I had a 96 4x4 5 speed with a 3.0 in it that started burning oil pretty bad so I decided instead of replacing the 3.0 I would just buy a donor truck with a 4.0 and put that in. so I found a 97 explorer 5 speed 4.0 with 130,000 miles that was wrecked. I pulled the 4.0 and threw it on the engine...

My friend has an 2003 ford ranger with a 4.0 v6 she's saying that she is having trouble starting it when there is a passenger or weight in the passenger seat. All it will do is turn over but after the person or weight is moved from the passenger seat it will turn over and and then eventually...

I have an 85 Ranger with the 2.8 and manual FM145 in it currently. The previous owners got this engine way hotter than what I would like. I also happen to have a 97 explorer with the 4.0ohv. I've found plenty of info on swapping the engine in but I would like to do it without the expense of...

Hi guys, I just found this place this week, and am planning on replacing the clutch in my newly-acquired 1992 XLT this Friday(8/14). I knew the clutch was bad when I bought the truck, however I was not aware that it was laying in pieces in the bottom of the bell housing, which I found when I...

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 Extended Cab 4x4 off-road. About three weeks ago, the engine light came on so I stopped by AutoZone to pull the codes. It was a misfire on bank 6. So, I changed out the plug and all was fine... for a few weeks. Then, the rough running came back and engine light...

I have a 2000 ranger and I am wanting to do some upgrades. My ultimate goal is to have solid front and rear axles, lifted and 35s. My main uses of the truck would be to go through major mud and snow and pulling out other trucks and small tractors since I live on a farm. Just need some advice on...

Swapping in a 4.0 to my 91 2.3 ranger. My question is if the dash harness connector (big white connector) is the same on all engines for my year or if the 2.9 and 4.0 differ from my 2.3 on the dash side. I can find that the 2.9 and 4.0 interchange but not solid info on the 2.3. I assume it does...

Sorry if this is not in the proper section. Problem: need a new y pipe for my 1999 4.0 ranger. I found this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-50206 and was wondering if it would fit. It does not have 1999 listed under the applications but I am unsure if it would still work. If anyone could...

I have a 1992 with the 4.0 and it started giving me issues recently. Checked my fuel preasure and changed the pump. Then couldn't get any fire so I changed the coil pack. THEN I quit fuel and fire so I changed the pcm and the truck ran alright for a short period and died and will not start back...

Hello everyone! I've of course got a problem with my Ranger, and can't seem to figure it out! First off I am not getting a MIL, and am sure the lamp functions properly. When I start the truck, it runs just fine, if not for a slight idle issue. At idle the engine seems to rev up and down, but...

Hi. I'm a new owner of an old Ranger. and the biggest problem i'm having with it is trying to figure out why it starts fine in the morning, then once its up to running temp, it wont restart after it sits 10-20 minutes. i get a crank with no start. it'll run on starting fluid until it runs out...

Long story short I've had my 1999 3.0L 4x4 ranger for almost 3 years now, and I have done 3 motor swaps already. Always swapping another 3.0 into it. For the last time I killed another one. I'm all done with 3.0's. I was going to do a 302 swap, but decided on a more cost efficient 4.0L swap. I...
