Thinking about getting an older Ranger with a diesel. Hope it will use 1/2 the fuel my Ford with 6.9 does. Have not even looked at the Ranger. Said to be rusted but runs ok. Did the ranger diesel have a good history?

They are rare I've only seen 2. I don't know anything about them other than you better not be in a hurry to get somewhere.
Actually there were two diesels put in the Ranger, from 1983 to 1984 they had a 59hp Mazda engine, from 1986 to 1988 they had a 86hp Mitsubishi-built 2.3L turbodiesel. In 1989 the diesel idea was dropped. I wouldn't want to be trying to find parts for either engine 20+ years later.
A 'regular" Ranger from late 80s early 90s with the 2.9L "Cologne" V6 gets great mileage and is good for about 200K+ without an overhaul if you change the oil like you should.

My boss has an '85 or '86, I think, that he aquired from his Dad who'd been the original owner.........mileage is 40mpg plus(Imperial gallons)
He said he had some issue with glow plugs but other than that it has been fairly reliable..........obvioulsy not a vehicle intended for the 1/4 mile though!
