Escorts 2nd SAS

Nice score on the driveshaft. Now no more replacing the carrier bearings!!!

 

[escort_gts]

Yep. The bushing around the bearing was shot and it was only in there less than 1000miles.

just be careful with the aluminum drive shafts and wheeling. if i remeber right rangersvt hadone on hhis truck and ripped it apart on the trails

 

[escort_gts]

I don't plan on doing any hardcore wheeling. No rocks just trails and such. Maybe some mud pits next month.

 

[escort_gts]

It's surprising what a difference a one piece driveshaft does......

 

[escort_gts]

I will be going to the Take-A-Part again tomorrow to get a radiator, hopefully....

Just worked a bunch of overtime this week so I will have plenty of money to get the things that need fixed done. Front driveshaft lengthened, spool installed, and a tune up. My plans are to finally make the trip to Bundy Hill Sept 3rd.

Since I will have the radiator out, I will put the electric fan in and remove the ac condenser.

90-95 taurus 3.8L electric fan FTW.. 2 speeds and moves some serious air

 

[escort_gts]

I still have the electric fan from the other ranger. I might use it, not sure though. Might make some kind of shroud for it. I think it came from a camaro?? got it from my brother, he got it from someone else..worked fine but I need to find a different way to hook up a temp switch. The one I was useing turned on at 150* and almost ran all the time.

I will keep an eye out for a fan tomorrow

 

[escort_gts]

Got a radiator today. Just need to check it for leaks first.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i always keep my condensor. kinda like radiator armor. and it flow's plenty of air to keep the motor cool. some ppl are concerned with them plugging with mud and what not but i've never had that issue, however i have had sticks jamed into it that otherwise woulda been too close the the radiator for comfort

 

[kroussinoffroad]

btw am easy/quick way to check radiator's if you dont allready do this is to cut a bicycle innertube in half and hose clamp it to both sides of the radiator then just use the valve stem to air it up. spray it down with soapy water no bubbles no problem
