I was on the way to my Grandmas funeral about 30 min ago when my 99 supercab ranger (3.o overdrive auto) just went nuts. the "O/D off " light , ABS light, check engine light all came on and it started making neck snapping jerks between 1st/2nd shift. PRAYING for a quick fix. ( funeral is at...

I'm an older guy - and not in the best of health or finances. I used to consider myself a pretty good wrench. ( built my first dirt tracker when I was 14)But as it turns out this "old dog" doesn't learn "new tricks" very well .. COnsequenty I have been lost on top loaded transmisions, Mass...

I'm being plagued with pre ingition rattle when the engine is warm and I accelerate or put any load on the engine when it's in a higher gear. This is a 1999 3.0 with an auto 4sp. ( multi fuel) with only 38K on the clock ( bought it from an old guy that died while I was buying it). I have pulled...

94, 5 speed manual, 4.0L, ext cab, I've got a slow leak coming out of the upper section of my tranny, so naturally I suspect the shifter rail plugs. QUestion is - can I get to them through the shifter boot opening (at least enough to do the permatex fix)? Thanks
