My new to me 1:1 bronco

[shodog]

I have been experiencing a string of bad luck with my vehicles. My BMW lost a piece of plastic on one of the Cam chain guides and it's an expensive fix. On my '85 F150 the fuels pumps won't power up. Had a mechanic spend all day Saturday on the truck chasing down electrical gremlins to no avail. So yesterday I downed a bottle of extra strength Fukitol and bought this sweet 1995 Eddie Bauer edition Bronco



I'm real happy with my buy. It's a truck I always wanted and this one is in very nice condition. It will serve well to pull my motorcycle trailer and get me back and forth to work until I figure out what to do with the BMW

Love your truck. It looks real clean. Those Broncos are tough. I suggest you try some light off-roading if you have the opportunity. I had an 1988 Bronco. One of my favorites.

Got to like the rear window.

Sorry, just remembering the scene in Uncle Buck with the greaseball at the bowling alley.

You need to follow up with a bottle of Damital.

Seriously, that's a nice rig, i have been looking at them for quite a while - the market seems pretty depressed and it seems like you can get a nice one for not too much outlay.

What model of BMW do you have? You could check on a few of the forums like bimmerfest or bimmerforums to see if anyone has done a diy project on that issue. Be prepared to wade through a lot of poo though. Those forums are overbalanced with a preponderance of subjects like, "How do you like my new bumper?" or "What rims should I buy?"

I'm on those forums and you're right it's a bunch of BMW fanboys with little mechanical knowledge and the knowledgeable oldtimers rarely post as thier burned out answering the same set of questions

My bmw is a '99 540i with the 4.4 L v8. The part I need is only about $129 but it takes $3K in labor to install it. Plus my motor has 233K miles so it's not worth spending that type of dough on it. I'm going to be on the lookout for a low mileage long block.

Good plan. They're great cars but can be a real PITA to work on.
