Hey im new to rts but i currently own a 97 ford ranger xlt. it has about 225000 miles on it and the clutch is going bad..ive went to some mechanics and some have said that it is better to sell than to fix and some have said that it is better to fix than sell seems how the motor still runs strong with no problems..i have also had this much help from family..but one mechanic who is a friend of mine along with a few gear head relatives said to just completely rebuild and have fun with the truck..i use it daily for both my daily driver along with some off roading on some trails and pretty nasty back woods roads but nothing too radical. i was thinking of a light power 5.0 swap while swapping the rear 7.5 to an 8.8 but am not sure..i want to keep the truck cause i have yet to find anything else that i like other than my old camaro that i used to own and would like to keep to the rangers ...any advice is greatly appreciated..
