Just purchased($500) a 95 XLT Bronco, 351W , E4OD, 235k miles,
engine and trans are sound no leaks, no smoking,
this was a farm truck, sat for 3 years
body has some dings and rust
Rear window was stuck about 3 inches from being closed,
spent a few hours and managed ot get the window down and tailgate off
regulator tracks were badly rusted local salvage yard located those parts
regulator rollers are on order from the local Ford dealer
window motor is working still is a problem somewhere in
the wiring from the front switch to the back
bottom of the tailgate is rusted out in the middle
inner regultor support brackets of course rusted away at the bottom
I got creative with 1x1 angle , 12ga sheet metal and a MIG
should hold for awhile until I can afford a new tailgate
Has the push buton 4x4 and low range neither are working other than it turns the light on the dash on.
Front springs are severely compressed.
(had a snow plow on the front no plow but wiring and mount are still there)
Air bag and check engine lights have a mind of their own blink stay on or off at whim.
possible knock sensor and 3 year old gas for the check engine light
and have a 91 P72 Crown Vic with the same problem concerning the airbag light.
Gas tank leak no big deal there have repaired several 250's and 150's with that problem.
driver side seat currently has a box behind it to stay upright
figure disasemble the seat and repair and reinforce the seat frame, done this on a few seats now seems to be a common problem.
drive shaft U-joints heard a clunk after initial start up when put in gear
