Hello all;
My name is Dan, and I live in Orange, Texas, near the Louisiana border and the Gulf of Mexico. At the present, I teach auto mechanics at the local Jr college. In my previous life, I drove a lot of Ford Rangers...from a 72 Courier, to an 84, 87, and 97.
My interest in the Ranger comes in the form of building one into a little street machine. I would like to do a frame off build up, and maybe stick a 302 in an early model. We'll have to see on that one. I am just now putting a V8 into an old Safari van. Hopefully it will be on the road soon.
At any rate, I digress. Thanks for starting this forum. I am sure it will grow and become THE spot to come to for Ranger info.
Drive safe,
Dan Harriman

HI! Well I guess it would be pretty obvious that my name is Tonya lol. I was registered on F150 Forum as CountryGirl until the F150 got repod last January.
So I got back into another Ranger. This is my 2nd one & it is a 2002 4x4. So far it is mostly stock, except for an intake & some black headlights that are still sittin in the box here in the floor waiting to be installed this weekend

Hi everyone, been a member of the 150 forum for about a year, have learned alot about the newer vehicles and hope I have passed on info to others taken from my experience of twisting wrenches for 40 years. I'll be checking in now and then just to see if I can help out. Thanks, Bill
Sgtgoose1 from F150 Forums,
I owned a 1985 & 1998 Ranger and they were Great trucks
I bought my 1985 March 85 with 7 miles on it had for 6 years until I had to leave for another assignment in 1991 . It had 52,000 miles on it
I bought my 1998 in Feb of 98 with 16 miles on it and traded it off on my 04 F150 in 2006 when it had over 160,000 miles and I still wish I would of kept it with the F150.
All had Long beds

Yey! Enawdski here, from F150form, I don't have a ranger, but an everest, it is the wagon model of the ranger, released here in our part of the world.
Our ranger/everest has only CRDI diesel engines, 4x2, 2.5 duratorq crdi engine and a 4x4, 3.0 duratorq crdi engine.
What part of the world are you from?

Could be lots of things causing this.
The ignition timing could be too early or late, not allowing the engine to build up any torque under load.
The valve timing could have slipped giving the engine a loss of power.
Restricted exhaust, too large of a tire size, etc. These and lots more could be the cause.
Hope you get it figured out. Let us know what you find out what is causing this.
Happy motoring,
