Just found this site today! Hope to get some good info on my truck and how to improve its performance, etc. The truck is a 1997 Ranger XLT with a 2.3L 4-cyl and auto trans. I like this truck but it's performance leaves a lot to be desired, probably because it has almost 190,000 miles!

Hi and welcome to FTE! Be sure to read this to help you around this site: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=300691 There are also State Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.

Sounds like your truck has been used! That's a lot of miles. But, those Rangers can handle it. Be sure to check out the 4 Cylinder and Ranger sections. A great amount of info there.

See ya on the boards!

-Matt
