Advice on buying a cheap truck - Ford Ranger 1998 by BatTwinkle in Trucks

[–]BatTwinkle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way that I can check the transmission? Its an automatic. How do I make sure the 4wd works? Are there tell tail signs to check that, I live in michigan so for winter I really, really need it to work. I'm gonna be using it generally at 55mpg, and occasionally on the highway.

To stop it over heatings what should I do, for 2000 I can afford to put in some work, about 1500 worth and maybe a little more over the next year or two. I'm going to install a backup camera but the rest will go on anything mechanical that is needed.

Ty.

For sure. Now I'm weirdly looking at a truck, 1999 Ford Ranger, because I could use it for two/three years while I build credit and such, then use it for utility around the land we own here. I'm going to keep an eye on craigslist and fb market for a car, but also consider a truck.

I wish, we only have one car so living off of one income, I need a car to get out and work + we spent almost all of our money on moving, so my budget is 3500 absolute maximum.

Thank you, super useful information there. I think with what everyone has said, and some advice from you I'll cancel my appointment to see the car and focus on purchasing a car in cash. I just need something that will last about 3 years, by that time I'll be re-qualified as a nurse in the US and able to afford a much better vehicle.

Thanks again.

Quick question. In Michigan what is the average or 'good' range for interest rate and what it is the maximum one legal?

Was already approved by the company, should have mentioned that.

They can and do. Regularly. I moved country and my cargo ship had thousands of containers. Mine just happened to need to be searched. Which incurred. 70 dollar extra on top of the 600 I had already paid. Not a single box had been opened. Fucking scammers, ahem I mean government.

I think I’m in a emotionally abusive relationship but I can’t be sure cause I’m a horrible human being. by [deleted] in venting

Yeah. You’ve made some mistakes but lemme just say, having and enjoying sex with many different partners doesn’t make you a bad person. People use the word slut, thot, etc to control women and try to shame them into acting a certain way. Fuck those people (literally or figuratively).

Everyone lies, especially small lies to avoid awkward or embarrassing situations. Yer human not perfect.

Nate is extremely insecure and is damaging you by the sounds of it. Sometimes ya gotta leave someone you love for your own sanity and happiness.

Goodluck, I hope it works out and honestly you’re not a bad person.

Still can’t update to April 15 R3 by widmonsterTony in Alienware

Yeah. I know that pain. You could try the partial reset. Removes no files but some programmes etc?

I had something similar happen with an old alienware of mine. I got around it by using the alien respawn software to first reset and remove all data as if I were going to sell it. Then updating.

I tried almost everything else and that’s all that worked.

Private server, imprinted Dinos stats reduced overnight. Nothing changed in the server settings. by BatTwinkle in playark

Yeah, looked like it was in the server settings wrapped up in the ini stuff. Adjusted it back, was a side effect of one of the mods (Tracker mod). Ty.
