To determine the correct battery, I need to know:
* Engine size: The engine size will determine the battery's cold cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacity.
* Optional equipment: Features like power steering, air conditioning, and a powerful stereo system affect the battery's needs.
* Battery location: Some Rangers may have different battery locations (e.g., under the hood or in the bed).
Here are some ways to find the information you need:
* Check your owner's manual: The manual will list the recommended battery for your specific vehicle.
* Look at your existing battery: If you still have the original battery, it will have a sticker with the battery size and specifications.
* Use an online parts catalog: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and Parts Geek have online catalogs where you can enter your vehicle's information and find compatible batteries.
* Consult a local mechanic: A mechanic can inspect your vehicle and determine the correct battery size for your specific needs.
Once you have this information, you can easily find the right battery for your 1984 Ford Ranger.
