I'm finally cleaning my truck! I've ignored her needs for far too long.

She's pretty, in a good way for a truck, which is weird....

Is the North America B2500 the same as the International B2500, which was essentially the same as the International Ranger, which is/was not the same as the NA Ranger?

She is a proud 5/10, and I love her.

There is so much to digest in that sentence haha. I honestly don't know (I am shamed).

I would assume it is the same as the NA Ranger, so different than the International Ranger. Someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right on it being the same as the NA version, i could have made that question even more convoluted and confusing if i thought about it..
Don't feel bad though, this is my old Ranger (intl) that was one of the last of that generation ('06).

Below is a B2500 of the same vintage (?-2006)

Nice truck, man. I like the last few years, stronger design in my opinion.

Perhaps I can leverage your knowledge for an issue I'm having. I need engine mounts, and I'm having trouble finding left side mounts. There are right side mounts out the wazoo, but no left side. My brother is a mechanic, and he has been talking to his used parts network. Some of the guys are telling him that the mounts are the same on both sides, and some are saying they are different. You have any experience with this?

Sorry mate, can't help you there. The North America market is so isolated from the rest of the world, there's a very limited crossover in parts, especially for USDM vehicles like these. The prevalence of the US version Ranger really throws a spanner in the works when trying to source parts or information for non-US versions.

It was extremely difficult for me to source parts, luckily I didn't need to. It was a 06 Ford Ranger, with a inline-4 3.0 non-turbo Diesel, which you try and find any information about on the internet, try i dare you! ... Some of the parts in the engine bay had Mitsubishi logo's on which made it even more confusing.

No worries, man. I wish I had a diesel man, that would be fantastic. It would certainly make it more interesting. I'm dreaming of being stupid and throwing a 2.0L ecoboost in it.
Mitsubishi? Damn, I feel better about my situation now haha.
