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.

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.

Yes more Bronco 2

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

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 2 года назад

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

@coreyrowe2052 2 года назад

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

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

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

@zetamale7952 Год назад

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.

@micheltebraake7915 2 года назад

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

@MarcosReyes53 2 года назад

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

@Ntmoffi Год назад

Yeah I was gonna say. No way it's an 89'.

@davidnelson6893 2 года назад

Ok that looks cool

@bill90405 2 года назад

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!

Beautiful Project ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@edjacobs8876 2 года назад

I believe there's two fuel pumps. One on rail, one in tank. I had an 86 2.9 ranger. Same tick. Added MMO. Quieted some.

@ThisWeekWithCars 2 года назад

Yes there is a low pressure pump in the tank as well. I was told they replaced both pumps but since the rear one is not working and the fuel gauge does not work I am wondering if they did the rear pump at all. We will find out soon!

@edjacobs8876 2 года назад

@@ThisWeekWithCars yeah. My fuel gauge quit also. I replaced both pump and sending unit. May want to carry a spare icm in your glove box. Ford's answer to the Mopar ballast resistor. Excellent content!

@806Guns 2 года назад

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

Always a bit of a worry when seeng that work has not been done correctly. Very wise to be cautious. It will be nice to see this one back in working order. Thanks again Steve for an interesting video. 👍👍

cycle the key three times to build fuel rail pressure

@harveyellis6758 2 года назад

Good video. You should be able to also test fuel pump by checking for resistance of the pump motor winding.

@keystonekid7451 2 года назад

Nice work Steve! Keep the videos coming! Cya on the next one

@ChanceSampson91 Год назад

I've been working on a b2 as well - moved it around the house and let it sit for a few months and when I went back to start it the ignition switch, key cylinder, inertia switch, AND on-line fuel pump were dead. I've never had so many things break on me at the same time lol

@ThisWeekWithCars Год назад

These do have a problem with the stupid clip inside the steering column. You may need to remove it and make sure the big plastic switch on the right side is still held tightly.

@bbrut3332 2 года назад

Yep ya need to go through the important safety driving systems. Good call on the fuel pump. I really hate incompetence in wiring and basic trouble shooting. You are lucky that crazy Ford aluminum ignition module still spit out fire

@tomspafford5368 2 года назад

@markguitarlfk 2 года назад

Steve, I'd love to see a video about how long gas can last in an old car and what you do about it. You seem to crank 'em over and have good luck, do you check the gas in any way first?

@edwardmulder3777 2 года назад

With some vehicles that have sat for 20 years or more the fuel often smells bad, plus there could be rust in it from the fuel tank, thereby clogging the fuel filter and also if stood long enough without running the carb could be contaminated and the fuel lines could also be bad , so empty the fuel tank, replace the fuel lines, clean out the carbie, change the fuel pump if necessary , make sure uve got spark to the plugs and it should start , unless of course it sat so long the rings corroded to the cylinders and pistons then u need to go through a whole other procedure

@donaldhalls2189 2 года назад

Not a bad start, shouldn't take long to nock that out, unless there is rust everywhere then I recon you done well, all the best to you and your loved ones

@stephenricketts7764 2 года назад

I agree, was thinking the same.

@arnaldofettuccine5227 2 года назад

OMG, I had one of those. 😱😟 had plenty of problems with it.

@alanmaxwell5932 Год назад

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

@05milmachine90 Год назад

I was thinking the same. 89 also went to one pump in the fuel tank and did away with that frame mounted stuff

@MM-mn2tu 2 года назад

Really enjoy trouble shooting will it run videos! Thanks!

@awesomeguy8392 2 года назад

I bet you could make that truck run and drive real nice Steve, even quite the ticking.

@RollingRigTraction 2 года назад

'88 or older, '89's are a different body style. '89's use a single fuel pump in the tank, '88 and older uses a low pressure pump in the tank and the high pressure pump in the frame rail under the driver seat.

@mikego18753 2 года назад

Thumbs up Steve.

Thats not a 89 model, it's older because of the headlights. I have two B2's 87 and 89.

@RollingRigTraction 2 года назад

Headlights, bumper and grille. I also have both generations, and '88 and a '90 currently. Had an '89 Eddie Bauer some time ago. They're great little rigs.

@TylersNeighborhoodGarage 2 года назад

Sorry but that takes effort to screw up the wiring when you only have two colors to choose from. Those are probably fun but at least the early ones make for poor highway vehicles. I had an '84, the very first one, with a carbed 2.8L V6. Way underpowered, and much too thirsty for such a small engine. The only worse car I recall driving was a 1984 Fiero 2M4.

@davidwilles8577 2 года назад

I assume this is one that Kevin from JYD hadn't got around to looking at as I would have been surprised if he had made those stuff ups with the fuel pump wiring.

@ThisWeekWithCars 2 года назад

He is the one who put in that fuel pump.

@jasonstorie8740 2 года назад

I had this exact year and color I loved this truck but I had a fuel delivery problem it would just die going down the road and I had three mechanics look at it and could not fix it someone before May really messed the wiring up and no one could figure it out and added some sort of aftermarket computer I would still have it if I could have fixed it.

@ThisWeekWithCars 2 года назад

These have a problem with the wiring in the steering column, I would bet the issue was there, the connector is terrible and can vibrate loose causing the fuel pump to randomly stop. I thought I was going to find that issue with this one but it was the actual pump instead.

@jasonstorie8740 2 года назад

@@ThisWeekWithCars thank you sir I sold it to a neighbor Who hasn’t done anything with it yet I might bad back from him

@zetamale7952 Год назад

That's an 88 or before. The front end and dash cluster are of an 88 or before.

@oncewaslost1982 Год назад

That's not an 89 unless it's had a front end swap. That front end stopped in 88.

@benmiller3358 7 месяцев назад

That's either not a 1989 or someone swapped the front faccia for a 83-88 "bull-nose" one. 1989 was the first year of the "Brick-nose". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Bronco_II

@matthwy1 2 года назад

@christophercole3936 2 года назад

@majormojo 2 года назад

That’s a special kind of lazy for someone to realize they’d wired the new fuel pump wrong and instead of fixing it, bodge the wiring on the truck to match. Yikes!
