All:

I have an 86 bronco ii with a leaking roof. No visible rust spots or holes on the roof, but when it rains, the headliner sags and water drips down to the windshield. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I found it. You were right, it was a bad switch. 10 minutes and $14 later I had a/c.

Thanks!

What does the switch look like?

I cannot find a location for it in Haynes. The only electrical connection I see is wrapped in rubber and is labeled diode. It doesn't look like you can easily disconnect it.

Is there a way to test the compressor on an 86 2.9L before I just assume it's shot? I put a guage(walmart brandthat comes with freon) on the low side and it reads in the blue/filled section. Blowing hot air wide open. The compressor seems to cycle on and off at noisy 30 second or so intervals. Is ...

What's the difference between 134 and 134a? Are they the same thing?

I took the panel off this morning. It appears as though the white plastic chanel the wheels run in is broken in at least one, but maybe two places. The motor runs in both the up and down positions, but it's weak in spots. I had to help it along when it stalled. I don't yet understand whether the ...

The driver side window in my 86 2.9 has gone into the door and I cannot get it to close. The motor works enough on the upstroke to move the window just to the surface of the door, but not enough to where I can grab it. Any suggestions on how to get it closed, or any thoughts on why it stuck in the ...

The leak in my power steering appears to be coming from where the resevoir meets the pump. Is there a gasket there?

How difficult is it to replace the resevoir on an automatic 86 2.9?
Any tips or tricks?

Thanks,

Looks like mine is leaking on the backside of the resevoir. Was tricky to find though. The fluid looked like it was leaking out of the bottom.

Mine's an automatic/4WD. Is yours?

My '86 2.9 BII has an impressive power steering fluid leak. I've replaced the hose, but that has not solved the problem. Everything under the resevoir looks good. The fluid is pouring out as soon as I add it in, but I cannot figure out where it's coming from. Any suggestions of where leaks might be ...

What is involved in replacing the valve cover gasket on a 2.9?

The front end isn't lining up on the 86 Bronco II. The service station said I needed a new pitman arm and a new drag link. Is this something I can tackle, or is it best left to the pros? If it is something I can handle in a backyard set-up, how difficult is it? And how long should it take? Thanks!

How do you test the compressor to see if it's functioning correctly?

My power steering return hose is leaking. It looks like it's just a hose with clamps on either end. Is that what it's supposed to look like, or have I been ambushed by a practical previous owner?

Anything I should be aware of while changing it?
