1. Change all fluids/belts (...given...)
2. Go right to the valve cover gaskets and change them (they will be leaking
)
3. Check thermostat, sending unit and radiator hoses. (so you arent left on side of road folding back seats down and having an unexpected bronco 2 picnic. trust me most of us have had one of those
)
4. Clean the intake for crying out loud.
5. Put a new folgers coffee can under the hood to replace that rusted ass " vacuum canister" that ford put under there.
6. Oh yeah your wheel cylinders WILL be leaking too. they are only 12 bucks + the cost of new brake fluid.
7. The little plastic rings around the pins that the back hatch latches to will probably be broke off and make closing the hatch a pain in the rear.
8. If previous owner towed a boat with it, you may want to really consider replacing the cv drive shaft in it cause it will most likely give out due to corrosion and what not : / oh and re lube the rear with marine lube if your going to tow a boat as well.
9. Anti-foulers dont fit past the exhaust manifolds for those of you who need valve guides, or are leaking oil
10. Buy another Bronco 2 for parts haha you'll need that too.
~ Any revisions would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully mildly comical. Cheers.
