not sure what your sayin nice to but thanks anyhow!

One thing I never asked was how the hell does it get around in the snow? Just relized that your truck has two gas tanks.

Has everything but 4wd!!!!!!

That first truck may be a Chevy but I like it. Except for the huge fender gap in the rear.

question 1: slowly
in response to "has everything but 4wd" it also lacks-power locks, windows, working a/c, good running 2.9, and performance in any category. and yes it has 2 tanks but the module thingey quit working so its a tiny tanker. although that is on the list of things to fix.
once its all fixed i think i may sell it. i like rangers but i need something 4x4,auto, and NEW. plus its too nice a truck to rip apart and make a stroker race truck out of. i'll resque a ranger later on for that. this is more a koda like build. get back to decent shape. since i kinda wrecked a lot on it. ill take a pic of the rad soon. haha. long story

Hah, definately not the POS Chev, I hate GM with a passion. I like your truck, its sharp looking.

Your telling me theres such thing as a good running 2.9 liter????? I'm choking on my own spit now from laughing. Just kidding they are great engines.

Why would you want an automatic tranny?

 

[Boggin]

i like it

oh and that ranger looks mean, whats your plans

takin suggestions. i wanna try and get the 2.9 workin perfect again, maybe make some money on it. i only paid 300+200 for a safety, and i could sell now for well over 1000. minumum 1500. so if i throw 1000 bux at it i cant see any potential for loss...

cause standard is nice, but not for me. i like bein able to drink my coffee and drive to work undisturbed.
seriously, i have drivin stick, drank coffee, texted, and tuned my radio all at once. the 5 speed is just one more thing to keep my hands busy. plus, after a long hard day at work the last thing i need is for the drive home to be a chore. sorry for bitching and complaining, (scuse my language) but im ready for an auto. plus, i really want a diesel. and standard heavy trucks blow.

Hopfully your not going to put a A4LD tranny in it. I like shifting my truck, I have total control of everything it does. If your real good you dont have to push the clutch in, ya thats asking for trouble but everybody has their days. One thing that my Ranger needs is a cup holder.

Think I'm going to clean my seats for my truck while they are out of the truck. As for why progress has stopped on my floor boards is because we ran out of welding wire and my dad had someother but its the wrong stuff for what we are doing.

i dont wanna convert my truck to auto. i wanna buy something with an auto. im tired of fixing my truck, i'd much rather be upgrading, and most would agree an a4ld is not an upgrade over a m50. i like my semi-bulletproof tranny. its a champ.

 

[dangerranger83]

Isn't your exploder an auto...if it is drive it for awhile. You have an m50 , I have a TK4 but its been a good tranny to me. If the junkyard had a good m50 then I would have gotten it but since they didn't I ended up getting just a bellhousing and what not.

Got my seats cleaned but you really cant see a diffrence but man do they smell better and feel better. Hopefully they will stay like that for a little while.

I sold my 2.3 bellhousing to a guy that needed it. He wrote that he broke his and I told him I could ship it to him (done that) now I'm just waiting for the check to show up. Anything to keep a Ranger in the road.

 

[jaymegriffiths]

cool. ya my truck had a whiney m50 when i got it, and i swapped it out for one out of an 89, hence the reason why i bought the 89...
