    Hotwire/Push Button Start

    So the ignition cyl. on my 1993 demo derby Ranger is trashed...I can't get the key in it, and the collar on the outside (the thumb-finger-turny thing :thefinger: ) fell off. The truck has had an issue with the starter since I bought it (it works once in a while,you need to push start it), so I...

    Threaded shift knob install

    So I'm sick of my lame stock shift knob, and I have a 5spd 1993 demo derby/parts Ranger, sitting buried in snow behind the garage, with a knobless stick. I also have a universal fit threaded Hurst T-Handle that I had on my Supercoupe. By a stroke of luck I have 7-8 headbolts from doing a gasket...

    Idle Hanging

    High Idle My 1996 2.3L has had a strange idle problem for a while, mainly just this winter...so I guess when its cold out. It will hang up high, around 1500-2000rpm, in between shifts and when at a stop. Once I'm totally at a standstill, if I engage the clutch a little bit, the idle will drop...

    Engine Light troubleshooting help?

    I got a CEL on my 2.3 1996 Ranger (195K mi) the other day. I scanned it and it showed a P1120 - Throttle Position Sensor out of range. I ran a self-test and it gave a P1124 - Throttle Position Sensor out of Self-Test Range. These seem as if they would go along with my truck's inconsistent idling...

    Got some new wheels and tires!

    Found some powder coated 5 hole 15" aluminum Ranger wheels with almost new tires (like less than 1000mi. on them new) for $250. I wanted to replace my worn tires and corroded deer hoof 15" rims. My original plan was to just prep and paint the deer hooves and buy some general grabber AT2's but...

    n00b with Ranger and lots of ideas in WI.

    Hi all, I recently picked up a base model 1996 Ranger singlecab with the 2.3L 4x4 and a 5 speed. Its got 195kmi on it. I have lots of ideas for it, ultimately ending with a built turbo 2.3 or some other powertrain swap. I'd also like to repaint it, probably olive green with black bedliner on...
