So I come to all of you as a brand new babe into the big scary world of crap that can go wrong with your "free" '94 Ranger in which NOBODY can give a definitive answer as to why it does what the hell it does. I will find the appropriate place to post that nightmare right after I finish publishing this intro thread. It should be a decent read and I honestly BEG each and every one of you who take the time to read this post to read my next post which I guess I will title, "My gift and my curse".
So I am Steve, and it's a pleasure to meet the acquaintance of each of you all. With that being said, I live in Arizona. More specifically: In the middle of nowhere. Way out here in the land of coyotes, snakes, and record breaking days of high heat are where me and my ungrateful, maddening, & perplexing '94 Ranger 2WD reside. This truck and myself became married one very unassuming afternoon when I got tired my ex's mom's old beat up and broke down Ranger being parked outside my house on 4 flats and a broken will to go on. That's right... I jumped on the phone and called that woman up to ask her when she was going to get the eyesore out of my sight as it had been abandoned 5 months prior and she hadn't looked at the truck since she left it for dead. Long story short: She claimed she was going to call pick-a-part and have them tow it away so she never had to deal with it again. This is when I opted to open my big mouth to let her know that pick-a-part would only offer her $50 for the truck. and offered her $25 and the peace of mind to finally be done with her little extended cab nightmare
This was at least 7 years ago.... I still haven't managed to get this truck driving right. And it's not for lack trying, either. This truck refuses to help me figure out the never-ending laundry list of things that keep it from being a simple "Turn-key" daily beater.
Pleasure is all mine, fellas. Glad to be here.
