That's a clean little truck. :up:

My first vehicle was a 95. It was a tough truck. That thing has to be a dog with those tall tires on it. Good luck

im sure it is, my 91 with stock tires was bad enough. any one know of a turbo coupe forsale? :cool:

I had a '97, the sporty one (forget what they called it) with all the options. Unfortunately, it was a lemon and I traded it in with only 6000 miles.

Might have been the Splash.

I had a '96 with well over 100K on the clock and an '01 with about 60K on it when I traded it in, both of mine were excellent vehicles. Sounds like you did get a lemon, Rangers are generally very reliable.

my 91 had the same drive train as this and it has 164k on it now. its our shop truck now and still runs just fine.

[LOWBUCKMM]

I had a 04 ranger with every option. I put 60k on it with out a single problem. I towed what ever I could throw on the trailer. It was a good truck I miss it.

you know what you need. Two words, FORD RAPTOR!

I parted out an '88 Turbo T-Bird a few years ago.
I've got the exhaust manifold and the turbo around somewhere in a box.
I think that I also have the engine wiring harness.
(I'm keeping the intake manifold, as I've already had it cut, rotated 90 degrees and fully ported to match my Esslinger aluminum head....:D)

lol hell no, id leave it the way it is and put a built turbo 2.3. but i have no use for this truck, and it is for sale

[Youngblood]

I had a 99 lowered with all Roush suspension. And every bolt on known to man. Next step was a 5.0 swap but got the marauder instead. That'd be an awesome truck to swap a 5.0 in. =)

I think it was the STX version. It had a fuel problem (6 mpg) that they could not figure out, vibration issues, electrical gremlins (airbag light, chimes going off for no reason) and it leaked. I should have just gotten a different one under the lemon law.

Wow! For sure! I regularly got 27-28 mpg on road driving on mine, and zero mechanical/electrical issues, you definitely got aa bad one.

Trucks put a MM engine in a B4000. DO ITT!!!!!!!!

[ctrlraven]

Dave throw in a 5.0, even a mildly worked 302 makes it a fun truck to drive.
