Well my name is Michael and I live in Fresno, Ca. I got my first 1989 ford bronco when I was 15 and got it for 800 and drive it until I sold it for $2500. After that i bought a 1993 ford ranger extended cab 4x4 with the 4.0 and a4ld. Great truck but wanted a fullsize again, because I was missing the bronco. I traded it for a 1991 F250 4x4 which ran great but got 9.7 mpg so i decided it would be smart if i got something more fuel efficient. Now i traded it for a 1993 ranger splash edition 4x4 with the 4.0 and m5odr1. I love that truck. Its got 215xxx and tge guy rebuilt the top end at 158xxx. It runs great with the exception of high idle but I'm working on that. It also sweats a little bit of horsepower at the front crank seal and oil pan gasket. So far i feel like both rangers I've owned have been very reliable and good little trucks, but like every old truck, have thier problems And that is why I'm here. Hope to learn alot here.

Welcome, good looking Ranger, I like the hood scoop.

I'm also loving that matte finish, not to mention that grill! Welcome to TRS

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. It was the red splash color but due to extreme fading, the previous owner used his auto body experience and gave it a decent paint job.

Late to the part, but nice truck! Looks mean.
