Anyone know where there is a good step by step to rebuild the manual trans? I suppose I can call transtar. they may have an ATSG. It's getting really difficult to shift and puked black oil with tons of brass in it. :icon_pepsi:

I'm asking about the switch in the middle of the pic. low pressure switch? temperature control switch? with 20 psi in the ac system should i get conductivity through the switch or should it be closed?:beer:

If your filler neck cracked its a good idea to replace the gas filter. Its tricky, there was a spring barb inside the hose to pry out. Here is what a motorcraft gas filter looks like after 200,000 miles. it absorbed a lot of contaminents. I replaced it with a Fram unit that included some hair...

Okay, if you have an XLT this mod will take sacraficing cargo lights. If you have a XL without cargo lights this mod is for you. So, hit your local JY or pm me with a request and I'll send you one for some $ and get an XLT cargo light harness it looks like three bulbs and some wires. Now, cut...

Vintage is the theme of my truck. When it's done it will have some striking vintage throw back mods. Steel wheels painted bright red with chrome 14" trim rings and center caps.(I may favor thin steel wheels with moon style hubcaps and an actual bias-ply blackwall tires keeping up with the...

Anyone got any tips for recharging a 1996 with r134a?

Anyone who has a 1991-1997 Ford Ranger probably has a cracked gas filler neck. They split at the base near the tank. A dead giveaway is the embarassing leak upon filling up at the Kwiki-Mart. Every one I've seen in the JY is this way. so I ordered one from autoandart.com yesterday. I paid $30...

I have flushed the coolant system, replaced the heater core, and replaced the coolant hoses and I still slowly draw coolant from the resevoir. no visual leaks that I can find, However it does smell like coolant when it's warm. The truck is a 1996 2.3 four banger with manual with air cond. and...

My steering wheel has to be almost exactly straight to activate the turn signal stalk. anyone have any idea whats going on here? Actually, I think it's clock spring related. Has anyone replaced a clock spring or know how to tell if its bad?:sad:

Is there anything that can wear out on the steering shaft of a 96 4x2 with power steering? a buddy said there is a rag joint but im not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I can rock the shaft pretty well before the tie rods start moving. :icon_bounceblue:

When I "fill Up" at the pump, The Tank/filler tube leaks a lot of gas. Anyone had this problem? anyone know a good procedure for solving this? will this trigger the CEL? ^^^^^^^That is gasoline all over the driveway^^^^^^^^ J.K.:icon_rofl::icon_rofl::icon_rofl::icon_rofl:

I installed a leather wrapped steering wheel from a 2000 explorer sport. its the thick one.

I did the heater core replacement. I am now an official member of the heater core replacement club. I knew it was coming. There was a ton of rust trapped in the core when I bought it. Got an excellent core from the JY and installed it the same day. It was leaking at a steady drip once I removed...
