Re: Lets see how well you know Rangers...

That is correct. Thats why they are on the bottom edge of the door where the most wind is as you are closing the door. I'm glad I cleaned my screens though. Lot more air goes through that now. I took...

Re: Timing belt replacment + ???

I'm suspecting it has tons of cracks because the serpentine belt was original also, 15 years old but with only 67K miles and was nothing but cracks.

Re: Best oil for the ranger?

Go to the Ford dealer. $30 bucks out the door, no appointment needed and it only takes 20 minutes. All they use is Motorcraft durablend's. I asked them.. they don't put conventional oils in anymore....

Re: Timing belt replacment + ???

I think theres too much stuff around it to take a peek. I'm just betting with the age of the truck and from what I saw with the fan belt, it was cracked all over the place just from age, not mileage....

Re: Gas mileage: OHC 2.3 vs OHC 2.5 vs DOHC 2.3

Wasn't the 2.3L SOHC in the Mustang also? Whatever that last year was 91 I think? Or was that the OHV? I always heard that 4cyl Mustang was junk.

Re: little 2.5 doesn't sound so great...

Its probably not the oil pump, something is plugged up maybe and not getting oil. I hope that has had oil changes through its lifetime. Sludge will cause that.
