I had a 98' Ranger XLT 4X4, and now a 99' F-150 4X4 XLT Sport with the 4.2L The 4.2L, with mods, is a little butt-kicker, but hopefully today, I will get my 2000 F-150 XLT 4X4 Sport with the 4.6L V8!!! BTW, sticker on the 2000 is $27,500, the 99' was $24,500, and the Ranger was $19,400.

Here's something to try on your oil problem, lesson my mother taught me a long time ago. In clothes, to get one oil out, use a lighter oil to displace it. Try taking something like a little cooking oil and try working it into the previous oil, probably have to use a scrub brush. See if it will lift the other oil. Try it in a small spot first. If it works, then scrub the hell out of it with Mr Clean, carpet cleaner or comparable product. I have done this with jeans and seat covers where a mechanic put his oily behind with pretty good results.

If it's all on the vinyl insert, you could try a little paint thinner or solvent. Just go easy as some of these things are painted (believe it or not). If they were off color from the manufacturer, some were painted to correct the color. Know that for a fact as I used to inspect interior parts for a manufacurer many years ago and that's how we corrected color problems once they came out of the ovens.

Hope it helps.

Yesterday, my wife put a little scratch in the left front fender on the bumper section. Thank goodness it's all black cuz I just put in a little filler, sanded medium to fine, sprayed a little gloss black, and buffed it out this morning. Ya can't even tell!
