So I go out this morning to get my car warmed up(98 ford escort). Starts fine, runs fine.....won't move!! It is stuck in the street in front of my house! Won't move 2 inches. Ok, fine, grab the keys to my truck. Go to my truck and all I get is a click, click, click. I knew I should have replaced that 8 year old battery that I knew was dying!! So I hop in my Bronco. Fires right up and gets me to work! Yes this is the same Bronco I posted about yesterday with the eaten transfer case! It screamed at me the whole way but made it!! I just hope it will get me home before it locks up completely! I will be taking it easy and going slow for sure! Top it all off.....I left my breakfast and lunch for the day in my escort. Is it 5 yet???? |

That is a bad morning - like Dan said - nothing better than ending it with the Bronco Brothers. |

Looks like my problem may be in my front diff. Not sure what happened but my guess is my "spooled"(welded spider gears) has failed after 5 years of use and abuse. I will crack it open tomorrow night and take a look. I am not sure I am going to be able to make the snow wheeling trip at this point. If the gears are gone there is no way to make the trip as I am poor. If it is the carrier I may be able to make it still. It all depends on what I find! |

Ouch, that sucks. What ratio gears are you running? |

I am running 5.13 gears. Not likely to find those anywhere cheap! |

That is a bummer. I've seen a decent number of 4.56 on craigslist, not likely to find 5.13 any time soon. Maybe knock out a few bumpers? I'm guessing you'd sell them fast and be able to make a bit of cash. |
