HELLO ALL,

I HAVE A 2005 FORD RANGER EDGE 4.0L V6 EXTENDED CAB WITH 248,000 MILES. I LIVE IN EL PASO TEXAS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD I PUSHED MY TRUCK TO THE LIMIT. IT IS MY FIRST VEHICLE AND I LOVE IT,BUT ON 2-6-2014 I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK (WHICH IS A 64 MILE ROUND TRIP DRIVE THAT I HAVE MADE FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS ALL MOST EVERY DAY) AND I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, NOW LET ME BE CLEAR I HAD ELECTRONIC POWER RADIO WAS ON LIGHTS GAUGES EVERYTHING, THE POWER I LOST WAS ALL ENGINE THE GAS PEDAL BECAME LIMP AND DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY THE THE FLOOR BOARD. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CHECKED FUSES GOOD, CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FUEL PUMP WAS PRIMING IT IS AND ITS ONLY A YEAR OLD I REPLACED LAST YEAR AFTER I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK WHICH I WAS TOLD BY FORD AND OTHER MECHANICS THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND IT ENDED UP BEING THE INERTIA SWITCH WHICH I LEARNED ABOUT ON A SITE LIKE THIS. NEW SWITCH TRUCK RUNNING GOOD UNTIL 2-6-2014. TRUCK WILL NOT START HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE HOUSE. A VERY GOOD MECHANIC I KNOW CAME TO HELP ME OUT WE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, THE PLUG WIRES, FUEL FILTER, BATTERY AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT START. IT WANTS TO IT REALLY WANTS TO START. I HAVE GAS I HAVE SPARK NOW I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I THINK IT MIGHT BE TIMING. I HAVE READ THAT THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE HAS FOUR CHAINS NOT ONE CHAIN OR A BELT. CAN SOME ONE HELP ME EXPLAIN TOME WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE BECAUSE I HAVE TALKED TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT 3000.00 TO FIX IT AND I DO NOT RUST THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOPS.
