[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1675775, member: 26138"] Motor #2 in our Ranger 700 spilled it's guts last weekend. Looking like a broken rod, but I haven't gotten the engine out yet. This one is about 6 years old, probably has 1000 hours on it. The cooling system on these is so crappy that it's next to impossible to keep it from overheating, and the dummy light will not come on until it's already pretty much boiled over. People say that you need to clean the radiator, well I guess they never though you might want to cross a field or two, as soon as you do it is immediately plugged up. I have stuff to do, don't have time to blow out a radiator every trip. Seems like used engines are pretty hard to come by and hardly cheaper than a reman. Probably a testament to their reliability, can buy reliable engines dime a dozen because they never quit, crappy ones demand a premium because they're sought after. Compare the price of a used 5.3 GM motor to a 5.4 Ford, the 5.4 will bring double or triple the 5.3. [/QUOTE]
