Cool Another Ranger newbie...

Just took ownership of an 86'Ranger 4x4 5spd 2.9l with 110K. It has a Leer shell and a beefy lumber rack and is in generally decent shape. Just installed the rebuilt trans and a new clutch assy including slave cyl.

It has been stored and not operated for three years, so I replaced fluids as needed, changed air filter/PVC valve, cap and rotor, checked the spark plugs, changed the wiper blades and I venture off tomorrow to the dastardly smaug shop. It ran fine on the drive from storage to home, 120 miles pulling a 5x8 uhaul trailer, scared to check the gas yardage...

I've been lurking and reading posts in re: the 2.9l and have read much to give me pause. I had a 90' Aerostar with a 4.0 v-6 and it ran like the striped a** ape...and could get 20+ mpg on the highway in OD...I'd love to drop that in the Ranger!
