It looks like you are after more horsepower.(right?) Save your money for gears and a big block. I won't go on and on but someone else can take it from here...............................

i have 4.10 gears the i6 is a BRAND NEW FUEL IN JECTED MOTOR, the guy who sold em the truck replaced it 500 miles before he sold it

the 4.10 gears are a bit high for those 40" tires, might want to get some lower gears

for engine check this place out http://www.cliffordperformance.com/

what do you guys reccomend, for my 8.8 rearend that will be reliable as the 4.10

I have to wonder if this is even legit or you're just yanking our chain.... that said, the 8.8 won't be reliable w/40's no matter what motor you're running. The deeper you gear it, the smaller your pinion will be. Not good. The tranny you describe is probably a T18 but I coulda sworn Ford didn't use that past '87, on either the I6 or V8's.
Plus your D44 TTB front is not gonna like 40s... drop to 36" tires or swap your whole drivetrain for a 1 ton setup...

What the Fawk are you trying to say here?
That last paragraph is worse than Chief's usual chit..
Dump that 300 if your running 40's, period...

Any one wanting to run bigger than 33" should definatly swap drivetrain. I have 35's now on my 88 F-150 and I am chewing up bearings like crazy. Plus when going up hills you get the ever famous IFS Jitter!! And anyone running 44" on IFS is FAWKING retarded and people who do that are usually street pounders trying to look cool but to actuall wheelers they look retarded!! so if you wanna be a garage hound and a street pounder, which being from the suberbs and having honda in you name you may want that but if you actually want to hit the trails then I would swap out the axles.

Lozy:beer:

Oh another thought. the 300 is a nice engine they are pretty srtong and reliable. we have them in a couple of our work trucks and they work fine. However if you are running 40's then you will want some power to be able to turn and to be able to even clean the tires so I say look for a 351 or 460

Lozy:beer:

Lozy01 maybe u have ur wheel bearings too tight b/c i'm also running on 35's and its been holding yup just fine :)
i know a few ppl who still have the Dana 44 TTB front end running pretty large tires and it seems to told up pretty well...

hey DaBeef...havent seen u in the BB chat room in a while and hows those broncos holding up :)

New newbie :flipoff:

I have 2 Broncos

1980 and 1986

One has had a dana 44ifs for 8 years, with 44" Boggers, a 460 running 10:1 compression .620" lift cam, and ported to the max closed chamber heads.. You guess the horsepower...
Front and rear lockers...
Street pounder, :rolleyes: , hardly..
I have NEVER broke a front axle, or ujoint... PERIOD.... I had one wear out on the slip yoke, this was the original with 250,000 miles, and that is it...

My other Bronco has a 14 bolt rear and I am building a dana 60 front...

I have heard for years that a d44 ifs is crap... Not in my opinion it has never failed me...
It has been airborne many times, played in MILES of mud, and thousands of road trip miles.. So F' Off Dipshit..

Yes I get real annoyed by this
:D
This is why Im going 1ton on the other, so i dont have to hear this shit anymore, fawk:mad2:

:mad:

:mad2:

:skull:

:nuke:

:mad3:

If it has a cast iron case and aluminum top cover it's an NP-435, if it's a cast iron case and cover it's a T-18.

With the I-6 and 40's your never gonna get the power your looking for. But it's a very reliable motor and will do the job just fine...just a little slower than a BB.

While I don't hate the TTB 44 as much as others (prob just cause I ripped it out so long ago I'm forgetting) if your at least not breaking 297X's with that motor and 44 boggers on a TTB44 I think you either have a very light foot and not much traction in the terrain you wheel....or your forgetting to engage the t-case lever.

Even with 35's and a mild 460 I was breaking several 297X's on my solid D44 every trip.

You Blind? These pics above are all with a d44..ifs...:D

Also Ive found over the years there is quite a difference between light foot and smart foot...

And all the pics look pretty slippery :flipoff2:, but theirs no doubt the tires are spinnin'...still hard to beleive the TTB44 (mostly the u-joints) is putting up with it. especially locked. Once I locked my solid D44 it seemed as if I could break u-joints at will.

I bet if ya tried that in the rocks it'd go :nuke: But then if it's workin' for ya what's it matter what I say.

What is a Rock ?

:flipoff2:

Obviously Im not into that :D

Hey Chad, wait till you move over here- we'll get you breaking stuff in no time :flipoff2:

Bring it :flipoff2:
I cant wait :D

Man Dabeef, you need a lotto ticktet, i had a firend with 35's snap a joint on the road to Tahoe!

I agree the d44 IFS maybe adiquite for some places. I am currently running 35 MT/R's on mine and I am having no prob. But because I know that I am no where near as lucky as you I would like a little more assurance that I am not going to break smoething. As for the the driving with a smart foot combine that with knowing when to let off and give it another try will keep most people out of trouble. I also agree with what rock??? I am from Indiana and we have a lot of hills, creeks, and wooded trails. I have been to Attica and I have had no problems up there either. They are strong but I wouldn't put a lot of extra stress on them if you don't have to. I have already had to replace the front bearings on mine twice. I guess it all boils down to what you are doing and what your style of driving is.

Lozy:beer:

Hey Chad, seeing as you're a miracle of modern science with those unbreakable 297's :D I was wondering what you thought the tires had to do with it.

I mean, most folks with locked D44's will agree that all you really need to tear the ears off a set of axles is to crank the wheels and give it a little gas.

But I don't know anyone else running boggers on a TTB, either. Think that lack of lateral traction has anything to do with it?



I'm not even going to start on how you're not bending TTB beams or rad arms or drop brackets, tho.... :D :D :D

TTB = "fairly strong"? LMAO :D :D

(who had to stop three times on the way home from B'fest to fix broken TTB bits) :mad:

their shawn i edited my previous statement

Lozy:beer:

DaBeef, Ya must wheel like a girl :flipoff2:

my measly little stock ranger v6 broke my locked d44 shafts and u-joints with just 35's, then I put 38's on and it went :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

I guess then that My bronco in heep clothes will Go :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: As well

TTB + heavy truck =

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR FRONT BUMPER

Dust Ball
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR FRONT BUMPER
I second that.... I need one like that for my F150.

That's a TJM BullBar but they no longer make it for '87-'91 trucks. I think they have one for the '92-'96 trucks but it's a different style. Do a search for TJM on the net to find their site.

The ARB Bull Bar is similar

There are still some ARB's left. 4WPW jacked the price in January, tho....

4WPW (http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2.asp?imseqn=1013&occlass=BULL&cat=TUB)

On my pig (http://www.superford.org/registry/showpic.php?pID=4442)

Dustin: LMAO at that pic. Where's the one of Dave's rad arm? I had that here somewhere.....

yeah thats the one i was talking about. how does it work for you shawn?

Lozy:beer:

Right now it's barely on the truck. It was a birthday present to myself.... it's only been on there like two weeks.

But my frame rails were 40-1/2" apart, the ARB was 40" wide. I was able to pull the frame together with a come-along and get the bumper on, but my tow hooks are still in the way.

Once I get that sorted out, it should be sweet. It doesn't have the best approach angle in the world, but it's strong, well-built, and supposedly bolt-on.

Makes it damned easy to work on the motor, too. :D :D

Well I know what to tell you.. you must be the luckiest SOB in a Ford. Don't get me wrong, I loved my IFS w/ 6" and 35x14.5 swampers. The thing seriously drove wonderful. But, take it off road and I'd snap shafts like toothpicks. Good for you that you're not breaking shit. I think you said you have a locker in the front. Are you sure it's not a LS

he said he was running a trutrack on my lockers post!!!!:flipoff:
Any way what year is the truck that was a half an inch to wide for the Bull Bar????

Lozy

I cant honestly remember... It's been a long time...
Im thinking its a traclock or some type of LS...
