Bronco II, bringing it back to life.

Problems with a B2, tell me it isn't so!

According to a Ford engineer I know, he said to drain out a little oil, about a quart, or just add a quart of trans fluid if it leaks, and run for a few days, basically just around the block or idle. He said to use Mercon V, that would be the best. Drain out the oil, and replace oil and filter. He said if it has high miles use 30w or 40w. I prefer Rotella T as it has zinc in it, it protects the bearings. As for the oil light flickering, it sounds like the low oil sensor is fouled. You can find it on the left side of the oil pan. As for ABS light, most of the B2's had problems with the ABS computer, it is in the left side panel right behind the drivers door. Most just unplug it, and it doesn't mess with the braking.

About 7 to 8 bucks for the bottle. It has two parts, one is the dye, the other the leak seal. I only used the dye portion.

Pic is pretty small, any bigger pic of it?

If your looking at an engine swap,you'll want to look at finding a wrecked explorer and put the 4.0 in.You'll have top swap engine, dash and wiring.Its not as hard as it sounds.Go checkout the tech library.There is a lot of info on the swaps and 2.9's in general

im not a fan of the 4.0 im thinking of goin with another 2.9 but goin with .30 over pistons. the 2.9s a torqee little motor. not to get too far off subject, but has anyone heard of a 2.9 with turbo? guy i work with swears he can mount an old toyota turbo to it. im willing to let him try when the time comes, itd be interesting
