1989 Ford Bronco II Reviews - Page 3 of 9

I have had the water pump replaced, it wasn't expensive, I have had the transmission flushed because of rough gear change, I had the gas tank replaced, because of leakage, and then the gas pump had to be replaced. I have had valve cover gasket seals put on and a transmission pan seal. The transmission mount and front motor mount was replace, as well as basic maintenence;breaks, oil change etc.

The truck has had problems, but she has done me well. The dash board gages on the right corner do not work, witch isn't good for the owner, I cannot tell how much gas is in the truck. The a/c system works very well and has been changed over, it was inexpensive. The body on this truck is very sturdy, I recently had an accident and she held up well, replacement parts were not very expensive, few came from the junk yard and are not hard to find. When driving on the highway this truck handles very well, she can get up on the road with the best of them and it's great for going out of town, just watch the gas.

The driveshaft broke about seven times from towing a heavy caravan.

The engine head cracked at only 55,000 miles. It has been repaired under warranty.

Lots of rust.

The clutch has seen better days.

It always leaked antifreeze fluid below -20 degrees Fahrenheit. (from new)

This truck has been used for towing a caravan most of its life. Then for a few years we used it as an off-road truck exclusively. Now I simply use it as a winter beater, the worse treatment you can ever give to a car here in Montreal, Canada. As it's a 4X4 and sits pretty high, it's very easy to drive during a snow storm. The body is rusted like crazy and water gets inside about everywhere. That said, I must say I'm totally amazed by this truck for the fact that it started right up for it's whole life even in polar temperatures. This truck has been used like a truck should be and I guess that's why it's not impressed by any mistreatment!

Fuel pump & tank.

Complete rear brake job, including rebuilding of wheel cylinders.

Rear shock absorbers.

Passenger side engine freeze plug.

Engine started to have valve train rattle at 161,000 miles, also had engine knock at same time. Engine replace with a used 2.9 engine.

The Bronco II sat for almost 2 years in a guys driveway at the time of purchase..

At the time of purchase we charged the battery, inflated the flat tires and drove her home..

The engine died, due to lack of maintenance by the previous owner.
