Dropped tank to remove old gas and replace fuel pump

Looking for a stock Ford radio that would have been installed in a 2000 ford ranger. I think I remember this having a cassette deck

I find it interesting the people who know the most about EV's, are the ones who don't have one and claim they will never own one!! Tesla is the only one doing structural packs at the moment and they just started this. so the majority of EV's on the road have a relatively easy to access battery...

My experience is 5 miles per hour recharge on a 120v outlet or level 1 charger, this is very dependent on manufacturer and how quality their engineering is. I have had 2 different 220v solutions for charging The initial setup was modifying a welding hookup and installing a Nema 14-50 outlet...

No bait here, I'm not a good fisherman. I provided my experience owning an EV for 4 years and described the 3 times I've had body work repairs done. All 3 times the insurance choose 15-20k in body work/paint vs totalling the vehicle.

I should also add I've had 1 EV in 3 separate incidents that required body work. 1 hit and run in a parking lot requiring light body work and paint 1 hit and stay in a parking lot that required new rear bumper and extensive body work and paint to rear quarter panels that are not bolt on...

buy what works for you. I own EV's and ICE. they have their purpose and do that job really well. My commute to work is 100 miles round trip. This only cost me $2.50 in electricity. Our local power company has chargers installed in the business park I work in so I can technically recharge for...

WhistlinDiesel drove a tesla upside down Chillin' with Chet drove a tesla underwater(after sealing and adding alot of weight)

so lets just assume water got in cylinders, and heads warped and cracked and this engine is pretty well toast. Do I have a mechanic rebuild this engine or source a new one? Are remanufactures engine any good or better to rebuild good shape used engine?

I'm not really sure the extent of gasket blowout. Engine ran up until it was parked. Truck lost power after using it for towing and moving so I changed oil and it was the dreaded milkshake oil indicating blown gasket. The truck won't drive far once fixed. I have a commuter vehicle for the 100...

Where to begin? This was my 2nd ever Ranger and the one that really drove my passion for Ford Rangers in general. I've owned 3 after this but it's the only one left. It's a 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0l V6 Trailhead edition in a pretty rare color of Mandarin Gold Metallic. Last parked in 2018 with...
