There's NO WAY you have an 8 year old truck with 250,000 miles on it and are still using the orig. factory break pads.

04' 2.3L, 5 Speed with 103,000 and it runs like new. I had it on a dyno for ***** and grins a year ago and it's making 141 hp, doesn't use a drop of oil and runs like new. Should be good for another 100,000+ miles.

206,000. Runs good. Right now when I let off the gas after reving to about 2500 to 3000, it runs rough for a few seconds then ok. Sometimes it dies. Otherwise good. 22-24mpg. sorry its a 96. Love it!

My 1991, Ranger 2.3 (dual plug always had lots of power for my needs, had a 4:10 rear end (24.5MPG)At 396,000 miles I gave it to a kid at Church. I hadn't had the valve cover off the engine. I did a compression check at 392K and it was 180PSI per cylinder with nothing lower than 175 PSI, I did great maintenance on it. It never left me on the road one single time. Did the auto trans at 272K miles for $700 (I got connections LOL). Best vehicle I ever owned.

I replaced it with a 2006 Volkswagen TDI Beetle. It destroyed the engine at 128K, cost me over $5K to fix it and I did the R&R. It was an extensive job. Don't buy one.

Rangers ROLL !!
