Was all the 98 ,99 2.5 rangers power racks?Did they have a manual rack?They just upped the elgible truck to race at the track to 98,s and think we will build a new one.Anybody got a wore out 98-99 2.5?
 
I'm 99% sure that they were all power racks. They list a different rack for regular vs. extended cabs but I can't find any reference to a manual rack. The external dimensions are the same so, I'm guessing one has a better ratio than the other. As strictly a GUESS, I'd have to say that the regular cab trucks had a quicker ratio, as the extended cabs would have been heavier and needed more leverage to maintain "easy" steering. Interestingly enough, the electric Rangers list the same rack and pinion part numbers. I guess they must have had a hydraulic pump under the hood to run it.

Also, the same rack is used in '98-'01 2 door Explorers.

Too bad they didn't change the rules earlier this year, Citoriplus already got rid of his '01.

I,m pretty sure it should make a better race truck.It will be easier to adjust caster and camber anyways and with the rack,it should get some weight down closer to the ground.Maybe with some more hp we can catch some of the s10,s.
