Hey guys, have a look at this thread I started in the Ranger forum. I need to know very quick what you guys think. Thanks. click here

 

I think it will be a good truck to run around in and keep the miles off your PSD.Most of the time if an older/retired person has a vehicle it has been well maintained and not driven very hard.I beleive the price is pretty close.

 

Looks like the deal will be final at 4:00 this afternoon. Now I don't need to worry about having my truck down and not have something to drive.

 

I need a spare as well.Looking for a 1967 Ford 4x4 lwb truck like my Grandpa had with the floor shft/granny

 

LOL, I did want something with better MPG. I think we all need 2 Ford trucks.

 

LOL -- I agree, Rick. Let's see... I've had an 84 Mustang GT Conv (swapped a 351W into that bad boy), my roomie drove an 88 Ranger Long bed, we both had 92 Ranger work trucks, then I had an 87 V6 BroncoII, 2000 Ranger, and now my PSD. I have owned nothing but Fords for all my adult life, and I don't regret it one bit. Going back further, my Grandfather had two Rancheros (my younger brother got the last one). Then my bro had a couple F150s, a V10 F250, Ranger, F150 SuperCrew, and now a SporTrac. We converted my folks from GM to Ford. They had a V8 Explorer Limited that my Dad wrecked when someone pulled right in front of him. That was a SWEET truck!! 5.0L Mustang motor in it! Now they have a Navigator. So I guess you could say we've owned our fair share of Ford trucks -- I can honestly say none of us have regretted it one bit!

 

Good Deal Rick..Hope it works out for ya!!

 

Thanks Pat. I really wasn't looking for a truck, but this thing was in such good shape, my wife told me to get it. . So I have the money sitting here and waiting for 4:00 to do the paper work. In fact, the guy that has the truck called me a few mins ago to make sure I wanted it. He said if I don't he has another guy that wants it. He comes in the store all the time, so I know he will not sell it out from under me. The next store from me is 25 miles away, so I am sure he is thinking about that.

 

Yeah, that could most certainly be an issue if he sells it on you. But boy I bet the revenge would be fun.

 

good deal Rick, i have a 01 ranger with 128,00. that i bought for doing side work and when fuel was 5.00 a gallon the ranger got driven a lot. the other good thing is that if i need to work on the F350 no big deal just drive the ranger

 

Yep.

That is the main reason I'm buying it.

 

Rick doesnt sound like you can go wrong to me either... Mine has 128k on it and still ticking and shes a 03'. Plus the fact like you said you have something if you wanna take the BIG truck down for a few then you still have a way around..... I love mine and havent had to do anything except fluid changes and a battery which lasted 6.5 years.....

 

Cool deal Ron. I will look under the hood tonight and see where I will put the 6637.

 

Good let me know too so I can be cool too bet that lil 6 cyl of mine would scream

 

We could build a hood scoop. That filter is almost half as big as the engine.
