Hello to TVCasualty_dot_com, and Hello to thmlrmg..... welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!!

Both of you seem to be getting plenty of miles and satisfaction out of your Rangers!

 

I have a 92 ranger ext cab 3.0 5-speed with 180,000 miles
still runs great, gets 19-23 mpg. I do need a oil pan, she's
rusted out. So I can't tell for sure on oil usage, but I add
a quart every 1200 miles I think most of it leaks out.

 

I have 126K on my '96 Ranger with the 3.0 engine, 4WD, ext. cab, and automatic. Its on radiator #4 and transmission #2. Everything else is okay except I've had the left front wheel come off twice. I check the lug nuts regularly now.

 

I Have a 95 Ranger Super Cab, It has a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder, and has 244000 kilometers

 

just past 95,000 miles on my 96 Ranger XLT

-PNEW

 

1990 w/ 85,000, very well taken care of.
But I can't semm to get better than 16 mpg
in town driving maybe 17 hwy. Any tips?
If this thing starts giving me trouble I got a 5.0
lined up for her.

 

1999 XLT/77,000 miles and she still runs strong. Only thing I have ever had to replace was a speed sensor.

 

I have a 1992 Super cab ranger and it only has 69,000 original miles. Ii has a v-6 and i love it. There out there, you just have to look for em'.

 

I've got 119,000 on a 97 Ranger XLT 4.0 5 speed automatic. I love it! Gets about 22 highway & 18 in town. Later, Jay

 

My Ranger 03' has 1,200 miles on it so far. (Bought it just over a month ago) My grandfathers Ranger has over 200k on it is the reason I bought my truck. His is a 93 with a 2.3.

 

97 Ranger XL (purchased 11/96) - 100,325 miles, 3.0 liter. Only maintenance has been brakes, tires, serpentine belt and at 90,000 had ball joints and front axle u-joints replaced. Oh yea, also had the float in the gas tank replaced... cured the mis-reading gas gauge that so many Ranger owners complain about. now it is dead-on..... ($4.00 part, but have to drop the gas tank to replace it (or remove the box)

 

I had 245000 on my 88 supercab 4x4 when my son totaled it. I ran great. I also had 145000 on my 92 stx supercab 4x4 and the only probem was my suspension needed to be relaced it was sagging really bad in the front. I put 2" spring spacers on it and it was straight again for a week until they ( spring spacers) just fell apart they were polyurethane. They both were great trucks and I miss them both. I had to trade my for a 89 Bronco, I need more interior room. I wanted to stay with a Ford and a pick up would not have worked. I have 3 kids and 5 dogs and it rains a lot up here on the coast and they dogs were getting too wet in the back and I hate canopies.

Take easy Ranger people

 

I have about 35000 miles on my 1999 3.0

 

I have just over 200,000 miles on by 85 Ranger. (V-6 2.8L) I have replaced the battery, starter, carburator, transmission, drive shaft, and normal tune up stuff (plugs and wires), the distributer cap and the $5 part that is on the back of the distribuater (I can't remember what it is called) but it cost me $16 for the tool. I am currently having a problem with engine starting but I think that it is the negative battery cable since the new starter is not even turning. I am hoping that the cable is just not allowing power to get to the starter.
