'88 2.9 I'm looking for information on which relay is which in the right rear of the engine compartment. There are 3 fuel, ecm and one other. 2 are this type relay. One is light color and one dark, @RonD Thanks Rich

Hey guys, I need some help to identify what brand lift is on my 2K Ranger 4x. Best as I can tell it is 6" lift, anyone recognize the style of the lift box? I can't find a mark on any of the parts other than the part number on the knuckle. I am in need of a left lift knuckle as it got a bit...

My '88 ranger 2.9, manual, has been suffering with a cranking issue. I turn the key, the lights go out like they do when it starts, the starter does nothing. If I leave the key on in neutral I can jump the solenoid and it fires right off. This started last spring, I suffered with it for awhile...

My 2000 4.0 4x automatic, developed an issue a few days ago that has continued to perplex me. I was driving home when the 'check gauge' light comes on. Temp gauge is high, not HOT. It goes down, light goes out, a couple of repeats of this I stop, check, and it definitely isn't HOT, coolant is...

2000 Ranger 4.0 4x4 I have an intermittent check engine light for a slow O2 sensor, known malfunction. If it bothers me I turn it off with my Inova code reader. Got the light again, went to connect the reader and it won't connect to the computer, hot, cold, key on/off, engine on/off. Tried it...

I recently put some 1.5' coil spacers in my previously lifted 88 supercab to try to get it aligned in front. That went well, all I need to do now is adjust the bushings some to bring the wheels up straight. What I have now is the rear is significantly lower. It was before but now it's really...

2K Ranger XLT 4.0 4x supercab steppy, I have some intermittent electrical issues that I have been working through. I can't find a good inside fuse panel scheme for this rig. I found some in interwebz search but haven't been successful in specific diagrams. My rig just happens to have a 06/00...

I posted this in General, decent looks, no feedback . . . I did search through this thread and didn't find what I was looking for. What I need is where to find some longer, braided, front brake lines for my lifted '00 Ranger. Or what application works. Thanks Rich

I recently acquired a nicely lifted '00 supercab. I didn't like the heavy offset wheels that were on it and swapped them out for some soft 8's. Long story short, the right front brake line rubbed on the inside wheel weight and consequently failed. I was stopped fortunately. The truck had braided...

I'm working on an '03 3.0 Ranger. It won't rev above 3K rpm, at that point it acts like it's running on less than 6 cylinders. There are no codes, none stored. I replaced air filter, fuel filter and plugs with no improvement. The truck ran fine until it was stolen, now it has this issue. Any...

Does anyone have a clue as to how to remove the wires from Gen 1 loom plugs? I used the wrong cleaner on one of mine now the connection won't stay locked in the plastic plug. I can't figure how to get the plug to release the other connections so I can replace it. Thanks Rich

OK lifted TTB guys . . . I have an '88 Ranger Super with a 4" suspension lift. The camber is way off, as expected with the TTB. What is you all's suggestion for the best deal on adjustable bushings? My tire guys said that a shim adjustment would work but I think that the adjustable...

I had been wanting a winch forever. Finally found a great deal and set to figuring how to mount this up to my Ranger. I found an old transfer skid plate in my junkyard and started fooling around with placement. That was a bit too low so I messed around some more and found a place and a...

I put a dual gauge system into my '88 Ranger 4x several years ago after having the usual malfunctions and mis-functions with the stock idiot gauges. For this write up I am only dealing with Rangers with 2.9, with and with out a/c, and with and with out EGR. Specifically this is an '88 Ranger...

Late last fall I decided I needed a project for the spring and my daughter needs a ride. So after searching around I found this gem in the northern Nevada desert. She had a few cosmetic issues, but nothing that couldn't be dealt with. The truck was also minus it's 4ALD as the previous...

Hey guys, I looked but couldn't find the answer to this one so maybe someone can help. I am building an '88 Ranger xcab 4x, converting from automatic to manual. I pulled the ECM out of my '87 xcab 4x manual donor intending it as a replacement for the auto ECM in the '88. That is all well and...

I have been thorugh 100+ pages of this thread and would like a solid clarification on transmission application. I have recently obtained a very clean '88 Ranger XLT, x-cab, 2.9, 4x4, automatic w /electric shift transfer case. The tranny was removed for replacement but the project was never...
