Hey guys, I just purchased a 1999 Ranger 3.0 XLT 4x4 about a month ago for $700! It needed new plugs and wires (fixed the misfire)....New oxygen sensor (fixed the check engine light)...Pinched vacuum line (fixed the A/C to blow out of the vents and fixed the 4x4) I have a whole $840 invested in this truck and it has been great! I believe the transmission is on its last legs though so that is in the future.
