Why I left
well guys, I must bid you all farewell. After two front diff leaks, a rattling timing chain, bad brakes and some other problems I have turned the ranger in because I have been tired of it being in the shop. It was an absolutley wonderful truck when it worked but I can't be out on a trail in the level 2 and have more things go wrong. Its not so much the ranger as it was ford not helping very well to solve the problems that it did have. I went to two dealerships and neither was helpful to me. I wanted to call ford directly but this being the second car in a row where no one at ford will help me, I just gave up on the blue oval for now. I went to the dealership and looked to get something else at ford but they would only give me 12k for it and I thought that was a joke considering it didn't have 20k in miles on it.So I did what no other ranger owner wants to do, I went across the street to the chyrsler dealer and bought a jeep. I like it a lot and the parts availability is just mesmerizing. I grew up in livonia (roush racing, svt, livonia transmission, china operations) and was only a few miles from WorldHQ and Research and engineering. I do miss driving a blue oval but I wanted something reliable on the trail. Everyonce in a while I catch myself staring at another level 2 thinking "mines way better then that one because..." I thank all of you for support and info while I did own the ranger and think this is one of the best boards I have been on.
PS I have my front skid plate that is painted with POR 15 and is in good condition. Let me know if anyone is interested in a purchase shoot me an email nategracie808@yahoo.com |
hey man sorry to hear you sold the truck
but theres no reason to leave...update us on the jeep |
yeah man, stay!
its always nice to have michigan members, what part of brighton are you in? i have been staying at my gf's in hamburg. you should have posted something about the problems, im sure my dad(04 EDGE) would have helped you out. |

Being a member is more than just owning a Ranger!! We better continue to hear from you OR ELSE!! Blades
|
yeah, stay! I don't have a Ranger anymore and I love it here.

^ hows the house? bettter or worse than having a ranger?
|
Lot's of our guys have gotten Jeeps. Jeeps are great. Rangers are great but for different reasons -- sorry yours was a lemon but it happens I guess. Mine has been great and I beat the living crap out of it, lol.
Have fun in the Jeep! :smile: |

:worthless
Cant blame ya. the customer service at Ford leaves a bit to be desired. I live with a funky auto tranny, that shifts fun at times, the rattle, and some misc other issues.. like my driverside pwr door locks that dont work :thumbsdow other than it starts 99.9% of the time, and i only got stuck in it once. and 12K for a rnager with less than 20K miles? thats a joke! especially if its like 04/05/06 since their selling lvl2 around here used with 40K miles for 18K. what jeep give ya for it? |
