    I just scraped my 2001 Ford Sport Trak due to frame rot @ 197,000 miles. The Sport Trak is close to the same drive train and frame as the Ranger. Inspect ALL your frame mounts and rear leaf spring mounts. If any of then are rotted through, any money you put in the engine is a waste. Take a good look just between the cab and box, its the first spot for frame rot to start. Spring mounts are a pain to fix on those trucks too. Don't put a dime in it if any of these spots are bad. But that is my 2 cents. Good luck.
