04 Ranger, any input before i buy it??

Just checking the oil/condition of oil, tells a lot. U don't remember ticking being a common problem but remember exhaust leaks and spaok plug wire breaks 'tick' also.

I remember replacing pug wires a lot on all Fords.

 

How much that sounds like it could be a good deal.

 

Don't waste your money. Buy a tacoma

 

i had an 03 with the 3.0 that grenaded around 150k miles. Perfect maintenance on everything, and it turned into a huge POS. Body was in good shape, so it looked good in the junk yard

 

lol

 

Ford, Fix Or Recycle Dilemma

 

I drove a ranger for work back in 2011/2012. Total pos in my opinion. Ended up in the boneyard with a nasty engine knock at 150k miles. I think it was maybe a 2005. I wouldn’t pay more than $1,500 for an old ranger. You are going to spend a lot of money on that thing.

 

"Bold" is not the word I would have used.

 

Maybe you should read the first post on this thread

 

WoW, still More dumbass comments on this thread from fanboys. These kids just don't stop...

 

Maybe you should read this websites name.

 

Ok child, what word would you use? (Since you can't read the first post)

 

Great comment

 

Do you happen to recall what engine it had and if that was a common issue?

 

One of my better ones tyvm

 

Ok, you want an upvote or something?

 

that would be nice, would make my peepee.... nevermind.

 

The update is even better. I think TW needs a “duel” function. Call a fellow member out, get sent to a Gulag type of battle. Gulag consists of slashing insults at eachother, mods vote on the winner. If the winner is the challenger, they get control of the thread in question.

@ColoradoTJ make it happen

 

I found a 2007 single cab ranger automatic 4cyl 40kmiles, mint condition frame/body/paint/interior.
It's been sitting on a guys property in my area for over a year. He bought a full size truck and just left the ranger parked.

The owner (has title) says the top of the engine is making a slight tick/rattle noise. I have not run the engine myself yet.

Hes been looking for the keys for a few days but wants to sell it. I have not made an offer yet.

Do you ranger owners know if this tick/rattle is a common problem? Valve tick? Cam bearings? Any common issues with a 2007 4cyl or tranny that i should be inspecting for?

I'll update once i run it. Thanks
