1984 Ford Ranger perkins power

[Evilliboba]

And I thought my 2.3L with 88hp was underpowered...

[mmz77]

@Harleyboy71496 Look who is talking, Harley is oil leaking shit.

[NathansBackwoods]

About what fuel mileage are you getting?

[gamr89]

i just bought an 84 Ford Ranger but mine needs work! its not in bad shape but it needs some tune ups.

[beemerman540]

monster lol.

[strangersbmx]

my dad is thinkin of buyin me a truck all i know about it is its a 85 ford but i dont know what kind its square in the front and just has a big ford emblem in the middle of the hatch ive had cars all my life and know nothing about older trucks

[garthboy]

@strangersbmx that would be the 85 ford f150! I have one

[mrclaytonio]

they need to make a 2.3L powerstroke turbo diesel that be able to fit in rangers ford needs to make more rangers like that it would be a nice truck to own for light loads

[cowboydan86]

@mrclaytonio they do. it's just not available in the us

[smtnfi]

I agree!

[TheConradChannel]

@mrclaytonio in europe the ford Transit (van), had a 2.5 non turbo, and a 2.5 turbo diesel available throughout the 90s, maybe you shoudl try to import one of those engines, they're very reliable and very cheap becasue there are literally thousands of them in scrapyards, the vans had a production run from the end of 86 up to 00, the turbo ones onyl came in the late 90s though. the modern ranger you can get in europe comes with a 2.5litre turbo diesel also

[earlybird38]

Nice little truck man!!!

[mccrackenphillip]

2.2L DIESEL

[83Dieselranger]

My 83 diesel wouldn't even do that! Mainly because of a posi rear axle. Check out my vids of it. I have a 0-60 if you can bare to whatch a vid that long LOL

[mae951]

My F150 has a gas 300 inch straight six that idles JUST like that diesel!

[1984fordrangerdiesel]

thanx, unfortunately i no longer own the truck, i was sad to see her go = (

[flwkid]

nice same body style as my truck i would die if mine were diesel be so sick

[neurocytohemotoxic]

I'm sure this truck is very economial but it could use a large tubocharger. And it'd need some tranny upgrades to handle the extra power. It would deffinately be a good investment.

[mornin151]

they didnt have turbo's till 86... unless you put one on... this one doesnt have one on it...

[neurocytohemotoxic]

thanx

[Gaspipenicklioni]

More power than the original engine!

[1984fordrangerdiesel]

(my truck) nope that is Dyno Proven hp and tq i ran it one day as a joke haha. man i love that truck

[mongo5888]

@1984fordrangerdiesel NICE TRUCK!!!

[FordNissanChevy]

im sure your making more tq than that.

[Dodgeram591]

that truck's got sack..lol

[angustuba]

i'd kill for that truck, or pay 1000$ B)

[torque395]

not even 50 hp?? Wow!! Motor belongs on industrial equipment instead of a vehicle, but i bet it gets great mileage. Would be great to to drive back and forth to work or school.

[jordansticklee666]

that what he did drove it 2 school everyday

[creamyfilling102]

that's 50 tractor horsepower,,not car horsepower. industrial horsepower ratings are a lot more heavy than car horsepower. our ford tractor has a 400 cu. in. diesel with only 130 hp, the same as our toyota camry. don't tell me a 2.2 liter car engine can pull a 4 bottom plow across the field just as good as an almost 7 liter tractor engine. dont be fooled.

[torque395]

The difference between the 130hp diesel and the 130hp gas is the amount of torque it makes and the engine RPM at which it makes it. The camry wouldnt have the power at a low enough speed to pull a plow nor would it have the traction that a tractor has. It would probably do it if you put some low gears in it and maybe used it in front of a transfer case in 4 low. Get those RPMs high at a low speed. But then it would drink fuel like crazy.

[creamyfilling102]

i know about the RPM difference. but even if you reved the camry up to 6 grand and adjusted the gears, there's no god damn way it can keep up with the tractor. maybe for about 5 seconds before the head blows off.

[Dieselfreak82]

I drove one of those once...It honestly was the slowest thing I have ever driven. And they are turbocharged by the way....

[roflcopter696969]

no. there are 2 different models. the older ones with the 2.2l were without a turbo and then the 2.3l had a turbo

[jordansticklee666]

the truck came from the factory with the diesel

[jmanwild]

what engine did the bII have?

[jordansticklee666]

the truck came from the factory with the diesel but it had a auto now it has a 5 speed from a 87 ford bronco 2

[alm200]

46hp seriously

[mopar43v3r]

its an NA diesel, they dont make much power.

[chibichan1701]

@jordansticklee666 yikes....only 46hp and an auto...it must have taken about a year to get to 60.

[IHDiesel436]

@chibichan1701 11 months asshole ha jk

[mccrackenphillip]

@jordansticklee666 40 MPG.

[ibuiltmineo1oo]

got any pics on how the engine was installed? what tranny and such?
