I'm Ed. I have a 2000 Ranger with the 2.5L engine, 5 spd manual and an 8.8" 3L73 Rear out of a 1998 Ranger in place of the factory 7.5" open rear it originally came with.( Not sure when the swap took place)
It's been beat up a bit by previous owners (the most recent one being my Uncle) and since it needs some work I've been joining Forums like this one trying to learn what I can about the lil truck
before I get too far ahead of myself and just start firing the parts cannon at it.
My forum name "RLRanger" is short for the nickname "Right Lane Ranger" I gave the truck the first time I took it on the Interstate with the AC on and tried to pass another vehicle. That didn't go well and I just eased back into the right lane and stayed there, hence the name.
I've only had it for a year and I'm just starting to work on it a bit. I didn't drive much last year or this year until just recently due to health issues so I haven't gotten much done to it yet.
It's starting to run somewhat better with the little work I've done so far but there's still so much more to do.
I have a lot of questions so I'd like to say Thank You in advance for any future assistance I get here regarding this truck.
