1988 Ford Bronco II XL 2.9
Summary:
A very tough little rig that has always been there for me
Faults:
Drive shaft had to be re-built.
Valve covers leak.
Transmission makes noise in most gears, especially overdrive (5th gear).
General Comments:
I rolled this truck 7 years ago and it just got back on its wheels, and it hasn't stopped running since (except when it needed a clutch).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

One piece rear main seals are easier to fix than two pice seals. Just drop the transmission and lightly tap the new seal in with a hammer. A two piece will require you to lift the motor up and drop the oil pan, then you have to mess with the oil pan seals.
