Lol, the day a Bronco does 75 mpg (instead of the 75 MPH you probably meant) Hell will be long frozen...

Do the ATF drain, you won't have any issues, that tranny shouldn't have much wear for you to have any troubles, and it will help prolong the life of the trans. I'm positive you won't have any problems with that transmision.

Yeah I did mean MPH haha. 75 MPG would be a gift. I'm probably just gonna bring this thing to ford if I do buy it and just have them change the fluid and some other minor things. I like having someone to blame if **** goes wrong.

!!!!Take it to Ford? They will probably make you sign a waiver or something. They try to weasel out of brand new warranty work. You should do it yourself. You'll be better off knowing how to do it yourself anyway. Plus you'll save money. None of it is very hard.

Mine was at the dealer once...never again.
1. Read the first thread from Greystreak92
2. Look high on this page for "Forums" then "Search"
3. The Ford Fuel injection site
4. The Haynes manual

The dealers have not seen a Bronco in years and many of the technicians who worked on them have retired or changed jobs.
