I FINALLY Swap The Engine Over! // '94 Ranger Frame-off Restoration

[@dave1135]

11:15 I've seen shops working on $200,000 Lamborghinis and not take the care you do with worrying if the chains will scratch. Sarah, you are a treasure.

[@darewolf]

This is going to be the cleanest old Ranger in the South West USA!!! Coming along great, wonderful video Sarah-n- Tuned!!!😃

[@tgvettes]

Ford might buy it back, they probably didn't save any Rangers!😆

[@timstraw8312]

The world…. None nicer! Thanks for sharing Sarah!!!

[@iwasofwhat8165]

... and authentic hand made...

[@SarahnTuned]

@@tgvettes It’s not for sale.

[@tgvettes]

@@SarahnTuned I didn't think so, my comment was just that I wouldn't be surprised if Ford would be interested in it!

[@AlEbnereza]

Fun fact Sarah, there’s a great camera tripod company called “3 Legged Thing” and one of their tripods IS called Dave. They name all their products after their employees. Their CEO also runs around in a chicken suit on their ads and videos. Totally your kinda humor. They make amazing tripods.

[@garyworokevich2524]

8:15 " I forgot to hit record...Oops" Cracked me up. One of your many charms. Keeps me coming back, to see what's next.

[@Owl_Space]

Dave is the best camera assistant.

[@richardstone5241]

I just came across your show and, well, kind of at a loss for words. GREAT CHANNEL!!! Subscribed!

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

Fav thing in the world, sit down and eat dinner when a new Sarah video drops!

[@RoobehTunes]

Having someone who is confident in their abilities working on a mechanically simple build is just kind of holistically rewarding to watch and probably build as well. It looks awesome now it's coming together. It'll be exactly what you'd hoped for at the start of the project and more. Great to watch.

[@coryshook7648]

You are an amazing woman and I cannot believe the quality of things that you do and your ability and your weird quirky funky funny ass things that you say. Your brain is brilliant and amusing. I love your channel. The project is looking better and better and I’m highly impressed.

[@ecyfoto]

You’re such an impressive young lady let alone such a competent wrench. I think your Gram’s Ranger resto is the most interesting project yet due to your intention of keeping it as close to factory as possible. Great stuff, Sarah!

[@gerardos.464]

Sarah, I admire your work, care, effort and fun personality. Greetings from Mexico !

[@michaelmccue72]

I love that, for all practical intents and purposes, you're going to be driving a brand new '94 Ranger in 2022. Amazing work!

[@betteheadbettehead4800]

Wouldn't it be great if we all had that chance? I'd buy another (new!) in a heartbeat!

[@AFTR-FX]

You have the most fun channel ever. Useful information, Easy on the Eyes, and a great sense of Humor. Thank you. 😊

[@brendawilliams8832]

You are a mixture of Sandra Bullock and Cher. BEAUTIFUL. Love your videos.

[@Grunt49]

Phils DeBoogie,1929 Tiddlywinks Champion,Lower Moldavia. Great job on the truck.

[@mikemoxley9477]

Love this older video series! Of course because it was your Grandmother truck. 🛻 But this truck will be great for you for years to come.

[@darrenloveday69]

There is a little 9yo girl living in Vietnam who won't go to sleep without listening to your dulcet tones....I haven't had to explain any innuendos yet, will cross that bridge.......thanks Sarah we think you're fab!

[@WadeQuick]

Always great, funny and educational for anybody that fixes cars. I liked your last video when you talked about the labor cost for a frame off restoration project….

[@williambarnebee40]

Pipe insulation on the chains!!! You're a flipping genius.

[@magnus9165]

This restoration job is the best most interesting build and project you have ever done.

[@davegillette953]

Fire! Loved the humor, vibe and content. Always look forward to your videos. Thanks Sarah!

[@thomashrubecky1663]

Seconded! Motion carried!

[@McTroyd]

Fred is awesome. Subbed to the U-Wrench channel, and learned more about automotive paint in two episodes, than I learned over the rest of my life. 👍️

[@glock22357]

IDEA!!!!! Have those headers double ceramic coated, and then heat shrink-wrap them. Keep under-hood temps as low as possible. Really important.

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Love the story behind this incredible build/restoration. Grandma definitely had a funky/great sense of style picking the color. This will be without a doubt the nicest 1990's Ford Ranger in the world when Sarah is done with it.

[@gniac]

It’s started out a shitty day but thanks to you I’m all smile now. Thank you young lady 😉

[@rugburnzz]

Seriously. Sarah's automotive knowledge absolutely astounds me.

[@paulm749]

The attention to detail you're putting into this restoration is remarkable. You should show it when it's finished. Seriously, because it's looking like it'll be show-quality.

[@Primus54]

An amazing amount of work performed in this video plus all the work you put into recording and editing. It’s no wonder you work 7-12s. And you can certainly tell how much you get energized and joyous working on Gram’s Ranger. Thank you! 👍👍👍

[@MartyG1957]

I love your channel Sarah. Not just for the content, you can find similar content lots of places, but also because of your quirkiness and how fun you make it, and the he said/she said, and for the "link" at the beginning of the video. All very entertaining 🙂

[@thomashvnmusic]

It never stops to amaze how mechanics with aviation background pay such great attention to detail. Well done Sarah.

[@Stuka87]

I really like the color of the trim pieces. They came out great.

[@SarahnTuned]

It’s the same color they were before! Haha

[@Stuka87]

@@SarahnTuned Oh, I know. I still like them :)

[@timglass6041]

Hi Sarah, The Ranger is looking dope, Love your videos, haven't missed one yet. BTW, Your makeup and hair look awesome. Keep doing what you do, We all love you.

[@jpiazzola]

I swear you must be a genius. What a great job on a worthy project. Keep up the great work and putting out these wonderful videos.

[@Live.drones]

These videos are a true testament of how entertaining you are. Because the idea of watching a 94 shitbox restoration is about as fun as watching paint dry yet you've got a ton of folks still supporting you.

[@hsandv70]

You do really quality work and show care for your vehicles. A true car lover !

[@howie2092]

Thanks Sarah for the great videos. I like how the Ranger is getting a few choice upgrades like the headers and shocks. Your attention to detail is simply amazing.

[@diamondbkr]

Great episode. Thanks for showing freeze plugs and motor mounts.

[@floodmonkey]

I think this is the only Concourse level rebuild I've ever seen of an old-ish truck. It's totally weird and awesome, which is on brand for Sarah. I love it.

[@dougjustdoug6391]

Hi Dave!

[@Delzona]

As a Ranger owner (2004) I've been finding the tear down and build up of the motor really interesting. I now have a much better understanding of my motor. Your presentation style is really enjoyable, keep up the great work!

[@johnkimbrell2378]

Your grandma would be so proud of all the detail work you have done.

[@denisderoche9963]

Really enjoying your videos and your builds. Love your sense of humor. Thanks for the education and the entertainment!

[@waynemurphy288]

Hi Sarah, I love your build of the Ford Ranger, I used to have a 1996 Ford ranger, and I love that truck. I love your attention to detail. I also love watching you build the truck, you are so good looking. Keep it up, ha ha.

[@erichinkle8522]

So happy for the bolt on headers. Just those little touches will not only make the resto a bit on the mod side. They don't detract from the ultimate goal. Sweet

[@HarlesGarage]

I have a 97 ranger that I am doing this to. Love this series, inspiring me to get back to work on it.

[@SarahnTuned]

Let me know if you need any parts, I’ll be scraping the parts truck in the next month or two!

[@iainhope7521]

Looks fantastic! On the headers, the flange is usually slotted. Put the bottom bolts into the head, slide header /lower it over boots and then install upper bolts.

[@tootsie5052]

That is going to be a very nice Ranger Sarah and I love your attention to detail. Like you, I like to "sweat the small stuff," the stuff you'll never see. I had to replace the front floor pans before painting the interior of my "53 Chevy pickup and when it was finished my brother went on and on about how great the floor looked, never mentioning how the rest of it looked. Now it's covered with a mat.

[@joethomas6457]

Clean is the only way to go. Get it Sarah. For my pleasure. Do an s10 next

[@garyindiana2127]

I've watched too many project videos that sputter out, it's very reassuring to know that this is gonna get done and done right, the whole reason I found this channel as I'm a ranger owner myself.

[@russellvoth5161]

Excellent Sarah, the truck is coming along very well glad you replaced the frost plugs. Keeping up with the humour is great.

[@richardtovar127]

Love everything you do, you make everything intresting , Where's the pigeons?? Love your humor! Please keep it up!!!!

[@williamhewes5941]

Liked the shot where you put the camera on the robot floor vac and talked to it. That was creative and whimsical. You are the best video production company!

[@keasbeydave]

Amazing work. The Ranger is spotless.

[@ClassicGBodyGarage]

Going to be beautiful when you are done!

[@allmywdwrk]

Your innuendoes are beautifully priceless 😉

[@Jakeborges1991]

I love that you’re keeping it stock!

You are the "Bob Vila" of car restorations.

[@garyworokevich2524]

And the Norm Abrams of haadware

[@brianpetersen3429]

Excellent progress! Looking great. Reminds me of when I rebuilt a 1959 Pontiac Bonnivelle that had been in a minor accident right after high school. I had no experience with cars at the time, but took on the project and restored the engine, 4 barrel carb, and body work. I always admire your care, patience and humor.

[@rossmarzano]

This content is so damn entertaining, cheers from Australia! Hot tip: when removing engine from the engine stand, hoist the engine and stand up in the air, then slide the yellow bit off the black bit. No surprises then

[@Chiroman527]

Although I'm soooo far from being a Car Guy, gotta Love Sarah -n- Tuned. Makes the day to watch you share your incredible knowledge of Automobile Mechanics. Your Gram must be smiling Down On YOU for sure. Keep On Keeping On!! Always lookling forward to seeing Sarah strut (excuse the Pun), her royal Stuff. "Everyday is Leg Day".

[@durnelth]

Love your videos for all the reasons expressed below. This is my most favorite channel on KZbin and hopefully you won't stop your fantastic humor. Couldn't believe you installed that engine alone. I especially appreciated the Hello Kitty top!

[@coolcarbon4709]

Great safety tip to close ones eyes when one blows...👍😊

[@eefneleman9564]

Your videos always make me very happy. Simply a joy to behold.

[@zzsuprazz]

I have very much enjoyed watching your videos on the Toyota MR2 and Ford Ranger.

[@joemanzanares]

Headers? I can stick headers on my truck? I'm SO glad you are doing this resto. You are feeding me so much info on my 94.

[@SarahnTuned]

Yep, just at a minimum use a high flow cat to keep the rasp down.

[@joemanzanares]

@@SarahnTuned Thanks.

[@evanharris5088]

Haven’t bothered you lately, but I’ve watched every video in the last three years. You’re doing great! Hope you are well.

[@cmdrdarwin3682]

This Ranger is looking awesome!👍

[@juancarloslozano3374]

Don't forget to apply ceramic coat to the truck bed before you put back the cabin! FoMoCo will purchase your Ranger, you are creating a collector piece! Your job is amazing!!

It’s so stimulating to see how great of a job you did with that motor! Awesome video again! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀

[@pauljenkins2501]

Oh. My. Days. That truck is looking incredible. That's tremendous work, Sarah.

[@GroundedFlyboy737]

Wow Sarah, you're knocking on the door of half a million subs! Well deserved!! Seems like just yesterday your content was all Mr Dos, and you and Sarah (Part Deaux) were headed up to SLC to pick up TaterTot and document your adventurous road trip home. Do you still use that ingenious swamp cooler in your tiny garage at home? Do folks still send you license plates and tools? Do you still head out to the desert to visit your old dilapidated car review site? Still a cat woman? Now the TT is being enjoyed by one your lucky subs, and the MR2 is the nicest one you could find in the States. That's a long journey from Air Force aircraft and AGE mechanic, it's been a real joy being privileged to see a sneak peek into that journey - many thanks for that. Your perseverance, enthusiasm, expertise, humor, music preference, and determination are all inspirational, as is your quest to do and be the best version of yourself. If I were in TUS, I'd buy you an adult beverage and raise a glass to your continued success!! 🥂

[@larrydavidson3402]

Absolutely awesome job on this restoration Sarah. Your actually building a ranger from the ground up and doing a great job of it.

[@karlhungus8006]

Absolutely beautiful yet totally unnecessary to do all of that work to an old Ranger...exactly how I do things...awesome job Sarah...PERFECT !!!

[@jean-sebastienrichard7564]

Amazing work Sarah! You are the definition of meticulous! And weird in a beautiful hilarious way!!! U rock Girl!

[@nicklutz61]

This is a really cool video! That engine is absolutely flawless. Attention detail, proper mods, everything clean and bright... you are like "All Girls Garage" but with only one girl. I hope someday you work on a real "super-car"; you've demonstrated your expertise on restoring cars and trucks to high levels of perfection, a super-car is the next logical step. Keep that awesome content rolling and can't wait 'till your next video! Sarah, you absolutely rock it!

I haven't seen a better technician than you ever. Wish I had a go to person that would do your kind of work.

Nice to learn about CS Performance! May use them for my 1973 Volvo 164E restoration. Thanks for the informative video.

[@screamineagle88]

Hey, kudos on the foam chain buffers. That was a great idea. If you like the body color (or the pully color) why not paint the pullies and valve covers the body color? If your doing the engine bay in black it will make the engine pop when you open the hood.
