My 88 Bronco, Just finished swappin the 7.3 IDI, ZF5, and RV Dana 70HD, in a couple months ago, Couldnt be happier. Actually thats a lie, im still looking for a d60 front end, some dually fenders off a 350 to cover the tires, and a turbo setup, then ill be happy. Only performance mods so far is the open 5" exhaust from the downpipes back thru the stacks, and Got the IP turned up 1.5 flats, will pump it up more when i get My Pyrometer. The truck is a monster with that diesel, I can almost pull the front wheels off the ground side steppin into second, I know i can if I launch from the line, but i havnt done it yet cause I know ill break somthin. It tows my old ass 30' travel trailer like its not there, braking will be better when i get the d60 tho. Got a whole thread at the FSB.com Forum with details about the swap. For some reason I havnt got any good video of the truck yet, when I do Ill post it.

And now a dumb question but whats Side steping? i never herd that

And now a dumb question but whats Side steping? i never herd that

Side stepping the clutch is one step short of power shifting, Basically as you begin your shift you slap the clutch in with the very edge of the side of your foot and let it slip off before the clutch reaches the floor, this allows the pedal to spring back and engage the clutch much faster than you could ever get it to "granny shifting" or leaving your foot on the pedal through the entire clutch pedal cycle. once you learn how to do it right, you can chirp the tires shiftin in just about any standard shift vehicle, or break em free and get sideways in somethin with some power. In my trucks case, the front end jumps about 6 inches up and is damn close to getting the tires airborn. Soon as I get her tuned like i want it, im hopin ill need to put some wheelie bars on it!

Also, If you ever wondered what double clutching is:
In a big rig, double cluching is used when shifting. The process is as follows: First you disengage the clutch (push the pedal in), shift the trans to neutral, then reengage the clutch, this allows the trans to match the engines rpms, then you redisengage the clutch, shift the trans into the next gear, and reengage the clutch. It sounds like alot but when done properly it is all one fluid motion and actually pretty fun to do. Personally, i hardly ever touch the clutch when shifing in a rig.

Double clutching in a sports car is a completely different animal, and sort of hard to explain. basically when raceing, In certain gears at certain rpm ranges when you know your car is "sluggish", you slap the clutch pedal in and back out as fast as you can, this allows the engine to rev out so when the clutch reengages at the higher rpm, the added potential energy in the centrifugal motion of the engine gives you an extra little push to help your car through that "sluggish" gear. This technique is mainly utilized in high revving low torque import trash, cause in a big block man's car you got all the torque you need to pull thu those gears.

Hope this helps

i knew what double clutching was, but i didnt know what side stepping was i will have to try that when i fix the truck that sounds fun Thanks man!

Apextrans that is almost the exact same color as mine! Yours is like the 4x4 SRW version of mine!

It was a Mopar color. Something like metallic slate gray. You got 2 extra wheels out back too.

One of these days i'll figure out how to post pictures...

Hey guys I always thought that the clutch was just to keep from grinding gears when you take off from a dead stop? Yes it is possible to start moving with out the clutch I did it once, 93 F250 351W ZF5.
