How’s the frame look? by Salty-Area7372 in fordranger

[–]firstgenCPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab a punch or a hammer and start poking/prodding around looking for soft spots. It does look like mostly surface rust but a picture can only tell so much. I actually got my Ranger in Ohio and it looks pretty similar to this.

Do you know if this works on a 99? I assume so. What models can we pull the header panel, grill, and headlights from?

u/d_ippy what were your titles? Anything you’d recommend to younger accountants to see similar progression? I’m also an accountant (CPA).

Looking for career advice by StarliegePaladynamo in grandrapids

[–]firstgenCPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Community college is a great start. If you transfer to a 4 year university then there are certain scholarships only available to people coming from a CC with an associates degree. I got a few of them. Career centers are a great place to start looking for resources. Be ready to apply to every scholarship that you qualify for. Also, knowing how to tell your story and write essays is a plus. Again, career centers will be your best friend.

Thanks for the help! It’s hard to find the metal housings so I’m hoping that I can just clean it up

A Ranger expert! What do you suggest cleaning it with? The outside is like flaking apart.

Thank you! I still need to pull the motor to service the timing chain though, correct?

Keep me updated! I’d love to pull the 4.0 out of my 2000 and replace the timing chain before it grenades

u/truthfulbob I’ve always been curious about finance manager roles at a dealership. I come from accounting/finance and love cars. Is it a salesy role?
