My abs engages at slow speeds(around 5-6mph) Ive done some research and figured out that the problem is the speed sensor. On my 2004, can I just replace the sensor or do i need to replace the hub assembly? Truck is 4wd. If someone could pass along a link to a step by step or instructions for...

Im looking for new rims for my truck. I have 265x75-16 duratracs that rub at full lock. Looks like new rims will be 16x8(stock is 16x7?) Im getting a little confused with backspacing when the rim is also getting wider. I think i need 4" of backspacing or less, is that correct? I found a set I...

I was in an accident in my truck a few months ago and my hood suffered some damage. I have a 2004 ranger edge 4x4. I am wondering what hoods from what years will fit on my truck. I want the powerdome style(either like mine or the classic 01-03 one if it will fit and line up). Thanks

I was driving home the other night and the front tire fell off my truck and rested on the brake rotor. I probably should've realized the lug nuts were probably loose as the wheel was making some weird sounds, but I thought it was the wheel bearing on its way out(happened on the other side last...

I went to the gas station yesterday and was stopped for about 2 minutes while I put $10 in my tank. When I got back in my truck it wouldn't start-dead battery. I tried cleaning and wiggling the connections and even replaced one but got nothing. We tried jumping it with my girlfriends jeep but...

Truck is a 2004 Ranger Edge 4x4 One of my rear shackles is completely gone and the other is not too far behind it. I'm definitely replacing both of them. My options for replacement are as follows: 1.) Replace with Dorman replacement(part #722-001) 2.) Replace with Belltech 6400 shackles for 2"...

Im considering putting a body lift of my '04 ranger edge 4x4. The most popular kit seems to me the PA 3" kit for about $200. With the bumper relocation brackets, what happens in the event of an accident? What is the modification to the front frame horns? What happens to my trailer hitch? Do I...

I was under my truck today and noticed a decent amount of rust, especially in the rear(around leaf springs etc) but most of the frame is pretty much rust free. Everything's still solid for now and I'd like to keep it that way. Should I worry about it now or just accept the fact that I live in...

Well my dads '99 yukon is on its way out. Has around 190,000 miles on it, and the axle bearings are going/gone, among other problems. Need some opinions on what to replace it with. Must get good gas mileage(20+ mpg) and be able to comfortably tow around 3000lbs(4 place snowmobile trailer) He's...

I've been thinking about putting some sort of locker in my rear end or making it a l/s. I dont really need one as it is a DD street rig, but Id still like my truck to be fully capable and have no problems if I ever need it.(Plus I cant just leave things alone:icon_hornsup:) I did a little...

i need a drop hitch(or ball mount or whatever you wanna call it) for my ranger. Right now i have one of these 3 ball hitches but its too high to tow anything: Anyway, i need a drop hitch. First of all, what size do you guys think i need? Truck is stock except for 265/75-16 tires. Also, is...

I think i have found a way to have tracracs and a soft tonneau cover, without buying the ridiculous $600 trac tonneau. Im really excited about this and pretty sure it will work. stay tuned for updates

Came across an esab migmaster 150 NIB for $250. Cant find much info on it but from what I can tell its around 10 years old or so. Also, I think i've read that esab's are awesome welders, if you can afford them. Any input appreciated

havent been on in a while but i figured this is a good place to ask. Ive been in the market for a small mig welder for a while now. i have a few small projects to do and I want to teach myself how to weld. I found a Lincoln SP-125 plus mig welder. comes with 2 small argon tanks, 1 small co2...
