New Ride

[dragogt]

Had to jump the gun early, and change my plans; So I wound up with this. Its an '07 XL 3.0 auto, with about 53k on it. And I'm gonna end up paying Way too much for it.......

Looks nice!

 

[dragogt]

Yeah, its a clean little truck; And its got more elbow room than my dads '01 Bonneville...

Looks like a nice little truck you got yourself there. Welcome to the Ranger brotherhood.

 

[dragogt]

Thanks, I've been wanting one for awhile now. Just not this way...

Only thing I wish I had was cruse control; I've got a 50+ mi One Way trip to work....

they might still make aftermarket kits, i put one on my '88 way back when i had it, think it was around '92. or maybe you could scavange enough junkyard parts to convert it, dont know what all you would need.

 

[dragogt]

Yep,still do; Found acouplle of kits..

its entirely possible that the truck is completely wired for it. All you need isthe controls from either the steering wheel or turn signal...

Find one with the controls find the plug and see if it works.

 

[dragogt]

i thought about that as well; And I'm hoping one of our resident techs would know..

I never use my CC at all. I wish my truck didn't have it.

why, it's nice to have the options in your truck even if you would only use it once or twice a year. doesn't hurt in the resale either.

Shoot, I love using it; And most of my trip (like 80%) is all hwy..

Nice Ranger.
I like the Ranger great solid little trucks that require little maintenance other than oils and brakes pads. All mine have ran till the frame rusted away from all the salt used here. I use my rangers harder than most use their F250's.

Aaron as on 07 i believe its going to be all controlled via computer. I dont know what the entire system will take to operate, but i would be slightly suprised if the majority of it wasn't already there...
I think it would be to much hassle to designate trucks with out certain parts especially on an assembly line kind of set up. So the majority of parts would be there, but you may be missing a few parts, find a diagram to a CC set up for your truck and see what parts pieces you do have and dont have, then hit up a junk yard...

That's a nice little truck.

Rangers have killer resale value! I didn't buy one for that reason. I couldn't afford it.

I still have a throttle cable, but yeah just gonna take time to get it sorted out; Hell I havent even had it for a week yet...
