I'm cleaning out my garage and since I no longer have The Beast I'm selling a new (In the original box never used) Billet grill. It will fit all 90s Broncos. It is just like the grill I had on the beast and is the T-Rex type grill as sold on some retail sights. It's a bolt on part , but does...

A few days ago my father-in-law passed.  He was a car guy like me, and pretty unique. He restored Model A s, and we shared mechanical minds. His greatest gift was allowing me to marry his daughter. I'll miss "Shorty", and ask that those of you that feel fit, ask your Greater Being to grant him...

Ok, so I installed my electric fan conversion today, and thought I would check my plugs and timing since I had the garage to myself. I disconnect the spout connector and check the timing. It's about 14 BTDC. I reconnect the spout and I thought the timing should go to about 20 BTDC, but it...

So The Beast needs gear oil in the rear. I thought it hasen't been changed since I owned it, so I would do a drain and refill. I have seen nothing but synthetic gear lube in the parts stores, (and I'm a dino, and prefer their oil) so the question...is synthetic ok for The Beast? (96 5.0 EB)...

My neighbors 01 Sport Trac had the right front turn signal out. The rear was fine. He changed the bulb, still no light, so he had me look. I checked for power at the socket, found none!.....Ok wiring problem............BUT NO! I noticed the right turn indicator on the dash was not lighting...

This one is a little outside my realm of hands-on knowledge. I know you guys here will have the insight....so here goes. My neice has an 05 Ranger 4.0. The power steering occationally goes out for a short time. (just a few seconds) Usually when making a tight turn, like backing out of a...

If you haven't heard by now, Local (to me) Favorite son, Indy Car driver Dan Wheldon lost his life yesterday. He was the most genuine,kind and approachable figure in any sport I have ever had the fortune to meet. May all here offer sympathy and the strength of their higher power to his family...

Well after too much grimacing over the dings and scratches in the paint, I took an idea from Adamdude,( thanks Adam) and fixed the blemishes and gave The Beast new clothes......it's totally Duplicolor Bedliner in rattle cans! Added a billet grill and Vulcan headlights, as well as Anzo...

Took the Beast on a 400 mile trip, and the tranny started a leak. I want to wait to get home to do the fix...(front seal). and think I can get back by adding fluid about every 150 miles. Question is what type of fluid? I went to buy some and the parts store guy said not to use the Mercon V...

I need to replace the lower ball joints on my neighbors 03 Explorer sporttrac. I believe that the entire control arm has to be replaced. Am I correct in that? If so, how do I unload the tortion bar, and consequently how do I re-tension it?

I have been getting CEL code 0171 intermittently for about 6 months, in my 96 5.0 Eddie Bauer. (about 156K) It used to come on, I would check and clear and it didn't show again for maybe a few weeks. About a month ago I started to get the same code more often. I checked for vaccuum leaks, and...

My neighbors 04 SportTrac has the buttons on the steering wheel broken. They appear to have deteriorated from the sun here in Florida. Does anybody know where to get new parts other than the dealer. Can the buttons be replaced or does the entire wheel need changed/ Any help would be...

Darn, what a week I'm having! First my internet goes down, (using the neighbors network now) then that cel code 0401 pops up again. ( 96 fullsize w/5.0 auto and cold air intake.) I have cleaned the egr and verified it's working. I pulled off the throtlebody cleaned it and all the passages and...

I had to replace my IAC on Tuesday. (guess the long warmups took their toll). After replacement, the beast idled fine and ran great for a day. Then this morning I start it and it idles fine, but afetr a short drive the idle is high (1500-2000) and won't come down. I have no CEL as I did before...

I got an email today to remind me my car insurance was comming due, which prompted me to share some info. If your vehicle is 15 yrs old or more you may qualify for "collector, or specialty" insurance. This is MUCH cheeper than standard insurance. I pay about 1/2 a regular yearly premium. The...

I got the codes 0171 and 0174 that correspond to Bank 1 and 2 system too lean. So can I assume that means all cylinders are lean? Would the most likely cause be a fuel filter or pump? The filter was replaced about 15K ago. I have limited tools to check fuel preasure, so any advice would be great.

Ok so I replaced the 2 rear tires on my 96 Eddie Bauer, becaus one had a broken belt. they are 31x10.50s Falken Zieks LT s. Now on the highway when I change lanes the back end has alot of sway. Happens when i hit some uneven pavement too. Around town if I make a sharp turn it feels like the...

I have a 96 Bronco with a 5.0. It has a cold air intake and magnaflow exhaust. What else can I do (within a budget) to get more power. I don't want to get into the internals of the engine, so what is worth the investment? Power chip? TB spacer? ignition upgrade? What has worked for most of you?

Ok Ladies and gentilemen, I know alot of you are gonna say "WHAT!!!", but I want to lower my 96 Bronco 4x4. I can't find anything in a kit to do this. I'm only looking about 2-3" front and back. I know I may have to make some parts myself. Any sugestions?
