I just got my little black ranger today But it has 255 000 miles (410 000kms) on it!!! Dont worry I got it for free from my grandparents I didnt spend a dime.
How much miles have you seen this little 3.0L motor get to?
When do most of the problems happen?

And yes this is my first vehicle!

Thanks guys!

perosnally i wouldnt buy it unless it had a new motor, trans, and rear end on it...

 

well it was free.
drive it till it dies.. then put a new motor in it or w/e dies first.

 

HMM oh i read the thread wrong oppsy in that cause run that ***** into the ground

 

Dude all you have to do it read man!!

But, She runs strong! But I dont know for how much longer?
If i where to put a new motor in what one would be perfered?
I would like something more inexpensive and easy to install. Also so more power. I was thinking drivetrain and motor out of and older 5.0L stang becuase at 255k the whole drivetrain would most likly to be shot too! How about 4.0L ? and possible supercharger?

I also didnt add that the body is mint no rust anywhere!
The truck was babied from day one 1. I bet it hasnt been over 4k!

 

I read..i read wrong just admited that...did you read? ^ lol....

 

i would just keep driving it and fix parts as they go bad.
IE throw a used 3.0 in if it dies.

 

I know but I am looking for some advice to.
I also appreciate everyone’s opinion and help.

The 3.0L is slower and I do realize its a truck but its my first vehicle and I would love to do some mods.

 

Just passed emissions new rear tires, windshield, plugs and wires, filter and rear brakes (drums and pads).No rust at all it was babied like a said earlier^^

I know this probably not the right forum but is lowering the rear end 2" difficult also inexpensive?

 

Thank you, you have been very helpful and I appreciate it!

As for cost on those would you have a rough idea at all?

 

Thanks, I’ll stop wasting you time and look in the suspension forum.
