1989 Ford Bronco II XLT 2.9
Summary:
This truck is not expensive to keep, but it must be taken care of
Faults:
I have had the water pump replaced, it wasn't expensive, I have had the transmission flushed because of rough gear change, I had the gas tank replaced, because of leakage, and then the gas pump had to be replaced. I have had valve cover gasket seals put on and a transmission pan seal. The transmission mount and front motor mount was replace, as well as basic maintenence;breaks, oil change etc.
General Comments:
The truck has had problems, but she has done me well. The dash board gages on the right corner do not work, witch isn't good for the owner, I cannot tell how much gas is in the truck. The a/c system works very well and has been changed over, it was inexpensive. The body on this truck is very sturdy, I recently had an accident and she held up well, replacement parts were not very expensive, few came from the junk yard and are not hard to find. When driving on the highway this truck handles very well, she can get up on the road with the best of them and it's great for going out of town, just watch the gas.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I must say that comment was generally the way my 1989 Bronco II 4x4 performs in the winter. Granted, like yours, it has a lot of rust, but overall it's a beast. I paid only $400 (it was $1,400, but my mother had paid $1,000 of it, so I literally only had to pay the difference out of pocket), but it's an amazing truck. It has certainly changed my thinking about Ford products, or at least their trucks anyway. As for their sports cars, that's another story.
