Funny you mention that. My Dad, being the great guy he is, gave me his old '89 BII after we put in a new Flywheel. I was on leave from Texas and had to drive it back from Illinois and I was experiencing the exact same thing. For me it just wouldn't downshift; it would lug and then finally pop into a lower gear, if it didn't, it would die. While it was running warm I checked the fluid levels because sometimes that will be the cause, but it was ok. If I find out what's wrong with it I'll let you know.

I know this'll prolly sound dumb, but did u check the air filter? My truck had a VERY rough idle when I got it, and if I let it sit there at idle it would eventually die. I checked the filter, and it was clogged. I replaced it, hasn't done it since.

have you even checked your oil? I just started getting water into the oil, and when I was driving it to get the oil changed (to see if it would continue getting water in it) it would run rough as hell at a stop and the truck would shake, but it never got to the point of dying. The only other thing I could think of is the cam (considering racing cams tend to die, and I'm wondering if your cam could be worn, but I dunno, I doubt it though). I can't tell you any more else because most things about engines I know I'm a novice.

With the truck idleing in park/neutral pull the connector off, the truck should die you drop idle speed big time. Also running a KEOR test would be a good idea, the procedure should be in the tech info post, if its not there I know I have it in the one on our Ranger forum.
