[QUOTE="Bryce R, post: 12669, member: 345"] Well I'm bummed. I picked up a 1990 Police Interceptor Bronco as a project rig. Seemed to run good and everything was in good shape so we desided this weekend to take it instead of tearing up the new truck. Well we load all the gear in the Bronco, hook up the trailer and loaded the bikes. We had about 300 miles in the truck to go before we would unload and ride. Well we were in no hurry so we set the cruise and kicked back and zipped down the road. Well at about 180 miles things got shitty. The truck started loosing a little power and just wasn't acting right. Well I desided I would whip in and check things out at the AutoParts store. After a quick check I notice the cap and rotor are a little burned so I do a quick tune up and replace the cap, rotor and wires. I fire it up and she runs but I can't tell if its changed anything......Well screw it lets go! We jump back on the freeway and fly down the road. About 20 more miles and check engine light kicks on....great! Oils good, temps fine, everything reads so I stick my foot in and and figure if she scatters we will unload the bikes and head into town. After we reach Pocatello. (230 miles) I deside to stay the night there. That night we desided to head for home instead of getting farther away with the crippled rig. I didn't take to kindly to not getting to ride so I ran the Bronco as hard as I could. I figured if she blew at least I could find the weak spot. Needless to say she screamed the whole way home with the Engine Light on. We got home and we were a little warm from the trip so we contacted my parents and hit the lake for a little tubing. After my arms had been jerked on all day by the tube neither my wife or I were ready to grab a bike and play. So in the end the bikes got put back in the garage for another day.:cry: [/QUOTE]
