Hi, new here, not to forums- my username is carried over from explorerforum.com.
I recently bought a 1993 Ranger Splash, 3.0 5 speed. It only has 45,000 original miles. It is my DD as my 01 Mountaineer has grown into an offroading gas hogging vehicle.
My plans are to make the Ranger be as fuel efficient and usable as possible, meaning no extreme modifications or lowering. I still want to be able to tow and haul stuff, it is a truck after all.
I just did a "tune up" - spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, oil change. I'm planning on cleaning the throttle body and any other intake parts that look dirty.
Plans for now are
Underdrive pulley kit
electric fan
My last tank of gas I got 22 MPG bone stock. I'm shooting for mid to upper 20's.
Anyone have any suggestions on what else to do?
