[V8] was allroad, now: gone to the dark side

[Dave Saad]

My '83 ranger, gutless pig that it is, is running better than ever after replacing the carb float. $10 part. My explorer never gives me any crap. In fact, after replacing ball joints, it drives as nice as new with 135K miles. I love my allroad but have to treat it like a crazy friend. Never know when it will bite me... but I would not hesitate to leave today on a 10000 mile trip with it. Sadly, the 83 is probably the most likely to make said trip problem free.
