I'm still running the orangish/yellowish cop car ones and I've had no problems. Ive had them in for 30k miles. My cel still comes on every now and then but my rangers completely beat. It has almost no compression, has 180k on the clock, it burns oil and knocks at startup so the cel could be anything. Not to mention I'm currently having problems with my dpfe sensor. It's a 94 so it will still pass new York inspection with the light on so I never really tried to fix it. I believe my scanner at work can read obd1 (or EEC-V, or whatever ford called it) so tomarrow I'll try to scan it and see what the code is.

On a side note, it's great to see someone else with a 3rd gen 4 banger ranger. I think they're very underestimated as an ecomoddable little pickup truck. I'm hoping to have mine at 35mpg before winter. Make sure you look for my experiment in the next month or so when I convert it so all 8 spark plugs fire on the ignition stroke.
