Why I left
well guys, I must bid you all farewell. After two front diff leaks, a rattling timing chain, bad brakes and some other problems I have turned the ranger in because I have been tired of it being in the shop. It was an absolutley wonderful truck when it worked but I can't be out on a trail in the level 2 and have more things go wrong. Its not so much the ranger as it was ford not helping very well to solve the problems that it did have. I went to two dealerships and neither was helpful to me. I wanted to call ford directly but this being the second car in a row where no one at ford will help me, I just gave up on the blue oval for now. I went to the dealership and looked to get something else at ford but they would only give me 12k for it and I thought that was a joke considering it didn't have 20k in miles on it.So I did what no other ranger owner wants to do, I went across the street to the chyrsler dealer and bought a jeep. I like it a lot and the parts availability is just mesmerizing. I grew up in livonia (roush racing, svt, livonia transmission, china operations) and was only a few miles from WorldHQ and Research and engineering. I do miss driving a blue oval but I wanted something reliable on the trail. Everyonce in a while I catch myself staring at another level 2 thinking "mines way better then that one because..." I thank all of you for support and info while I did own the ranger and think this is one of the best boards I have been on.
PS I have my front skid plate that is painted with POR 15 and is in good condition. Let me know if anyone is interested in a purchase shoot me an email nategracie808@yahoo.com

Cant blame ya. the customer service at Ford leaves a bit to be desired. I live with a funky auto tranny, that shifts fun at times, the rattle, and some misc other issues.. like my driverside pwr door locks that dont work other than it starts 99.9% of the time, and i only got stuck in it once.
and 12K for a rnager with less than 20K miles? thats a joke! especially if its like 04/05/06 since their selling lvl2 around here used with 40K miles for 18K. what jeep give ya for it?
