Hello everyone, new member just picked up a 95 Bronco 5.8l, AT, possibly Eddie Bauer. I looked up the vin number and it says it's an EB and the trim and seats all say it too. I'll try to post pics here soon. The last pic is of an oil leak I would like to get addressed first and then will be the slow turning over of the motor (it does start eventually). And lastly is the wandering steering. After that the fun stuff begins. Look forward to many years of fun.

 

Looks like the rear main seal leaking, but could be oil pan gasket. Both are pretty common repair items, if it's not a huge leak you could probably let it slide and just watch the oil level.

 

Yes it's definitely leaking and will be the first thing fixed. Hopefully it's something easy I can do in my garage

 

The transmission needs to come out for access, you may be able to rent a transmission jack from a parts store.

Book time is probably around 7 hours. If you had a shop do it, I'd budget $700-$1000 depending on their hourly rate.

 

For that price..i would do it myself. Watch videos. Save money. Easy job.

Get a good torque wrench as well.

 

Read several write ups and watched a few videos on this and it doesn't look hard just time consuming. I would also need to look up all the torque specs for everything.

Might just put this on hold and work on the starting issue. Well see as soon as funds start rolling in again.
