High Mileage 5G Rangers

[Cmar]

6r80 was an amazing transmission. Wish we got it stateside.

Yes basically it was a Ford built under license ZF box, with a few minor changes like re-mapped shift program, increased clutch clamping force to cope with the diesel torque, and extra weight of a pickup.

Even with the 100 mile round trip to and from work, my 22 OTR Ranger still has a long way to go to catch up with Sid @Msfitoy and @woodworker. After having the truck for 3 years it's pushing toward the 107,000 mile mark. Serviced at Quick Lane in Sherman, TX every 5,000 ish miles lol.

I live so far out that I have to have a half tank of gas just to go get gas.

THIS IS WHY MY 2021 RNGER HAS 148,000 MILES ON IT!!!!
