Re: 2000 Ranger XLT 77k, 3.0, auto, 4x4, 4 door, stepside, rebuilt salvage

Price is negotiable of course. I've got too many projects and I don't need it sitting around the driveway.

The engine bay isn't that dirty...it's an engine bay! lol. I didn't detail it like my Crossfire's.

Price is hard to pin down considering the low miles and all the maintenance I did, but the...

Re: Door Ajar light (But it's NOT the switch)

yea, I'm guessing the PO didn't take too much care in maintaining it. I love my new Focus, so I have nothing against FORD...just this one has been a pain. The interior is in nice shape at least and...

Re: Door Ajar light (But it's NOT the switch)

I hate the thing b/c every time I fix one thing something else immediately goes wrong and in Ford's infinite design wisdom, nothing is ever easy to fix. I've done the oil pan (drop most of the front...

Chrome Rear Bumper for Stepside bed

Hi,

Looking for a chrome rear bumper for a step side bed, mine has rusted off the brackets. Also, if someone has a good tailgate for a step side I'd be interesting in that too.

I'll pick it...

Re: Ford work instructions to replace oil pan 3.0 4x4

I believe so. The work instructions say to unbolt the diff and drop it for a few inches clearance. A few inches is plenty in the front, the problem you run into is in the back if you try to leave the...

Re: Noobie from Cleveland Ohio

Progress!

The new pan is finally in and most everything is back together. Only time will tell if it leaks. I spent the extra money on a metal reinforced gasket so hopefully that'll help too.
