Hey Everybody,
I just purchased a pretty darn clean/straight 1995 Ford Bronco XLT Sport with the 351 and E4OD and 152k miles(engine supposedly reaplaced at 110k).
Very stock just some dry rotting 33" tires. I bought it pretty cheap because the transmission is not downshifting when prompted sometimes and shuddering in OD when cold. A local trans shop said it needed rebuilt. I think I'll try and flush it first but probably wasting money. Luckily I'm a svc advisor at a GMC dealer and I think I've sweet talked my trans guy into cracking it open and taking a look(you'd be amazed at how dealership techs are nervous about working on other makes).
Other than that the rear window binds when going down and only goes about 3/4 of the way down so I need to research that. It also kind of has a slow spin slow start like the battery is weak but the battery is brand new. The solenoid on the pass side firewall looks really new so I'm thinking someone tried that first, hopefully just a bad starter.
Has zero rust on body, just some surface rust on the frame but nothing bad at all. The driver side leather seat cover is torn(looking at new covers on Ebay) but otherwise the interior is immaculate.
I've been a Toyota Landcruiser/4runner/Pickup guy all my life but have always wanted a K5 or a FSB. I'm super excited about it but what should I be on the lookout for? Any suggestions on what the starter issue/back window might be? I'm a admitted bad searcher, basically just lazy!
Thanks,
Tommy
