ArdWrknTrk Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Yes! That is precisely why I have to be mindful of your time because you cannot help but help!! Don't fret about it. Who knows, you may just stump the chump! But if it's about chemistry, or material science it's not too likely. I'm cognizant enough to know what I don't know.

viven44 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Alrighty Finally tagged and on the road!! Took it on the highway for the first time. Did well considering it has those 33 inch mud tires. I do have a vibration right around 30mph, whether I’m coasting or rolling or accelerating or decelerating… whole truck shaking. Always 30mph. I’ve rotated tires but I have a feeling all the tires are somewhat out of round as this bronco sat for 3 years without moving. Also going to come down to 31 inch all terrain tires to reduce noise and improve city driving. (All the Ujoints are fresh and/or greased up well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll bet you are right about the tires being the source of the vibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viven44 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Looks good! But I'll bet you are right about the tires being the source of the vibration. Thank you!!! On the tires... I know the stock ones were LR78-15 (~235 75/15). https://www.ford.com/bronco/history/1978-1979/ They don't just look right.. 31s look better. The stock ones probably would do better for city driving..... more low end torque...... still thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Thanks a bunch Jim!! I sure appreciate that. I think you have taken a bold move here by sharing your cell. I can be quite a pain!! But I'll do my best to limit troubling you, as you are contributing your knowledge here already and hardly sleeping as-is. I do feel guilty already This thread came to mind because I'm about to get into a project with some basic table top epoxy and pigment I've ordered from Amazon. Hopefully the doctors will spring me tomorrow and I can take photos for you. Obviously I won't have data on how well it withstands UV long term, but I can give you an idea about cure times, how effective a heat gun v/s torch is for popping bubbles, etc...

ArdWrknTrk Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Thanks Jim! Appreciate that! I just noticed this. The cheap (inexpensive) bar top style epoxy arrived. I'm going to try to get by the boat store to get white pigment, but tomorrow and Wednesday are booked solid with doctors, possibly another MRI, my annual dentist, and a follow-up w/ the sports medicine guy about building more strength up in my left knee (the one that has a 22 year old torn MCL) But, if they're going to replace it, I don't really see the point. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viven44 Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 Take it easy! And keep us posted. Just came across this 460 for sale (it sold already) as I setup an alert for a 460 as I'm looking for the saginaw brackets https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1458664291689962/ I just realized there is an idler pulley for the AC Where can I find the AC belt diagram for a 84-86 460 with AC ? I am missing the idler... the AC belt runs from crank -> water pump -> AC compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
