Look in farm supply stores and catalogs, that looks a lot like a bolt type used to hold plows and cultivator points. I don't know if you can get them in stainless though.

The bigger reason aluminum is so popular with the OEM's is that per pound it costs less than half what copper or brass does, and since a radiator built from it is lighter the money goes even farther. To the manufacturers a nickel a car is a worthwhile reason to change something.

While I have no personal experience with them from what I have seen on other forums the way to go with them is buy them bare and have them set up by a good shop with good springs, valves etc.. The finished ones are built with the cheapest possible parts and every corner possible is cut.

As far as I know there is not. I would get my money back if that happened, those should work without a VIN. If it worked right you could use it to scan any OBD2 car or truck before you buy it without going through all the VIN nonsense.

I got an error message and a PDF download, I have my browsers set to download PDFs not open them.

I think I remember the thread too, but I suspect it was a victim of Photobucket so the pics may be lost.

/\/\ That. The drag link (blue arrow) should be parallel with the track bar (yellow arrow).

/\/\ What they said x3 There is also a smaller pulley that can be used for that idler to give more clearance. (sorry, I don't have the part number on hand)

They changed the exhaust manifold from one that did not have a port and fitting to one that did. They changed the elbow from one that had a passage for exhaust to one that did not. The upper and lower stayed the same for a few years, and the early type can be used with a Mustang EGR set-up.

A Bronco did not come with any of that stuff OEM stock. If it did not come OEM stock you don't need it, isn't that what you are always telling people?

Ford started putting the exhaust gas fitting on the exhaust manifold before they ran out of intake manifolds with the EGR passages, so that is not entirely true. Normally they do use up all the old parts first, but not for Explorer EGR.

These are three of the reasons the Explorer front dress is so popular for Broncos. More radiator/fan clearance Better fan Better alternator

That really good electric fan draws 70 amps, the stock alternator replacement* puts out 65 amps.... *the originals put out 38 to 42 amps :o

I was looking at this and just can't get into a Candy Apple Red engine compartment with a Ford blue engine, a black one looks too dark to me so I ruled that out also. What I finally decided on is gray or a dull silver, either hammertone or Rust Bullet, with bed liner on the inner fenders (I know...

I just did a Craigslist search and saw a Bronco II for $8250 It looks like the rising Bronco price tide has raised the Bronco II prices also. Kind of like how the guys anxiously awaiting the 2021 Bronco will buy anything with the name Bronco on it just because it says Bronco.
