I'm sure it was nice! I still like the looks of mine better than the new ones. I think I'll keep mine

Wow. I hate doing brake jobs on 14 year old 4x4 trucks. Whew that sucked.
Everything was just worn out. The grease and mud had packed onto the hub pieces kind of like a black tartar. I had to clean the crap out of everything. Plus the automatic lugs are shot anyway. Even the bearings and races were worn. I cleaned it and packed it all back in, but I'm gonna have to get new bearings for the fronts and I'm gonna order some Warn manual lockers. It seems the Bronco forums suggest chunking the auto lockers the first change you get.
I learned alot about brakes on the Bronco though. I also learned about the abs tone ring and the sensor. I cleaned both as best as I could. Now I need to do the back ones and the VSS too. I've got the **** ABS light showing and its done that since I got it. I either try to fix it, or pull the bulb out of the dash and just let it be old school brakes.

I am assuming you are showing the gauge after the engine is hot? If so, your thermo looks to be too cool. If its too cool, your engine will respond by richening the mixture (thinking it isn't up to temp yet). Happened to me...
Also, looking at your fuel gauge, I'm hopin' you took the pic while at the gas station!

Don't know if you guys saw my posts on the 'Pauses' thread:
The problem has to be this site - not Hughes SatNet... check it out - I've just been surfing the threads for the past 20 mins WITHOUT logging on, and the pages load fine just like my other several sites are this morning.
Then I saw a post I wanted to reply to, so I LOGGED ON. And here come the hanging pages again. Had to open a second TMS tab so one could load while I was posting on another.
I noticed this yesterday but was in a hurry so I tested it today. Also, the flash ad banner at the top does NOT display until I LOG ON.
*****
Today:
This issue is confirmed. Been surfing the last few days now mostly not logged on and the page loads great.
As soon as I LOG ON, the page either hangs and takes forever to load, or will not load at all unless I open a 2nd TMS tab, or hit refresh several times.
The problem has to do with whatever crap is going on behind the scenes when I LOG ON - whether it is ad banner/flash related, or gathering info/tracking me.
