Ford Asia Pacific has released quite a revealing teaser video of the upcoming 2015 Ford Ranger heavy-duty ute. watch?v=uuwM7t21gsU

We have tried the last hour to bleed the clutch system. It is a 1998 Ford with the 2.3L motor, man transmission. Long story short is he is doing this as *cheaply* as possible, just installed a junkyard motor. While he was at it he decided the clutch disc was worn, and wanted to see what I...

'99 Ford Ranger with the 2.5, manual transmission, 205,000 miles. The engine has piston slap, my Dad is also cheap. He is getting an engine from the salvage yard and after inspection, the clutch disc has some wear. To save some $$$ he does NOT want to replace the clutch, but I talked him...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggestions how to do this? Got a old Ford Ranger Pickup truck, and why refuel gas cans when there is a tank of fuel just setting right there... I just got to figure out a way to add a gas nozzle. I'm thinking a...

Some John Deere lawn tractors have no rear lug nuts, held on a welded spindle with a key and retainer. But many lawn tractors still use a rear hub and lug nuts to hold the wheel on. Which is the better design?:dunno:

j39iTXlStz4 I actually like the retro Toyota logo on the grille, though the overall looks are a bit over the top. Not sure what else is really special aside from the Bilstein shocks. I am glad to see Toyota still putting forth a real effort with body on frame SUVs and offering a decent small...

Really? That is terrible, at least they trust us to be honest with the 'use tax' lol. OMG:

ATV riders already have to have a il sticker to ride in atv parks. There is no ATV trails in IL to ride one, all the money will go to enforcement and the balance of the funds will be siphoned off for something else. The next thing they will want to do is charge $15.00 a year for me to ride my...

How about INDEFINITELY! F'em! Get ready to pay the state $15.00 for just owning a ATV still no where to ride it (legally, but who does that?) Funny, people around here ride on the local PRIVATE trails, use public roads to get there, and have a 24 pack strapped to the ATV rack along with a...

This stuff looks AMAZING, So this should save my water pump as well?(no silica fallout) It SEEMS to good to be true(except the initial price) so would this be a wise upgrade to a new vehicle, it would seem, don't know anyone using it.(I've heard it used in some cycles, but don't know anyone...

What is wrong here? The power steering on my old '92 Buick Regal is moaning really loud, only quiets down when the engine is good and warmed up. It started after a long trip, got home after dark and that night the temps went down into the teens, next morning the thing is moaning like cow sex...

When will the cops start cracking down on this new trend of "doing stupid things on your bike on public roads for a video" Motto V-Logging has gotten very popular and far more risky and dangerous, thanks to youtube and Gopro cameras. How far will this go until the cops crack down? It's near as...

The relays that are under the NAPA Proformer line are garbage. I got a '92 car, about two years ago fuel pump died, we replaced the grey relay($10) along with other stuff. So now every now and then I would go to my car and my battery would be very low or drained dead, did this once every six...

Do you think the Nissan Xterra is a better trail rig than a used Ranger?
