Hey guys,
New here from Wa state. I just picked up a 94 Ford Ranger ext cab 4.0 truck the other day. She's in pretty good shape. Only 59K miles on it. My very first truck was a 90 Ranger 2.3. Good little truck. Sold it when I bought my diesel. Diesel is getting too expensive for my commute, so I parked it and bought this truck. I've always wanted one of these! Has a couple things I need to figure out. Like what is normal oil pressure for these trucks? My gauge sits in the "O" of normal. Seems kinda low. Also, my coolant gauge fluctuates a little bit. It was the worst on my drive into work today. It went up to about mid range, then quickly dropped below the "n" and fluctuates the N and O for most of my commute. Will some times drop below the N when I stop. Probably going to throw a thermostat and fresh coolant at it this weekend. Anyways, here's a pic of it if it'll show up. Look forward to learning a lot here.
