Hello all. Just picked up a nice little 1993 Ranger extended cab with canopy. Starting on our adventure to build a nice looking daily that can turn into the rough at a moments notice.

 

Welcome to the forum

1993 was first year of 2nd generation Rangers
1983-1992 1st gen
1993-1997 2nd gen
1998-2012 3rd gen

2nd and 3rd gen parts are usually interchangeable the 1st gen Rangers were a bit smaller

1993 engine computer will be OBD1, Fords 60-wire EEC-IV, you can read codes using a short jumper wire and counting the Flashes of the CEL(check engine light), very easy to do, once you know how.

1995 and up Rangers got the 104-wire EEC-V it uses OBD2, just FYI
Engine sensors and wiring changed with the computer, so 1995 and up parts may not be compatible with 1993 engine

 

Thanks for all the info! I've got a lot of minor cosmetic repairs to sort out, so all those specifics definitely help a lot!
