what it takes to keep your ranger on the road

[olranger]

Lets see or hear what you have done to your rangers or bronco's to keep them rolling down the road. Nothing fancy just rolling.
Here's mine, new brakes all around, shocks around, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, new bed bolts, fuel pressure regulator, valve cover gaskets, upper radiator hose, new leaf springs, leaf spring hangers, soon upper shock mount, and soon the shifters due to elec 4x4 not working, and soon ball joints. I think that is it.

new heads, gaskets, rockers, push rods, tune up, front shocks, wheels & tires, coil springs, filler neck, passenger side slip yoke and axle shaft assembly up front, right rear drum piston, rear brake lines, new shoes, rear bleaders, complete front brake overhaul, soon to be new bed(stupid plastic liner rotted beach ball size holes where my front bed mounts should be), brand new exhaust except for the cat which is still original, wheel bearings, dif/ axle seals, new oil all around, new rear dif cover, snazzy paint job on the engine, polished head lights, new battery cables...... i think thats it. and i think i got you beat. ha. sad part is i've owned this truck since the fall of '10 and had to do most of this just so i could get it registered before spring.

all mine NEEDED was a tune up, and fixing a wire issue to a shift solenoid....
and then basic stuff; tune ups, oil changes, fuel filter, brakes, tires after a little(it set up for awhile before i got it), and then fixing those dang ole leaks!! lol

^^^ dont forget painting it, doin a 5.0 swap, new rims, ect. lmao

Mine isn't on on the road yet due to a previous owner whose vocabulary didn't include the words "routine maintenance". But so far I rebuilt idler pulley, I rebuilt the alternator, put spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires, and a fuel filter. I had to do a little tach wiring because the tach on it was 'ghetto'. The rear axle (7.5) is bad too and I am in the process of swapping an 8.8 in its place with a locker.

 

[olranger]

damn i thought i had issues, well its good to see people fixing them up instead of selling them

 

[bobbywalter]

I'm pretty sure I've replaced every component on my truck at least once.
