Turned a lemon into a decent little truck at least.
I hear the both of you!
I still have a lemon of a 99' Ranger 3.sl0w....
After finishing the yard work today, I have to replace the broken passenger's door handle. (need to find my BIG rivet gun for those 2 huge rivets)
Then I have to hunt for the latest coolant leak.
Just finished all the heater & radiator hoses a few months ago, and now I have a new leak off the front corner-passenger side of the engine.
Can't ignore it as it is dumping a gallon of coolant everytime I drive this turd.
Can't locate it with an inspection mirror, so I'll have to take half the engine apart to figure out WTF is wrong now!
I can't wait to bury this annoying POS and buy a new 2018 STX EcoBoost 10 speed!
There has been something wrong with this truck just about EVERY week that I have owned it!.....
