What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only problem I had with my bravada was the altenator went at like 54k miles. I had to buy all new window motors for all 4 windows. My diplay for my dash went out I had to get that fixed other than those problems this car is awesome.

General comments?

I am 20 years old and you know how young drivers are. I totally abused this car burnouts, drifting, neutral drops, street racing, you name it I did it with this car. After all that this car is still running strong on mechnical problems at all very turstworthy car. I would def. recoment to anybody I now sold it and I purchased a 2001 ford focus zx3 a little more my type of a car if you know what I mean. If you are looking ot buy a 94 bravada do it you won't be sorry.

You're an idiot if you think you can street race in a bravada, and even bigger of an idiot for abusing a car like that. this review is worthless and a waste of time.

If you were able to do burnouts, you must have completely toasted the all wheel drive viscous clutch transfer case. The amount of stress you put on a vehicle doing neutral drop-ins, is multiplied dramatically by virtue of it being all wheel drive, because the tires cannot break loose. In physics, impulse on a mechanical system is equal to force, divided by the differential time the force is applied. For a neutral drop-in, as you can see, the mechanical impulse is phenomnal. That is how mechanical components fail catastrophically. I never drove like that when I was 20 years old (I'm 27 now). But, your review is none-the-less telling about the Bravada, albeit you sacrificed a perfectly good vehicle (yours) to bring it to us. It is obviously a solid vehicle. Just please junk yours when you are done with it, and do not sell it to anybody. Or, you might consider rebuilding it, and treating it right. Please remember too, that a car is a deadly weapon, with which you can kill somebody in a split second. Be careful.

I don't know how you did a burn out in a 1994 bravada because, even with it's 165 horses the all wheel drive and Smart track should stop the wheels from spinning. I pretty sure even though I have a 1991 bravada.

I own a 94 Bravada and at 180,00 miles it is still a good car

I had the dash issue (lights out) found one on ebay for $50.00 rebuilt,

My CMFI injector set needs to be replaced due to a cloged poppit valve

I have recently acquired a popping noise coming from the

front end when I turn or going striaght it is either the cv-joint in the front drive line or the viscous clutch in the transfer case

I haven't figured out which one yet both can be fixed

As for doing neutral drops in a Bravada NO WAY the transmission will not take it, you will strip the splines

out of the sun reaction gear shell, I did it under hard

acceleration. the 4L60E is a good trans. but it ain't no

power glide (2 speed a/t GM)
