I want a diesel so I'm thinking of trading in my ranger 4x4 4.0 ltr as a down payment for a 2500 dodge diesel 4x4.

Don't be like every other diesel nut in america with a 2500 Dodge, get a Ford or a GM

every truck I owned before the ranger were all dodges and the cummins is hard to beat.

I agree, but every ******* diesel owner has one, or a Super Duty that requires a step ladder and a oxygen mask for entry

Why does it block the word jack to the ass, but I can spell fucker and it won't?

well I"m not into jacking the truck up to were I would need a step ladder to get in! - 16" or 20" wheels is fine.The guy at work has a F250 7.3 about 3' up and gets just 16 mpgs with no mods I dont understand that! - the bottom line on diesels they need to BREATH! for power,mpgs and TQ #s to goes up.

jack a guy at work as an Ford f 250 7.300 cc gas?my good it should drink like a mad man.And Richard it´s right be different and own an Diesel Ford i love mine and i´m going to put a new thread with new pics of my 4 door diesel Ranger mayby today guys

no! the f250 is a 7.3 diesel

i wish i could have a f-250 with the 7.3 diesel engine.how much did it custs an used one with 40.000 miles back there Jack?

I'm a diesel mechanic lol You don't need to tell me

I don't know what his f250 cost I didnt ask him.If I had to guess I'l say about 15k or so.

15k not very expensive but to change to portuguese licence plate it will be more 10 or 15k

So richard being an diesel mechanic and don´t having a diesel truck it´s kind a torture to you?Next tuesday i will post some pics of my diesel engine so you,and other members,can tell me what do you think

Lol you got it Pedro! I want one, but I just can't justify a big diesel pickup like we can get here. If GM, Ford, or Dodge had continued with plans for a half ton diesel engine line, I'd have bought one. Or even better, like the rest of the world, BRING THE US A DAMN DIESEL RANGER!!! I also have a GMC Sonoma (Chevy S10, Isuzu Hombre, and what ever else they call them through out the world or brand) that I'd love in a diesel, you can get those in Brazil and I know in the South Pacific, I just want one here!

but for me brasil it´s to far to get a big truck and i´m very pleased with mine.I have to change the plugs of mine because when it starts my ranger for or 5 seconds has a irregular working noise and then it´s everything ok for the day. being mine with 176.000 kms i think it´s time to change them what do you think Richard?
Do you wan´t to see my diesel engine want´you?

I'd say so! Change your glow plugs out for sure, also check, since I don't know your diesel at all, and make sure that if it has a grid heater that it is working properly as well. You also may want to go ahead and service the truck entirely, do the filters and fluids.

well my truck makes all the services in Ford and next time i go there it´s time to change gear box and transmission fluids.
Ithink that the problem perhaps isn´t in the plug but in a injector cause it starts working imediatly but in a irregular way i put a product to clean the injectors in the diesel tank and i´m going to wait to see if it works.
i`ll keep you informed
