1984 Ford Ranger review from North America
"One Tough Little Ranger"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the truck it had a tired engine in it, and would max out at 45 mph. After one day in my school's parking lot of revving the engine, it just quit. I then had another 2.3L put back in the truck from a Mustang.
Other things replaced:
Fuel Pump
Valve cover gasket
Muffler.
General comments?
I loved this truck, it was a tough little truck. It got me around with good fuel mileage. I used to drive it back and forth to Pennsylvania from VA all the time.
