I didn't know where go turn. I finally cried out to Jesus, and he heard my cry. When the bible says God is near to the brokenhearted it is very true. I cried out to God in tears, and He eventually turned my sorrow to joy. I thank God for the gift of salvation that He gave me. Now I have a wife and 2 kids that God has blessed me with. Please stick in there and give God a chance to transform your life. Cry out to God no matter how broken you are.

    I loved the rangers. Had a 97 xlt 4x4 with six foot bed. Awesome truck. Sold it last year. Have a family. A two seat truck Dosent fit four. But that 4L six. Kicked arse. Only replaced the ac compressor, alternator, gas float and 4x4 relay. Thought for sure I would go through a thermostat. Never did. Ended up changing the gas float. But hey. Had the truck since 98. Second owner. And those are the only problems I had. Can’t complain. She was a great work truck. Kids loved her.

    God bless the owner's preparedness and taking steps to reduce issues. Just began working on my 20 year old car and a lot of the small things I could've taken the time to quickly fix early on have snowballed into much larger issues that are costing me a lot. Still, if that car ever goes, my go-to vehicle for the future will probably be a Ranger or a Tacoma or any other old-reliable truck.

Well my Ranger was t-boned over 6 grand damages knocked the hell outta the resale value ... Still gonna go on a 2/3 ,000 mi trip this summer --- this ol boy's over 80 and don't have that much more time to see some more of these good ol U.S. of A...

    Good for you man, I'm just looking on craigslist at an '11 4.0 with 100 K and auto trans, and I'm also a roadtripper and hope to go to the southwest from WA State, etc. Just would need a canopy to sleep in. for 20 years I've owned a '93 ranger that now has 220 K on it, and all its needed has been oil and brakes as well! But I don't quite trust trust it for yet another long trip :-) The fact that you're 80 and you're doing it is so impressive to me, that's how I want it to go for me. i'm keeping strong and lean. Did you take that trip across the US of A?
