Change it? I just add a little when it gets low like adding air to the tires. You dont change the air in your tires too do you?You know you’re supposed to change the oil right?
They had 2.0, 2.3, and 2.9 options that year....id bet it wasn't the 2.3.....u have 8 sparkplug wires?It was an 87 Ranger I bought new.
The 2.3 or the 3.0? (4cylinder or 6?) I hated my old ranger with that 2.3 engine, never had issues like you did but it wasn’t my favorite engine lol it was like an over bored 2.0 and had like 90 hpIt was an 87 Ranger I bought new.
I dont remember I just know I was really excited that it finally seemed fixed and then the bear. When it got out of the shop that time I literally drove it straight to the dealer and traded it in.They had 2.0, 2.3, and 2.9 options that year....id bet it wasn't the 2.3.....u have 8 sparkplug wires?
How did the bear do?I dont remember I just know I was really excited that it finally seemed fixed and then the bear. When it got out of the shop that time I literally drove it straight to the dealer and traded it in.
He left. It happened on a built up road going through a refuge, Sides of the road were grown up in johnson grass. We went back up the road and found where the bear went down the side of the road after impact, no bear at the bottom.How did the bear do?
I bet he told his buddies to never mess with a Ford again too

I have ~230k on my 2012 3.5 eco. I plan to easily get another 100k or more out of it.True story, I have owned exactly one ford truck. In 42k miles I had to replace a piston, 3 cam shafts and some other engine stuff I dont remember. Leaving the lake pulling the boat one evening, shifted into 5th and when I let go of the shifter it fell over in the passenger side floorboard. About 3 months after finally getting it where it would stay running, a 300-350# black bear tried to run across the road in front of me about 4am. Hit him flush doing between 55-60. Kilt the truck, we never did find the bear. Havent since and dont plan to ever again own a freakin ford.
True lol to be clear we all know both Subaru and Tacoma will outlast all other major trucks, but again.. talking about trucks lolHey it could be worse....he could have said Subaru
