There are a few things i need to fix...

- Center console needs replaced, armrest is missing and its loose

- Right rear taillight is cracked

- Power door locks don't lock/unlock (they try too, but they just don't seam to do it)

- Vacuum leak (i hear it under the dashboard on the passenger side)


It was taken care of, no rust on the truck at all... bought locally and taken care of, oil changed every 3K miles.

What do you guys think? Im a dark blue twin of Zachs now lol

Brad the door locks are simple to fix and the siloniods are CHEAP i had to get them for mine, both mine where blown and then found out my drive side lock switch was also blown LOL...

let me know when its body lift time lol

ThatGuy 02-21-2009 05:11 AM

I wasn't really sure what it was, but now i know that'll make it easier to fix lol That thing in the door that registers the door closed is broken too (common i guess, my 96 had the same problem) so im gunna have to get that taken care of so i can have a dome light again lol

Can you tell me more about the lock thing. Mine dont work. They locked for a while and didnt unlock. Now they dont do anything.

ThatGuy 02-21-2009 10:10 AM

Its everything i wanted that i didn't get last time i had a ranger, im excited. I love that color... not looking forward to keeping it clean, but love that color lol Like i said it needs a few things fixed, but i can take care of it easily. The only thing ford might have to fix for me is that stupid thing in the door that tells the truck the doors are closed so it can turn dome light off.

Squirt a bunch of WD40 in the latch on the door and open and shut it about 15 times and that should do the trick to get the lights off.

on the 4 doors its the silnoid that goes bad you take off the door panel then take off the door latch you need to disconnect the lock rods from it too. then pull it out.. replace the silonoid, it snaps into place REALLY simple took about 10 min a side..

Trigger01 02-21-2009 10:35 AM

You have any plans for the truck yet?

ThatGuy 02-21-2009 10:41 AM

So far... Clear corners, Tint, Dual Exhaust dumped out behind the rear tires, bigger tires, Possible lift down the road, Explorer overhead console and dimming mirror... thats about it for now lol

4 door dont have those its built into the latch

ThatGuy 02-21-2009 02:49 PM

Well unfortunately this truck fell through... so back to looking again lol Dealer told me one thing when i was there the first time, get down there with everything i was told i needed, and they couldn't do anything. Needless to say, im a lil miffed

Its ok, i got a chance to take a lil better look at the truck, and so did my stepdad... its probably better off this way.

Now i gotta keep looking, will give me time to bank some more money lol
