Hello Guys,
another new German, but living in Chile, Southamerica. I have another problem with my 4AOD transmision. Driving my 95 Bronco now for 11 years, about 250.000 Miles, mostly offroad. I had in the last 2 years problems, shifting from 2. to 3., when the Transmision was cold, but now I can use only second gear, speedo don't work and no overdrive. Only the idiot (control) lamps, from ABS and Overdrive, are blinking. It happend, while , I was cleaning the road and had the Car for about half an hour standing, with the Engine running.
The Ford Service here in Chile doesn't work and nearly all Broncos in Chile have trans problems and I have to fix the problem by myself. It will be difficult to get another Trans to Chile, but I would like to hear some opinions, from people, who care about their Trucks and don't want only to sell new stuff.
I would like to improove my Bronco. In general, I have to say, it is the best allround offroader, I ever had. Working in the forestal Business, I drive my Bronco daily, crossing mountains, forrests, mud and rivers.
I put 33x12.50 Tires on 10x15 wheels, lift the front with spacers about 2", so the frontaxel can crank? a bit more and fixed Rancho HD adjustable dampers, but with harder dampers, offroading got worst. Another thing, we have in Winter a lot of mud and the Bronco is realy heavy and I hate digging. Normaly the Bronco goes better in heavy terrain, than other Trucks, but in mud.
Is there something to improve it? Another thing is, you can't drive fast on 'stoney' roads, the Bronco jumps about 1 Meter sideways on the rear. I tried some softer Springs on the rear, but it doesn't work. As I wrote before, would like to hear some experts.
I think, I'm the last Bronconuts here in Chile.
Regards
J
