This whole problem started 3 weeks ago. I started my truck and let it idle for about 5 minuets and took off down the road. About 1-2 min later when I went to put the clutch in, it stalled as it went down to idle. Tried 4-5 times to start it, and it ran like normal. Drove it another 1-2 min and...

Where do you guys get your replacement vacuum tubing? My truck has the plastic lines that connect with rubber connectors and the only tubing I have been able to find locally is 3ft long which isn't enough and I really don't want to put a rubber splice in the middle. The guy at Autozone told me...

Found this little gem while researching ways to recover an ATV I lost off a cliff. Found it pretty useful, figured others new to extreme recovery that takes more than a winch or snatch strap would benefit from the info. Maybe we can make this a sticky or put it in the tech library if people find...

Anyone know if there are any differences between body lifts for gen 1 and 2? The 2" body lift is $50 cheaper for the gen 1 than the gen 2. The only place where I can see that it would matter is in the steering linkage.

This is my last major problem getting my truck back together. No matter what position I put the manifold and cat flange together at, it leaks. There is no gasket that I know of that goes between the two. any one have any tips on sealing this? The guy at the parts store told me to try copper RTV...

Replacing my cracked head today with a new reman one. Didn't think of it until now, but do I need new head pins (I think thats what they are called)? I think they help align the head on the block or something. they are in the rear and front corner (2 total). My block still has one, but the other...

Swapping in a 4.0 to my 91 2.3 ranger. My question is if the dash harness connector (big white connector) is the same on all engines for my year or if the 2.9 and 4.0 differ from my 2.3 on the dash side. I can find that the 2.9 and 4.0 interchange but not solid info on the 2.3. I assume it does...

This is going to be my build thread for my 91 Ranger "Bumble". The name came about because the suspension was so worn out when I bought it that it bounced off-road. And from the Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas special, we all know that "Bumbles Bounce!" I have owned it for just over 2...

Last friday my truck started steaming and loosing a lot of water through the tailpipe. Sucked 3/4 of my coolant out of my overflow tank in a 20 minuet drive. Its got 143,xxx miles. It burns about a quart every 3-4,000 miles. Did a compression test and got 120-115 psi over all 4 cylinders. my...

I saw a 2nd gen sport (looked like a white dixie cup with teal decals) this morning with mudflaps on all 4 corners that had Ranger written on them in ranger style lettering. Anyone know anything about these and where I could find them other than the jy? Should have taken a picture because i've...

Got a few questions, more just kind of curious. Couldn't find anything specific searching, didn't really know what to search for. I have a 91 2.3 2wd manual ranger with 141,xxx miles. Nothing fancy, probably the lowest base model you can go cuz I've never found anything saying my truck has a...

So the po of my truck really neglected the coolant system on my 1991 2.3L ranger. It has rust in the coolant still after 5 intense coolant changes, and I have replaced all the hoses, water pump (old ones fins rusted compleatly off) and thermostat last year when I did the last coolant change. It...

8.8 limited slip 3.73 price So I found a deal on a 8.8 limited slip 3.73 axle off of a 4wd 1994 ranger (the door code is R6) that the engine went out and he is now parting out. I have a 1991 2wd 2.3L ranger with an open 3.08 7.5 (door code 82). I know it will bolt right up to my truck and that...

This is the flexy pipe in the engine compartment from my exhaust. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Ok so this is what im talking about and what I believe to be my EGR. I could be totally wrong in thinking its my EGR but there is a flexy pipe that goes from my exhaust to this valve thing and vacume lines as well. Its before the stock air box. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
