Nice score and the price was reasonable!!! My 91 has close to 500K on the clock and it still runs like the proverbial clock. Only problem was a known problem... weak head bolts... had to yank the head for a head gasket water leak around 185K and cut the valves and put injectors in at that time, even though a valve job and injectors were not needed. It now leaks more oil than it uses, but still only loses a quart per 2500 miles. I religiously changed oil and greased it every 3-4K, changed trans and rear oil every 50K, and it still has the original front end except for the right lower ball joint. Bear in mind the timing belt needs to be changed right around 60K but it's a non interference motor so it just quits when the belt goes away.
To bad the later Rangers didn't drive or handle nearly as well as the older ones.
Enjoy!!!

Jim
