My idea of a Shelby Ranger if there would have been one.


I'd switch it out unless you have a better one to put in Bad Boy!!

I've got a Kenwood CD deck coming from Andres. It'll work for what I need. The JVC one isn't 100% what I wanted anyways, the newer version has a rear USB port so I may save up some scratch and get that one. Then mount a portable HD in the truck for dedicated tunes. Beside it will be way easier to sell the 98 with a good deck. I'm into the stereo in my 93 for exactly $0. Andres tossed the Kenny my way as part of a deal we had, I got a free 8" Ford OEM sub from my bosses truck, free set of Sony Explod speakers from thatbluecar's Eagle, and a free Alpine amp & wiring from a good old friend. Not too bad I'd say:headbang:

Holy crap!! You did damn good on that deal!! Awesome idea in the dedicated HD.. I like the JVC for the most part. It isn't what I wanted but it woll do.. I wanted one the has a 7" screen and DVD but not enough cash for one so I settled. but having it match the dash lights I do like that about the JVC.

you need to change the light in the Tach, it doesn't look right with all the others.


but still, that is one sweet looking ride.

That looks like the same stereo I had. Worked nice, but I made up my mind it's staying in the 98 for ease of sale.
 
you should change the color of your heater controls to match it's pretty easy to do and nearly any auto parts store sells the bulbs i did the same in my old 85 ranger and used a white led so that when it shined through the nasty green it came out a nice blue that would match those purty gauges ya got in there... just a suggestion lol

Cool Thank you for the information!! White LEDs are on my parts list!!

I don't blame you there... I like it alot better than I thought I would... the only downside I see is having to go through all the songs to get to one you want to hear on the IPOD... Unless I am missing something...
 
The ole girl seemes to be sucking down a ton of fuel... There is a code 245 in the ECM.
Something about the VSS. Anyone know if that would cause it to suck up more fuel??
I replaced it but something else is causing the code or I got another bad sensor.. (Remember back I got a bad 02 out of the box new)

I'd recommend a blue L.E.D.


They filter the green and other colors even better and just generally lead to a better blended color scheme.


Here's what I'm talking about.
