I'm looking at a 90 broncoII for $200. It runs ok but it over heats. The guy tells me it needs heads. I'm not so sure. I'm going to buy it, but I thought someone might be able to give me some other things to check. It's a 2.9, stick, FI. what do you guys think could it be the heads? It doesn't miss, It runs & sounds fine.

Thanks

 

thermostat?

 

he probably means head gaskets, but thermostat, and the obvious check how much coolant there is, it might be leaking from somwhere, and if it's head gaskets, it's not that big of a job

 

does it blow any smoke

 

my 89 bronco2 did that and i just changed the thermostat and cleaned out the cooling system and i got a new radiator and radiator hoses and put in new radiator fluid it runs perfect alltogether it cost about 250$ it was simple to install

 

o and if u have oil in your radiator u could have a blow head gasket just ask if u need anymore info
