well in order to get my wife a better vehicle i'm going to get rid of the ranger. i've already found a replacement truck and i'm very happy with it. it is a 1991 Ford F-250 4x4 with a 7.3L deisel motor. leaf springs all the way around so i can get a lift fairly cheap for it and i can go big. i will post pics of the truck later, but i plan on staying in the forum but will be looking for one for the F-250.

 

sounds like a big beast..

 

You do know that truck isn't a turbo diesel right?

 

sucks but hey good luck

 

It saddens me, but your a good man to do that for her!!

 

Bummer, but cool!

 

that sucks but i wouldnt have taken the diesel slow and boggy as hell..but thats super sad man..the gf needed a new car so we kept the ranger and bought a new car LOL..i wasnt gettin rid of it

 

i'm getting the deisel as a daily driver but i will be alternating between the F250 and my motorcycle. my wife wants a Fusion or a Equinox. And i can't keep the ranger because the military doesn't pay me enough to afford two car notes but i'm getting a 4x4 so i'm happy about that and when we sell my wife's old car I can get a turbo kit from banks for a decent price.

 

sounds good, any pics?

 

Seneca go to Powerstroke Forums . It's a great website about all ford diesels. I'm on there (997.3PSD).

 

I can understand not affording 2 car payments, My GF wanted a new car and I just couldn't afford it, we did some searching and got a great deal on a 99 taurus with the vulcan and 47K on it for 3500 bucks from an older gentlman. Good luck with the truck, sorry to hear you have to sell her, I don't know if I could do it....
