The "What did you do to your Ranger today" thread
#2703
I waxed and buffed my ranger with McGuiar's Next Generation Tech 2.0 wax I got from Lowe's. Except for a couple of scratches and dings, it looks like a new truck. Not bad at all for a 9 year old truck !!!!
I like to get a coat of wax on before winter to help protect it from the road salt.
There's no reason I can't get another 9 years out of this truck !!!

Drove to a friends house to replace the A/C system on her Mountaineer and as I was under her truck, I looked back and saw a big puddle under mine.. Finally found that damn leak I've had for the past 8 months... Thermostat housing - the plastic pos thats floating via rubber hose above the motor - finally gave way... So I've parked the truck 50 miles from my house at my sisters, and have to find a dealership that has the housing as the local parts stores say its a dealer only item...
Plastic ???? Really ?? WTF Ford ????

Truck runs great. Tries to spin the tires like it used to. Replaced thermostat / thermostat housing and cleaned intake / maf / sensors and new alternator and belt. 144,000 miles and all I've spent on it in the 9+ years I've had it is just over $1k. Including tires. Not to bad. Maybe I should keep it.*
I need to give it some tlc in the ball joint / steering department. Should I just add the spindle lift and and install new components to that or not lift and do it. Hmmm.

htvfd460stx-Last week I broughtmy 06 to MN. We drove from NJ to the Twin cities Assembaly plant, so I could see those who made my truck for me. I even got to thank a few of them too. I got 24.5 mpg in my last leg home. Not bad for a 4.0!
