    U joint troubles

    For what it's worth I've seen some of these parts on Bronco graveyard for a bit cheaper than elsewhere (the one linked below is $7)- not positive on your truck's specs but this strap kit seems more reasonable than the one pictured above...

    U joint troubles

    Not positive what you mean by this but would assume it functions similar to a crows foot instead just has a 12 sided fitting. The torque value on the wrench may need to be changed a bit based on the length of the dogbone socket, to accommodate the torque value. There are calculators online for...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Dang! Came down to pick n pull by Olympia to check on a truck that got here less than a week ago. turns out it was a manual but the pedal and clutch assembly has already been snagged! Guess this is more in demand part than expected, pretty crazy. Plenty of fish out there but PNP seems high...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Thanks @ludite will keep this in mind. No manual trans trucks at pick n pull in my area but maybe some a few hours away around PDX. Thinking a used ebay part may be a decent option since it's more guaranteed than visiting all the different pick n pulls. If replacing, would like to keep the old...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    That was super cool and think about it all the time, I'm not worthy! Just got a generator to do some mobile welding and have been driving the truck around with all the necessary tools, just in case. Only have small stick inverter welder and not sure how that'll be on the cast aluminum.. Was...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    I believe the firewall being a weak point relates to the safety bulletin. My issue seems basically the same but the clutch pedal assembly housing rather than firewall And for posterity:

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Ah good to know LMC has some variation of it, was looking there but came up short. After adding the heim joint couple summers ago that really helped the clutch action but do seem to remember seeing some worn out cast aluminum - a pivot point seemed to be all ovaled out too. The clutch still...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Dang, not sure if this is a new issue or just forgot about it but noticed the clutch/brake pedal box bracket is cracked on the ‘88. Anyone deal with anything like this before? It seems like the ~87-91 years share the same bracket and then a new one was introduced in 92. This seems like a...

    When to “fully” bleed/vent fuel lines + crank no-start

    Hey all, have a question about when and under what conditions to “fully” bleed the fuel lines. The engine is a Volvo marine 2 cyl diesel, MD6B. Dealing with a crank but no start issue after not running the engine for about 6 months. I’ve cracked open the fuel lines at both injectors and get...

    Dana 50 tie rod sleeve L/R thread direction

    Probably just overthinking this. Bronco GY only sells one part for this and they say it fits both sides so fuggit good nuf for me. Maybe there are handed parts too sold from other places that work as well. If there are any issues with the BGY parts will post again

    Dana 50 tie rod sleeve L/R thread direction

    Hey all, Looking to get parts to rebuild the steering on a dana 50 ttb. Anyone know if the tie rod connecting sleeve should have both a left and right hand thread for either side of the truck? The moog part at Bronco graveyard [1] should fit either side but I've also seen other parts that are...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    Got a cowl seal for an 88 from bronco graveyard that fit well. Folks also have talked about making one from garage door seal and the like. Seems like a lot of water to leak from the intake imo but agree it’s worth trying for a start

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Here's a screenshot (sorry kind of hard to read) from the test video above on ranking the anti-gel performance of the test additives. I'm surprised Howes performed this well considering others don't prefer it - I do not have an opinion here just saving y'all the time of watching the video

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    Kdo provided the test video which is worth watching but kinda long. Since we're only talking about anti-gel properties Howes should work fine (as mentioned by the video PS and Howes are tested around min 7:45 - 8:30). It does not perform very well for lubricity, however. It doesn't get very...

    is it possible to change only these rubbers?

    I haven't personally seen the rubbers sold individually only as part of a unit assembly https://shop.broncograveyard.com/Top-of-Drag-Link-Tie-Rod/productinfo/32921/

    is it possible to change only these rubbers?

    Additionally Bronco Graveyard carries these parts and is a good website - LMC just happens to be the cheapest I have seen

    is it possible to change only these rubbers?

    Are these the outer tie rods or drag link? Am not familiar with the D60 but have been looking into equivalent steering components for the D50 ttb. The steering components are relatively cheap - like $15-40 USD from a website like LMC Truck [1]. Others on here will definitely be more knowledgable...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Wow no kidding that's cool about the Ti driveshaft, any specific reason or benefit for it?

    Steering parts and sourcing

    Dang yeah that seems to be the consensus. Guess it doesn't matter then, LMC ended up being the cheapest so... they win the race to the bottom

    Steering parts and sourcing

    Might just go with bronco graveyard actually, ordered from them in the past and all was good. Their prices are actually very competitive they're just out-o-stock of the full rebuild kit

    Steering parts and sourcing

    Anyone familiar with moog-suspension-parts.com?[1] Looking for drag links and tie rods and they seem to have some good prices and selection. Otherwise looking at Napa and Bronco graveyard but they're a bit more expensive - not sure what other options are out there 1...

    Bringing it back to life!

    It's refreshing to see wheel chocks and jack stands in a photo after some of the chit I've been seeing around lately..

    Engine knock on semi cold start?

    It was mentioned above just changing the oil more often can be good and that's all I really try to do personally. Would assume a small volume of a "reasonable" additive into oil wouldn't directly lead to major problems. People run all kinds of more permanent things through an engine like head...

    Check engine light at start up only. Stays on for a few extra seconds sometimes.

    Last winter check engine light didn't turn off after like 10-15 minutes of warm up. Slapped the dash and it turned off, hasn't been a problem since Aftermarket gauges all read good
