Welcome. 1994 was a good year for Rangers. We'd love to see pics.

If only everybody had the same outlook, the world, and our country, would be in a much better place. Well said, my friend. (y)

The soul of the B2 is its wheelbase; the shortest of all RBVs. THAT is why they are such a blast to drive. They are the nimblest, the most agile of the breed. It's the frame. Even if it has a Ranger cab, it's still a B2.

That's not a bad idea. If you junk the body on it, it seems that those big side windows aren't common anymore. There may be some profit in the parts off of an otherwise hopelessly rusted body.

Sleep on it. Then look at it again tomorrow. I can feel your angst.

. . . and it's even better than peeing in the alley, I suppose. Your work really looks good, Jim. You should have been a plumber; you'd be rich and retired by now.

Damn; I thought that RonD was back. Good job, Eric!

Welcome to TRS. Nothing wrong with not having a lot of experience working on cars; it's where every one of us started. A couple of basic things to do first, with a beginner in mind. 1) Check that both battery post terminals are tight, and have no corrosion. It'd be good to take each off and...

The fuel pump relay is grounded from the ECM.

My first suspect would a bad, or failing, wire, especially on the ground side. Case in point- The starter is grounded through the engine block, to the battery negative via the thick primary grounding cable: the primary ground cable. The fuel pump itself is grounded back to the battery...

I thought that that was the Rapper Ranger . . . oh wait . . . the Rapper Ranger had a turntable and pile of scratched records, too. I think it was, anyway. My memories of the '80s and '90s are gettin kinda hazy at this stage . . . .

SHAME ON YOU! Go stand in the corner.

Well, if you can figure it out, then I'll have to try it myself. A while back RockAuto had a lot of the Ford wiring repair pigtails on closeout sale; I don't know if they still have any or not. Repair pigtails are the way to go, but damn they're expensive!

I don't know; sorry. I think that it's time well spent doing what you're doing, in going through the wiring and fixing things where needed. These are simply old trucks, and wiring repairs are just part of the fun (yeah, right . . . ).

Agreed. If you were looking for an almost time-capsule perfect example, and money was no object, this would be the truck. True, for a new "today's" truck, but sadly, the asking price is about double what the truck originally sold for in 1990. Saya a lot about inflation over the 34 years...
