At 90K miles, changed clutch and slave cylinder.
Transmission developed a leak, still can't find the source!
Original radio/cassette player still works, but the lights don't...don't know what station I'm listening to or which way the tape is running, also had to replace the rear speakers.
Front end vibrates a bit when coming to a stop.
At 135K miles, oil pick-up screen got clogged and lost oil pressure.
Windshield leaks on upper drivers side, enough to stain the headliner.
Being a "backyard mechanic", I don't consider any of these faults to be major.
This little truck has been very reliable, from towing my 16' boat, to some mild off-road adventures, to being an everyday driver. It was well worth the 8,000 dollars I paid for it!
On the down side though, the rear end is a bit light in the snow, even in 4-wheel drive, and the seats are uncomfortable on long trips.
About the lights on the radio. Try flicking the casette door a couple of time or inserting a casset several times. This worked for me, I went about two years before I figured it out.
I owned a 1990 Ranger I put a 3inch body lift and an 8inch suspension lift so I could run 36inch super swamper's, all I can say is what a tuff truck I put it through some hard trails and it never let me down. The lights on the radio never worked so what it CD's now. The only problem I really had was the lug nuts coming loose I think it was the tires being so big.
What was done about the Oil pickup screen?
