Question Research Help

Bought a '00 Ranger XLT this weekend, and very excited about releaving ole blue (my 50 F-1) from the 4 season daily driver role. The truck's in good shape and appears to be pretty much stock.

Here's the Q. Is there a place online that I can go and dig up information on the new family member? (ie. punch in the VIN and get a report on original specs)

Most the info I'm looking for is just for future knowledge(ie rear end specs), but it's always nice stuff to have.

Thanks in advance.

Stop in the Ranger forum and browse through the sticky called "technical information". Lots of good stuff in there.

How comprehensive is one of those "Marty" reports?

Unhappy

---For some reason when I punch in my VIN on this site everything comes back unknown, accept the year the truck was made.

Any ideas what that's all about?

Thanks for the other stuff BTW, I'm checking it out as we speak. Jumpin' 50yrs and down a size in truck changes a lot of things, but it's exciting.

Once again, thanks for all the info.
