You need to get it aligned. Cranking the bars knock the camber way out.

I cranked my dodge when I had it and noticed no difference in ride, had an alignment shortly afterward it took all the weirdness away.

You graft frames on to rangers and make it work in less than 2 days, you can swap a bed in an afternoon, cut frames in half to lift bodies off engines and someone else changes your oil?

it is with great sadness that i bring you this report. Black 06 has a severed rear timing chain. Plans at this point are uncertain. Part of me wants to fix it but part of me wants to move on to another Ranger. Maybe a new one? Maybe a v8 4x4? Maybe sas swapped 4bt powered? Stay tuned to this channel for further reports

pfffft you know what I will say to that
Can you put a 5.0 in it? Any emissions concerns? Some states will allow 302 and some will not, since the last year of the 302 was 2001
A clean 06 with 210 is worth fixing up, the prices for these trucks is way up these days

One of the greatest states for modified crap IMO. Loud, lifted, dropped, tinted, if you haven't done anything to p*** them off they usually don't mess with you.

As i stated earlier i would report on the condition of the black truck. It will live for a few more years. I bought a 96 expo 5.0 to use as a donor. While looking at the expo. I noticed the guy had a parted out fx4 level 2. Engine and trans were gone but the manual tcase was laying on the seat. Bought the expo and tcase fir $500. The expo runs and drives but has no title. As is the case with all cheap cars on facebook market place. So sometime in the near future the black truck will have a 5.0 and recieve a solid axle swap 5" lift and 35's.
