The only thing off the top that I remember is that if the aftermarket CD player is wired to the factory amp (premium sound package), then you get no sound.
Factory amp (a noted POS) only works with a factory premium sound radio unit as non-premium units have an internal amp.

okay. that's interesting, but, the factory tape deck was in the car when i bought it, and it had the exact same problem - no sound from the speakers. btw, i think it is the " premium sound package." the factory speakers all said " premium speaker" anyway.
thanks for the input. |

There are very few tape decks that are premium sound options. It's almost all CD players from what I remember from my Ranger owning days.
Heck, it may have been the stereo that had no tape player included that was the other P/S option along with the CD player.
It's been too long since I've seen my old Ranger's manual for this...the truck's in Mexico now. Sorry.

I had a 1988 5.0. Still miss it sometimes.
Looks like yours is in fantastic shape considering the age. I remember years ago when I owned mine they were a common car to see on the highways and now they are few and far between.

Would look better with some '91-'93 GT wheels (I think they were optional on the LX).

The five spoke wheels looked pretty good on the car and always wanted those for mine. |
