  1. 1996 Ford Ranger xlt, short bed, auto, 2wd, 4 cyl, 140k miles, bed liner, tonneau cover. Its been really reliable, never broke down the 6 years I've owned it. Just drove it 1k miles straight with no problems. Interior is pretty clean. I have all the receipts for stuff I've done to it. I need the truck till 5/26.

    $2000

     

    The bad:

     

    Wipers sometimes don't work on a delay speed but have always worked on the 2 fastest speeds so I never bothered to look into fixing it.

     

    The seat belt spring thingy where it clips in is broken so I just push it up with a nail so it will lock in.

     

    It has a salvage title. It was hit and run last September on the rear passenger side. I put a new bed on it.

     

    The hit and run.

  2. in gear it revs to 5k

     

    I decided to replace the fuel filter since it had probably had never been done and there was a small chance it was causing the problem. It didn't change anything and now at idle it bounces back and forth between 800-1000 before it settles down. ffffffuuuuuuuuu

     

    I guess Im just gonna take it to gearheadz. fucking bought this thing to take on a 5k mile roadtrip since it gets 40mpg and now I'm spending as much fixing problems I didn't know it had as I would have spent in gas just driving my truck. This sucks.

  3. lol so maybe it only does rev to 4.5k

     

    from wiki: Power : 70 hp (52.2 kW, 71.0 ps) @ 4500 rpm

     

    wouldn't max power be fairly close to the top rpm

     

    edit: after searching google it looks like the redline should be 5500 or 6500.

  4. - plugged cat - check by removing the o2 sensor to check for an improvement in revability

    - timing belt slipped

     

    so is this a good thing to try?

     

    How would I know if the timing belt had slipped? It runs fine up till ~4.5k in neutral, seems like it went a little higher in gear.

     

    Heres a video. It really sounds like shit above 3k.
