Interior is out, wow what a mess! Somebody liked to collect rocks? Anywho the truck is all apart now, time to clean it and start putting it back together.
Pretty cool to have manual locks and manual windows with a non slider rear glass.
This will make an excellent truck for somebody, I know I love the manual Ranger with a pushrod 4.0 and M5OD! Makes me want to convert to a manual t case also....have a full manual truck.
We are making a list of parts needed......
Waiting on Rockauto now, I had all the gaskets we need in stock BUT had to order new head bolts and the oil pan gasket.......
Fuel rail studs use a E7 socket FYI, don't twist these are getting harder to find
Previous owner did a crappy repair on a broken intake around the EGR tube. so I had to dig up another 4.0 intake (thanks to the 98 5.0 Ranger the old engine was full of water = parts!)
Some sort of putty?
replacement intake, thank goodness we have one!
interior almost out
WHO KEEPS THEIR RANGER LIKE THIS???
Nasty!
Rock collectors that's who
few new developments here like a new shop puppy
Also picked up a new daily driver:
Been after a good fan cooled 2 up sled for a while now, finally found a good deal! 04 Arctic cat 570!!
