hmmm maybe ill have to ask the dealer about that? lol

 

Those were regular cab Rangers only, built in June, 2004. Word is that Ford ended up replacing, not repairing, the recalled trucks.

 

so thatd be a good deal if you had beat the **** outa yer 04.. now youd get a new one lol

 

That would be cool but mine was made in November of 03

 

Affected vehicles: Certain 2004 Ford Ranger Regular Cab pickup trucks built at the Twin Cities Assembly Plant from June 2, 2004 through June 25, 2004.

 

how do u figure out what month urs was built?

 

get a vin decoder, or have someone look it up for you...i can if you like

 

The month and year are on the door jamb label. If it's not 6/2004, your truck can't be among the recalled Rangers.

 

damn i had to not get a reg cab lol

 

Great mine was built between that time and mine was a stepside to. it looks like ill be makeing a trip to ford monday.

 

Hows that going to work with mods on the truck. Will the dealer let ppl upgrade the truck or do they have to take one that is the same?
