some pics of the Ranger..FREEBIE. *DUW*

[Roland69]

needs a little cleaning and pretty much needs an engine...replacing it with another 3.0L or maby a 5.0L H.O. I have like a year and a bit to have it on the road before school for my apprenticeship so I may do a 302 swap but we will see what happens. And I might get the father to help me repaint it black again

Nice, wish i could find something like that. I say just replace the motor and DD it, if you 5.0 swap it you will want to do stuff to it and your mustangs, Moding 2 cars is harder then you think!

looks like a great truck for being free. Im actually looking at trading my car for a ranger on air bags. If you were closer to me id pick that thing up off you.

Get a lift kit for it. Lifted 2wd Rangers look sick when done right.

so when I did a compression test at work cyl's 3 and 6 had no compression and tonight I was looking for something to kill a few minutes time so...

so tonight I was borred so I went to my parents house (where the truck is in the shop)and I took the passenger side valve cover off and seen that #3 cyl exhaust rocker was loose. then I seen the push rod sitting down in the hole so I pulled it out with a magnet (with the rocker still in place) and it was bent probly at a 135 deg angle...then I got loking a little closer and the valve spring is compressed almost all the way so I assume the valve is bent. I didn't pull the other cover off cause it looked like a pain and I was in a hurry. I would think the same thing is going on with cyl #6 cause they both had no compression. now what may have caused this I was leaning towards the timing jumped?. Are they belt or chain. I think i am going to pull the heads off and see what I can do to fix it...or maby buy another 3.0L and maby re gasket it and freshin it up a little.

are the heads off say a 3.0 taurus or any ford/merc FWD 3.0 car the same heads. any help or sugustions are welcome.

I might pull the driverside cover off and see what went wrong there probly the same thing I immagine. But here is cyl #3 exhaust valve pushrod...my new drinking straw

a free truck just screams demolition derby
