Thread: 07 Ranger XLT or Navara STX

Stay away from the Nissan chassis snappers, there’s a reason the NZDF got rid of them as fast as they could for the equally suspect tritons in the same decade.

Also 07-09 PJ ranger/bt-50s suffered from EGR cooler failure and input shaft bearing failure., rectified fairly well on the PK ranger and Bt-50 2009-2011


Most people who have had bad luck with the ranger/BT50 utes of the era would have been stung by the EGR cooler failing and cooking the motor, then assuming it’s the head, remove and block the EGR and you will seldom have issues unless you are abusing and neglecting it.

The PK rangers we had at Fletchers all had well over 500,000 and showed no signs of slowing up (EGR removed from day dot) half a mil is easily achievable in a PK ranger with 10,000 service intervals, once you delete the EGR
