was it the ground wire for the battery that came loose?? i did the same thang to mine when i was cleanin out the mud from under the hood i accidently knocked the ground wire off. theses trucks are tough as nails and them 2.9's(looks like what yours has too) are pretty strong little motors. i have a 6 inch trailmaster lift and 33" tires and that 2.9 pulls em pretty decent for a little v6. tho mine has had cams put in it and it been rebuilt from the bottom up.
thanks I like that truck alot I am thinking about doing some more work to it and as for the truck it's one of the simplest trucks i have seen one vacuum line on the motor that goes to the map sensor . i had a friend that had a 83 and it had more vac lines than a bowl of noodles lol
good now for 257k not a miss damm what a ford and yes untouched motor and 5 speed or as they say 4 speed overdrive lol it has a 8.8 rear end and warren hubs twist lock !! 4x4 got to love it

run about 3 bottles of injector cleaner through it ( 1 per tank) to stop the engine from bogging down when you punch it that worked for mine.

Dude your Ranger's pretty cool for an 88. I like the earlier engines myself because you didn't have a lot of computers and it was easier to work on.
