Since markpetersonii blew up his motor in his ranger I think he should ship me the motor and have me rebuild it for him

Thats what i say. He wants me to go out there but hes gotta find me a CHEAP jeep comanche 4wd no rust then ill go out there lol

Shippings going to be a beast but DO IT!! :dancingpontiac:

shipping is gunna be a pain in the ARSE!

A plane ticket may cost just as much or cheaper, I say you go to him. :bacon:

Sorry dude, I voted no. My buddy and I are going to pull it apart and see what's wrong and fix it ourselves. We are thinking it's a blown radiator and head gasket. I'll let you know for sure, but as soon as it's fixed I'm putting that biatch up for sale!

are there no pick-a-parts where you live? a whole running long block can be had for less than a couple hundred, just gotta pull yourself. cheapest way to get a car back on the road. if its just head gasket tho, you should be fine, but beware, if the head or block is warped, its still cheaper to get JY motor

remove head from block, scrape all headgasket off, put the head back on and snug bolts. then try to fit thin feeler gauge all around. if it fits in places and not in others, dont bother with it.

or you could do the old school way of decking a head/block. sandpaper and large true flat bar of thick steel. altho thats mainly for aluminum, cast would take forever to do like that

What size motor?

Ranger lol....

I think its time for RB or 2J swap.

Ranger -- 2wd or 4wd, I am thinking 302 out of a stang.

302 BOOOOO

351 WINNNNN

Why not a nascar engine?

LOL you guys...

It's a 3.0 V6 2WD

And we will convert it to 6.0l twin turbo AWD diesel if we have to.

Those 3.0L are actually pretty good motors. What went in it?

The radiator was leaking and overheated spraying white smoke and I was almost home so i pushed it...

Wrong choice lol, after the white smoke ALL the lights on the dash turned on and then black smoke came spewing out and it shut off.

SO, I'm thinking that it overheated and the head gasket blew and coolant and oil were burning up... Just a guess though.

yay FORD LOL

Actually, the funny part is that the engine still starts... It died and started again 3 times! I'd say that's pretty resilient!

A blown up motor that starts is still a blown up motor. :D
