Re: Ranger is dead

All the above. Try to jump start it and when it's running, disconnect the negative battery cable. If it dies pull the alternator.

Still working on the interior, so it's not even anchored down. Fits tight enough that it hasn't moved yet.

Re: Size of OEM spare in '94 Ranger?

Ford had optional locking mounts around '85 that placed the spare in the bed. On my '86 the spare mounted in the topper out of necessity, it was lowered.

Re: Hard water stains

Straight vinegar. Works on fish tanks, coffee pots, and pc water blocks. Warm it up and use fine steel wool in small circles.

Tank may be wedged in place as well as the fill tube and fuel lines holding it. The fill tube is just a piece of hose that goes between the tank and filler cap.
