1986 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer review from North America
"The Bronco II is reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased my Bronco II it needed an new water pump as well as a battery. I drove it around for approx. 2 months when the engine blew. Here is a list of the following work that I have done to it...
Bored out to.035
Installed larger pistons and rings
Installed competition head and cam
New rings and bearings
New high volume oil pump.
New radiator
New ignition coil
Replaced fuel sending unit
New map sensor
New throttle position sensor
New idle air control valve
Drained transmission and installed new filter
New blower motor
New shocks
New tires
New tires.
General comments?
So after all of the work that I have done to my little bronco, its basically a new truck. It runs great and now has plenty of power. The small wheel base gets me in and out of tight areas as to where the larger trucks can't go. It doesn't have the best fuel economy
