85 Ranger. Has a 5TK in it. Just replaced flywheel and slave cylinder and did a clutch kit. When I try to crack open the bleeder on the slave it feels like its stuck shut. Maybe I'm being a puss and not trying hard enough?

Just got my 2.3t wired up. Started and ran fine yesterday. Would start right up. It sat over-night and now when I turn the ignition it doesn't even try to start. I've looked at it, and non of the wires look bad. I'm thinking maybe bad relay? I hear them click though. I've been able to bump start...

I just picked up a 2.3t that came out of a thunderbird, I believe an '88. All the wiring is there, even the interior wiring. I've noticed a couple wires have been cut (1st concern). I'm putting it in an 85 ranger. It had a 2.3 in it to start with so I figured it wouldn't be to hard to just drop...

I just picked up a dana 44 HP out of a '78 F-2Fitty for free!!! It's all torn apart, and it needs a long side shaft. I'm good with motors and suspension, but I can't seem to wrap my head around putting most of this stuff back together. I have most the parts I need, but it needs the hubs rebuilt...

I just picked up a full width 44 housing :headbang: I was reading a while back, can't remember which thread, but it said that James duff makes coil buckets that are space out to match the full width so I dint have to move the buckets at all. Any parts numbers or links to these? I found the ones...

I got an 85 2.3 it if a mustang. I just dropped it in my 85 ranger. I mixed and matched a little bit, just the upper intake manifold. I'm getting spark, and fuel. It cranks over strong, just wont start. Any ideas?

I have a 85 2.3efi in my truck, but I'm gonna be a 2.3 with a carb from my buddy. I want to keep it EFI, so could I just swap the intake manifold, or the head, or any other ideas on how to do this? also since I'd be using a non turbo ECU, would I need to get it reflashed?

I'm working on a 85 2.3 fuel injected. I have the head separated from the block, or at least it looks like it is. Pulled the timing, head bolts, and intake pulled out along with the alternator mounts. I've tried putting the head, but it still isn't seperating from the block. Any ideas?

Hey I'm trying to build a ranger for rigs of rods. Anyone on here good with 3d modelling or something like that?

I have an 85 with a flatbed on it. The brake lights work, but the tail lights don't. I don't know where to start with this problem but it needs to get fixed. Any starting points?

I have an extended cab, 4.0, M5OD. Recently when I've been driving I can hear a thud noise. It hasn't been that bad, but today I went to take my truck for a little stroll down main street and the thud/clunk noise got worse. It doesn't make the noise when I put the clutch in, but when I start...

I recently put a 4.0 in my ranger. The PO rolled his truck with the motor in it. Would that cause the rear main seal to go out? He went through the top end after he rolled it and re did all the gaskets. I'm guessing he didn't pull the motor out to look at the rear.

I just swapped a new 4.0 into my truck. I heard the motor run before I started the swap. I just tried to turn it on after many a words and thrown bolts only to have it idle up to about 3K RPM then it tries to die. On the passenger side manifold the two middle bolts are stripped out on the head...

I took my motor out, need to remove the flywheel. The engine keeps turning over. How can I stop the motor from turning over to loosen the bolts?

I have a 4.0 in my truck right now. I ran the crap out of it and now, well it just doesn't run so well. I found a 2.3T on CL for $250. I have the 4.0 M5OD transmission. Will the bell housing work for the 2.3T?

I have a 4.0 that has about 3k or 4k on it. It developed a ticking noise, so I put a quart of Marvel Mystery oil in it. Then the noise went away. I'm guessing it was a collapsed lifter. Then a noise came back, but upon examination with a screw driver to the valve cover it was not coming from the...

Well this is my second Ranger I've owned. I figured since I've lurked enough and asked some questions on TRS, it was time I show what I got. It's a dark green 1990 Ranger Lariat edition. Nothing special really. After lifting my old Ranger and doing a motor swap, I traded for this truck that...

I have a '90 Ranger, M5OD-R1 tranny, D35 front end, and an electric T case. I'm thinking, by looking at the tech library, that it's a BW1354. I got a manual T case out of a B2 (Unknown year) but its looking to be a 1350. When I picked it up from the guy there was, and still is, the front yoke...

M5ODR-1 tranny. It makes a ticking noise around the bell housing area. I know it's low on fluid because most of it leaked out of my plugs and the bearing wine is getting bad. I'm going to put another quart or two in, but this ticking noise is starting to worry me. It rev's with the engine RPM...
