For complete listing information please select the click to bid button to see this item on ebay. 1983 ford ranger 2. 2l diesel. These trucks are rare and becoming more collectable, even more rare is to find one that's not a total rust bucket. I am the second owner of this truck, i bought it in 1997 from the original owner. He was a cessna owner/pilot and maintained this vehicle just like his personal aircraft. I have continued with that very same maintenance schedule, all filters/oil (oil by-pass, oil full-flow, fuel, air) were changed every 3,000 miles with wix filters and rotella 15w-40 oil. Stanadyne performance formula added at every fill-up. The 2. 2l perkins diesels were only offered by ford for two years (83-84) it is a 4. 135 (s2) perkins non-turbo diesel built by mazda under a licensing agreement with perkins. It is rated at approx. 60hp @4,000rpm and 90fptq @2,500rpm. No speed demon by any means but these perkins s2's are more than capable of exceeding 500,000 miles with regular scheduled maintenance. This diesel currently has 240,000 documented miles on the odometer, 80% highway driving, 20% city driving. Mileage is 32-35mpg city/35-38mpg highway. This truck is 99. 9% rust-free, the only rust is where rock chips have penetrated the clear coat and started to cause some slight surface rust in the paint around the rock chips. The truck still wears its original factory paint, never been re-sprayed. Frame is solid, floor pans are solid, cab mounts are solid, core support is solid, fuel cells are solid, bed floor is solid, it's an all around solid truck. The doors shut like a bank vault. This is a 2wd 4sp manual (only option available in 83-84). The only known flaws are as follows. Small rock chip in windshield (passenger side), stitching in bench seat has come loose (drivers side), dashboard is sun faded in certain spots (mostly on the very edges), gauge for front fuel tank no longer works (fuel tank selector switch/valve still works), water separator handle is stuck closed (the separator was cleaned out and is 'gunk' free). The new(er) additions are as follows. New tires, coopers with less than 2k miles on them, new front shocks (kyb), new brake pads/rotors turned, oil/filters serviced (5-23-17), tranny/diff gear oil were drained/filled last summer, new glow plug control module 2yrs ago 400!), valves were adjusted 2k miles ago, new anti-rattle window trim, new headlights and wiper blades. The diesel has a 400w block heater, it's always plugged in below 32 degrees as to not put undo stress on the engine, batteries, starter, etc. I have maintained this truck with the utmost of care and attention and i believe it shows.
