Miles & Problems

Being new to the board, and to the Bronco. Was wondering if you guys could answer the following questions.

1. Year of Bronco
2. Miles on your Bronco
3. Motor
3. What repairs you've had to do?


Mine:

1. 1985
2. 136K
3. Pinion seal, starter, flywheel, carburator, hubs, shifter cable, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets, and now a blown 351.

4. Engine needs to be replaced. 4-5psi oil pressure at idle. It wasn't fords fault, it was the people that owned it before me and never changed the oil.

1. 1989
2. 108K
3. 300 I-6
4. Mostly minor stuff, new fuel pumps both in tank and on rail, new TFI module, new MAP/BAP sensor, replaced tailgate drive pinion.
Currently have tailgate cancer, and leaks in transmission and transfer case, need to recharge A/C, slight rust on rear quarter by wheel wells, typical Bronco stuff!

4. Front passenger side ball joints, front end bushings, and fuel tank fill tube, and the auto hubs. Other than that, it has been very good to me.
