I need to get a bigger compressor (I think). I realize that what makers advertise as "working pressure" isn't really accurate. In other words, 115 PSI at the tank doesn't give you 115 PSI at the tool or hose end. I need to have a minimum of 115 PSI at the hose end. What "working pressure"...

I (and a co-worker) just replaced the front rotors, pads and wheel bearings in the front and the brake drums only in the rear of my '02 3.0 V6 Ranger Super Cab. When we first did it I felt a horrible roughness up front when stopping. We brought it back in and loosened up the bearings a little...

The low speed fan (the one that runs all the time) went out on my '02 Ranger, the higher speeds work. My buddy told me there are 2 different relays/fuses, one low speed and one high, and the low speed one may be out. Any idea what he's talking about and where I would find and fix this problem...

How often should I change/flush the brake fluid in my '02 Ranger? :dunno:

It seems in the "old days" we used to change plugs every 30K or so. Can you really go that long without performance/mileage suffering? How often do you...

Not to long ago I replaced the cam shaft synchronizer because mine was squeeling. I got the part at NAPA for about $70. A buddy of mine who is a mechanic put it in. He told me there were basically only two ways it could go in, correct or 180 off. Is that true? He also said that if it was 180 off...

I have a '02 Ranger with a V-6. About a week ago it started making a squeeling sound at idle and when driving, it sounds like a belt squeaking. I took it to the shop today and they found nothing. We changed the belt and tried a new alternator. No cure, still squeaks. They said it sounded...
