Just a small nozzle. When you say booster where is that on exactly located on the 4.0

I am trying to smoke test my vacuum lines and am trying to figure out the best spot to actually input the smoke to do that. The end goal is to find the probable vacuum leak that is forcing my AC to be stuck in defrost. Thanks for the help!

Could be a leaking vacuum reservoir or something. If the reservoir is bypassed it could also be the issue. 99 vacuum bulb/reservoir is on the passenger side underneath where the splash guard is underneath your coolant and windshield wiper fluid. You would need to remove the splash guard to get...

For anyone who happens to come by this post in the future here is a picture of the finished product. Here are some notes. The sensors that came with the part from Amazon worked fine. I have a Ranger 2003 4.0L engine so do with that what you will. To take off the very back bolt towards the cab...

Yeah this seems like a new transmission to me. What do I know though. Just imagining all my coolant mixing with ATF gives me goosebumps.

I figure I can just plug it in and see if it pegs high or not. If it doesn't cool. If it does just do the swap like you did.

Yeah I noticed that some have two and others one. I have the two version. From what I read though I am going to have to buy another sensor since I guess people were saying that the brown one doesn't work with the rangers. I am honestly not sure about that part.

For anyone who is wondering I got another coolant leak tester and it was the thermostat housing by a land slide. It leaks like crazy when put under pressure. I'm replacing it with this aluminum one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZH8Z9DV?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

For anyone curious, after searching this forum and the google machine my bet is the thermostat housing as I can see potentially a very small amount of coolant around the seems of it. When I get the replacement pressure tester I will know for sure, but I feel mediocrely confident that is probably...

So it is a 4.0l 2003. Leak is about 1 drop every second while running and coming from the passenger side. I got the Pittsburgh pressure leak tester and it worked about as good as anything else from my boys over at Harbor Freight which is to say the cap wouldn't fit because of a defect. Knowing...

Funnily enough, my dad said something to the same effect. Unfortunately I have not ever been able to find the roving bodyman that I guess use to be prevalent. With all that being said I have priced out a new bed in my area to be about $300, so that is probably the option I am going to go with...

That's looking pretty tempting lol

I mean if I can't find a straight bed I'll probably do it. I've owned a step side bed ranger before. Is there any actual advantage to them?

Thought about it. Just don't have a need in my life right now for a flat bed with the weight capacity of a ranger.

This is why I post stuff on these forums. Now that is an idea! Thanks! Might be a fun project.

Very much just considering this. Could be worse, but def could be better. What's not seen is the whole side is kind of messed up.

Dang your over here to! Thanks 2011Supercab I remember you from the other forums, and you have always helped me and my ranger woes. Good seeing you're still around.

Hey I have some pretty bad body damage on the bed and figure I am going to have to just replace it since I don't see how I could pull these dents out lol. Posting here to see if anyone has a different idea or if replacing the bed is the only way.
