1990 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer
This is my first (and current) car, known as MurPhy’z Law (spelled wrong on purpose.) Owned since early November, 2014. I daily this truck. She’s no trailer queen.
Has:
-5.8L 351 Windsor small block V8 producing a whopping 210(ish)hp and 325lbft of torque and EFI
-A (slush-box) E4OD 4 speed Automatic Transmission with factory skid plate and overdrive cancel-out button (disables overdrive for towing)
-Borg Warner 1356 Transfer case (Lever operated)
2wd, 4x4 Hi (1.00 : 1), neautral, 4x4 Lo (2.69 : 1)
-Dana 44 TTB (Twin Traction Beam) front suspension, quad shocks, open diff and manual lockout Hubs
-8.8 inch Ford rear axle w/ factory Trac-Lok limited slip
-Both front and rear diffs have a 3.55:1 gear ratio
-32 Gallon gas tank with factory skid plate
-Eddie Bauer Trim package, which includes power windows, locks and cruise control and unique two-tone paint scheme and interior design
-Factory towing package
-Factory spare tire carrier
-Has 31x10.5 R15 Tires Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs with beauty rings installed
-Factory power tailgate window (standard on all post ‘78 broncos)
-The tan hardtop comes off in the summer
-A “new” fully functional speedometer
-Luverne Truck Equipment Inc. Brush guard
-New headlight assemblys.
-Complete tune up
Total lemon, but I love it.
Funny story:
After a month or so of owning the truck, I came out of a doctors appointment to find someone had stolen the grille of the truck. It didn’t sadden me, as it was junk and in the way (aftermarket billit grille). That’s when it clicked, and I had found the name for the truck. I still haven’t replaced the grille despite that. Although now the brush guard takes care of that.
Comments
Coincidentally my boat also has a 351 Windsor!
Nice. I honestly don’t know what my dad’s boat has.
Nice truck I got a 1989 f250 4x4 with a 5speed
And 351
Nice. I almost bought a 5 speed bronco but this one was in way better shape, especially for NY’s infamous rust.
I no what u mean I live in Michigan
Ya I live in Michigan I no what u mean what u doin to it
I plan on repairing it but also slightly modifying it. I blew the timing chain and intake manifold the other day. So I’m gonna replace the engine. Too much to repair, plus it burns about 2qts of oil a week. The engine I’m looking at is warrantied for 5yrs for $800. Eventually I plan on putting some Detroit TrueTrac LSDs in it.
Hell Ya iam goin to diesel swap mine
I thought about doing a diesel swap on my bronco, but it would require a little more work that I can do right now. Plus I’m torn between the 7.3 and 6.0 powerstokes. What are you putting in? You keeping the ttb or do you have a solid axle?
I might go with a 4bt Cummins or the six maybe a 7.3 if I can find one I need to get a solid axel
Yeah. Ford makes baby powerstrokes too. 4.5l v6 and the new 3.2l i5. Theyre pretty good looking ones too.
Ya I thought to buy one but I don’t no yet I getting another truck this weekend it’s a 1995 ext cab auto with 4x4 for 500 bucks
I’m looking at another vehicle myself. Need something better on fuel and better for school parking.
Ya my girl friend is getting a 1999 jeep Cherokee
Nice. This exploder is an awd with the 5.0 V8.
I got a 302 it’s not too bad I had it in my first
