Just got home w/ a new radiator for my 2000 3.0 manual Ranger. Went brain dead and did not check out what was in the box before traveling home. The one I bought has the two automatic transmission lines inlets. I obviously do not need them. The inlets have the rubber plugs in there for...

Not the best picture, but check out this truck carrying his boat, motor, trailer and canoe on top of his truck bed. I didn't think weed was allowed legally in Virginia yet. He must be on something and it ain't smart pills. Picture was taken in Richmond, Va.

Just got a scan tool to clear the check engine light. It works on my 2007 Ford Fusion but not on my 2000 Ranger. Called the scanner help line and they say problem is more than likely due to no power to the Data Link Connector, (DLC). I do not see where there is a fuse for this test port. Any ideas?

First a little history. I bought my truck about 5 years back and am the 2nd owner. Truck came w/ 116 K miles on the clock and now has about 157 K. The truck came w/ an extensive service history all written down in a oily / dirty garage book. Golden for the next owner / me. I saw where he...

Anyone ever heard of this? I was researching about welders on the web as my El-Cheapo Campbell Hausfield dumped on me Friday. I was reading where your vehicles computer / electrics can be damaged if the neg. ground on the battery is not disconnected. I am familiar w/ electro-static discharge...

So I was just putting some overhead cab marker lights on the ride and having a bonding moment. I already have an Explorer overhead console w/ it's wiring inside the headliner. It is placed inside a wiring loom. Then there are the courtesy light wires and now the wiring for the 5 new lights...

Check out this low riding truck. A local Mechanicsville, Virginia man has a rat rod shop that gets real interesting at times. He has several projects going on right now. One being a 52 Chevy. 30's thru 60's model cars and trucks are on his lot all the time. Never spoke to him and assume he is...

I've finally got some pixs of my ride. I've got some Wheel Vintiques 62 series, 8" Steels w/ 1960 Galaxie center caps and new trim rings. The skins are BFG's 255 / 60R15's. I also included a pix of my shifter w/ the little aluminum, carpet covered, box. The box replaces that plastic tacky cup...

I did something yesterday that I've done many times before. I wanted to look under the right side of my 2000 Ranger, so I just put the ignition key into the switch to release the steering lock. I then turned the wheels hard right without starting the engine. I may have done this twice, not sure...

I saw a bumper sticker on a ratty 4x4 today. BUCKLE UP I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING. It made me laugh when I thought about red neck logic.

One issue to installing an Explorer overhead console into a Ranger is where to run the 2 Temperature Sensor wires. I didn't want to drill any holes into my firewall and could not find any existing rubber knock outs. I solved the issue by running a fish tape, from the passenger side roof, center...

Hello to all! I am not exactly new, but have not formally introduced myself. I am a Grandfather of 2 boys and I have 1 son. I live here in Hanover County, Virginia w/ my wife of 42 years. I have decided to make my 2000 Range XLT step-side my project vehicle. I have done a lot lately since it has...

Kowboy here; I'm curious if there are any success stories w/ the Hurst shifter install. Did you do any alterations, what year truck, how is truck driven as in highway town or hard and how long it's been installed. The problem with the internet is mainly the disappointed people post, happy...
