Ford Bronco II - Will It Run

Kevin over at Junkyard Digs sent me a text saying he had a few cars that he needs to get rid of because he is out of room so I ended up with this non-running Ford Bronco II fresh from his parents yard where it has been stored for years. After a new battery and testing the fuel pump can I get it to have it's first start in many years.

I’m just glad I have a 84’ Bronco II…
Mechanical fuel pump with 2.8 V6…

There must be thousands of neglected projects like this around the country, some of them are lucky enough to fall into the hands of someone who knows what he's doing! Nice work, Steve!

Miss my 90' B2. Had a D35, a lift, chop top, headers, and a manual swap after the A4LD commited suicide. Somehow it made it to 250k miles until I wheeled it on just 2 quarts of oil lol. What a great truck.

What a nice project, helps people understand the importance of doing things the right way the first time, thanks

[edwardmulder]

Always nice to be able to find and rectify a simple problem to get a vehicle running again

[MarcosReyes]

Hey steve, thats an 88', love the content bud

[stevefamfive]

Your video production remains at a high level and provides clear views of everything you talk about. We really appreciate the time you take in setting up your shots.

[daveshongkongchinachannel]

As with all your cars, always keen to see more videos on each of them as you make progress with them.

84 Bronco II was my first car. Mine was carbureted. I love this vehicle!!! I hope you get it running smoothly. 👍👍👍

[micheltebraake]

You clearly explain how to diagnose a part that is not working, thank you for this.

[alanmaxwell]

Looks like an 86-88. 89 was the first year of the facelift

[toprunner]

Would love to see more! I have a 93 Explorer, underneath both are rangers

[zetamale]

Those 2.9L engines have no guts whatsoever but also they won't stop running. My 89 sat for 3 years, stabil in the gas and started right up. Drove it on the car hauler to where it is now at my new place. I swapped out the running gear with a 94 Expolder. 3.73 gearing & still a dog except when in four low has plenty of power.

[WillemHuber]

I love the sawblade wheels. Definitely keep em!

[turkey]

Knowledge and experience is a wonderful thing to have! You have a diamond in the rough, and thank you for a wonderful video! I look forward for your next video like Bronco 2 roof leaks!

[TheFurriestOne]

A little work and it lives! A good base to build from.

[Guns]

Bought one for $500 (no rust in Texas) been messing with the wiring for over a week and finally got it running.

Had a 89 Ranger 2.9 4x4. Engine out twice: at 102k, due partly drilled oil hole needed rod bearings. Ford dealer supplied crank had oversized counterweights which scraped piston skirts when warm. Developed same lifter tick at 120k. Fix Or Repair Daily!

Nice work. Love it when some rescues bronco 2's. I've had 3 now, just love them. 2 were stock and last one is my overlander. Good job troubleshooting.
