Default Another problem! oh boy, oh boy....

As the title would state, more problems for the little ranger...

O/D light is now blinking constantly, as well as the timing chain guides needing replacement (which btw even the ford dealership thinks I'm nuts..) and it's awaiting an appointment to the body repaired where a deer decided to blind side me...I'm getting kind of fed up with this thing. I didn't have as many problems with my old volvo 240! And it had the 'bad wiring harness' (dry rot, shorts, etc.). Yes I love my ranger, but not today...I'm ready to fix the damn thing and sell it...only has 137k on it...pity...would have love to see it go 200k+...

Just needed to vent! Agh! Frustration! Grr!

rant over...

I felt the same way...I THINK i finally got all the bugs worked out of it, but who knows, probably just wait for the next thing to go wrong...lol...I guess thats just the name of the game when you own a older vehicle.

UPDATE!!!!

Well the transmission is toast. The shop looked at it today and the fluid was pitch black as well as having metal shavings in the pan. Oddly enough, I had the trans fluid changed when I got the truck, about a year and a half ago. I guess they didn't completely flush the system. Thank goodness the warranty covered it! It just payed for itself two times over! Now, if they'll cover the timing chain guides I would be set!
