this vehicle never fails to, well... fail...
i have an 87 broncoii 4x4 with the 2.9L, on 33"s
newly rebuilt motor, transmission, front end, and countless other projects.
Two days after i finished the front end, while driving home on the highway, the gearing in the rear diff. of my stock 7.5in axle went haywire. and i ended up driving the last mile home at about 2mph.
ive been looking to find stock gearing for a reasonable price. but im afraid that they will break again, especially when i put it on the trails again.
WHAT gearing would you recomend i replace the old with. Or should i keep the stock. the gears MUST hold up to highway speeds!!
i just recently graduated highschool and am on a fairly tight budget. but it is my daily driver, so i dont want anything too cheap.
sorry this is so long, but id rather put alot of info now and answer fewer questions later.
thanks,
Kolton
