So I bought this 1993 Ranger 2wd 4.0 v6, got the truck for $750 under the impression it only had a blown head gasket. Tore into to replace the head gasket and noticed the number 5 cylinder got really hot cleaned away some of the crud and found a cracked piston and cracked cylinder wall... So I got a 94 explorer engine from a junkyard for $400 got that all cleaned up and swapped in and now she is running like a champ. As far as pre runner stuff goes it has flared stock bedsides, some fabtech springs up front (seem OK) and that's about it... Never had a pre runner with beams.. Not quite sure why beam long travel parts seem to be just as expensive as long travel IFS?
