2004 Ranger has a vibration/shudder while under power. Does not do it when coasting in neutral. It appears to be from the front, floorboards vibrate, etc. I jacked the entire front up and off the ground and checked as best as I could and didn't notice anything. I took it to my mechanic who...

Truck died on me about a mile from home. I pulled the codes and it pointed me to ignition coil. I got out and inspected the area. I noticed that the bracket holding the wiring harness on to the valve cover was loose. its the small bolt right in the center of the picture. it has the wire with...

This might be the wrong forum but......I'm helping out a friend with a 2002 Taurus w/3.0 vulcan. His magnetic plate on the AC is fubared. Can I just remove the 10mm Bolt and the plate and be on my way without any A.C.. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

I checked volts with truck running and I got 12.05. with truck off I am getting 12.35. Belt is good, everything else looks fine. Interstate battery is 9 months old. I assume I need an alternator. I am having a little bit of a time figuring out what alternator I need. I have the "2 holes" on the...

It has been raining for about 24 hours. This morning when I started the truck the oil light was on/came on. I am not sure at what point i noticed the oil light was on. Truck had been running for a little bit. Truck seems to be running fine. I turned it off and then on etc. eventually the light...

When I switch to 4x4 high the 4x4 light comes on and I hear the transfer case. The truck goes into 4x4 but a few seconds later the light goes off. 4x4 seems to work fine and when I switch back to 4x2 it seems to go back to 4x2 fine! Any ideas? TIA Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I just dropped in a new radiator. Spectra from rockauto. I installed the radiator and the tranny lines without much of an issue. They both have a slight leak now, it's not dripping just wet when you put your finger on them. I tried tightening them. I will let them heat up and see if that...

went around a wet corner and revved it a little spinning the tires. the engine died. I was able to start it and get it home. runs rough. Pulled those 2 codes. fuel pressure is 65 psi. I did a little searching says it could be intake gaskets or a big vacuum leak. all thoughst encouraged. TIA its...

I am having an issue with the 2004 in my sig. New motor installed from an 09 a week ago. I have never driven the truck until the motor was put in so I am not familiar with any previous issue. The truck had a 5 month old current inspection sticker on it when I bought it with the bad...

Just picked the truck from getting a new engine installed. Pulled into a parking lot to look it over. I wanted to test the 4wd drive so a switched into 4wd high. Then I put it into neutral and shifted in to 4wd low it clunked into low and the light came on. I then shifted out of low into high...

Just picked up a 2004 Ranger 4.0. 130k miles. Owner say he drove it home one night and the next morning it would not start. They towed it to a shop and the only thing the shop thinks it could be is a slipped timing chain. I cranked it over and it sounds fine? I did not have a scanner to check...

I have a JY bumper cover that needs painting. Someone is going to spray it for me. He said I could go buy single stage Nason paint. Can I buy that online? Any thoughts on how to prep it? All ideas are encouraged! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I have had the truck for a year. It had a bad head/valve so the idle was always bad. I installed remaned heads. Truck runs good except for hiccups at idle. I cleaned the IACV but i don't think it is an idle issue. It idles around 725. No codes. I have heard that these Vulcans do have a crappy...

Occasionally when I shift it is a little tough. I also notice that if I double clutch it will free the shift up so that it is smooth. This issue just started. The truck has about 110k on it. supposedly the clutch was changed at around 80k or 90k. I do not know what parts were changed. I looked...

I have come to the conclusion that I have a burnt exhaust valve. I bought the truck in august of 2013 and have been driving it since. I will get a misfire at idle. I am past the DX stage and I am just going to swap heads. thus this thread. A local machine shop will rebuild them for about $275...

Should i put anti-seize on my belt tensioner bolt? TIA!

Posting for a friends truck....a 2003 Explorer, 4.6, 4wd, Auto. He had one front bearing replaced with a crappy part and it failed within 5k. Had it done again and I think it is OK. He wants to do the other side. What is the recommended brand? Timkin? Motorcraft(I was doing some searching and...

My tag on the door says I have axle 97= open 8.8 410. I spun the tires in the dirt and took a picture. The passenger side(left track in pic) was definitely deeper and more pronounced but I looked in the mirror and could see the drivers side spinning.
