I have replaced both rear hangers on my son's 2000 Ranger. It is a PIA but it's definitely a DIY project. I took a butane torch and heated the spring eyes up until the bushing melted and I could push it out. Never took the springs off his truck. Makes a smelly mess but gets the job done.

My son's 2000 4.0 with 120k miles had a major malfunction. He was almost to work when the check gauge light came on, temp spiked to high and the motor started to hop. He was less than a block from work and managed to limp it to the parkinglot. I was assuming either a stuck thermostat or fluid...

Best I can find is it was around $2,000 new. My teenage son does not want to leave it on very long and I don't want...

Just picked up a 2000 4.0 Ranger for my son with 117k miles. Only major concern I have so far is the break pedal is very soft and you have to push it pretty far down for it to apply the brakes. Anyone have an idea to help correct this? Do the lines need bled, could they have air in the lines...
