What are the 1996 Ranger 2.3 watch outs or comming issues
What are the 1996 Ranger 2.3 watch outs or common issues?
I bought one of these little trucks for 100$ the other day and brought it back to life, other than some rust underneath it seems in fair shape. I did the timing belt, radiator, thermostat, IAC, temp sending unit, temp switch, plugs and wires and had to replace the dash lights. She seems to run well, the odometer stopped at 180k so I'm not sure of the mileage, and I know the motor is not the original because the previous owner ran it hot and blew the head gasket. Compressor is good on the AC so I'm going to try and fix that next, I believe its just a leak in the system. Any help to keep this thing going would be great, it burns a lot less fuel than my 6.2 Silverado so ill be driving the wheels off of it.
