just a stock daily driver 5.8 that seems to still be going strong, no smoke just a bit of a rear main seal leak.
|
Drivetrain: |
Stock EO4D believe it is the 8.8 rear end, Dana 44 front
Think it is 3.5 gears but have forgotten since I looked it up |
Notes: |
Started to redo bottom side, still stock. Brakes front and back, rotors, calipers, cylinders, brake lines, fuel lines. most of which I will probably have to redo because I was poor and bought parts thru e-bay....WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!!
Have had to replace fuel pump twice now.
Currently replacing all u-joints and ball joints are on the to-do list, SOON.
Rust in all the normal places, (No matter how hard I tried to keep it clean.)
Have replacement quarters sitting in a box.
I have had it since 1998, am 2nd owner.
Other than the fuel pump and the pick-up on the distributor only problems I have had were from abuse or neglect, (parked for 6 years)
PS: took it to 3 different Ford dealers with an erratic start issue and none of them could figure it out! Took a shade tree mechanic 10 minutes, most of which was me explaining it's symptoms and all the damn parts I had thrown at it trying to figure it out.
(Anybody need a New in the box CPU???)
Lived in it for 8 months.
Might have to sell it but really hoping to wheel it before that happens, have only had the fortune to do 4 or 5 moderate to easy trails as it has almost always been my daily driver and I have never known any good places to go or anybody to go with.
All my buddies have always had small vehicles and most trails in TN, (where I lived 2006-15 are extremely tight.
Anybody know where I can find a tailgate torsion rod guide loop. I"m not going to waste any effort on my tailgate until I can find one of these nasty little creatures!
I don't really have a name for it, but my brother calls it The Broncinator !!
Probably because I have had 3 Cougars and always wanted an Eliminator.
Even better, A Lifted Four Wheel Drive Eliminator!!
Oh well one can always dream! |
