THE GOVERNOR FOR THE 90 MPH GOVERNOR WAS RECALLED BY THE CONSUMER AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLS. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT IT WAS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I CALLED UPON FORD SEVERAL TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, AS WELL AS WENT BY THE FORD SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PERTAINING TO MY 1993 FORD RANGER. NOT UNTIL AFTER THE TRUCK BROKE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT DID FORD PRETEND TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS A RECALL, BUT, ALSO CHARGED 1000 DOLLARS. THE TRUCK DID NOT FILL LIKE IT WAS FIXED PROPERLY I APPROACHED THE LANDERS FORD COLLIERVILLE OF COLLIERVILLE TENNESSEE AND HE STATED IT WAS FIXED. THEY THEN TRIED TO SELL ME ANOTHER TRUCK. ANY WAY THE TRUCK DID NOT GO ANOTHER 500 MILES BEFORE BREAKING AND GETTING REAR ACCIDENT BY A HIT AND RUN DRIVER. FORD TOOK MY 1000 DOLLARS AND DID NOT FIX MY TRUCK AND ARE STILL IGNORANT TO THE DAY ABOUT MY TRUCK AND RECALL. I AM A COMMERCIAL TRUCK DRIVER AND IN THE PERIOD OF 11 YEARS HAVE NOT PUT BUT 57000 MILES AND DO NOT NEED A NEW TRUCK FROM FORD THEN OR...

THE FRAME HAS RUSTED UNTIL THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. IT IS FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE REAR SPRING SHACKLES WHEN THEY RUSTED OUT IN 2006. I BOLTED A PIECE OF ANGLE TO THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORT TO REPAIR IT AFTER IT RUSTED INTO AND DROPPED THE TRANSMISSIOM AND TWISTED THE DRIVE SHAFT INTO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I TOOK IT UP ON 2/9/2012 TO GET A NEW EXHAUST PUT ON IT AND AND GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE GARAGE TO COME LOOK AT THE UNDER CARRAIGE OF THE TRUCK. THE BED HAS A RUSTED OUT SUPPORT, THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORT CROSSMEMBER IS RUSTED INTO ON THE OTHER SIDE FROM WHERE I REPAIRED IT BEFORE AND THE FRONT SUPPORT CROSSMEMBER UNDER THE RADIATOR IS RUSTED OUT. THE SUPPORT FOR THE SPARE TIRE RUSTER OUT YEARS AGO. THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN WORK GREAT BUT THE TRUCK IS SCRAP NOW BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THE FRAME AND BODY SUPPORTS. *TR
