What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

[romcjr]

Figure blue book minus a couple grand for a crate motor plus a couple grand to pay someone to swap and then take a little more off just for the PITA of it... if it runs and drives well enough to know the trans is any good and that it goes down the road ok.

The engine being bad will scare many away.

Sold it for $2500 . Don't think I could have done much better than that . Thanks for the help .

Number one son has dibs. Daughter lives in an apartment smaller than the F250 in NYC, but her vet husband is now interested in the Missing Linc if they can afford the parking.

But as I get older and grayer, that F250 will be the last I drive. I already have the little stool on a string to get in and out (Redhead thinks I got it for her ).

Figures

That is pretty much the exact truck I have wanted for awhile and almost bought one instead of my F-150 back however many years that’s been now, but the truck needed glow plugs and tires and would have been stretching my budget so I passed on it for the F-150 thinking it would cost me less to fix. Good laugh that, it cost me a couple grand in the first year or so.

Im still thinking you may have a splash of water in a tire. Rubber isn’t waterproof contrary to popular belief. If you have water in your tire, it will settle on the bottom. But when you start driving and the tire heats up, the water will be driven off that one spot. Hence, vibration when you start out, that goes away after you drive a little while.

Why don’t you try moving the tires around one by one and see if the vibration changes or moves with a tire. Cheap way to prove me wrong, which a lot of people want to do!!!

Well, the vibration should have been worse first thing because at 19*, the water would be frozen. Locking the hubs should have zero effect on that. Had no real vibration until I rotated tires, then I found the bad wheel bearings on the right front and replaced. Vibration has randomly come and gone since

I finally got around to installing the replacement seat covers @PetroleumJunkie412 sent me several months ago. It was only slightly more difficult than I had expected. Not all that bad though.
Before:

After:

@PetroleumJunkie412 knows how to pack stuff.

Only problem is I left it all vacuum packed like that for several months so the cushions are a little shrunken after being like that for so long. Maybe they'll fill out and fluff back up over time. If not they're not that bad as they are.

Thanks again PJ.

I’m thinking of starting a fan club for @ericbphoto. How many of each of these would you guys want?

 

[ericbphoto]

Everybody needs a full set of all of those.

Racist duck thing?

 

[Dirtman]

The thing that talks like an idiot I dunno its name. Its suppose to be racist cause it talks like a slave or something?

It looks like a duck with ears?
