So i was putting brakes on my friend kyles 98 ranger when i found this on the passenger side :o Yes that is a bolt welded to the uca holding it to the frame ::) We tried to weld the crack up but keep blowing through the frame lol. On top of that moving the rubber brake line half an inch to the left cause the metal line under the truck to start leaking.

98 or 89?
That think looks like a deathtrap.
-
We had one come into work one day with the rear leaf spring shackle mounts rusted off of the frame. It was a death for sure.
Just a rusty pile of fuck.
-
ya its kinda sad really the body is almost perfect on the thing yet the underside is done. His s10 was the opposite the body was toast but the frame and running gear was perfect lol

Just sold my 93 with 58K on the clock last night.
Good by FORD, Hello Isuzu... PIcs to come. Have 3 hhundo or so in the Ranger, Got 2 Gs for it. Picking up a 94 Isuzu Rodeo SPort with V6, NEw clutch, really clean new oversize tires and shit... REALLY dont want to get sticuk in some fucking gay ass winter like last year up here without 4WD...
Id have kept the ranger if it was 4wd... But its Not... The leafspring thing is known about them...
That thikng looks like shit underneath, mine looks (looked) fine

Welcome to Ohio, salt and the reason I don't want to own any more old shit up here. :-\
-
northeast = rust
that sucks. Just sell the truck to some schmuck get something else before it fails again.

ford=fail
Right, thats why there are more mustangs running sub 10 second 1/4 times than any car on the planet.

you know thats a gm right

didnt some of those Isuzus have honda motors in them ??? anyhow the Isuzus seem pretty nice a friend of mine has a 95 trooper with the 3.2 sohc v6. Runs good and has decent power but the valvetrain is noisy as hell. Wonder how those motors would do with boost? They have the gm 60 degree trans pattern and i have a 92 s10 that has a failtastic 2.8 in it that needs some loven.

any car can be built with AFTERMARKET parts to run fast.
Yeah, but stock 351W still eat 700 whp all day long, so take the hater cock out of your ass. There's a lot that's RIGHT with Fords, I'd rather own one than a newer Honda.

None.

Some honda's had isuzu engines, but not the other way around.
Ford has done a lot right. Yes the've built their fair share of shit and then some. But a lot of their trucks are purpose built and very stout from the factory. And +1 to the mustang, they've done a lot right with it too.
-

Really?

Look up "football rod" truck blocks. And yeah, they'll make that power, but stock piston reliability is like a 350 whp GSR's... they last for a while, or not, and then the lands go.

Then you buy $150 worth of forged pistons and some MHG's, turn the boost up and laugh at faggot slow literbikes as you pass them with the entire cast of 90210 in your car.

I didn't know you could be picky about what you drive on your budget, Michael.

I never bought tires, Michael. That was the problem.

cars that break down a lot (fords) cost more to own cause you are always fixing something.
Sir, here you suggest that fords are unreliable. The question I pose to you is, what exactly is considered reliable in this day and age? They dont make 92-95 civics anymore...

Fixed. I hate fords because they are designed so fucking retarded, not that GM's are designed much better, but they are designed a bit better. the only ford i'd own is a 03-04 cobra. Fuck everything else
-
I like the early/mid 90's F series fords. We've got a 93' F150 with ~190K on the odometer. Truck is hauling something whenever it's running, gets about 10K a year put on it, and it never complains. Everything int he fucker is stock, never done shit to it. A/C is ford cold, 351 pulls good. Hasn't had an oil change in years, but it doesn't complain. Ford ain't got a conscious. Just runs.
-
I've been beating the shit out of '80's fords from the beginning and probably will for the next 10 years. I've sunk a total of probably less than $400 (including purchase) in my dd '83 ranger in the last two years.

The question I pose Michael is why the fuck did he buy a Ford Falcon if he hates them so much?

heres some pics from underneath lol this frame is done for. I told him to ether look for another frame or another truck that needs a motor or trans haha.

it's a fairlane old man, i didn't buy it my wife did. she bought it cause she liked the way it looked.
now she wants to sell it cause it's a pos
robb: i'm not talking about new cars. baldnog questioned my budget. i'd rather buy a ef for $1000 and drive the shit out of it till it dies then spend $800 on a ford escort and drive the shit out of it till it dies.
even if they last just as long. however if something goes wrong with the ef i have a hookup on parts, usually free parts. if something goes wrong with the escort, i gotta pay full price for parts.
So basically, by saying ford=fail, what you actually meant was your parts hookup=fail.
Gottcha.

gonna start putting the bigger grocery stores out of business soon.
hahahahahahahah what???
you're dumber than you are poor. look out safeway/ralphs/publix. the 99 cent stores owned by two bit gooks and arabs are taking your market share with a quickness! i'm calling my broker immediately and pouring everything into the dollar stores!
oh wait, they're so big and on the rise that they gave the finger to wall street and built their own capital off packs of hot dogs, toilet paper with twigs and shit in it, and childrens toys with lead.

not sure how smart you are, but out here the 99 cent stores carry name brand shit.
they are in the ghettos and in the rich areas here in san diego.
i've never seen one empty, last night i went to vons around 7 and the place was empty. maybe 10 people in it. after that we went to the 99 cents only store and there were at least 50 people in there
this was in an upper middle class neighborhood.
oh wait i thought you could only get name brand shit at big grocery stores.
nope dollar stores here have every thing you need. even charmin toilet paper and brawny paper towels.
oscar mayer hot dogs, philadelphia cream cheese, kraft singles cheese, campbells soup, real spaghetti o's, hunts spaghetti sauce.
most of the stuff we buy there is name brand
maybe where you live it's different, but around here no one is going to the bigger grocery stores.
Until the economy boots back up. Then everyone will spend conservatively for a little while, but gradually fall back into their old ways.
As soon as you actually start to turn a profit, you will start to lose business. Not a bad plan if your timing is right and you sell before your profit slumps, but a gamble none-the-less.
-
my point is that the margins are so retardedly slim on those 99 cent stores that there is no way they could support an operation on a national scale. they go out of business every few years for a reason.

So my friend bought a 93 jeep Cherokee 2wd to replace this rusted piece of shit lol. Anyone need ranger parts or want to take the time to put the body on a good frame? 350 o/bo in ne Ohio.
