Put a couple gallons of gas in from Wal-Mart/Murphys USA.

Anybody else had issues with the gas from Wal-Mart?
It's bucking, hesitating, and has a loss of power.

Nope. It's staying as close to stock as possible. Not even going to change the stereo out.

It was exactly what I was looking for. It's a 2010 Ranger Sport 4X4. It was a one owner, local truck with 23k miles on it. It is going to be the daily driver from now on and the big truck will be for hauling or any duty I don't feel like putting the ranger through.
You sure are going to like the ranger for daily driving

As much as I love full size trucks, it is pretty refreshing to get in a smaller vehicle and drive through town or park on the street. Enjoy it

Can't wait for the weekend. motor for the f150 is complete. Should be installed on Sunday. then I get to put the PSD down for the 68mm turbo, stage 2 injectors, adrenaline pump, and fuel system. As well as switching over to an automatic.

I tried a Ranger for a daily driver for about a year, and went back to a 94 F150. The fuel economy was only 2-3 mpg better and it was really too small. I don't see why those little trucks can't get 20-25 mpg. Mine got 18 mpg avg. It was kinda fun to have something smaller, but it wasn't my style anyway.

Rangers

I've also had Rangers and have a list of things I don't like about them. For daily driving I have a Crown Vic that gets 22mpg. V8 power!

Just go across the tracks from where we met Tuesday and grab one of the SHP Interceptors. They're well maintained, road miles, no carbon build-up, and will give you 150K trouble free miles. You can drive in and look them over and the prices are on each vehicle.
No civy Crown Vic will give you the pleasure/fun of one of those. My 98 had 103K on it when I got it, sold it with 188K and the next owner hit a deer and crashed it at 230K. They drive and handle great and people are really nice to you in traffic! SHP car lot
I'd love to find a Marauder.
My 98 Police Interceptor, really miss it!

Our demo's:

I took mine out for a spin in the show before it melts. There's just something I like about this plain Jane truck truck!
