Hello all, nice site you've got here!
My name is Drew, and I recently picked up my first Bronco, and I absolutely love it!
I'm a regular on a few mustang boards, and am mainly a stang freak, but I thought I'd check your place out and get some info on what I've got just for future reference.
Here's what I picked up:
96 Eddie Bauer, maroon (whats the name of this color?) with tan two tone and tan top. 351 and I'm guessing E40D? Were there optional tranny's in this year? I know its not an AOD-E because it is HUGE.
The previous owner installed airlift airbags in the rear, which is very nice when towing my stang to the track.
Are there any problem areas to look at or keep in mind on this year or engine? I've heard something about the rear window motor going out? Is this a typical problem?
Also, I've noticed the tailgate is somewhat hard to release and the handle is a bit bent out. Is there an easy fix on this?
Whats the main bottleneck in performance in this engine? I know theres got to be a ton left in it. I'm assuming mainly the heads???
Will newer (97+) F150/Expedition wheels fit on it? I'd like to have a newer style wheel on it, and can pick up some 17" expedition wheels fairly cheap.
I've also noticed when I drive in a hard rain for a little while, the carpet will get pretty damp. Mainly around the rear cargo area, but also some on the passenger side front floorboard. Is this a weatherstrip issue or an undercarriage one?
I think thats about it for now, sorry for writing a novel. Just thought I'd try to kill a few birds with one stone
again, great site you've got here!
