hey there gombak mate

i recommend abang rauf@raup 4x4 worksyop in kg. melayu batu caves since you are from gombak.

his worksyop is located in the red circle in the map below. if im not mistaken his worksyop is the 3rd lot from the right of the building. anyway you'll see a lot of 4x4's such as pajeros in front of his lot.

so far my experience with him is good. good job with reasonable price for a 4x4 that is.

ranger usual cost for service?

engine oil price is dependent on what kind of lube you want to use. remember ranger need 7 liters of engine oil so that gonna be 2 4liters bottle of lube for you. shell helix diesel 4l is nearly 100bucks per bottle.

air filter around 15 bucks, diesel filter around 30 bucks. unusual cost? haf to ask the foreman lah hahahaa





hi other lyn truck,4x4 & SUV thread ramblers, a tukun ford ranger driver here guys
only now stumbled upon this thread.

hey guys, does anybody here knows the price range of ford ranger turbocharger unit from chop shop nowdays?

hi there ahsam

whats the price to repair a turbocharger & where is tong turbo located?

im guessing my ranger turbo is broken as there is a whirring sound sometimes when i press the accel.

just wanna know the current price range before going to a mechanic as fren told me it cost RM1k to change ranger turbocharger (chop shop one) last 3 years ago.

regarding to know if the turbocharger unit is in good condition, im thinking of letting the mechanic to source for it as he will be responsible it is in working condition.

im just guessing because the whirring sound is loud. previously never heard it that loud or muffled by the diesel engine. just plain old vroom vroom diesel engine sound pushing the ranger.

sometimes pressing the accel the sound "wheeeeeeeeee" is loud & clear. even in the cabin with all windows up & aircond full blast. one of my fren told the same thing happen to his ford ranger & it was the turbocharger turbine spoilt.

thanks for the information. havent gone to any mech or worksyop to check yet because i need the pickup for my job until end of the moth.

my current freelance job takes me to worksite that is inaccessible without 4wd. estate road, small stream, heavily eroded jalan tanah merah uphill all got man.

hope it wont take a large slice of my paypacket. crossing fingers huhu as i dont have a steady income in this trying economy time.

hey guys, i'm thinking of buying a new 4x4 double cab pick up truck.

between mitsu triton & yota hilux whish haf the best rear seat comfort?

currently haf a ranger @ home btw. so can you guys gave recomendations? sat in hiliux but never triton b4.

@gtoforce

if im not mistaken the back seat of a storm & ranger is the same in size.

@addedon

what about adults? my parents are 50+ years old and they are the main reason im thinking of changing another trcuk that comfortable for them for long journey such as in the highway. ranger back seat is 90 degree pacak man.

the ranger i had is 2001 model.. speeding 110kph @ highway @ 3000 rpm is kinda bising... looking for better gear ratios too in my mind.

navara with 6 speed manual gearbox quite interesting too.
