Hello from the ATL metro area

[FlatTop808]

Greetings. Last summer I picked up a 1993 Ranger, 2WD with the 3.0 and manual transmission. 126k miles. It's in pretty good shape, by no means perfect, but it doesn't need to be. It's for carrying things that won't fit in my car and the occasional ride around for funsies, to remember what driving an analog vehicle feel like.

I've lurked on the forum for a while to find info on little fixes, and the truck has been an absolute appliance (and I mean that in the nicest way) until this past weekend when it refused to start. I have a pretty good idea what's wrong but I think I should consult the hive mind before buying parts.

I'll head over to the 3.0 forum to do the write up on the problem. I'm confident the knowledge I need will be found there.

Speaking of ATL, have I not seen @Rick W in the last few days?

Hu? Wha? Oh….

I’ve been cleaning and wrenching to get the Road Ranger ready for Carlisle Nationals. Haven’t been keeping up with my posting and reading.

Welcome @FlatTop808 ! I lived in Stone Mountain when I moved to Atlanta in ‘79 many moons ago, moved up to Dunwoody around 91. Mostly retired now, I tinker with a cosmetically modified 87 and a highly modified 97.

What’s your story? Do you do any of the car stuff around Atlanta? I’ve been trying to make it to caffeine and octane at Town Lake Mall in Kennesaw the first Sunday of every month, but health has had me oft and on the last year or so.
