I loved my ranger. Wish I never got rid of it.

Hey man, i’m 19, thinking of selling my BMW F30 for something easier to work on and more reliable like this truck. Would it be worth it and a smart trade? The one i’m looking at looks to be in good condition and is selling for 12.

Got my 94 for 850 bucks on Friday. New spark plugs motor mounts and a starter and it's my new daily

@@pandamoto where on earth did you find that good of a deal in this economy??

@@lemau8458 it had blown motor mounts fucked tires it barely ran, etc.

@@lemau8458 I should go more into depth. Tires destroyed, vacuum limes disconnected, all 8 spark plugs and wires barely hanging on, needed coil packs, crank position sensor, EGR valve, it was NASTY inside. Ended up pulling the seats and rubber liner and pressure washing the inside. All that and then the cam synchroniser pin that connects it to drive the oil pump broke and the tweaker before me rtved jt and didn't tell me about it so that broke and I got rod knock, had to replace the rod and crank bearings, clutch, starter, flywheel, throw out bearing, clutch slave cylinder, and the positive and negative terminal cables for the battery. I'm sure there is more but all together im like 2500 in

Thank u!

Uhh what

Or in neutral

@@henrymccarty8014 didnt even think about that 😅 thank you man!

Um downshifting coming to a stop is just unnecessary wear on transmission. Just throw it in neutral hit the brakes done.

Thank u!

2.3 is a amazing engine. Your gonna love it

@MidnightRoush I've worked on a 2.3 before and even ford's old 1.9 and their easy to repair or maintain everything's pretty cheap as far as parts go and rebuilding the rear end on these trucks takes less than a Saturday to do from diff seal to braking components very easy to run thru. I'll be watching more of your ranger content as there's not a lot on these first gens

I love this color as well!! I owned two of the "creampuff" rangers is what I called them lol. This 89 and also a 90. Identical twins! Shortbed, single cab with 2.3 and 5 speed. My 90 was way more beat up though. Had chrome trim but it didnt have metal tailgate trim, Just FORD lettering. I really liked the look of the FORD tailgate, reminded me of older model pickup. I sadly no longer own any rangers anymore. I really want one of these again in the future, with same paint code. Would love for it to be 4x4 too. But thats one day HOPEFULLY lol.

The cover of the tailgate unscrews and pops off and underneath is the big f o r d letters

@@crayc-27 are you fr

@Sicc Icey Yea the silver cover with the tiny ford badge unscrews and underneath is the big letters like you have

That was the big ones they were cool aswell

Yes sir 👍🏽 it’s been a Southern California truck it’s whole life. Rust free! She has 155k miles on her now

It had a aftermarket magnaflow muffler on it. But stock exhaust setup.

@@midnightroush97 I have to go tmrw to pick it up. How’s the clutch and shifting ? Is it smooth? The salesman said a lot of people have looked at the truck but didn’t want it because it’s a straight drive. I told him that’s exactly what I wanted. Something to drive around so I’m not putting as many miles on my 2014 Raptor. Which is getting 8.9mpg as we speak.

@@GodfatherAl102892 is this truck for sale? I sold it a month or so ago. For reasons, meaning the transmission. If u can send me the link

@@midnightroush97 the raptor for sale or the ranger? I bought the ranger so I’m not spending so much on gas and keeping the mileage low. The ranger I bought is a 91 XLT 5 speed with 93,000miles

Im about to buy one to, how your truk doing it?

Hey, congrats bro! Sure, what kind of walk around ?

@@midnightroush97 one of the ford ranger from the video I'm tryna get ideas for mine and I saw alittle of yours in the begging and thought it looked pretty cool.

@@ChronicallySmokinChronic always wanted to do a 2.3 turbo swap if I could. Would he so sick

Had a magnaflow muffler, rest of exhaust is stock.

My model didn’t have PS 👍🏽 it did have AC though !

It does 70 easy on flat highways. Max is 85 on speedo (really) 80 is max. On hills that’s another question lol.

@@midnightroush97 I have a 1989 ford ranger 2.3 4 cylinder it's on my KZfaq channel. It's a Plane Jane truck it didn't come with power steering or ac This ranger was built cheaper. It kind of struggles getting up to speed the eggzost is plugged a little

@@hunterevans6878 had another ranger like this. It was a 90. I sold it to buy this one. But my other one struggled to get up to 65 too. I would have to be flooring it. I did full tune up too on that truck. I feel they’re really just old trucks lol, that was also a 2.3

I live down here in Washington have a 93 ranger 2.3 go from Moses lake to Yakima wa does about 50 55 on the hills going up to Yakima not to bad

@@midnightroush97 yep thats true, 2.3 ranger suffers to move their own weight uphill, but they dont drink a lot of fuel

U got to let our very lightly on clutch, you will feel motor start to stall. That is your grabbing point. Now u just need to give it gas while letting out clutch peddle
