Ok....the decision has been made. Forget all the talk I did about buying a $5000 Suzuki Side Kick. Old Billy Bob gonna put the "little red bronco" back on the road. You may ask what made me make this rash decision....well, I'm gonna tell ya. You all know how much I love that "little red bronco" and how much I hate that "that jeep" and how much I hate to spend a chunk of change ($5000) for something that I already own. It was a simple economic decision.
Now....I went out back to start up the bronco and holy cows, will it ever start??? Almost run the battery slap down crank'n that thing. Finally it just purred like a kitten....but I smelled raw unburned gasoline. What the hell....it never smelled like that before. Under the hood I spy something ain't right....gasoline was run'n out the carburetor. What everybody knows ain't right. Gonna fix that this weekend with a brand spank'n new carburetor kit from Auto Zone.
For 6 years I been run'n the "little red bronco" with a computer what don't work right. So we gonna change that too. Maybe even a couple three them electronic thingabobs what tell the computer what to do in case of emergency. You know.....like won't start, or sounds like a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower motor.
And then, I have to take the tow bar base plate back off "that jeep" and re-manufacture it to fit back on the bronco. Remember all the work I did when I took it off the Bronco and put it on the Jeep???? Boy howdy was that ever a job.
I did tell ya bout how bad I stomped old pesky neighbor Wayne's ass on the golf course??? He sure didn't like that whoop'n at all. But then again,he never could beat me no matter how many eyes I had open. So you know what he up and done? Bought a brand spank'n new set of golf clubs. Then challenged me. Is he out of his mind? We'll see.
The Bronco sounds like the way to go. So, are you going to let Wayne win so that he thinks the old clubs were at fault, and then the next time you play, bet him a bundle? That way fixing up the Bronco will not cost you anything.
ReplyDeleteI could beat you at golf with only 5 clubs playing left-handed.

OH OH And I am headed for Deming in the morning. I hope I don't get squashed between these two "pro" golfers next week.
ReplyDeleteWelllll,,,, it IS April 1, lies getting bigger, r what?
ReplyDeleteIm thinking that since I have never really met wayne and I know the tales BB can tell, maybe wayne really stomped you.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the ole Bronco on the road again, purring like a kitten and all shined up to look like new. Don't forget to replace those dry rotted tires. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a 1987 Bronco ll. If the ground for the computer is not good it will never run right. I'll bet that your computer is OK and the ground is bad. It is normally made to a stud on the engine to transmission case but it can be grounded anywhere. Don't ask me how I know. This problem usually happens after a transmission repair. Imagine that.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I'm on my second engine and I see no reason to buy a new car. I've had my car long enough now that I know more about it than the people that made it.
And It is Red.
ReplyDeleteThose old Fords are all metal and will last for a long time.
