Great truck in some respects   Just bought my Bronco about a week ago. I have an 86 with the 5.0, 4 speed overdrive package. I like the truck overall, but the tranny stinks. When it hits 3rd and 4th, it seems to be geared to low. then I have to get on it to reach cruising speed. The ride is good for a rig of it's size. The fact I picked it up with a new rear-end, new fuel pump, 25,000 on motor and new tires ($1,100) I can't complain. Required tune up,oil change and new alternator.

Not bad First 4 wheel drive.  Got it for a good price

NOT BAD I don't like Fords, but this one I bought for $400 and have put in about another $600 for parts, parts vehicle, trailer rental, gas, etc and it runs pretty good. I have not rebuilt anything at this point. I am not fully impressed due to the 2700 rpm @ 55 mph with a 3 speed auto but I am now looking for a FMX or AOD tranny to give me that overdrive and better fuel economy. Will state more later afterwards.
