| They want WAY too much money for that. 110k miles and within spitting distance of $13,000? Inflation has gone up, but not THAT much, lol. You could probably get a barebones Maverick for twice the cost. If you want a ranger and you don't have snow, consider a 3.0L Ford ranger 2WD and keep it private party. You'll get a lot more for your money. Make sure a good mechanic checks it out, first. The 3.0 runs forever. Transmissions go out before the engine does. | |||||
| Answer to: '99 Ford Ranger with a Lift? | 28Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... engineers designed it to ride like that and the drive shaft is more or less even with the differential. Lifting it produces an awkward angle that will prematurely cause wear to the transmission, driveshaft, and differential. You're also altering the gearing of the truck by increasing the tire size. The transmission would need to work harder to drive the truck, lessening its reliability. The Ford Explorer during that period was also built on a Ford ranger chassis and the more top heavy Explorer caused many tipovers. | |||||
| Best used pickup truck in South east asia? | 28Relevance | 5 years ago | Mr_Simple | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty! greetings from singapore. I am looking to buy a used pickup truck in Malaysia. My budget would allow me to get a decent 3-5 year old pickup truck. I am considering Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara (Frontier), Mitsubishi trition, Ford ranger, and Isuzu D'max. Toyota Hilux are great but they are very expensive. If I choose a Hilux, it has to be an older model. I did research on Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi trition, Ford ranger, and Isuzu d'max. But my research shows that Nissan Navara and Ford ranger is the least reliable with Mitsubishi being the most re ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2000 Ford Ranger power steering shudder when turning | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My '99 ranger has 265k and all of the steering components are still original. I may be a lucky one, though, as some guys were yanking a steering rack at the junkyard for a similar aged ranger as yours a couple months ago. My pump groans a bit when turning the wheel and not moving, but that's it. Turning the wheels while not moving strains the pump most, and it will make noise, especially if it's old. It also wears down your tires. Have you turned the wheel with the engine off at all? ranger power steering systems don't like that and will burp fluid. Try putting a piece of cardboard under the front end and check it for drips. That will point you in the direction of a leak. Also check around the cap of your reservoir, there's a tiny pressure relief hole in the top, and when the pump starts failing, it will "burp" fluid out of the tiny hole and build up greasy residue around the driver's side of the engine bay, and on the cap. Moving the wheel when off forces fluid out of the same hole. If you have the factory lifted ranger, the rack is fairly easy to inspect, as it's mounted on the back of the crossmember that the lower front suspension mounts to. Good luck! | |||||

| Sorry to hear that man. I had to sue Ford to get them to buy back my 2018 F150. You're not likely to get anywhere with Ford customer service. They will just keep telling you, "You don't qualify for a buyback based our criteria." What you want to do is look up your state's Lemon Law and see what the qualifications are. Pay particular attention to how many days it must be out of service and how many repair attempts the dealership gets to remedy the issue. Keep all of your work order copies in a safe place. Once you hit your Lemon Law requirement, contact ... | |||||

| Hi. I have a 2004 Ford ranger with almost 450,000 miles on it has original transmission (automatic) and probably original engine it’s become a pretty needy truck I’m constantly needing to fix something pretty much, I’ve been thinking I probably should just save up and buy a new truck (probably a Tacoma ) but I really like my ranger so here’s the question, would it be worth spending however many thousand replacing most of the truck’s components and making it essentially a brand new truck or would it be smarter to just buy a newer Tacoma (probably around a 201 ... | |||||
| First Truck. 2002 Ranger Vs. Tacoma | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | ALutz47 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... could help me decide between: -2002 Ford ranger Supercab 2.3L, 5-speed standard, with 170k miles. Seller is asking $4,250. -2002 Toyota Tacoma SR5 2.4L, 5-speed standard, with 208k miles. Seller is asking $4,000. Both of them are in great cosmetic shape, have clean titles, along with rear "seats", and are 2WD. From watching your videos I know the obvious answer to this question would be, buy the cheap ranger to save money, and buy the quality Taco if you can afford it. But my main question is, "Is it worth buying a higher mileage Toyota for a similar pr ... | |||||

| ... in the center of the engine block and two valves per cylinder, not 4. The valves were actuated by pushrods, not the cams themselves. Those engines were replaced at some time in the '90s with a new 5.0 single overhead camshaft engine. You could fit one in the body of my '99 Ford ranger and I thought about doing that modification before the ranger's frame cracked. There is someone with a modded 5.0 in a ranger somewhere near me. I thought it was a Mustang the first time I heard it, but that sound came out of a ranger. In 2010, Ford started producing the f ... | |||||

Hers is the 2.3L EcoBoost and mine is a 3.7L V6. She's on her 3rd purge valve already, and I'm two years into my replacement Motorcraft purge valve, the check engine light came on again two weeks ago, I scanned the car for codes today, that same P1450 code came up again.

| ... old Ford ranger with a 4-banger and teach yourself how to drive a standard. Those are almost bulletproof domestic trucks if taken care of. My 1999 3.0 ranger gets 19 MPG, I got 21.2 MPG once going 55, it's rated at 19 on the highway. Case in point about MPG, a 1999 Ford Taurus with the same engine would get around 25 MPG. The ranger weighs around 1,000 pounds more than the car. The 3.0 is available as flex fuel capable (look for a U in the VIN), but E85 isn't worth it. You lose more MPG per gallon than you save buying E85. My ranger is a flex fuel, but ... | |||||

| 2.3L 2003 ranger manual | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | John _Thurston | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, I currently drive my grandfathers 2011 f150 echoboost, but I’m looking to buy your own vehicle. That truck gets bad Mileage for these rising gas prices and as a 17 year old I’d like to have a not so nice vehicle that I won’t feel bad about beating on. I’m looking at a 2003 Ford ranger 5 speed manual with the 2.3L four cylinder. That seems like the most reliable set up for a ranger. And the most fuel economy too. What do you think about the reliability of this truck while having 120,000 miles? And is $3000 a fair price? Thanks | |||||
| Answer to: Ford f150 ecoboost thoughts | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I'm not a fan of that engine/ vehicle combination. That 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine would probably have been a great motor to put in a hypothetical Raptor model of the old Ford ranger, like my 1999, but it doesn't belong in a full size truck. It's too small for that heavy of a vehicle -the displacement is 0.3L less than the 3.0 Vulcan in my ranger. When my engine was new (it's pushing 270k), it put out 142 horsepower. It was also made for a sedan, not a truck. It shows. That 2.7 probably puts out similar power without that turbo ramming air into it, and it will ... | |||||
