Hey, to all the people with older Rangers (like '96 and older) that stil have the stock motor and trans, how many miles are currently on your motor? I was just wondering how many my motor will take before finally blowing (it currently has a little over 206K).

 

lol... 1993 4cyl 2.3L with 87000 miles

 

haha yeah, this motor has a lot of miles on it (it's a '96). I am surprised it has lasted this long. I haven't had to do any major part replacements on it either.

 

99 with 215,xxx

A buddy of mine has a gen2 with 402,xxx. And that was when his speedo went out.

 

Phil your alive!

 

160,000 on a 2.3 from a 1996 without any repairs

 

funny to see this post, Last night I looked, and it was at exactly 75,000
100% stock 97, 2.3

Im at school now, Ill post a pic later tonight

 

Your engine's life depends on how hard of a life it's lived.

 

my new 87 has 232000 and a spun bearing, most likely because the previous owner let the oil get too low

 

heh, 296K miles and i beat the ever living crap out of this sucker. no engine work, just regular timing belt and waterpump and coolant changes at every 100K miles and oil changes at every 10K miles. still pushes my 31s anywhere i want em to go.

 

ive got 117k on my 1998. and its had 39's on it for the past year and 35's for the prevous 2 years. and its been beat on pretty bad and still running strong.

 

you have a 4-cylinder?

 

I have 56,000(fifty six thousand) on my 1987 2.9 liter
