Recently joined due to gettiing my first truck a 93 white ranger xlt extcab shortbed 4.0l 5spd 4x2. Drove a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 previously so a very different platform. Got her for $700 from a dude that used it as a drift truck. Welded diff, unkown lift, positive camber in front, unknown mileage, side exit exhaust and oil covering practically the whole engine bay. On the upside has a fairly straight clean body, 235/65R15, aftermarket HIDS, electric everything, new clutch and the best part is it starts an runs every time. I enjoy it alot and is my current daily driver. Only issues I’m currently having is rough idle that sometimes causes the truck to stall only after being warmed up so I’m assuming intake gaskets allowing unmeasured air in is the culprit even though the codes are not showing any issues. Planning to swap a SOHC motor in to make motor work for myself more firmiliar dealing with camshaft style motors plus the added power. A weld free 8.8 diff is also in the plans. Anything I should watch out for with these rangers or keep an eye on?
