1984 Ford Bronco II XLT from North America - Comments

Replaced Carb.

Replaced Power Steering Pump.

Replaced Headliner.

I purchased My Bronco II for $400.00 dollars because the carb was bad and the local mechanic told the lady, "all that black smoke means the engine is about to blow". I swear I told her he was mistaken. She did not believe me and I bought it.

At 123,000 miles I replaced the tires with larger 235/75R15 tires. I was very happy with the performance of this truck until then. While I am not dissatisfied with the performance now the change in size made a huge difference in acceleration. It does get better fuel mileage and I will not be re-gearing it.

The fact that it has solid lifters is a pain, but not too difficult to live with as Valve Adjustment is not that hard. I thought that was a thing of the past.

My Bronco II has never made me walk and is terrific in the snow and mud. I love this thing.

I spend allot of time on the road driving between International Falls, MN (where I live) and St. Paul, MN, and have had no major problems on the road. Only problems on the road has been a radiator cap that failed and allowed the coolant recovery tank overflow.

There is no rust on this truck except for a few paint-chips up front that have a little rust in them and the front bumper.

I replaced the headliner with a flamed one that I did myself. It really looks good and gets allot of comments.

You seem to know what your doing and I have just got one of my own and need some helpful tips on the transmission. If you are willing to help contact me at this address

I just recently purchased a 1984 ford bronco xlt from one of my buddies.. the truck rocks and both my wife and I love it, it has raised up suspension and bigger tires, my buddy took off the back shell and also took out the rear window, but now I can't seem to get the gears that raise and lower the window to move at all, so I'm now driving around with out a rear window, the only thing that sucks about the truck is all the electrical issues (ie: power windows dash lights cigerette lighter and some other small things) any advice on where to take it to get these things fixed?? I live in tacoma washington...
