It's been a while since I've logged on. So howdy everyone good to be back. I have recently aqquired an 07 sohc to replace the 03 I originally installed a while back into my ranger. However the wiring harness has 3 connectors to the pcm and 2 connectors to the main body. I'm trying to come up...

Alright I posted a while back on doing a explorer axle swap, which is done. Have everything up and running except for the ebrake cables I know it has to be done a bit differently from the stock cable setup but I don't know exactly how to set it up. It's not really in the guide which btw is very...

So I went out and picked up an expo axle. It was a bit rusty but mostly just surface rust. However right by the sticker on the passenger side it ate a bit into the axle tubing. It's enough to be concerned about as I don't really know the axle tube thickness. It's a shame really it's really low...

I am buying new bearings for my live axle swap. Simply put Timken or SKF and why, if you could please.

Alright I have swapped the 03 sohc into the ranger and got it started and it runs well. Anyway I have no oil pressure at the gauge. It goes into a ready mode and moves off the needle but when started does not move. I got another oil pressure sender (not a 03, i think its a 99) off an sohc, but...

Alrighty I'm replacing the a/c compressor and was wondering how much oil goes into the replacement compressor and of which type? Pag, etc. any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've searched and I don't see anything on this in the technical section at all. Does anyone have the vacuum hose diagram and possibly for all the breather tubes as well?

So i drained the oil and pulled the pan and found this.. Engine info: 2003 4.0L SOHC (38,XXX miles) Anyway, I did an engine swap to my old 98 ranger 4.0 OHV to 4.0L SOHC I put 38,XXX miles on it, so this draws me to believe that it is a very slow coolant leak inside the engine. Head gasket...
