Well I am hearing the dreaded timing chain slap every now and again. I'm looking into another motor to rebuild and have once this one goes. I need the truck to make it to spring then I'll drive my duramax and fix the ranger up

Re: The "what do you hate about your Ranger today" thread
I hate my clutch. I hate my oil leak. I hate my bed. I hate my front suspension. I hate my headliner. I hate my damn radio.  
Beauty shot next to the damaged 2500..…

Re: The "what do you hate about your Ranger today" thread
I hate how my truck is still in the shop. Been without it for a couple weeks. Also sucks knowing that if I had my own welding rig, I could've done all the work myself

Re: The "what do you hate about your Ranger today" thread
I hate that I drove it 50 miles to get home the day I bought it and the next morning I got the dreaded flashing theft light.

Are you talking about the red flashing PATS light in the gauge cluster? It's supposed flash. 
Owners manual?

Mine is pretty quiet inside the cab. As long as I don't have a girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat.
