Re: Need help replacing a timing belt on a 1993 ford ranger

Glad to help.

Re: Ford installed bed liner

The benefit to drop-in liners is impact resistance. A bed w/ as spray-in liner will dent just as easily as one with no liner. The drawbacks to drop-ins are the potential moisture trapping, slick...

Re: GM's Colorado Vs. Ranger....

My biggest problem with the Colorado/Canyon is their price vs. size (and lack of fuel economy). I bought a new fullsize truck ('08 Dodge Ram QCSB) for $3,000 less than the equivalent Colorado. The...
