As I remember you are the one with the Ford Ranger  that would haul 17,500 
lbs but then a few month later was dead with a bad  transmission.  I don't 
need any of your mechanic advise thank  you

Charlie  I think you got me mixed up with some one else I do have a Ford 
Ranger It has  the original tranny in it and works great. I had 3 clutches put in 
it by the  experts at the Ford dealership in town. I told them it had a bad 
Slave cylinder  but like you they wouldn't believe me either. I took it to 
another shop an guess  what the expert there said "Ford Rangers have bad slave 
cylinders" Viola someone  actually agreed with me. 
Oh! you probably wonder why I had the shop do it.  well with my age and poor 
health and not having the proper tools its a lot  easier to pay the $750 to 
get it done.
And I hauled my hay trailer with  3 ton not 17500 don't get carried away 
trying to make yourself sound better.  

You might try getting your facts straight before jumping down on  someone.
 
Funny you guys will believe everything that Soundguy says and take as  gospel 
 without checking any of it out. I wonder why you thinks he so right  and I'm 
so wrong. I have been reading other e-mails that have agreed with me on  oil 
pressure and starting engines are you going to jump on those guys  too.

Just to make my point I said that if you don't have oil pressure then  you 
should checkout the oil pump to see why not just prime it and go on your way  as 
though everything is OK inside there. 
 
Better to know than to take a chance and lose an engine.
