I "Picked" Frank Fritz's 1986 Ford Ranger - Can we Make it Run? Part 1
I bought this 1986 Ford Ranger for $300 on craigslist. Turns out its original owner was a local celebrity! Let's see if we can get it running.

Here is the light I'm using. Many people asked about it.
Enjoyed your cameo appearance on Diesel Creek.
Who's Frank Fritz ?
Kiddo with wheeled transportation and a ramp. Time to teach him a new phrase...."Don't tell Mom".
Watch enough Mustie1 and you'll learn that the gas in the tank according to the previous owner has only been sitting a "few months/years" is at least twice as old as claimed.
Typical parts cannon
Why is he filming her? Because he loves her and she's cute.
From what i read Frank Fitz is no longer on the picker show....He's done !
I think Eric O over at South Main has said several times new does not mean good.... Great diagnosis
You got bad gas in that truck, do you know how long it sat? Add fuel stabilizer and some new gas; check for vacuum leaks! I like the truck but electronics is way too much for my taste; mechanical distributor and carbs work too well to rationalize all that BS! :(
Your diagnostic always amazes me even though it’s basic to you. You teach me with every video and I appreciate it.
Wes: "Got no brakes, got no license plates, no insurance, half the lug nuts are on the floor by my feet, the transmission is making a terrible racket ..."
My first vehicle was a ranger with a 2.9. I can still hear that damn tapping to this day.
My son does that evil laugh when he's about to do something crazy. Lol
“Don’t even think about it, child.” Oh, he’s thinking about it; like father like son. 😜
I had one of those rangers in black with a 2.3L 4x4, and I’ll tell ya what that lil truck was un-killable. Off-road it was unstoppable because it didn’t have enough power to spin the tires so it had to go lol. I was actually rear ended by a six wheeled dump truck so hard that my head hit the top of the cab separating the seam above the door all the way to the back glass enough that you could stick both fists in the crack, broke my neck and I still drove it home. I received a phone call the next day from the hospital advising me to come back in a had a cervical fracture lol. I drove the lil truck around as a beater for two or three more years before giving it to a guy because he didn’t have a work vehicle.
MAJOR PARTS CANNON on that one! Cool find Wes, OBD1 EFI systems are always fun to diagnose :)
Loved it. Seeing a 86 come back to life after one simple faulty part.
My motto with cars, ya gotta drive em and keep em oily. A car that sits and isn't driven will go to crap pretty quickly...
As Derek at VGG would say “give er the ole I-talian tune up. That will bring her right around.”
