    As I'm typing this, my 2008 Ranger is 60 miles from hitting the 200,000 mile mark and I bought my Ranger new back in 2008. I have been good about keeping the oil changed every 4,000 to 5,000 miles and was wondering how long does the duratec 2.3L last if it is well maintained?

    Back up lights

    I don't know if this is the right section to put this in. I have been having an issue with my reverse lights not coming on and when they do, it is once in a while. I checked the fuse and it's good and put new bulbs in and still having an issue. So I am thinking it's the back up switch as...

    Is my clutch going out?

    During the last few days when I'm driving, I've been fighting with the transmission to put it in gear and it's with every gear. The clutch fluid reservoir is full and I'm pushing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. I did change the transmission fluid about two years ago with Mercon V fluid.
