My '90 Ranger has Bosch motors still goin strong & they're different than the others with the bolts for the gear assembly. It has a bunch of friction fit pins ?

RIGHT ON !!

Update: Had to remove the fan & clutch as 1 assembly. No biggy though.

Replaced the cooling fan Monday. Was poking around under the hood last week & noticed the fan had quite a few stress cracks. I replaced the clutch several years back & they weren't present. Went with Ford on this one (8 blade) because my truck has always cooled well & some aftermarket ones for...

With some blue mirror acrylic I thought I'd add something to the radiator support. See the clouds ? It looked too naked after I cleaned all the grime off.

My fan shroud states "LEFT HAND THREAD ON FAN CLUTCH" meaning reverse threads. I put a clutch on 5-6 years back & poking around under the hood the other day I noticed I need a new fan blade. Looks like I can remove the fan without removing the clutch, but maybe have to remove the shroud bolts &...

Thanks Ron ! (y)

So on older vehicles, let's say a '63 T-Bird, when starting it it's a normal occurrence that the current draw from the starter stops anything else (Such as A/C) from engaging/operating until the engine is running, w/the exception of any lights on that would go very dim ? BTW, are these Ranger...

Thanks Ron, So jumping the 2 wires @ the pressure switch won't bypass the WOT relay & it will operate as it should. Also, & I may have missed this, but if the A/C system was left on since the last time driving the truck, the compressor will not engage right away while starting the truck the next...

Can't you temporarily bypass the pressure switch if you know you have a good enough charge of freon in system until you get another switch ? & the WOT relay should still work, correct ? (To me the WOT relay thinks there's enough pressure so it will work.)

I know the oil weight is wrong on this label but is the Idle RPM correct ? (1990 2.9, AT)

Thanks ! So there is no Fuseable Link as well under the hood ?

Where is the fusible link ?

It's New Years Eve !! As far as "What did you do to your Ranger today ", well, I did drive it !

Don't know how you feel about buckets, but I went to PAP & got 2 right side ones (Deep type) & replaced the 60/40 with them. Gave me some more leg room as well. Then I got a console from a 1st gen Exploder. I like it a lot better.
