Re: Should i get a Ranger?

The ranger is fine for what it is. I'm 6'3" 275 lbs and mine is a bit snug especially since it's a 5-speed manual. Mine is a 1995 single cab splash, and while nowhere close to the comfort of the 2004...

Re: 2000 Ford Ranger 4 cylinder Runs Rough at 50 MPH

I see you have changed out a whole bunch of parts and still have the same issue, I dont see any mention of changing the fuel filter, or whether or not you have added "dry gas" to the gas tank....

Re: Replacing Engine mounts.

You may need to slightly lift the block in order to replace the motor mount but not always. A 2 ton jack is more then enough to make this slight movement.

Re: What oil do you recommend?

I agree with the not going 25,000 miles without an oil change. too much, i could possibly see 7,000 but even that is a push!

Re: 2.3 issues!

The catalytic converter can certainly cause the issue you are talking about if it is clogged.

Re: 13-16 mpg. not sure whats cuasing it.

Another possiblity is the thermastat is stuck open and constantly running coolant through the engine, this will lower fuel efficiency. would definitely recommend a full tune up, and fluid change.

Re: '86 Ranger 2.3 Accident...what's her worth?

Also glad you are ok. Can also get an idea from Kelly blue book at kbb.com, this will be an estimate more or less to gauge the value.
