Re: 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 2.5L new member
LOL close enough to the same as my truck; besides three engines... Most I've gone through in a single vehicle was two *(ran into three feet of water with a CAI and hydrolocked the motor)*
Hope you have better luck with this one! LOL

Re: 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 2.5L new member
Thanx for all the welcomes an this engine is doing good just has bad fuel injectors doesn't stop me from running it tho.
On another note been in two crashes
on the first rear ended a dodge nitro no one was hurt since we were on the light soft hit but ruined the nitros bumper and trunk since I've got the skid plate pipe bumper on my truck
second was gettin off the freeway a Chevy impala cut me off ended up braking my left spindle after goin over the curve on impact and again just pushed the impala out of the way but they drove off with the whole right side of their car crushed
I ended up drivin my truck for about 2 miles home with the broken spindle and all, the brake line had tore aswell so had to do the slowing/stoping with the engine

I've only seen one spindle broken first hand! Takes some force! Glad you still have it on the road!
