Hello everyone,
I just bought an 89 Bronco II Eddie Baure edition 2.9l with 5 spd manual trans and 4 wheel drive with 200k on it for 500 bucks. Guy drove it to work often and looks to be in pretty ok shape. Maybe a few oil leaks, but for 200k not bad. Motor runs like a champ no hesitation or misfire, I was impressed with this vehicle when i looked at it. Ok now to the point im completely new to Bronco II's first time ever even gettin in one, so what are some issues i should watch out for. Ive noticed some pidly stuff but am slowly getting into it. Also as soon i left work with title in hand on drive home, clutch not holding in 4th or 5th gear-since then ive got only 1st but i am putting a clutch in with a friend soon, any advice with that job would be great! I work on cars for for a living (mostly GM-in a dealership) im 23 with a wife and 7month old son, only one working so all repairs have to be kept kinda cheap, i was lucky she let me buy the truck now i just gotta get it on the road
