I am looking for some input on this 99 ranger that I'm looking to buy, Issue #1- soft brake pedal, #2 speedo only works between 20-50 mph, lower or higher it doesn't work, #3- ABS light on over 70 mph, under it's off.
The owner has replaced the rear brakes, wheel cylinders and lines, Sensor in rear diff. He has front rotors,pads and calipers to go with the deal. His repairs have not affected any of the problems listed above.
The truck seems to drive fine except for the brake pedal. It stops but you need plenty of room. I think all three issues are related but I'm not sure. He has owned the truck for less than a year and I think he has been chasing these issues from the start but he didn't say that, of course he is trying to sell it so he isn't going to be entirely truthful. The truck has the 3.0 and is a 5 spd. I told him that I would get back with him in a couple of days.
Thanks for any help.
