I got sick and tired of the Gas Mileage and rising gas prices in my V8 Grand Cherokee, so I went and picked up this:
86 Ranger 2.3 Diesel 4x4 5 speed. Had some coolant leaks. Owner wasn't too mechanically inclined, thought it was the head gasket, but no water in oil, or oil in water.
Blew out water pump/neck gasket, After fixing that, block heater blew out the side of the block. Traced it down to a non venting rad cap, over-pressuring the system. Changed that. All is good now.
Came with spare motor, transmission, and other weird parts that make it tick (from a parts truck he used to have), Jo box, as well as a gokart. (you can see it in the back in 2nd pic)
I've heard stories of anywhere about 25-30 MPG around down and as high as 40-45 on the hwy. Will find out soon enough.
