To whom it may concern

So as a few may know from my previous problem, my engine ended up hydro locked from mudding and even after replacing oil twice and fluids once, new spark plugs and what not it still wasn't running correctly. The problem ended up being my mass air flow sensor, I unscrewed it and it had mud caked up all over it so after a quick clean she runs fine now.

As to my secondary problem my rear end had locked up on me and to my knowledge which wasn't much got some input from yall and other friends with rangers, so after that i seemed quite clear that i had to rebuild the rear end. So after saving a whopping 1300 I take it to a specialty shop and it caught me by surprise, my dif is completely intact and very healthy. The only problem had ended up being my passenger axle shaft and bearings ended up breaking which caused the oil to enter the brake drum and seized that up.

So after a hell of a month of freaking out and saving Its only costing me 450ish to fix the whole problem.


P.S. my ranger has an 8.8 3.73 which is stock but turns out shes open not l/s. for anyone who may think the same thing.

Cool. $450 is a lot of money, but it sure beats $1300. And now you still have $650 saved.

wow glad everything worked out for you on the repairs. I would say go buy a lotto ticket, but I think you used up your luck on getting your truck back on the road

I could get you a complete disc brake 8.8 for less than $100 all day long, my yard's full of them...
