Hello all, my name is Wiley Robinson and I live in El Paso TX. I recently inherited my father's 1992 Ford Ranger. It's only got 79,000 miles on it but needs some stuff done to it as my mother let it sit mostly from 2000 until now.

Yesterday I had a pretty scary incident with the brakes failing (I'll post my questions about that in the tech section) so I'm hoping to get some good info here.

I'd like to keep the truck going since it belonged to my father. I'm not stranger to working on cars but this one is a little bit new for me (yep, I consider 1992 to be a new car, most of my other ones are around 30 years old).

 

welcome to R-F, Wiley!

 

Welcome...
I had a '92 XLT 4cyl 5speed. Great little truck...put 176k on her before getting my current truck.

 

Welcome Wiley another el pasoen! you ever need help lemme know My sgt has a house offa woodrow bean with every tool known to man

 

Hey, that's great there are other Ranger Forum members here in ELP. I've got to figure out what happened to my brakes yesterday. They were fine and all the sudden all sorts of weird stuff happened to them.

 

Man its a ranger thats how they were engineered lol never 100% normal

 

Yea, I've got a laundry list of stuff to fix already. Right turn signal doesn't blink, gas gage doesn't work, headliner hanging down. It runs good though, I drove it here from Georgia.

 

Welcome to RF!
