As the title says, my 2000 2.5L M5OD Ranger sat in storage for the past 6 months (extended illness). Now the ol girl won't start.
I need some help making a list of issues to investigate. I'm somewhere between "beginner" and "intermediate" in term of mechanical aptitude - rebuilt some ancient...
My truck has developed an unsettling problem in the past 2 days: it's nearly impossible to shift... sometimes. It only happens when the engine is running, I'll have it out of gear while sitting at a light. Light changes, try to push the shifter into 1st... it feels like there's something...
Just as the title says. First noticed this last summer when driving through the Mojave desert at night - the NWS said the outside temp was about 107F, and my A/C blew slightly warm air on both settings (max was a little cooler). Recently drove to Phoenix, where it was 96F out. Noticed my A/C...

Hey ya'll,
I picked up a nice little 2000 Ranger 2.5L manual, 2WD a few weeks ago. It's the first 4-wheeled vehicle I've owned in a few years (been 2-wheel only for the duration) that desperately needs the front shocks replaced.
