    First time I watched your channel, not knowing about your daughter, I have three and I can only imagine what you going through, I do pray that our Lord comfort you and that you know your daughter is in a better place, no more pain no more sorrow no more worry, praying the Lord bless you.

    Those older Ford Rangers are well built! I have a 2008 with the 4.0 Litre V6. It's still running well with 215,000 miles. When I have one of those days and I get frustrated I walk away from the project, sometimes for a few minutes, other times for a day or two, until I am ready to return. Playing some of my favorite music helps when I am tackling a project. Thinking of you and your family, Ed.

    Great job on that radiator, and thanks for bringing us along!
    We know well what repairs are required on old trucks, and we're rooting for you. :)

    Great job on the radiator swap. I agree those magnetic dishes are great, we have loads of them. That was a good idea to walk away when things are not going well.

    👍Nice video Ed. That Ranger sure looks to be in really good shape, didn't see any rust in the footage you had here, very nice. Can't beat those old trucks. Wish you were closer, I would come over and undercoat it for you with Wool Wax (Lanolin Based undercoating), to keep it from rusting out.
    You and your family continue to be in our prayers. Take Care🙏

    Sometimes the best therapy is going out and trying to tinker on something.

    When you make content, we watch and enjoy. You are not forcing any of us to watch. There are going to be good days and less good days. Take them as they come, with strength and good humor.

    Good to see you carrying on Ed. Productive work can be a great distraction from accepting a new normal that you didn't ask for. Thanks for continuing to put out content. Always reserve the right to realize that, "It's totally okay to not be okay today."

    Two cracked coolant tanks..look out for a blown head gasket. Observe flow in radiator while engine is running. Good luck.

    Nice job Ed. My boss told me if you get frustrated take a walk. Don't take it out on the machine. Come back with a clear head. I am not going to tell you that you will be fine because you will always have good and bad days. My nephew killed himself about 10 years ago on my birthday which is in about 3 weeks. Since then I don't celebrate my birthday anymore. It's not the same but the pain is. He was 16 y.o. have a good week.

    If it is indeed the cluster causing that oil pressure gauge issue, they're easy to swap and interchangeable with quite a few years, along with the Explorer and its variants of the same era. If you get a cluster out of an automatic you can easily swap the blanking panel over from your manual cluster.

    Ed even some jobs are tough no matter your mood. I’ve never lost a child but I have lost a grandchild and that was almost unbearable. I find comfort in talking to God and try to stay busy. Time helps with the healing. Prayers for you and your family, God Bless

    10:00 mark.....Sometimes it is best to WALK AWAY for a bit, just like you did. It is surprising how things can fall into place after a brief respite.

    If that’s a bad mood…we gotta hang out….you need to see what a bad mood is! 🤣🤣
    I loved my old Ranger. They’re fun little trucks to work on. If my framed hadn’t cracked, I’d still be running it.
    Anyway, Ed…you talk about your daughter anytime you want!
    If I ever lost one of my girls…..I’d be talking about them all the time.
    Does your ranger have an oil pressure sensor? Might need to replace that?
