im not sure i know what you are specifically talking about with ford mistreating the dealers. he mainly gets fed up with customers. i worked there over the summer as a parts counter/ parts runner. so i also found out what it was like. as to my ranger i just melted a whole in my #2 piston and ive been wanting to put this 302 in it thats sitting in my garage. just gotta get the funds and all the parts needed.
