well when i hook the battery up to the charger and try to start it while the charger is in the jump position it still doesnt turn over =/ i dont know what it is unless the solenoid is bad.

Tried cleaning your battery cables and terminals?

Also I would try leaving it on the charger for a couple hours without trying to start it. If it's drained to the point that it won't turn over you're not doing any good by trying to start it right away with the jump feature. Gotta give it some time to build up a charge.

As for the stalling problem, check your fuel filter and make sure your carb isn't full of crap

i tried starting it today, i got it to roll over, you guys were right about the battery being dead tomorrow i will check out the carb/filter i have a spare fuel filter laying around somewhere still in the box, the only problem is finding it

my stepdad bought me a set of Rancho shocks for the rear end, we pulled the stockers off and put the new ones on today, we also took the 2 BFGoodrich A/Ts off and put my 31" tracker 2's on. he wants to buy this guy's (i think)89' or 90' ranger reg cab across the street for 1,500, ill get pix up if he buys it

 

[87Rangerdude]

good news, he bought the truck, and it looks very solid. its a 89' 2.3L 5 speed standard.

i changed the fuel filter, swapped rubber fuel line for copper tubing, mounted the fuel tank with steel straps. now i need to find either a tail light assembly or a trailer light kit, i dont have the hookups for the brake/running lights.

 

[87Rangerdude]

anyone know of a decent trailer light kit that i could buy online?

You can find a trailer light kit at any Wally World for ~$15.

If there's a Harbor Freight nearby, even less.
