Hi people,
So my 2015 ford ranger 2x4 developed some issues on my way back from a trip.
Suddenly,the power dropped and started rough idling immediately,only for me to check the back and saw a great deal of white smoke coming out the exhaust.
Initially I thought the fuel pump was the reason,but no.
First of all,oil dey enter the plugs dey soak them.
Secondly ,the rings got bad,oil finds It's way to the combustion chamber,a piston got damaged that wounded the engine block too.
So my concern is ,will the engine come back to normal when all of this is replaced?
Is it worth putting the money in or I should just take that useless car to an open field and torch it?
I gave the job to a guy who took it as a contract and is the one to provide parts and labour,will only pay after repairs are done.
I hate this kind thing like mad.
Also the guy first said the block na 70k,later e claim say e no match,say e go Onitsha and na 150k last,I dey wonder how person use 2 hours from PH to Onitsha abi na job e dey job me?

Oil should never just start getting into combustion chamber unless someone had worked on the engine or the oil has been overfilled.

Engines just dont die like that.



What kind of engine oil or filter was used, what was the oil pressure reading, is the oil chamber full of water .
Usually when what you experienced happen it is because there was no engine oil or overheating.

But before any of this happened there would have been lots of warning

What of just buying Tokumbo engine?

What of just buying Tokumbo engine?

I don't even know if I can find a tomunbo engine for that truck honestly.
Options here are very limited.
Any ideas?
And na 2015 so I guess it'll be very expensive.

There has been a huge problem of oil leaking between the gearbox and the engine.I even called 9icetoo and told him about it.
I kept changing oil seals to solve the problem to no avail.
It kept leaking whether in motion or stationary,so I resorted to topping the oil almost all the time while I looked for a solution.
They said i have to let them drop the engine so that they can trace the leak,I refused because that truck is new and I know the moment naija technicians dropped the engine,that's it!Reason for my decline.
Now them no only drop am,they've ripped it apart.
Nna I just tire,truck weh I just buy and highly maintained.

That engine is not known to be faulty even on 20w50 oil. Except yours is the turbo engine.

Check the price of tokunbo first to weigh your option

If you can please replace the engine to avoid maintaining a money pit

I thought of this but if old hilux engine goes for 1.7m,imagine what this will sell for.
And there's nothing special about this vehicle that I have to expend so much money on,its a trading vehicle .
It's not a wise choice looking for it to be perfect.
If they can fix it and it moves,whether it vibrates ooo,make clanking noises or whatever I wouldn't care.
Will just manage it for sometime and throw it away,useless ford.spits!

Oil leak from the rear main seal is as a result of high oil pressure in the engine PCV/CCV clog. The solution would have been to drop the transmission and fix it.
I think your oil leaked out of the engine and you drove with no oil pressure.

Your bearings are toast right now and repairs might not be lasting due to the wear on cylinder wall. replacement of most internal parts too can be expensive because they will be new rebuild.
They will have to open it up to review the level of damage.

Search for your engine online, you may have to import a used engine or get someone to ship one for you.
Do you have the 2.3l engine?

I am changing the engine block to another one ,so I guess the wear on the cylinder wall wouldn't matter,would it?Since I am throwing the old one away.

You are planning to change the cylinder block but use the same valve head.
Oil starvation has effect on different parts of the engine. Everything has to be looked at to know level of damage

Boss seatrade, I remembered when you asked about purchasing that ford truck. Lot of folks said go for hilux. You even rebuilt your hilux engine shortly before purchasing that ford. I guess you've got a practical experience now. Ford ranger are good when brand-new considering our roadside mechanics. Well the ford engine ain't expensive like the reliable Toyota 2tr-fe. Try and dispose that ford within the quickest shortest possible time and get a single cabin hilux with 2rz/3rz/2tr engine considering your budget because of reliability most especially for haulage or distribution of FCMG.

Do you have the idea of price for engine of the ford ranger?
I am going mutsubishi L200 way now,got the 2017 L200 in December,
Almost done with the purchase of another 2011 L200,I think they are cheaper to purchase and run and are really reliable too.
Thing is finding a hilux is difficult unless you want to buy brand new which I don't see the point In buying a new truck that terrible roads will render useless in a year in my kind of work,plus task force that always attack our kind of vehicles with stick and metals on the highways and within town sef.

I should think so. What we have here is a LGAs Department of Agriculture guys who collect tax on behalf of LGAs from trailers and commercial trucks carrying agricultural produce, mainly on weekly market days. They are stationed within entry and exit points of rural markets only. I've seen them once on the highway though somewhere in Nasarawa State when you're approaching from Plateau axis. They don't stop private trucks even if you're carrying agricultural produce, but the rickety old commercial ones.

Harassment of southerners is part of the endsars protest, you won't be able to imagine how bad the roads can be for small businesses until you get into their hands

I agree

@Seatrade

If you look at the reviews online in markets where mini utes are dominant the top dogs are ford and Toyota.

Nearest Chinese is Innoson.

Unless you need to import something reliable from US like Tacoma,Tundra,F150, Frontier Ram, or Silverado. Those are the top dogs and they are not cheap in today's market.

If you engine is not totalliyou might look into rebuil or import from SA, or Australia
