Not quite a new member, but it's been 4.5 years, so figured I'd reintroduce myself. Was on here (and got some wonderful help from many people) for a couple of years until my 2002 Exploder did, or rather the 5-speed auto did. I traded it, with disclosure of "a" transmission problem, and moved on. I still had the bug, and my son caught it too. I've just picked up a 2000 Ranger XL Supercab with the 3.0 auto and only 160,000 km (not bad for 18 years old). I came back for the Ranger info, and will likely need some help getting back into the mindset.
BTW, about 6 months ago my (then) 7-year old son asked me," Dad, can you put a 5.0 in a Ranger?" my response, "Yes Son, yes you can." and so here we are. Need to diagnose a no-start and then a poor run, but will get there. It's an extra, so we certainly have some time. And it may be his in 8 years!
