I had no true problems with my Bronco. I used and abused the in-line 6 that originally came in it. I replaced it however; I put a 351m in it from my '79 when I totaled it. It has to be the runninest vehicle I have ever owned. The other day, I raced one of my friends in his Grand-Am and we were neck and neck until I hit 3rd. I ran in second until I hit 80mph. It also handles better and turns sharper than any full-sized truck or SUV I have ever ridden in - that is, for its year.

With the exception of the oil leaks, lack of A/C, and the really bad gas mileage, it has to be the best vehicle I have owned... it and the '79 Bronco are killer off-road vehicles.

Where should I start! Everything on this Bronco has been replaced or upgraded by me. Engine spun a bearing at 176000, seats were shredded, leaked oil from almost every gasket on the engine, springs and shocks were worn, hubs were shot, every brake component was replaced by me.

If you want a good mud truck or tow rig then get a Bronco. Otherwise they are pretty much worthless. Mine gets piss poor mileage for a 6 cylinder and drives like a dump truck. Engine noise is almost unbearable because of the lack of Overdrive. Driving on the freeway is taking your life into your own hands.
