1990 Ford Bronco 4x4 Fuel Injected 5.0 With Low Miles Removable Top! on 2040-cars
Sun Valley, California, United States
Selling my 1990 Ford BRONCO XLT with removable top. It has a fuel injected 5.0 engine from a 1992 Crown Victoria, that gets 16MPG on the freeway. The engine has just around 100K miles on it and the truck itself has 116.5K. The engine runs strong, smooth, and quiet...can't even hear it idle at a stoplight. Two different mechanics that worked on the truck commented about how impressed they were with this engine. It does leak a bit of oil but runs very strong. The transmission shifts just as it should. It is a 4WD but, the motor that engages the 4WD went out and needs replacement. The part is 80-100 dollars and the Bronco Forum says it's about a half-hour job. The interior is in fair shape...not great but, not bad. There are no cracks in the dashboard. There is a 1-year old AM/FM/CD player with USB input and 4 speakers. The rear seat is removable and in great shape. The body is pretty straight with a small ding near the spare tire and a dent/wrinkle thing near the passenger side door. A paint job would make this ole Bronc look great. I have to sell because I need a van and cannot afford to have both. I bought this Bronco with the idea to totally restore it. I have put 2,500 dollars into it over the last 6 months. I have receipts. Below is a list of those things replaced: HEATER CORE --- WATER PUMP --- FAN ---SPARK PLUGS --- POWER STEERING PUMP --- POWERSTEERING PRESSURE SWITCH --- FUEL PUMP --- SPARK PLUGS --- ACCEL IGNITION PARTS (Cap, Rotor, Wires, SuperCoil) --- WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR --- STARTER --- 4X4 SWITCH --- FIRESTONE DESTINATION A/T TIRES (4K miles; w/warranty). Within the last year these parts were also replaced: RADIATOR --- HOSES --- THERMOSTAT --- CATALYTIC CONVERTER --- BATTERY --- STEERING BOX (rebuilt). There are a few issues still to deal with but, nothing that would prevent you from using this as a daily driver, right now. It is currently my daily driver. I drive it on 120 mile round trips up the coast, all of the time. Truck purrs like a kitten! Here are known issues: Crack in windshield, 4WD motor, oil leak, Oil Pressure Gauge, Latch for Center Console, Driver Floor Mat, Wiper Knob, and occasional 'whine' from rear (bearing or something?) that's been that way since I got the truck and never been a problem, even on a 350 mile trip. That's about it. Please email any questions prior to purchase. I reserve the right to nullify auction results if ebay system is interrupted during final hour of bidding. I also reserve the right to end auction early if truck sells locally. Winning Bidder responsible for shipping/pickup. I will cooperate with shipping company as much as possible. I will pick you up at LAX or Burbank Airport, if you want to fly in and drive home. Full Payment due within 48 hours of close of auction. This Bronc will be a nice, dependable beast for many years to come. |

Ward's calls out Ford's EcoBoost engines for their crummy fuel economy
Thu, Jan 8 2015With a name like EcoBoost, one might expect Ford's line of turbocharged engines to be somewhat, um, economical. In other words, replacing displacement with a turbocharger is supposed to deliver better fuel economy. Based on the experience time and time again of multiple Autoblog editors, your author included, this is simply not the case. Now, Ward's is calling out the cruddy efficiency numbers of Ford's EcoBoost line of engines. The column dresses down not just the new 2.7-liter V6 of the 2015 F-150, but also the 2.3-liter of the Mustang, the 1.5-liter from the Fusion and the 3.2-liter PowerStroke diesel found in the Transit, while also explaining why just one Ford engine was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list. In its testing of all four engines, Ward's editors never came even remotely close to matching the 2.7's claimed 26 miles per gallon (for two-wheel-drive models), with the truck's computer indicating between 17.6 and 19 mpg over a 250-odd-mile run. Calculating the fuel economy manually revealed an even more depressing 15.6 miles per gallon. Criticisms with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder focused on its strange soundtrack, although it was business as usual with the 1.5-liter and 3.2 diesel, with Ward's criticizing the fuel economy of both engines. The 1.5, which Ward's claims is sold as a hybrid alternative, failed to get over 30 miles per gallon, while the five-cylinder turbodiesel's figures couldn't stand up against FCA's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The entire column really is worth a read, especially if you were disappointed in Ward's decision to only salute Ford's three-cylinder EcoBoost while shunning the rest of the company's new turbocharged mills.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
