Whilst looking to help someone out on Sport Trac stuff I found that Hannemann Fiberglass is making flared front fenders, bedsides, and hoods for the 2019 Ranger. https://www.hannemannfiberglass.com/ford/ranger/

The Ford emblem did not come with the new grille. I cut the top off the OE emblem with a Dremel and attached it to the new grille with double-sided foam trim tape and some Gorilla Glue. Installation time less than 45 minutes (there is a helpful video on YouTube), it took longer getting the old...

Just a pic of the new grille I got earlier this year. Chrome started peeling off the OE grille after this winter, I suppose water got under it. Got this unit on Amazon for $90. They have a black one too. Just an FYI.

You have a Ranger "S" model. It was the low-line bargain basement model, a notch below a Custom. My cousin had one. 2.0 4 speed with a 3.08 economy axle instead of the 2.3 5-speed with 3.45 gears that the Custom got, black window trim instead of stainless, manual everything, to save a buck...

I used to have the same truck, a 2002 Off-Road and it rode like a cement mixer compared to the 1999 I had before without the off-road package. I drove a lot doing estimates for my company and I was worn out by the end of the day but I live in PA where the roads are not smooth. Of course that's...

I had to put one in my Sport Trac a few months ago. In my case it was on the inside firewall above and to the left of the glovebox door. Electric motors only know full speed so to slow them down you need a resistor.

When I had an 85 Mustang with the 2.3L I put cardboard in front of half the radiator since most of my driving to work was highway. The only way I'd have heat in less than half an hour.

Blend door actuator went bad or the blend door arm broke. It defaults to the defroster if that happens. Happened on my Sport Trac, blend door arm was broken. Dealer wanted $1600 to replace the whole underdash plenum. I took it to my mechanic for a second opinion and he fixed it for a...

Beat me to it.

Changed the oil and washed it. This would be the 37th time I've changed the oil since it was new. Every 5000 miles. Do the math.

I would advise not turning the torsion bars more than 2". It puts too much angle on the CV joints. The Superlift kit is out of production and getting difficult to find. What you have is fine. If you need more get a body lift. I live just down the road in Rochester.

At first I was like, "Somebody's having fun back there". Then after a while the sound didn't get any closer. Hmmm, yeah that's not a good sign. As I recall when I did see the Chevy the tires were pretty bald.

I got a pump from Harbor Freight, they don't have that one anymore but it's similar to this: https://www.harborfreight.com/110-hp-transfer-pump-63317.html I've run my power washer of of it with no issues. I thought about a filtration system but I live in town and the cost I didn't think was...

Came across this on YouTube.
