    Weird Battery Problem

    Recently I've noticed when I start my truck up in the morning the battery voltage is about half of what it normally is, and it isn't getting recharged until the engine warms up a bit (headlights are dim and the little red battery light is on). Here's the part that's got me stumped: it only...

    Trying to locate a squeal

    I've had the infamous squeal for a little while now, and I'm stumped as to what's causing it. Here's what I've figured out so far: - The squeal is in the front of the engine, so it's not the cam syncro - It's coming from the driver side of the engine so it's not the alternator - Tensioner...

    Grabby front brakes

    Big tires on a stock off-road package?

    I'm looking to throw some bigger tires on my 99 Ranger for mild off-roading (basically playing around on dirt/sand trails and roads). I currently have the stock off-road package, but I'm going to put in some Belltech 6400 shackles, Explorer leafs, and do a little torsion bar cranking to level...

    Need opinions

    I'm looking to put a cat-back on my 1999 Ranger 3.0L for a little extra power (and to get rid of the rusty crap that's currently under my truck). I can't decided between Gibson and JBA. I'm keeping it side swept since that seems to have the best gains and it's the stock look. I also want to stay...
