I have done a 1988 2.9 auto to manual swap with success, so I am starting to research the same type swap for a 1991 with a 4.0. I am reading that the bolt patterns are the same between the 4.0 and the 2.9/2.8? is this correct? What year trucks can I pull from the wrecking yard to find a...

I have a pretty much stock 88 ranger, lifted a couple inches. I want to drive across beaches and through axle high sandy rivers to get driftwood to burn in my fireplace, but its loose coarse black sand. What would you do to make a reliable sand truck? bigger tires? lockers? I have no idea.

Ive bled the son of a bitch over and over and I have good pedal feel, but it will not disengage the clutch. is it possible the clutch has rusted to the flywheel after sitting for the winter? even with the clutch pushed in, it will start as if the clutch was all the way out and start in gear...

Thought you all might get a kick out of this.

ok keep in mind I live in Kodiak, AK and I cant just roll down to my local 18 inch tire dealer and test out a wide variety of 18 inch tires. Gotta get this shit right the first time. I found some 18s by the dumpster and I snagged them to see if they would fit on the ranger. holy shit they...

and 88 ranger that came without the tach will not accept the gauge cluster from an 88 ranger with the tach. suck.

Three trucks, 2 are 88s that I own, one is a 91 that is a work truck. all three of them idle at 1200 rpm. tried three different ECTs. bought a new one. plugged it in and stuck it in a pan of boiling water. removed IAC and moves freely. placed 12volts across pins and it actuates the...
