Either they had a pinto with a motor other then a 2.3 or their lying. Cause every 2.3 i have owned (atleast 6) have went to 250k my ranger went 385k and still ran with Under 20 compression on all 4 cylinders.I just replaced its motor not to long ago i wanna see if it can do 300k again if it does/doesn't it'll get a 2.3T!
