Oh yeah baby. I bought my 94 b2300 2.3 5spd in 2016 with 160k miles for $600. Has about 275k now. I would absolutely beat that truck so hard the first couple years I’ve owned it. At least 5 burnouts a day, clutch kick skids, off-roading. Blew a headgasket,blew my driveshaft off, then blew my 5spd trans. Thing only has 130ft lbs of torque, but after enough time of beating on it at such a constant rate Something will eventually give. Some people still make fun of me here and there for driving it. Coworkers and some friends and such. Old 💩 box. Idc. I love it because it’s fun and I know I can always fix it. Blew the timing belt last week, replaced the belt a year prior. I assume I just bought a poorly made belt. Took me 2hrs to change. Awesome truck.

Good video Owen keep up the good work dawg

How fast can you go on the highway?

Please dont use a claw hammer to hammer hardened tools like that socket or extension. Unless you like shattered steel shards shooting into your body.....

I had to do this because the place I went for tires broke my lug key and sent me on my way without doing the job

If u set the socket on the ground and tap the side with a hammer while rolling it the lug will pop right out

easier way get a old half inch drive extension tack weld it to the key and use a rachet and take it off

how funny would it be if you heard "hey! get away from my..." at the end of the video

The key for that lug is $14 at O'Reilly Auto parts, just ask for a wheel key, or buy the set of locknuts for your car and it will come with a key, either way its cheaper than wrecking 4 $5 sockets

they sell extractor sets for less than the 4 sockets you seem to be sacrificing if you are doing all 4 wheels

Be careful using a cheater bar,the tools aren’t meant for extra force🙏

My dad has a 94 running daily right now with a 400k+ miles on it. Sweet rides

Gotta do cat back and y pipe

Shocks are cheap all vehicles need tires replace both and have a nice ride. Hell I don't see any body rust that is awesome. Way cheaper than a new vehicle

The Ford Ranger, especially a four cylinder with a 5-speed is my favorite pickup truck. And in my opinion it is the second best pickup truck on the market. The reason it's my favorite and not the Toyota Tacoma which is the best, is because the Ford Ranger is 90% of the goodness of the Toyota Tacoma without the Toyota tax. Considering that 90% of the goodness of a Toyota Tacoma for less than half the price still means you're getting an awesome truck, the ranger especially the four cylinder 5-speed one is a very good deal. As long as it doesn't have the single overhead cam 4.0 it is a good truck, but the four cylinder is still the best.

Good investment. Fix it up a little at at time. You won't regret it.

Paid $500 for my 1994 Ranger, 4.0 v6 4x4 automatic. Had 112,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2022. I wish it was the 5 speed but I love it and it’s my daily driver.

What are the things to look for when finding a 2.3L? I can’t find em anywhere nobody wants to get rid of them!

I also have a '94 Ranger 2.3, 2wd regular cab. It has 222,000 miles on it. I bought er' in 2017 for $500 and have done the following: New fuel pump, alternator, water pump, leaf spring, tires, and catalytic converter/tail pipe. I figure I have about $1500 into it, with the tires being the most expensive part. Well worth every penny considering how some people pay upwards of that price for just one month of truck payments.

As another Ranger owner, they are good work trucks. Just start tackling the issues and fix it up. I saw cosmetic issues other than the front end collapse but that could be as easy as new coil over springs or twisting the keys a bit like in my 4x4 version. Yes everyone ridicules the POS Rangers but you treat them nice and they are good vehicles. My AC by the way will freeze your axx out of the truck and I live in south Texas were hundreds and humid is not uncommon. The AC's are way oversized for the small cab so get a new compressor onto it and check you lines for leaks. Parts are still available so don't worry too much and start fixing that beast up. Its also a good car to learn to turn a wrench on it. Enjoy it.

Is your spare tire the original underneath? It will still have the blue on the lettering if it does.

I personally think if it's not a V8 it shouldn't be loud. 4 Cylinder and v6 should have more musical sound like a quality sound, intentional. A V8 (usually) sounds good no matter what. V6 quality resonator and quality mufflers and high flow cats give off a way superior sound imo. The straight pipe to me is for cheap broke high schoolers first cars. We've all been there.

At 30 years old it's a fantastic vehicle! This looks really nice! I have a 1997 2.3 5-speed 7' 2wd.

Those monster,Big tires drag the engine down,as well as fuel mileage.

A really nice truck. I know several people that have Ford Ranger pickups and they have had wonderful service out of them. Really good choice for the price. Thanks for sharing!

I just bought a 94 2.3 manual ranger for $700

any links for the exhaust or tips?

do you have a link for exhaust or tips?

I noticed your fuel gauge not working, mine broke too years ago. Can you show the paperclip fix again, didn’t get it

One of the Best lil American Trucks Around Not like the Toyotas and have the frame Rust out

What did he do with the paper clip? I’m having the same lock up issue

Or you could just fix the leak…

clean that engine bay

I have a 1994 Ford Ranger 2.3 L. It'll run forever. This engine lasts if you change the oil regularly and take care of it. 1. You need to change the belt. 2. You need new tires, if even you buy new used tires. That will help with the front end. Bad tires will wear it out fast. 3. The crank windows are a plus, less to break less to short out. 4. The 5 speed transmission is a plus. It'll last forever unlike an automatic. Its also a great anti theft deterrent for most car thieves. 5. You can live without AC. I'm 63 and I do and you'll be fine. Builds character ;) Good job on this truck what you've done so far and on getting it, learning to drive the stick and if you take care of this truck it'll be around 10 years from now still running.

No me digas eso

Is that Pittsburgh pick n pull.

When at a junk yard leave pieces you don’t need inside a car shut the doors help the next person out. Throwing that hatch piece someone might be needing it.

Nice truck! I can outdo ya. 1993 Dodge Ram D150, 3.9L V6 Magnum Paid $500

why did you need a truck?

I don't mind appearing in you're videos bro!

hellcat swap coming soon?

I wouldn’t necessarily call them a cheap truck to buy unless it’s a high mileage one like this, the nicer ones with lower mileage can fetch a decent chunk of change. It’s also a 30 year old truck, most of the things that are broken on it are normal. The 2.3 is bulletproof, especially since you’ve got the manual transmission that’s made by Mazda. It’s not a ‘94 either, it’s a ‘93 since ‘94 added a 6th digit to the odometer, third one doesn’t have it.

informative and educational video. Thanks for the helpful tip?

is it cold

Your title is correct. Every Ranger from the 90's in my area, is listed under $3000.

Bought one myself recently about a month ago last June for the same price. 2.3L 5 speed with 126k miles. I put about 500 on it because I had to replace the stock starter and I wanted to fix the ac. Honestly such a good ride, and best car to learn to drive a manual. I actually bought it and drove it back home without knowing how to drive a manual. Planning on keeping it until I can't get any parts for it anymore.

Had a 94 4.0 V6 one tough little truck Danger Ranger 💪💪

Even if it does have 198K, it will go another 100K if you keep up the maintenance.

I got a 94 ram run and drive for $2500
