I still don’t see a point of attachment for the front part of the spring. Any other photos of that attachment location would be greatly appreciate. Thanks

This is the part that the spring would attach to. As you can see, there are no holes or designated attachment points.

Thank you so much! I’ll have to go out after the rain stops and take another look at mine. I’m pretty sure that it does not have those 2 holes on the bottom as yours does. I see that yours has an angled opening to allow the spring to easily slide into the hole. And thank you for showing that...

That’s awesome, thank you for that! I hope I’m not asking for too much, but there is a second spring further back also. It hooks into the frame and attaches to one of the cables I’m assuming. Would you be able to post an image of that as well? Very much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello all. Can anyone post photos of the emergency brake cable return spring attachment points? I know the rear attachment point is the bracket attached to the frame, but there is no attachment point going forward. My truck is a 2001 4x4. Thanks!

Good morning everyone. I’ve got a vacuum leak in my HVAC control selector switch. The assembly is discontinued from Ford and it looks as if there is no aftermarket replacement. Has anyone here found an exact replacement part or figured out a way to rebuild this, to stop the vacuum leak? Thanks

Hello everyone, I came across a sound insulator “pillow” laying inside the rear door of my 2001 Ranger XLT 4x4. It‘s a black plastic bag about 18”x6”x1 1/2”. Does anyone know where this insulator is supposed to be positioned? Laying on the bottom, it will probably not let moisture evaporate from...

Hey guys, I'm sandblasting the steering knuckle on my 2001 Ranger 4x4. There is a metal flange or race inside the Knuckle opening where the cv joint halfshaft goes through. It got pitted up from sandblasting. It looks like the rubber boot on the end of the cv joint is supposed to rest against...

Squirrels chewed up some evap system parts under my 2001 Ranger XLT 4x4, 3.0. So far it looks like they are the large hose that connects the vapor canister to the filter housing. They chewed up the filter housing as well. I can't find these parts in any Ford parts diagram. Would anybody be able...

HELP! I was removing my coolant/wiper washer reservoir on my 2001 Ranger. One of the fasteners clipped into the fender was frozen and I had to drill it out to remove it. Now I'm trying to replace it, and can't find it anywhere, including through Dorman. It's called a Clip Head Bolt. It's a bolt...

Hey guys, has anyone tried installing a gauge cluster w/tachometer into a truck that originally had no tachometer? Just wondering if the wiring connectors would be the same, and if the tach/RPM signal is part of the factory wiring harness, even though the truck didn't have a tach from the...

Hey Guys, I was wondering if someone could help me to properly arrange my plug wires on my 2001 Ranger 3.0. 1, 2, and 3 are fairly self explanatory, but 4, 5, and 6, I need help with. The wires were a mess when I bought the truck, and I need to know how they should be routed across the back of...

Can anyone tell me if the oil grooves in the rocker arm pivots (fulcrum) have to face a certain direction. I lined them up to follow the oil grooves in the rockers. Does it make any difference which way they're installed? Thanks

Can anyone set the facts straight here on the proper cylinder head torque specs for a 2001 3.0 Ranger? One method is the 5 step (37 ft lbs, loosen 1 turn, 22 ft lbs, 90 degrees, 90 degrees). Method 2: 1. Step 1: 59 ft. lbs. (80 Nm). 2. Step 2: Loosen the bolts one full turn...
