My handle is OkieGentleman.
I spent a number of years driving company Ford Rangers and I probably drove about 500,000 miles in them while on company business. I retired several years ago and it seemed every time I turned around I needed to haul something. I got tired of putting potting soil and such in the back of my sedan, so I started to hunt for a pickup on the internet.
My choice was naturally a Ranger. After about 2 months of driving my wife nuts bidding on trucks in Mass, Florida or California I found one in Tulsa Oklahoma just 100 miles away.
I am now the proud owner of a 1998 XLT Ranger SuperCab with a stepside bed with 193,00 miles on it. The interior is tan and the paint is Bright Amber. Needs some TLC but I have a new project.
I have already saved about $700 or more with information from this and other forums about Rangers. I may have a few tricks I have learned in my career that are worth sharing. I look forward to reading posts about your customizing and repairs to your Rangers.

 

I am also a new member in Oklahoma City. I bought a 2003 Supercab stepside about 6 weeks ago. I should have it on the road in a couple of days. I had a blown head gasket. I decided to rebuild the motor since you have to pull the engine to replace the head gasket. It is a 4.0 SOHC. And it had 171,000 on it. I should be good to go for quite some time now.
Best of luck with yours.

 

Are you a working stiff or an old retired fart like me?

Send me a PM and we will trade phone numbers, are you on the north side or southside of OKC. We can get on the phone and talk about our new toys.
