‘97 Ranger, same thing with about 260,000 miles on it.
I just had the AC system refurbished for $1,100. I figure that’s 2-3 months payments and insurance on a new truck, so I’m ahead of the curve.
Great heater, warm? Roll the window down. 5 digit odometer. Either 170,000 or 270,000. Not pretty, very economical, very reliable. I have replaced most of the suspension to make safe. Rides like a truck.
