took the Ranger to bennington vt on a day trip with my mom on friday.. ended up getting to the visitors center, getting some information, and went to the truck to find the starter fried... 5spd so we just pop started it and went to the advance auto down the road.. checked it over to find the power wire that runs inside the starter and goes to the solonoid, fried... contenplated putting in a new starter using borrowed tools from advance, ended up not doing that.. we decided we were arleady there, and were going to enjoy the trip.. so we parked where the truck could be pushed ( you get all kinds of funny looks from this ).. I put a starter in yesterday, no big deal. it's a pretty job on that truck..

anyway, working on my Chevy today, I realised I need somthing that can tow it, as it can't be driven everywhere.. so I'm going to sell the Ranger in the ballpark of $2,500 and get somthing with a 6,000# tow rating ( car+ trailer ).. somthing a bit older that's easier to work on would be nice
