Well since I turned over there are gages that don't work now the temp gage all the others work. I'll pull over and see what that does next time.

Sounds like mine, I have 200k on it and the transmission is starting to buckle up again. My OD light comes on, and sometimes I get a check engine with code that the mechanic says "new transmission".

I had a new tranny at 100k, and doubt if she will get another. She will go until she goes no more. Not worth the cost anymore. 2007, btw.

FWIW, my last ranger ate IACs, but they showed up pretty clear with a code.

Well maybe it time for some upgrades. A 351W based smal block would be nice one or you could go all in with a big block.

If I get rid of the ranger I will buy a used Chevy 3/4 ton or 350

I tell you the 4.0 engine for a small truck really drinks gas! It not as bad as my 20th with the 6.0 but it right up there! And the truck has less power a lot less but I hope I can get 5th out of the ranger.

What kind of mileage do you consider "really drinks gas"? I bought my 2002 Ranger 4.0L in 2004 with 36088 miles on it. I then drove it 78141 miles and averaged 18.361 mpg overall. Lots of short trips, city driving, using the A/C most of the time. Not great mileage, but not that bad either. Of course, my 2015 F150 Super Crew with the 2.7L ecoboost has so far averaged 20.836 mpg under the same driving conditions,:laughing:

I get about 16 going to town and back I wish it was more 18mpg
