Looking at buying another ranger after 9 years. I found damn near an identical truck to the ranger i had for all those years...
But anyways, its a 85 2wd with a 2.8/5sp, guessing a 3.45 rear. My 87 was a 2.9/5sp with a 3.45, also 2wd.
After searching i couldnt find an answer, but, how much weaker in day to day driving will the 2.8 be next to the 2.9 i had? I know they are down 25hp and 20ftlbs, but i wont be getting passed up hills/off lights by oil burning 3 cylinder metros will i?
