i have a 2004 explorer and the drivers side power window is intermintentant. yea not a ranger but maybe some here can tell me if the ford s are having switch issues or maybe motor issues. i do not think it is in the wiring at the door hinges as the other windows are working good. so i can take...

thanks but like i said i see tons of the 4.ol trucks and then the issues when they get around 150k to 175k miles on them. they area bear to fix. i for one am not liking the fact you have to remove the engine to repair the timing chains. what a stupid idea. and they still make it and people still...

this may not be the correct forum but to have to register on another ford forum maybe someone here has the answer. does the 2019 or 2020 ford escape come with standard park assist? i see it in some places on the ford site but then when i build the car it does not show up and standard or...

by the lack of response tells me they did not redesign it and that it is still junk and that is why i see so many with trucks with 170k plus miles for sale compared to other trucks in that size. so lack of response tells me to stay away for them. thanks for the help

can anyone tell me the general consensus on the 4.0l engine and the timing chain? i have heard the to start avoiding the engine when it gets around 170k on it as at that point the timing chain may start to become an issue and that may be why so many are for sale around that mileage. then i...

i started a thread about the worthiness of the 4.0 verses the 3.0 i was looking at rangers and i asked about how the 4.0 is for durability and came across a youtube.that showed changing out the timeing chains what a job that is. so i see a lot of ranger for sale now with 170 to 250k miles and...

i was looking at some ranger 4x4 trucks and it seems most have the 4.0l engine. but in doing some you tubes looking for interference of them i see the 4x4 engine area bear if the chins go out. have to pull the engine. so did that really ever go away. a friend told me the early 4.0l engine had...

thanks

i have a chance to get a 2002 ranger that is missing the auto trans and both drive shafts. i do not yet know the rest of the trucks condition the owner said he drove it daily and the trans went out. it is a 4x4. so if i was to get this truck how many combinations of transmissions and drive...
