Hey guys, I'm located in Southern CA and looking to order a Bronco for my wife. Naturally, the two dealerships I've talked to, Price Ford in Simi Valley and Vista Ford in Northridge, say Ford isn't letting them order any new Broncos until next year (not sure why I thought this would be...

There's a Air Conditioning feature in the Sniper software that proactively ups the idle to compensate for the extra load of the AC compressor. It's a one wire trigger that can potentially be tied into the safety switch in your shifter to come one when you put the boat in gear (might need to be...

To me it seems to be fuel related as mentioned already. I know with the Sniper EFI on my hotrod if I wait for the fuel to build pressure ( I have a fuel pressure gauge but you can hear an obvious change in the fuel pump tone) it fires right up regardless of how long it's been sitting. The only...

That's very cool of you @Fastdadtsmith, it's people like you that make this such a great community! As my brother mentioned, our buddy has a 30 that we'll try first and see how that goes. We'll have our families in the boat most of the time with the Bimini up so the 28 might end up being the...

Motor was dyno'd, peak tq at 4600 and peak hp at 5700. Our MSD box has a digital readout, we could use that to verify the RPM is accurate.

We just upgraded from Hyd assist to full Hyd to the helm and it was well worth it. When we talked to Ron at IMCO he suggesting making the transition to full Hydraulic on any boat that goes faster than 60, said it's a must for safety reasons if it goes over 70. Not sure what that setup is worth...

After a lot of feedback/suggestions and issues with the hydraulic assist steering, we decided to upgrade to full hydraulic. Aside from being much safer, the steering felt 100% better. Still need to tie up a couple loose ends like routing/securing lines and installing swim steps etc. I have a new...

I haven't built one yet but I definitely will one day! 4-5yrs ago I got close to buying one and did a ton of research at that time, including talking to quite a few people that had built them in their garage. The feedback seemed to be very consistent in that it was very easy to put together, no...

He's on Instagram under @unitednuclearbob. George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell were on Joe Rogan recently and said they still talk to him all the time. He must be feeling a sense of redemption with everything that's been coming out lately.

I'd have a fuel pressure gauge plumbed right before it enters the carb and confirm you have a flow/pressure issue before replacing anything else. Might be a long shot, but I had a similar issue happen with one of my old v-drives and it ended up being a little water in the fuel. At full throttle...

Barry, we're still having issues with the oil temp getting hot. Ian was out yesterday and just under cruising load the oil got up to 240 fairly quickly. One of the two water pumps off the accessory drive is dedicated to the oil cooler and then dumps out the side of the boat. Is there a chance...

Thank you for your feedback Alan. As I mentioned in my original post I always look behind me regularly, especially before slowing down or turning even with a mirror. Just like when I'm in my car, I by no means focus on just the mirror alone so I do believe I'm "driving my boat the right way"...

Hey guys. We're finishing up the last couple details on the 26 Howard Cat my brother and I have been building and I was wondering if any of you guys run a rear view mirror? My wakeboard boat has a large parabolic mirror that I'm constantly checking while driving. I still give a look over the...

That was the first thing we checked since I've had issues with temp gauges as well and the block/heads felt to be about the same temp as the gauge was displaying. And like Barry mentioned, the water at the river is really cold right now, guessing we'll see something different when the temp is...

I have to admit, I've been a little intrigued about Skinwalker Ranch too but there's one glaring fact that makes it all hard to believe. If there really was something extraordinary going on out there, why would Bigelow ever sell it? Back in 2016 it was sold to Brandon Fugal and I would think...

This may sound crazy but have you checked your oil level since the service? Had a friend with a 496 that had similar issues 2yrs ago and after a lot of research and replacing parts he found out that the block was overfilled with oil. Turns out nobody drained the old oil before adding the new on...

I've been watching the progress on your channel, looks awesome! Keep the videos coming, excited to see something about the tuning process.

It only has an open 7.5 right now. If budget/time allows the plan is to get an explorer 8.8 from the junk yard and narrow it by shortening the long side (I've narrowed 3 of these rear ends already, it's pretty easy once you have the jig). We've lowered the truck, installed some KYB Gas-Adjusts...

Thanks for the suggestions, adding it all to the game plan! As for the oil supply, I just happen to have an Accusump that I was using to pre-oil one of my mod motors, will that suffice or am I better off modifying the oil pan to include some trap doors etc?
