  • I was lucky enough to find a Ford Ranger for $800 and then it ends up being the rarest package they offered.I have been wanting a small truck to run around town in so I don't have to constantly drive my huge diesel truck everywhere.

    Good thing you save it from the crusher, those old Ford Rangers are best small truck, that truck is perfect for a work truck.
    I wish I could have kept my 2002 Ford Ranger supercab 4.0 liter engine with 163,000 miles as a yard work truck.
    In January 24th, I ended up traded it for a 2009 Ford Ranger Club cab with 2.3 liter engine & original condition with low low miles of 15,154 and I am the 3rd owners, also it excellent gas mileage..
    I loves those old school Rangers

    Looks like you've got a nice little truck there after spending a bit of time and money on it. Another one to add to your massive collection!

    As a ford Explorer, ranger man, and have worked on so many 3.0L, & 4.0L, the thermostat housing on the 4.0L always warp/leak. I found an aluminum thermostat housing online, and brother they are a game changer. Just saving you a headache for the future. Just passing on some info. Be safe and take care

    I love the little ford rangers, had an extended cab 4x4 years ago and put 200,000 miles on it

    This would be a good 5.0 swap candidate. The frt frame section is the same as the Explorers that had the 5.0!

    Those are great little trucks, especially with the FOrd 4 liter V6, only .6 smaller than the V8 and run great! Had the Exploder with the 4.0 V6.

    Hey Dave, if the audio sounds a bit quiet or crackley, try getting some new capacitors and solder those in the factory amp. Capacitors diminish over time. Ive done it to a few factory amp vehicles and had awesome results. the higher temp audio caps also upgrade over factory ones sometimes, depending on what caps the manufacture used origanlly. usually costs between $45-65

    Man, do I miss my '04 Ranger. Had it since new; 4x4, 4.0l ,5sp manual. Wiped out on ice last Christmas day. Too bad you didn't get a hold of it. The engine ran great, it only had 96k miles.

    Four liters V6 rounds since the aerostars vans. I prefer the three liter in them. I have a low-mileage 4.0 aerostar. I use it a whole lot lately but used to be it was my going from property to property van.

    This is the first video I've watched of Dave working on this but I would like to know what features does a tremor ranger have cause a f150 tremor is nice but this thing only had a 4 or a 6

    Timing chain is the issue with all the 4.0 i ever seen.. with all the jackstuds and 5 different chains

    If the OD light keeps blinking it's usually a shift solenoid.

      It’s also an indicator of a misfire. I don’t know why but Ford did that.

    Out here in the rust belt Rangers die from their frames snapping in half before the engine even has a chance to fail.
