Diesel Ranger
 

Anyone see any of these? and if so, what were the specs? like which engine, hp/torque, swapped outta wut, etc. i've seen a couple of vids but either they're the 83 ish rangers or the ones from brazil or w/e with the 3.0L stock, im curious about this for my own possible swap...

No one on this forum has ever seen nor desires to see a Diesel ranger. If we did we would throw rocks at them.

I seen a project for one somewhere I'll try to find it again but it was a powerstroke they just had the block in it and the turbo hooked up when I seen it.

........Oh God,I remember the diesel from the factory, '83-'84 had a 2.2 diesel,and '85-'87 had a 2.3 turbo........back in '83 we had a 2.2 diesel Ranger for a "parts runner",what "POS"!!!!!!!!!,and the 2.3 was not much better,not many were built(thank God)...........I wouldn't even waste my time throwing rocks at 'em!!

liar! id take one right now...


better yet id rather just build one myself... cummins power.:biggrin:

Speak for yourself lol

oh yea! i htink i have that issue.

I love the idea of a powerful and efficient diesel engine in a Ranger, 4.0L turbo would rock!

But correct me if I'm wrong, if you ever rolled a diesel it would continue to run until it blew up. I think thats why people who off-roading their diesel's are converting to propane. :confused:

That is one sweet as Bronco, one of these days I'd like to own an early 70's Bronco and drop a 5.0L FI motor in it as I don't think I could afford to build a Cummins 4BT, and dam that thing is 700lbs, but 28-30mpg!

I love the idea!! Someone needs to build one of these, that would be sweet!

I'd like to have one

i knew someone long time ago who had a cummins diesel in there ranger! pretty quick from what i remember

i want one. maybe someday when my 3L dies i will put a diesel in it...screw the 302..

maybe import the 3.0l diesel from the UK :shhh:

i think if i ever made mine into a trail rig i would convert to propane. alot of my buddies are runnin propane on their yotas and buggies...thats the way to go

i love the idea of a diesel

go to youtube and put in cummins ranger and there is a sick ranger with the cummins 4bt in it and it dumps out smoke like the 5.9 cummins...


if you have the money go cummins....youll never go wrong...


just cause you cant fit the 7.3 powerstroke in a ranger haha

That'd be awesome to own a diesel ranger, love the torque they've got.

.. Costs more then Gas right now by almost 30cents a gallon here where I'm at and they see no increase in distance per gallon either.
