thing will shoot and scoot pretty good. It is getting put on the big trailer tomorrow for its road trip on Sat. Pics to follow.

 

Loaded and strapped with its low rider 33x12.50x15 tires. But that sure makes it way easier to reach and work on things under the hood.

 

My "new best friend" is already finding and fixing issues with the Bronco. Like the fuel tank pick up tube had a split/crack, so no wonder it was having issues there. And he got the OEM looking tank /intank elec fuel pump to work. Always best to have the elec pump submerged IN the tank.

EFi wiring harness next.

 

Update: So I took it to my EFI wiring guy and he fixed a ton of stuff/issues on it and now it starts and runs even better. I need to get a repop PCM to help a TPS issue, but it still starts.

 

Repop PCM came in, now I need to get that swapped out and reset the TPS. Always something.
