I'm trying to find out the specs for the Mazda Duratec 2.3L manual transmission for the 2002 and up trucks. The tech guide doesn't list specs for the 2.3L Duratec manual transmissions.

Is there a way to install a single DIN CB and single DIN radio into the factory radio location? I don't want to mod the dash or the surround. I was hoping there was an install kit out there for this like there is for a single DIN radio into the double DIN space. I can't find it if there's one...

I just redid my DPFE sensor and wiring along with EGR valve and tubes. It was running great with no issues at all and no codes. Coming home from dinner a few nights ago, it stalled while sitting at a red light. Restarted, but had to keep my foot on the throttle or it would die. By the time I got...

Many years ago, probably 25, a guy brought in an '89 with a second gas tank on the passenger side. It was a stock tank turned around and fueled behind the wheel well on the passenger side. He had a switch to chose passenger or driver side tank. It activated relays so the fuel pump in the tank...

I'm looking for a 98+ 4x4 extended cab truck, preferably with a manual trans and 8.8 rear axle. I'd like to find a complete roller with a dead engine/trans/T-case. I will be making a post about the project here and possibly on youtube. Seller can remain anon on any social media platforms I post on.

What size is the EGR tube nut on the exhaust manifold end? I have nothing that I can get in there to remove it. It's big. I want to try and find a crow foot wrench to fit it. Otherwise, I'll be trying to use my rotary tool to cut it off.

My truck is a 2001 with a 2.5 and autoshatic. Is there a radiator that will drop in place of the original? What about a Ranger 4.0 radiator or 5.0 radiator from an Exploder? What fan shroud?

2.5L sensor is on the side of the oil pump. I thought it was the oil pressure sensor but now I think it may be the cam timing sensor. I need a new connector. Mine is showing bare wires.

My truck has been down for a while. I went out to work on it and the heat shielding mat on the AC/heater box and firewall have been decimated by mice. They're hanging down on the exhaust. I have a 2.5L auto. Has anyone removed these protective heat shielding without any issues? I'm concerned my...

I changed my fuel filter yesterday. I had just over a half tank of fuel. When I removed the fuel filter, gas never stopped running out of the return line from the filter back to the tank. I stuck the fuel line into an empty jerry can and took the old filter with me to get a new one. When I...

I searched but couldn't find the answer. I know it was done before but maybe a different forum. My 2001 Ranger finally shot it's last shot on the way home last week. I found a 1995 Ranger that took a punch to the nose. Frame is straight and damage is cosmetic. When swapping to the newer 2001...

When I try to log in, I get a message saying "user not found". To be able to log in, I have to reset my password. I check the box to keep me signed in but every time I leave the site I'm logged out. This is a vicious cycle. I checked my browser settings and they are not set to clear log ins or...

I am having head problems (sticking valves) on my '01 with 2.5L. I can't find another 2.5L engine or head anywhere. Will the later 93-97 2.3L head swap over to a 2.5L? Those are not hard to find. I'm told by the junkyard that the 2.3 has vastly different sensor locations to the 2.5. I have only...

'01 Ranger with 2.5 and auto. My truck left me stranded. After working on it, I found the battery cables are bad. Does the positive cable make any stops between the battery and the starter? I want to replace it but I don't want to tare apart the wiring harness to do it. I thought I would cut...

Looking for a good 4r44e transmission for my 2001 Ranger with a 2.5L engine. May take a good running 2.5L engine if the price is right. Trying to find one close to upstate SC or southern area of western NC. I also need a good inside door handle pull not the one that opens the door. I also need...

This past Tuesday I replaced the DPFE sensor due to a P1401 trouble code and cleared the trouble code out of the PCM. The new DPFE cleaned up the idle and intermitting stalling problems. I had a high idle problem though, 950 to 1100 rpm. I drove the truck hoping it would settle down and the...

I went through the checklist. The heater core is good. The cowl is running free. The 3rd brake light isn't leaking but the rear window shows a couple drips an hour but not even enough to wet the hump inside the back of the cab. Checked the door seals and they are good. No rust around the front...

2001 2.5L automatic. I recently purchased a data logging scan tool and took my truck for a 20-minute joy ride. It's been running rough and getting about 175 miles from a tank of fuel. When I got back from the trip, I got the dreaded P1401 code and another response," vehicle operational...

First issue, the driver's interior door handle. When I went to shut my door, the interior door handle came off in my hand. The metal tore away. I'm a short old fat man with crazy he-man strength. Any ideas on how to repair this? I am looking for a new handle, screws, and clips as well if anyone...

The past couple weeks, I noticed that my AC isn't getting as cold as normal. Broke out the tools and average 40 psi low side and 160 psi high side. Compressor cycles on about every minute or two. All of this is at idle with the engine at normal operating temps, ambient outside temp around 91F...
