new Ranger owner from Portland Oregon

[howlingranger]

hi everyone, I bought my 1995 Ford Ranger XLT earlier this year and I'm enjoying it a lot. it's the manual transmission 2.3L 4x2 model, standard cabin. The previous owner changed doubled the load capacity and added a back camera which is quite nice. The one thing I'm not happy is that he added a bunch of LED lights that make the turn signals signal very fast. Anyways I already used it a bunch of times to move stuff to our rental on the coast.... people are surprised by how much stuff this little truck can carry! I never owned a truck before and I am very happy about this purchase........ Every time I drive it it puts a smile on my face.
I'm planning to take it on my first long trip this weekend... wish me luck!

I'm not the most tech savvy in regards of vehicles, but I do wanna learn more about my Ranger, which is why I joined..... Looking forward to explore these forums!

If you wanna make your turn signals work like normal the easiest way is to change your flasher. Get a led compatible flasher and you're good to go

The quick flashing can be solved with a different flasher relay. Iirc there's different ones for if you only have 2 LED signals or LED signals all around.

What do you mean the previous owner doubled the load capacity? They put heavier duty leaf packs in the rear?
