    as an old guy who LOVED working on cars and trucks, I can appreciate and respect all that you and your dad know- I used to LOVE to fix cars like you do... Of course, my cars were 60's cars- much more simple to diagnose and repair. THANKS for the entertaining and informative video.

If You ever have any advice for us, pull up a seat by the wood stove and I’ll make the coffee. Haha

      Sadly, these days, smaller cars and trucks are no longer manufactured, especally regular cab trucks, everything these days has to be 4 door station wagon trucks. Not everybody needs or wants a 4 door station wagon truck when a regular cab truck suites them quite well. And today, with gasoline prices going through the roof, those 4 cylinder engines are fuel efficient and as long as you matain them properly, they will indeed last you a good, long, LONG time. These manufactures of cars and trucks of today need to get back to basics once again, that's what we all nerd to do, get back to basics once again. Personally, I much prefer smaller cars and truck myself to, especally Ford cars and trucks.

    Interesting thing about a lot of fords, the oil pressure "gauge" doesn't have a sending unit. It's just a pressure switch that sends the needle to half scale as long as the pressure is above its threshold. Notice how it just jumps there and doesn't vary with rpm

    • @alekpo2000

    I really love the Rangers with the step side beds. To me that makes for a sexy truck. And for $350.00 and it runs? Hell yeah!!! I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat! I used to own a 99 Ranger 4x4 with the extended cab and step side bed. That little truck was a tank I can tell you! I owned it for 7 years till the 3.0 blew a head gasket. I was going to do the engine work till I looked at the frame and noticed a huge rot hole in the frame so I got rid of it. I'd love to get another one. I miss my truck.

    Great video as usual, Jay. I have a ranger with the duratec 2.3/manual. Bought it with 113k and discovered it burned oil shortly after. It threw a rod at 170k. I put a low mileage engine in it (66k) and this engine has held up much better after putting nearly 100k additional miles on it, but i agree: lima 2.3s are less problematic. Also, the coolant/heater hoses are overcomplicated and in awful locations for a Ranger. Cant wait to see part 2!

    • @ProjectFairmont

      I’m going to try to shampoo the car in the truck. Once vacuumed out it was surprisingly nice! All the floor mats saved it. The seats will need to be pulled and power cleaned but that’s the extent of it I hope. Heck even the headliner is mint!

    A worn but not crusty Ranger is a heckuva find. Especially at that price! If you kept her you could have a matched pair with your MR2. If you still have that. At least it looks "close" to that green.

      @john242ti ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It'd also match his other Ranger, except, of course for the bed, front end, and taillights (other truck is a '95, IIRC)...

      I still have the Mr2, she’s pretty much put up for the winter. Thought about letting it go to have some cash to pump into other endeavors, but I can’t. It was my brothers, and I wouldn’t find another one the way I wanted it for the deal he gave me on it

      @@MXguy95 I regret selling mine years ago. Same color, had the caramel colored vinyl top and leather. Went through 2 sets of tires in 40k just because I liked to go through every twisty part without braking. It' was like an adult go cart. No other car like it. Not fast. Fun as hell though.

    Just recently came across your channel and I am loving it. Compared to most other mechanic style content creators, yours has the best realistic feel and that you are just one of us, a regular dude. Other channels just feel like they are acting like they are part of the majority but really arent. Definitely enjoying your videos. You are a relatable to us working men. Question though, that cleaning solution you use to clean the insides, is it purchased or home made?

    I have a 1992 I have owned since 2000. 247k 2.3, manual. Thing still does not burn oil. But it has rusted out the brake lines twice and it even rusted out the battery cables twice and one of the alternator bolts rusted off, mechanically is bullet proof like you said. Currently one of the shock towers rusted out and the floor pans are now gone. But the parts are sooooooo cheap ! I think I bought all new floor pans, shock towers, and radiator support for about $400. Also...............yes my light is completely gone.
