i owned a 1989 Ranger XLT 2.3 Lt. 5 speed for 19 years and had 244000 miles when i donated it to the Battered Women's Shelter. It still ran and drove wonderfully but the cab was rusting out around the windshield and it leaked when it rained. Engine and transmission were never opened and the only thing put into it was tires, shocks, breaks, front end parts and two clutches.
