Hi folks,
Bought a one owner 96 ranger auto 3.0 with 86000 miles a couple months ago, running perfectly smooth if a bit gutless, and drove it 3500 miles from Alaska to the Mojave desert. In the Idaho high country filled it up with 85 probably the for the first time in its life, and a couple hours later check engine light came on. Oxygen sensor. Read that gas in Canada can be trash, and also this truck spent its whole life in Alaska where I believe the gas does not have ethanol. Any thoughts?
Also, the transmission has started acting up. Doesn't shift smooth if I give it much gas, and revs up (slips?) Between 2nd and third. Help please! Not mechanically inclined. Had a full service oil change before driving down. Looking at the trans fluid it appears a tad high.
Thanks!
