Keep on trucking

I bought my 2003 Ford Ranger new and I have to say it has been a very good truck.




Never had any major problems and I always did the maintenance myself, except that one time, then I felt dirty. But, yesterday the alternator started up, had a battery light on. Thinking it might be a problem, I decided to replace it rather than see what happens.





Rather painless job considering all the things hanging around it. You can see it, all shiny and new in the middle of the dirt that clings to the rest of the engine. I'm assuming 176,000 miles is good for a OEM part. The battery lasted until right before winter. It's been a good little truck and I'm planning to get another 100,000 miles out of it.
