96-98 is the vortec with the spider injectors. 88-95 is the TBI version.

Originally posted by bcoop View PostIn Rangers I'm finding pure shit, people on crack, or a LOT of what's out there seems to be of the extended cab, 3.0, auto variety. I've looked at a bunch in person, and every damn one has been a basketcase and completely misrepresented.
Clean rangers are very scarce, so they drive a premium.

Also, fuel mileage is a joke with any truck, doesn't matter if it's a V6 or a V8. You're going to see 15-17mpg at best. Doesn't matter if it's a 4.0L ranger, or a 5.7L chevy, you're never going to see better.

In our younger years several friends had the 97+ Ford with the v6, and those things were tanks and never broke. Why do you say that?
Trying to stay away from all v8s. I don't want to have to pay for the turd's gas. That's why a 4cyl Ranger is appealing. That and reliability. He doesn't want a Ranger, but when he saves up enough to go buy what he wants I can use the Ranger myself to keep miles off my truck.Originally posted by BradMBut, just like condoms and women's rights, I don't believe in them.Originally posted by LeahIn other news: Brent's meat melts in your mouth.
