well the problem is it's only wimpy sissy girl 40 proof vodka plain and simple he needs a higher alcohol concentration then 40 proof it's not enough for the engine
Vodka is 40% ABV, so the other 60% is water. Very surprised that engine would run on it... I had a NIGHTMARE scenario back in college where the sorority chick that was driving had water in her gas tank. Conked out going to & from PSU. Can't imagine it was anywhere near 60% water situation though... My guess for next episode would be Everclear, but you'll have to cross state lines out of PA to get the 95% stuff.
i kind of expected it working on high rev but not low because if you push enough heat into water it expands almost as good as explosion from buring fuel then again this is probably how would engine run on 50:50 with water and gasoline too if it would mix, and if not , just add pure ethanol to mix it if it run wel enough i don't think itis a way to save fuel though
When you get pulled over and they ask you if you had something to drink you can always pull out this and tell them "no but the Ranger had waaaay too many" 😂
Just discovered you yesterday. You're one of my favorite UA-camrs already. Great stuff and hilarious. Just subscribed. Side note: this truck is a great testament to 1990's Ford quality. They made some indestructible vehicles back then, this truck being one of them. I know he is a Toyota guy but I would love to see the car care nut inspect this truck.
That German 2.3 4 cylinder is a beast. I had a 1991 back when I was 16....and should have never sold it. However tune ups were a rough as it has 8 spark plugs
Autovlog Awesome Video I think it's awesome that the Danger Ranger is back up and running and I can't wait to see more experiments and I think it sounds absolutely hilarious
Slick video Mike. Love the range you have (no pun intended lol) between your sportscar/supercar content and the beater Ranger. Just keeps your channel fresh and not so concentrated on one thing. I will say you are abusing that bad boy and it's taking it like a champ. Just shows things were made pretty well, what 30 years ago now?!
So wholesome the fun driving that, you can see it on your face. You abuse it but you are wanting it to carry on and why not. It sounds crap but so funny at the same time. And you finally lost the bag on the bed after the final re fuel, all that crap flying about back there. 🤣
Interesting vid. I’m going to go ona limb and say that the “magic touch” is just a more comprehensive familiarity with a specific vehicle to the handful of times a mechanic may operate a clients car. Kinda like those old school motors where you hear the operator say, “if ya start it up cold, ya gotta smack it twice and hit the primer three times, cuss under your breath and it’ll start up on the 5th try.”
This would be a dream come true for my husband lol just to have a little old truck he could tinker around with? He would LOVE it! I'm gonna send him the little series on ole' faithful here lol 🛻🛻
I’m from England and I used to have a 1994 Vauxhall Combo van (Vauxhall being the UK arm of GMC), that ran on diesel but I used to take used engine oil from my friend who is a mechanic and run it on that, no refining, no filtering nothing and I used to top it up with used vegetable oil from the fast food joint down the road from me…. And she ran like a dream !
Condensation buildup in the carburetor of older cars, can be caused from using "lower" proof alcohol, as the water content isn't fully evaporated, so it just builds up and eventually flood the carburetor. Could that be the issue?
This is a 2nd gen Ranger, I think with a four cylinder. They were phasing out carburetors in favor of jettronic and injection during this generation. I tried to look under the hood in one of the previous videos but I can't really tell if it's fuel injected or not. Obviously condensation is not great for injectors either.
This is FORD THOUGH!!! HHAAHA Nice!!!! Vodka as alchohol NEEDS much more fuel to enter the engine, that's why its sputtering, the ECU is reaching its limits and misfiring because of that. Nice content
Hahaha this is so funny! I feel that kind of video is very healthy for us who are passionate about cars! Cars are make for us to have fun and laught! This is what you do with it even tho is an old pick up still very nice to watch and entertain us😅
to my experienced nose, it was the timing tensioner, spring or tension was lost, perhaps the sintered bearing was coming loose, then finally the timing belt went kaput when the tension was lost~ this is my assessment, and I'm stickin' to it~!
The metal you found in the last video is the bearings coming apart. That could be why she's struggling in spots still as there is probably very little bearing material left as vegetable oil is not a very long lasting lube. I'd recommend the bearings be replaced if you plan on keeping it a while. The engine is unfortunately getting close to locking up
@autovlog I think your starter got stuck in engage position with flywheel the first time you cranked with the vodka, thats why it was making wierd scraping noise, ergo, it killed the starter 😂
Ayyyye the only other person I could find! I made the comment today on his other videos, I have experienced this before in a suzuki carry farm vehicle of ours. The ignition can stick when they get old, and they keep the bendix engaged. Spins the starter at like 40k rpm and shreds the windings. Booya!
I run my non flex fuel vehicle on E30 fuel quite a bit. Tried E50 once, thought the rods were gonna go thru the block or something, so added some E10 to bring it down.. That being said, drinking alcohol does have some water in it, unlike the ethanol at the fuel.pumps.
You got her drunk (Driving Down Street in my 94 Danger Ranger) should fix exhaust leaks and just straight pipe her make her better, I love it,she a keeper
I Believe u brotha but try 151 or higher next time will hear it Have a Ghost Camshaft might even sound straight piped specially if u take off that dirty Muffler that's ruining the back pressure ...anyways Raise hell brotha keep on Keepin on 💥🔥🏁
You know he’s a car guy when he laughs just as hard driving a ‘94 Ford Ranger as he does driving a Jaguar F Type R 😂
I know right. It doesn’t matter what he’s driving. He just loves cars
Proof that you don't need money to get hella smiles per gallon
vodka is only 40% alcohol ie the combustible part... gasoline is 100% combustible, so wtf would you expect any different than diluting gasoline to 40%
Is it time to start a rebuild and reconditioning of the Danger Ranger?! She's proven her reliability and now deserves some love ?! Idk. ❤
I agree breaks my heart
a truck has no feelings lil bro
Not sure you understand what's happening
Brave Little Toaster before your time?
I'm dying lol 🤣🤣🤣
I'd try new spark plugs. But clearly, this machine is unbeatable. Solid piece of engineering! I love your experiments!!! Please more of these!
This particular Ranger is a rare beast, indeed. Have you ever owned a Ford? 😂🤣😂
2.3l liter is the original Pinto engine block. 30 year old design, just with fuel injection.
Yay more danger ranger content!!!
The exhaust note is like no other 😂😂😂 Love it
well the problem is it's only wimpy sissy girl 40 proof vodka plain and simple he needs a higher alcohol concentration then 40 proof it's not enough for the engine
It’s like Biff Tannen said in Back to the Future, “nobody can start this car but me.”

Man of culture🤝
My car is picky when it wants to start. I finally figured out where to hit it when I turn the key. I'm Biffin it
Get the hell out of my car old man.
I knew that truck wouldn’t die! 😂
The danger ranger is the American version of the Toyota hilux top gear tested and never died.
Change the spark plugs and it will run perfect 100%
plugs should be fine, probably cleaner now
just redownload the update
@@YoungBlazeclose that yap trap
It just doesn’t matter if he’s driving a Ferrari or a ranger. He laughs and smiles at all of it. He is a true car guy.
I absolutely adore it when you make Danger Ranger videos, best pick-up truck in the world
Love the older vehicle content. Keep it up Mike
Vodka is 40% ABV, so the other 60% is water. Very surprised that engine would run on it... I had a NIGHTMARE scenario back in college where the sorority chick that was driving had water in her gas tank. Conked out going to & from PSU. Can't imagine it was anywhere near 60% water situation though...

Please rebuild and restore this ol’ girl!
Great content always, been watching you since your second C63 AMG, when your first one got hydrolocked.
6:26 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😅
This is a real car, old beast.
When you get pulled over and they ask you if you had something to drink you can always pull out this and tell them "no but the Ranger had waaaay too many" 😂
The way you say not IF but WHEN😂😂

6:15 "shut up" LOOOL
A Ford Ranger is just like a sore Peter... Ya just can't beat 'er
Danger-Ranger never dies!
Get some Everclear 151 in there! Should have her running great!
See how strong that ranger is, thats just so satisfing. Great videos, now im thinking on buying my self one of those
This is the ranger that will never die. He loves it too much ❤
These videos never get old😂 love the danger ranger
You actually can auction that truck off it's a legend!!!
Drinking and driving i see 😂😂
His laugh is contagious to me lol 😂
Autovlog Awesome Video I think it's awesome that the Danger Ranger is back up and running and I can't wait to see more experiments and I think it sounds absolutely hilarious
This car is a national treasure keep at all cost
The truck needs an AA meeting..🤔
🤣
7:20 LMAO 🤣...
I have a very old 1ton Nissan pickup utility truck and sometimes the 5th gear does that shit when shifting.
I felt your pain
Slick video Mike. Love the range you have (no pun intended lol) between your sportscar/supercar content and the beater Ranger. Just keeps your channel fresh and not so concentrated on one thing. I will say you are abusing that bad boy and it's taking it like a champ. Just shows things were made pretty well, what 30 years ago now?!
She is just hungover!
Im rooting for the Ranger.
The joy you have from driving this truck cannot be replicated by any other car…😂.
@6:17
Danger ranger: rrrrrhrrrr
Mike: shut up
😂
Gulp, we live in hope. She doesn't disappoint!
Straight piped Danger Ranger!
The danger ranger is a beast..... American built. Sweeden powered with passion and love. And excitement.
My 3rd gear went out in my 1st ranger
I think you should do a head gasket test using that blue fluid on the rad cap to see if it changes color
So wholesome the fun driving that, you can see it on your face. You abuse it but you are wanting it to carry on and why not. It sounds crap but so funny at the same time. And you finally lost the bag on the bed after the final re fuel, all that crap flying about back there. 🤣

4.0 were awesome motors too you need to find one with that motor too.
That's definetly not the 4.0.....it's the German 2.3 four cylinder.
@@adambower5591 the 2.3 was also a great engine, I had a 93 Ranger with this engine and you can't hurt them.
I was dying the whole video 🤣🤣😂😂
Would love to see what the spark plugs look like lol. One badass little truck
It's how she was like give me a second and just came back to life😂😂
Ford Ranger song at 6:23, best part of the video. 😅
The Danger Ranger needs some love and good ⛽️ fuel. Go Danger Ranger.
7:02 - 7:10 sounds like a bad date 😂😂
I 'd like to see the spark plugs. 😛😎👍
Yay, it’s back!!!
I am new to your vids.... very entertaining!!
This would be a dream come true for my husband lol just to have a little old truck he could tinker around with? He would LOVE it! I'm gonna send him the little series on ole' faithful here lol 🛻🛻
Cool Ford, vill köra den! :D Hälsningar från Sverige!
*misses gear* “shut up” 😂😂😂
You sir, are my spirit animal.
Thing sounds like a 2 stroke...badass
One of my favorite scientists on UA-cam.
Thats the song I was thinking about play that again doing a drive by or when your pulling 6:39

Ford Tough. Tractor 🚜 Company motors indestructible 😁
A Ford Rangers rolls into a bar and orders 1 bourbon, 1 Scotch and 1 beer...
🤣
By properly mix do you mean shaken not stirred ?
The truck is drunk😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think Mike needs to get more project cars. Never seen him so goofy excited
For rangers are the best Mike, great video keep them coming brother peace ✌️ 👍 ❤
This is FORD THOUGH!!! HHAAHA Nice!!!! Vodka as alchohol NEEDS much more fuel to enter the engine, that's why its sputtering, the ECU is reaching its limits and misfiring because of that. Nice content
And the spark plugs need to be specific too
Also it could have wacked the fuel injectors
Hahaha this is so funny! I feel that kind of video is very healthy for us who are passionate about cars! Cars are make for us to have fun and laught! This is what you do with it even tho is an old pick up still very nice to watch and entertain us😅
The truck has recently turned 30, and is stronger than ever
Try Everclear instead of vodka
It'll eat up the seals. It will run, but it will probably damage the fuel system
to my experienced nose, it was the timing tensioner, spring or tension was lost, perhaps the sintered bearing was coming loose, then finally the timing belt went kaput when the tension was lost~ this is my assessment, and I'm stickin' to it~!
This is amazing!
SCHRRRKCKCKC "Oh shut up...." XD bruh
This truck is truly amazing 👏 😂😂
Need a flame tune on the Danger Ranger!
You need to put moonshine in the tank lol
Great idea
Yep, some everclear.
Spend a couple bucks and give it a tune up. New plugs and wires and she will run a lot better for more shenanigans!!
The metal you found in the last video is the bearings coming apart. That could be why she's struggling in spots still as there is probably very little bearing material left as vegetable oil is not a very long lasting lube. I'd recommend the bearings be replaced if you plan on keeping it a while. The engine is unfortunately getting close to locking up
trucks having a hangover
@autovlog I think your starter got stuck in engage position with flywheel the first time you cranked with the vodka, thats why it was making wierd scraping noise, ergo, it killed the starter 😂

I love this truck more than anything ever shown on your channel! She will be missed when she dies...
Lol first time viewer and I love this guy. However, the guys in the shop hate this dude 100%. I want to see THIER vlog after he leaves 😅😅😅
You got her drunk (Driving Down Street in my 94 Danger Ranger) should fix exhaust leaks and just straight pipe her make her better, I love it,she a keeper
Raise Hell Praise Dale 🏁🏁🔥💥
I Believe u brotha but try 151 or higher next time will hear it Have a Ghost Camshaft might even sound straight piped specially if u take off that dirty Muffler that's ruining the back pressure ...anyways Raise hell brotha keep on Keepin on 💥🔥🏁
Also Order u a performance MSD Coil pack❤🔥🏁💥 ur plugs will be firing with way more power 💥💥🏁🔥
Swear nothing can kill this damn truck
Come on man the Ranger needs more power!
How did you not throw a piston through the engine block using vegetable oil?
I ♥️ my FORD!
Thank you for sharing this fu boss 👌👌👌
knowing that he did hell to the truck and the truck wont start : Wata heul como meh! 6:35
I like these fun videos more than the high end car stuff lol
You should try putting 90% isopropyl alcohol in the tank, I'm curious to see.
That second gear cherp let us know she’s just fine now 😂 nothing drives like these old rangers
6:25 is there a full song? If it's a real song then what is it called and who made it,I need to know who made that song and what it's called ASAP!
