I had a 91 Ranger 5 speed with the 2.3ltr inline 4 and that was one hell of an engine tranny combo. It wasn't fast, it didn't have tons of power and you needed a stiff wind at your back to pass anyone but it did get 30+ miles per gallon. it had just over 500,000 miles on it before my brother got it hot and blew it up. That was the 2nd vehicle it let him borrow and he blew up, the first was my Black Cherry 96 crown vic police interceptor. He had it for a month and i told him to check the oil every week and he didn't, got a call that the motor was making a banging noise then it just stopped. Locked that fucker up tighter than shit.

I got a '93 Ranger (4.0L 5 Speed) with 414,000 miles on it. Sat for 6 years after an offroading incident with a boulder boogered up the front end. This year I finally had the time AND money to rebuild the whole front end, all new parts except the twin I-beams. Derek's videos inspired me to do everything myself. But just like you said, these engines will last forever if ya treat em right. Best trucks ever made.

I bet it will be coming just any time, now. They were still moving cars last week and Derek is in Florida for the Ranger Danger 9000 right now. The video he did on preparing Lawsuit for the Duct Tape Drags has a pretty good view of the shop. You can see a lot of the cars tucked in the corner and up on lifts for storage.
I bet a guy had some locking lug nuts on there and that's what the one new lug was all about on each wheel........ Good luck racing!!!
Derek foreshadowing on point when he said: "I'm going to be out on the third lap probably..."
A feller has a routine when on the KZreads - sees VGG video posted, clicks "play", clicks "thumbs up", enjoys the video. If you haven't subscribed, yet, then a feller really recommends you do that to help a guy and a gal! Greetings from a pal up in Canada, eh?

Im not a Mopar Guy but I love that freaking car!
I used to be a crew member at the local circle track for two race teams for five years. and I have a little tip for you that will help a lot in the handling department. I'm sure you have heard of a little thing called tire stagger. it's where you air up all the tires to maximum air pressure leave them sit for about an hour. then take a sewing tape measure and measure the diameter of the tires. and then put the largest diameter tire on the right front. and if you have a locked rear end put the next largest tire on the right rear. and put the smallest diameter tire on the left rear. and whatever you have left on the left front. it will make the car turn left by it self. it like taking a paper cup and setting it's side and rolling if. you have an unlocked rear end reverse the stagger in the rear, give it a try.
I normally skips through ads, but Derek is just to entertaining.
I cannot wait until you hit 1 million subs. I've been with you since before 200k and enjoying the ride.
