Hello everybody. I'm pretty much brand new, so this is my first post.
ok so heres the low down:
89 ranger
159k ..ish miles
2WD
Manual transmission 5 spd
So my dad bought it about 18 or 20 years ago for $500. im the main driver now its been really good to us. The poor thing has been in 3 collisions (2 of which i was not even in the truck) and the 3rd i was rear ended. so i have a blue cab and a white bed now feelin pretty patriotic.
i've been looking for a new vehicle to buy but i got smart and thought ! "why not by the truck from dad". so he gave it to me today yahoo! anyways, we just had the whole exhaust sys installed brand new. Next is the clutch. Its super hard to get into reverse sometimes and sticks and grinds every once in a while. We just got the new Clutch plate and cover, Clutch disc, Pilot bearing. But what about the Slave cylinder system? because of the (somewhat) high mileage should i just be safe and replace it? everything is pretty much original as far as the clutch goes. and one more question
for the slave cylinder- which size tool should be used to take off the quick disconnecting fitting attached to the hose. (or something like that
)
thank you guys for looking!
