I picked up # 20 tonight. Some will say your crazy cause its got way high miles but its in nice shape and I drove it home...lol 230,000 miles and it has a burnt valve. Anyway here's a couple bad pics...I also picked up a Reznor for 50 bucks from the guy!!!

 

Whats the plans with this one?

 

Well probably just a set of heads and maybe some other minor stuff then up for sale...not really sure yet...

 

nice.. needs a honeycomb grille lol

 

I have one but I probably wont change it, I'd rather save it for the 4x4 I'll be building sometime soon...lol (I have a frame)

 

ahhh nice!

 

I actually thought about sitting this body on it but I kinda hate to tear it apart. Then
I would have another 2wd frame nobody wants...lol

 

frame is worth a fair bit at the scrapyard isn't it?

 

Hell yeh. Thats super clean for 230k.. Id use the body for your 4x4 project and scrap the frame.

 

Probably make more money that way....lol

 

wow why cant i find a deal like that. that would solve alot of problems for what i want to do. new bed front end swap. damn your lucky

 

Nice man

 

If u put my 2.3 and 5 spd out of my 03 in it I'd trade ya lol! :P:P :D i want that red!!!!!!!!!!

20..thats nothing im 21 and I've had 5 rangers and 2 for parts so I guess you could say 7. If i keep it up i'll pass you in no time.

 

You just have to keep looking and move fast when you find something, Deals are out there...

Thanks!

Anything is possible...lol

Surgery will probably begin this evening...lol

3.0 Flex auto. Its a loaded truck, power doors, cd remote entry....

I pulled it outside and took a few better pics...

 

Truck looks good

 

Yeah it looks awsome for 230k

 

Holy crap 20 Rangers.... DAMN!!!! That is awesome... When can i drive up and get me a Fleetside bed?

 

lol I only have 2 right now and don't want to do a swap because they don't need painted. I have traded beds before though ...

 

gawd that is clean....

one more for John "Gotta catch em all" Hudson

 

Update! Well after having the truck for 5 days I had pulled the upper intake and found an injector unplugged and another not making connection due to the rubber gasket(inside the plug) out of place. I put it back together and took it for a ride. It ran pretty good but didn't idle smooth. So Yesterday I swapped out the crossover and cats the previous owner had gutted for good cats and drove it to work today. Well It ran ok at speed and excelerating but missed at idle and when OD kicks in. So when I got home I decided it was time for a head swap since I had a spare set with low miles...anyway here we go...
Here's a pic before. I started to tear it apart and realized you guys would probably want pics...lol

First thing I pulled the upper intake off.

Next I got all the wires out of the way, removed the altenator and mounting bracket, and cooling system hoses.

Next I pulled the valve covers just for kicks...lol

Notice the blue(probably felpro) gaskets showing atleast the intake had been off before.

Anormal person would pull the radiator to get the bolts out on the ps/a/c mount but I pulled the idler pully and compressor loose so I could get to the three mounting bolts up front

I then pryed it forward a little to make sure its not in the way for the head removal and reinstallation.

Thats it for tonight
