Problems to expect??
I am getting a '95 Ranger. 4 cyl. not sure if it's the 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual transmission. Are there any common problems I should expect to see after I get it? Other than normal problems from high mileage...

The rear leaf spring shackle brackets are prone to failure.

If it's a 5 speed manual the rubber shift rail plugs have been known to leak. The blend door on the hvac system can break keeping the heat in the full heat position .
