“Looks like we’ll be learning to fix that thingy”. This is my kind of mechanic work. 😊
Fantastic work. A really enjoyable video. Thanks so much! Cheers!
I have one that has 384000 Still runs well I take good care of it
Holy moly that’s a lot of miles
i have my 2006 dodge ramn 1500 300 thousand miles and my 2002 ford ranger 800,000
@@Trucker120 Wow, mine (94 2.3L) has 450K and I thought I could beat anyone ... Lol
Sometimes I forget how good I have it, having all the tools and access to a shop. A lift makes all the difference in the world
Yes it does
I had a 96 that was a darker red. It looked so much like yours that I'm getting sad watching this. It waltzed to the right and I spent too much money fiddling with the steering configuration and suspension. I finally found that the sucker was wrecked and the frame was bent. Sadly I tried to fix an issue with its engine running a little rough by spraying Seafoam into the throttle body. This gunned the motor so much it blew a valve. I was fool enough to buy another Ranger versus just making do with the 96 and getting the engine fixed. Live and learn.
great vide...that's a bike rack in the bed...you take the front wheel off of the bike and mount it in.
I learned the hard way that there are better ways of testing the alt than disconnecing the battery lol :p
I put a 190 degree thermostat in my 98, 3.0 4x4 and it made a world of difference. Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
world of difference in what way ?
Turned into a great pickup.
Thank you!
Always uncover the shaft.
you seem like a pretty optimistic person
Looks like the 4.0l OHV not the SOHC. DO NOT use the red thread locker on that, it requires heat to remove. The blue is plenty.
Cool video fist off. Best part was the jack sequence.
Thank you! It was fun to do and I’m definitely going to put more elements like that in future videos!
Cool stuff! great truck.
Nice picUP!
I think your temp. gauge is probably working. Rangers run real cold. I have a ‘94 4.0 and the hottest I’ve seen it run was around the N in ‘Normal’
Good video the pickup truck look great dude and i love trucks i look forward seeing upcoming content
Hood pins work well if installed correctly! CHEERS from HERE!
Good luck in Tennessee finding a rebuilt 4.0 lol . Mom got near same ranger and $4200 to get a motor at auto zone ..
But all she's got in it. But no rust and low miles..
Very cool
Right when he said commercial, a commercial started playing😑
Like most viewers, there's an element of voyeurism, but more specifically, living vicariously through you. I would love to be doing what you are doing because those are nice reliable vehicles. That is, when roadworthy. You're obviously doing what it takes to get it there.
As you were working on the driver's window regulator, I couldn't help but to begin thinking of a budget(if I were in your position ) and keeping expenses to a minimum at this time to buying only the " essentials ".
So with the door panel off for access, as you worked on the window regulator, I thought some new speakers for a stereo would be or could've been considered a necessity. Huh ?
Aside from engine components that are needed and miscellaneous like brakes, wiper blades, etc. ,some trim like door handles, antenna.,......stereo ? ...,.door/ windo insulation and so on .
No criticism, I'm just thinking what I'd do. Not much different from your process.
This is what is so strange about being a viewer of videos like yours, I bet there is a lot of comments with recommendations and the like from most viewers, and I suppose that these are all natural correspondences and go along with being a blogger/uploader.
Thanks for the video.
I have a goal to be able to increase the budget on each project as I go along. A stereo and speakers are definitely in that goal!
Deschutes Royal Fresh. Nice choice
Also you look like you’re in Western Washington. I’m from that side but live in Spokane currently. This video makes me miss home lol
I live in the valley. Best brews and best selection. Whenever I travel the lack of a good range of flavors make me feel bad for the people that live in such brew deserts.
Spokane Valley? :O @@shadetreegarage4140
would you say that a truck like this would make a good daily? ny state for context
Absolutely it would!!!
So I know this is way after the fact but as a parts guy I have a few shops that swear by 'Thickster' gloves.
Like your videos, just as an FYI, you should put a compressor on your audio, or turn your mic gain down as it distorts...
Yeah, I’m constantly fighting the sound. I don’t have a real microphone, just whatever is on the device I using to record video with
@@shadetreegarage4140 I hear ya, but there are some things you can do after the fact to help with that. What device you using? PM me, I'm happy to offer assistance
Mine is an 02 but has 230,000. How much did you pay for your 4x4 edition?
Oh man
Twin I beam @ 10:30
how much did it cost you
Wow is this the first vin 4x4 of 1994?
Did you get the instrument panel working? I'm redoing a 93 ranger and I have no clue how to fix the gages.
I never got that far. Someone wanted to take it home so I let it go.
they are notorious for that.....change cluster. not very hard and best bets
@@shadetreegarage4140 how much did you get for it? I'm guessing 2k?
I have a '93 4.0 XLT 4X4 extended cab. I've had it for 20yrs and it has 255k miles on original drive train (trans rebuilt at 245k). The difficulty with the '93 is it's a 1 yr model and last yr of OBD1. Parts are still readily available and it's fairly easy to work on.
I beam suspension
Yeah!!! That’s exactly what there called!!!
Thank you!
No problem I been looking for a clean ranger like you found.. congrats to you man
I hope you find a good one! Around where I’m at the real good ones go for about $4000. My Mom still drives hers that she bought in 1999. We know every dent and scratch on it.
