I'm fairly new here, the forum title says "NOT a help forum" yet most posts seem to be tech questions .

My question is : what link should I use for my bons stock 2001 2.5 liter 4 cylinder 5 speed base model Ranger ? .

I bought it as a shop/work truck and have been up fixing the usual time/mileage things, this rig is in really good shape only having 117,000 miles when I nought it, I have questions about repairs and service, I have not yet found a F.S.M. , Clymer's, H.B.O.L. [=:cool: ] yet and want to go to the forum where I'll get replies instead of wasting the time of the Hot Rodders .

TIA,

THANX ! .

Is there a link to the general forums ? (was it this forum ?) ~ I'm old and not very computer proficient .

As far as the bed full of Cactus' , I was gifted all thos and every one in a large Terra Cotta pot no less, I love Cactus and Succulents, my park way is hard pack and won't grow grass / flowers plus I live in the Ghetto so I use these to keep people away from my property....

Just go to the link above and scroll through all the available sections. Some are for specific questions like automatic transmission problems, or wheel and tire questions, and some are more for broad topics like the general section. Just read the title and description and see if it fits your needs for the topic/question you plan to post. If you are still confused just post in the General section and either one of the forum moderators will either help you by moving it to an appropriate place, or usually just let it stay there. You'll get help and answers no matter what.

I grow plants that keep people away.

Permanently.
