Just bought yet another one....

It's a 2000 4 door stepside with the 3.0 auto 2wd. It does need a head gasket, but otherwise is in great shape.

Looks pretty clean for 182k, what are your plans for it?

 

[Danger06Ranger]

Fix and resell.

 

[Danger06Ranger]

Got some work done.

Finally got both heads off. Both head gaskets were blown. Hopefully I can just do the head gaskets after I get the heads checked.

Awesome truck dude. I'm actually in the process of fixing up a ranger just like that, and I'm getting paid with a 99 4.0 4x4 ranger! I wish we could just spend rangers instead of this stupid money.

 

[Danger06Ranger]

lol I agree.

Bottom end is cleaned up.

Finally got the heads and intake cleaned.

Everything up the rockers is torqued down except the exhaust. She's coming along smoothly. Hopefully I'll be done tomorrow.

Got a new engine in, now the trans is bad.

Nothing but problems, eeekkk!

Hope you can get it sorted out.

I'm trading a tractor for a trans with 40,000 on it.
