  1. Exhaust smells like turpentine

    Anyone have any idea why my exhaust would smell this way? I know that my truck runs rich due to a bad computer/carb combo and that I need to do the duraspark conversion, but I wouldn't think it would smell like that. I know rotten eggs out of the exhaust would be a bad cat, but the truck had a...
  2. What do these engines rev too?

    I installed a tach this last week on my B2. Last night was the first time I had driven it with the new tach installed (it's my toy, so I only drive it about once a week). I floored it to see what it revved to and at full throtle I shifted at 3800 rpms. That seems really low to me. Do these...
  3. Front crank seal leaking

    Just as the title says. I bought my bronco last April, and realized it had a small leak around the front crank seal, but it has persistantly gotten worse. I had figured it had somewhat dried up b/c the truck only had a few thousand miles since the engine rebuild. I was told high milage oil has...
  4. Think its time to change my fluids.

    I have the stock 28/7.5 axles on an 84 B2 and was wondering what fluids would be good to use (lucas/royal purple or just regular gear oil) and how much for each axle so I know how much to get. Also what gaskets or just use rtv silicone? Thanks in advance Wes
  5. Little C5 Help Please...

    I noticed when I went to the offroad park on Feb 19 that at the end of the day, going up steep hills the trans started slipping then catching and so on. I don't drive my truck very much and have only put 50 miles on it since then, but decided to take my daughter out today after school and it did...

  7. Anyone have an Optima Battery?

    I have one in my B2 (in ther when I bought it), and it's just over 3 yrs old, but now it's not holding charge overnight. I'm hopefully going to get it tested tomarrow, but was just seeing if that's as long I can expect it to work. If i jump it off my autometer volt guage starts at 12v then goes...
  8. Little different look for the gen 1/2 tails

    I did this to my 84 B2 just to add some flare. I did this out of bordom so don't flame me too much. I used duct tape, and some flat black spray paint i had lying around (sprayed into a little cup) and a brush. Basically made sure it was taped real good and brushed it on so it's not the...
  9. 84 Bronco II restomod.

    I bought this truck April 2010 from a friend who inherited from his grandfather. When I picked it up it had 47K original miles and my friend already had the engine rebuilt, custom interior, and a crap paintjob to keep it from rusting.
  10. C5 shifter problems after 3"bl

    Today my trans was acting wierd after 3"bl. In drive it was acting like it was skipping between drive and neutral. I made it home and when I got on my street and hit a bump it jumped to into neutral. So I shifted into 2 and that locked it into drive. Once I got to the garage I shifted to 1 to...
  11. Questions about body bushings and filler plate after body lift

    Well one of the bolts locked up in this nut/bushing contraption and now I need a new one. :annoyed: So does anyone know how to get this nut out? http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/WesB_photos/Picture009.jpg And I want to make a filler out of sheetmetal or aluminum (not diamond plate)for...
  12. Exploder springs on B2, have questions

    I am hoping to get to the junkyard soon to get some exploder rear springs to replace my sagg suspension. My question is, is there any particular model or year to look for to give me the best lift? I already have the front springs/swaybar. Thanks in advance Wes
  13. saggy rear suspension

    I'm sure my rear springs are kinda saggy as they are 27yrs old, but I have a feeling that my rear shocks are crappy and also allowing the rear the sag. Is it feasable or is it just my springs? I am planning on upgrading to explorer rear springs (when I get a chance to go to the junkyard), but...

  15. Spring swap

    Wasn't anything special, just some exploder front springs that I bought off Kolton (thanks bud). It did give me a small lift, but more importantly stiffer springs so that my tires quit hitting my fenders. last pic is for comparison.
  16. Hopefully doin my 3" bl next weekend, has some ?s

    First off thanks in advance for your help. I'ver never been into offroad, always been into to sports cars, but thought this might be cheaper. I got a Performance accesories kit from Kolton, but it doesn't have the steering shaft extension. One of my questions is, did any of y'all have to use...
  17. B2 vs Exploder sway bar

    I picked up an explorer sway bar and springs last weekend (along with a body lift that is going on this weekend), and was wondering what the difference is between the two. From the looks of it, the bronco bar is actually thicker, but the bushings that goes on the framerails are thicker. I've...
  18. Pics of my low miliage 84 in the snow

    It's not very often we get snow in east texas but I got to drive in it almost all day, which doens't bother me. Put these are some pics that I took with my B2 after I got home. I did find out that my "A/T" tires suck off road, but great on the street. And this one is from Thanksgiving. And...
  19. Pics of two toned (on top).

    My brother is inheriting an 05 ranger edge in sonic blue from our grandfather. However I will probably be comindeering (sp?) it from him for a while. Our grandfather has lots of problems with his legs and wasn't able to wash or wax the top of his truck which made the top clear coat start...
  20. body lift ?s

    I appologize in advance because this is probably a stupid question as I'm used to sports cars, not trucks. I am wanting to upsize the tires on my rig from 235s to 31s and don't have the money for a suspension lift right now (but will do a 2" lift later) and was looking at body lifts (2" or 3")...
