Where do these guys get all that money!?
At the risk of confusing the point (I'll type it slowly) I did not say all furd rangers were junk. I said the furd ranger I HAD was the biggest POS vehicle I had ever owned, and it was. Hands down.

it was a 1986, first year with the 2.8 V6.
When it had 10k miles it sucked an intake manifold gasket in, and with it sucked the oil out of the galley. There wasn't a mosquito within miles. Unofficial recall on that one.
A couple months later it lost all oil pressure, then at around 38k (out of warranty) it started losing power and died on the freeway. Diagnosis was a clogged cat convertor and bad fuel pump and bad injectors.

Then at around 50k it died again, same symptoms. Diagnosis: TWO bad cats, TWO bad fuel pumps, and a bad fuel injection computer. Oh and bad injectors again, and a bad injector harness.

then died again. I had it towed to the stealer and told them to do the absolute minimum to get it to run for 5 miles.
I drove it down the street and traded it in.

How much do ya think that all cost smartass? Or is that Mr. Smartass? Maybe it's Mr. Smartass Expert?
