Topic: "New" Daily Driver

[*FFC*]

FINALLY!!! NO more F-250 daily drivers!! This thing gets 16 mpg in town..I have no idea what it gets on the freeway.  I inherited this from my stepdad..... till I find something else, then it goes back to him

'88 Ranger, 3.5" lift, 31x10.50x15 store brand muds

Nice grab! I had an 89 and it was the biggest POS I've ever seen!  It was 2wd, though.

Is this thing auto (A4LD) or stick?  And is it the limited-slip 8.8? 2.9V6?

Uhmmmm... It's the stick, new clutch, new ujoints , limited slip, 2.9v-6 I scored.  It's been in the family its whole life.  So if I get something else, this goes back to my stepdad

Definitley a nice grab then! the auto isn't too strong, IMO.  That 2.9 is a good engine as well!

wow j, nice score, haha, i knew that truck looked familiar... whats he driving these days?

i dont think the a4ld came out until the later years, and i am pretty sure that that truck is a stick if i remember right....


i had an a4ld in my 94 explroer and never had any problems with it, when my explorer finally died, it had over 110k on it -- and most of that was with me driving all crazy like i do.... manual shifting all the time and thigns liek that, the flowmaster 40 on the 4.0 was nice

Wanna know what I think...   Nah J/K.     It's cool to have something to DD and take out once in a while  . Hope you find something soon IF you plan on giving it back to your stepdad.

Yer right... I don't I do plan on giving it back to my stepdad someday, but for now I'm relaxing with it, and focusing on which vehicle to sell (prolly my Ford) cuz we have too many vehicles, and I'm not getting rid of the Migo.

I'm not too fond of them, but at least this one gets better mileage than our other trucks

Come on FFC, 8 mpg wasn't hat bad when your F-250 was new
