i was looking around on the internet today and bam! i came across a 1985 ford ranger diesel, i guess they put them in the ranger when ford started the model, does anybody know anything about these engines, good?, bad?, i want to get one but idk.

 

they are rare and way underpowered a guy i worked with had one a few years back he had alot of trouble finding parts for the motor i think it was an optional motor for the b2s also but im not sure

 

Swap it with a newer oilburner

 

YouTube - 1984 Ford Ranger perkins power


yea i was just browsing and found this on youtube

 

I've seen a few diesel Rangers running around my area. There is one that has a flatbed on it and stacks. Its rather unimpressive.

 

i would just want it to fix up bc its more of a classic now

 

The 85 should have the 2.3l Turbo model in it. I have one and it has good power and a lot of torque, will pull anything, runs out good.

 

i would trade the wife for a diesel ranger.... diesel period. been looking at some of the volvo and cummins engines we have around school and they all would fit nicely in place of my 4L.

 

4bt cummins would be sick!

 

the cummins terror ranger has a 4bt in it, and theres a black one on youtube with a 5.9!!

 

those 4bt's are sick motors, it is actually going to hold a few world records in a couple months...

 

i would give my left ball for one of those diesel rangers. they are hard to find

 

yea tell me about it ^^^
