I have a 17 year old Ford Ranger. I was told a Ford service department probably would know more abut an older vehicle. Set up an appointment to have the alternator checked. Took my pickup to them. Was called and told battery needed to be replaced and the starter replaced. Also engine cooling fan had a crack. The battery and starter were only about two years old. I was told it would cost $1300 to have replaced. I said the pickup wasn't worth $1300. I asked about the alternator, was told it would cost have have an analysis done on the alternator, and would need a new battery before it could be done. I said the battery and starter didn't need replaced and wasn't paying $1300 I went to pick up the pickup in the morning and they could not find any paper work or find the keys. Waited for a half hour. Finally some papers were printed out, but they didn't know here the keys were. I said I was just going to leave after waiting for a long time . They said I had to pay $89 dollars. Never saw the papers, I said I would not pay, they said I would be sent to collections. I said fine, do that! I took the pickup elsewhere, got a knew alternator. Battery and starter were good.
