Nice truck! I hope this one is that clean, looks good in pictures and the price is good so I can do some work on it if I need to. Trying to keep some miles of the newer stuff.

I picked up the truck and everything works from the AC to speed control. Working on hard shifting but I'm very happy this seller was not able to keep the truck, military about to ship so a great price, The mark on the tailgate was a sticker that's gone now.

Good luck getting it today
I'd swap out those auto hubs with a set of manual hubs when you can afford it
Find a spare processor straight away
Have fun with it

she's in the shop,185,000 two owner with service records. I changed oil did brakes front and rear with new shoes and springs. One fuel gauge is not registering and the turns signals do not self cancel on right turns, she's got a dent on the passenger side behind the door hoods got the typical SW sun damage . Been a bit busy with this and the Bronco I'm refurbishing.

That could be the MLPS causing the hard shifting problem. Use the search on here to find the test procedure. Depending on where he was going the military would have shipped it for him. Probably got frustrated with the hard shifting and didn’t want to be bothered with it.

I know I’m in the minority but I liked the auto hubs on the ‘94 Bronco. They worked every time I needed them to.

Another waste of money.

Well, I like auto hubs too, for the convenience, they work fine when new.
I agree with the waste of money and would leave them until they fail
I have just seen too many fail, when up skiing or somewhere you actually need 4x4
I just hate getting stuck
The other reason back in the day was the price, new auto hubs were 398 a set and the manuals were 100
Walked 20 miles with a shotgun goose hunting back in the day when my dad's doctor friend had a blazer with the same auto hubs that broke

I was saying that buying a several hundred dollar PCM/ ECM to have it sitting on the shelf is a waste of money.I’d cross that bridge if it ever need one.

I had chains on the Bronco and broke the auto hubs shock loading them. I know replacing them with manual hubs was several hundred dollars cheaper but it was mainly her truck so on went another set of auto hubs.

Well, in a few more years you may not be able to get a new / reman processor at all, or a good board (and it might cost a thousand)
I agree on the need for auto hubs for some people
