    Ranger Rick. 1987 Ranger

    Thanks. It’s been a very long time since I’ve worked on the truck. I do still have it. Just been sitting while I’ve been deciding what to do with it. My heart says keep building it. Maybe do some crazy fabrication stuff on it as a way to teach myself. Right now I’m planning on building this...

    2.3l turbo Piston numbers/ sizing?

    This is from my 2.3l turbo engine that is likely (from the block code) from an 1984 SVO. I pulled the head off to do some inspections. The pistons and the cylinder walls are surprisingly clean. From the looks of it I don't have to rebuild the lower end. I've just been trying to before I go...

    1987 2.3l Rough idle and sputtering

    I got this truck a while back and I've been rehabbing it slowly. I started to work on it and try to get things to run better but in the process I've gotten it to run rough than before. I've replaced my EGR and MAP sensor and cleaned the IAC: but the motor still runs rough and wants to stall...

    1987 ranger lowering beams and brake upgrade

    First off. Forgive me if this has been covered. I did search. I've been looking at fixing the front suspension and making it level. Im looking at getting the DJM dream beams and getting new springs and shocks. My main question comes from what kind of compatibility they have with upgraded dual...

    Ranger Rick. 1987 Ranger

    This is the 1987 Ranger that I just picked up from Craigslist for $1100 dollars a couple weeks ago. I was told that it has a motor from a 1985 Mustang SVO that had the turbo taken off: but, I'm pretty sure after looking around that it is the original 2.3L 4 cylinder engine and the guy I bought...
