ok I have a 98 ford ranger 4x4 xlt exstended cab, offroad model, Both painted bumbers rusted out, as a matter fact the front fog lights fell out due to rust. The rear tailgate is also rusted, The rest of the body is in good shape. The 3.0 siezed at 80 thousand, the rearend went around 70 thousand. the check engine light has stayed on sense changing engine. Now it need a front wheel bearing assembly(around 200 dollars). Oh by the way my throw out bearing did make noise, but when I changed out the engine I also changed out the clutch ,plate, and bearing. My dealer said they where having proplems with the vender of the throwout bearing because of this proplem. His recomadation after market, no proplems yet.
Will I get rid of this truck no, no payments and I don't put many miles on this truck, I bought a cube van for my company to replace this truck. So for around 1500 I will have a like new truck. I got lucky engine and rearend from totaled truck with only 20 thousand on it paid around 1100 for the 2. When I bought my van and my wifes jeep I bought the extended warrenty, good so far, it has at least covered the 500 dollar bill to fix the alarm on the jeep.
