Just bought my first ranger. 1988 XLT club cab, long box, duel tank, 2.9, 1,8000. Miles. Soft touch 4x4, electric lumbar. I'm 2nd owner and this thing has never been off rd or had anything hauled in it. Crazzy clean. Have many many questions hope everyone can help me out. Stay tuned. And thanks

Hi! Welcome to TRS.

Take good care of it. Don’t let the engine overheat. 2.9’s are sensitive to that. If it has never been off-road, you may have a little work getting it to shift the transfer case. There are some electrical contacts in the gearbox of the shift motor. Those contacts get dirty or corroded if not cycled regularly. So, if it works, make sure you cycle it at least monthly. If it doesn’t work, we’ll get you through the process of fixing it. Do not drive on dry hard surfaces in 4wd. That can break things.

We love pictures of people’s trucks.
