Looks like he got those matts from Ford That reminds me, I need to order new mats for my Durango. Ugh.

Welcome!!

I too have my factory radio from my 89 Sharp looking Bronco!

How much you looking for the motor? I am about to slap a new one in my 89 (334k miles on it now) and getting it fully restored. But if I can skip the $4k for a new crate motor from ford for a decent direct swap I may go that route.

Welcome!

Yeah.. the damage it took to get 5 years worth of rust in CO happened in 6 months here in TX. Thanks to humid weather. And I guess parking at the end of a parking lot next to sprinkler system. Didn't plan that one out well haha I think if I had drove it daily it wouldn't have rusted off. Cause...

Good catch. Ooops!

You sure? I mean..it has sat basically under a sprinkler for a year without being started.... Before I moved, I had no rust issues on my wheel wells (the common) and 16 months later, I have a good size hole from the metal/paint that fell out due to rust. Thanks to that dang sprinkler..not so...

All my vehicles idle high at first then simmer down. But I'm going to assume this is after the truck is warmed up too?? my 5.0 Bronco always starts out around 1,600rpm then slowly bumps down (about 2 minutes) to roughly 800rpm. In gear its around 600.

THa looks like a great time! I miss living in CO. The mountains are just a hop skippity jump from Erie (I think I lived down the street from you. I remember seeing a black bronco). I'm not sure where you were at tho.. I'm guessing north eastern of the rockies but I dunno. Looks beautiful...

That's a very nice bronco. While I would never drive that I would turn my head and watch it roll down the street! I think if you put more "modern" OEM like wheels on it, it would really set it off. Regardless it's awesome looking! What kind of MPG you get?

Another option is an externally mounted unit (glove box, under seat, ect) Find one with bluetooth controls or you could get any unit you like that has an adaptor for "steering wheel" controls. Then the key would be finding either buttons from a wrecked vehicle with steering wheel controls (my...

What year bronco? I'm assuming 92-96 as you said chipped.. I don't know much about those performance chips so don't mind my question (I seriously have no idea). Well that's pretty dang good. I got a tad over 22mpg in my 01 Durango SLT+ with the 4.7 but I thank the TCM swap with an 03 jeep to...

I don't see how you can get 22mpg.. But you said a fresh 5.0 so I'm guessing new? I'm about to get a new 5.0 from Ford so I'll be super excited if I can get that kind of MPG with a new motor backed by an AOD

Best way to clean is engine spray cleaner. Then rinse with the "shower" on a garden hose. But it sounds like you may have water in a sensor.. the sensors aren't nearly sealed as well compared to new vehicles these days. And when you have water between two wires with voltage..what happens? My...

Those are a damn good tire. Well, at least new on pavement. I just ordered some in a 34x12.5x20 and at $190 a piece they are hard to beat. Just hope they break the "Good for one Year"...

I got flow master 40 series on my Bronco 5.0 and I LOVE the sound. So much I want to get it on my new truck..but they don't always sound the same on different vehicles. I love the deep purr that's not loud but loud enough to be heard when you're fairly close. And at WOT it's not screaming loud...

Smaller tires helps too if gearing is right. But if you put the same size tire on as your truck was factory equipped with, you'll probably won't gain much as they tend to already calculate that kind of stuff so their reporting MPG look better. Easier to push than slapping 35's an saying 13 hwy...

Good thing I came back.. I had the same exact issue. 89 full size with EFI. Come to find out, it was the ECT sensor (Engine Coolant Temp). I had a day like that in CO. So hot out, I ran the A/C. Was at a stop light, and when I hit the gas, it bogged and bucked like none other. Pulled off onto...

That's what I did in gear hunting mode. But comming through WY a few years ago, I was doing 75mph and didn't seem to have any issues.. Then again at night it was only 10-20 degrees out. Good to know though thanks! Just wish I had the power of the 5.8. My 5.0 is a wet dog now (327,8XX) and is...
