Hi, I'm currently in the middle of replacing the diff on a 2006 Freestyle and cant find a way to get the diff out without removing the sway bar completely.

Hi, I recently had to take the heads due to a blown head gasket. Both heads were slightly warped so I got them resurfaced. Before I reassemble everything, I was wondering I should put copper coat on the Fel-Pro gaskets. Any suggestions are appreciated

Hi, Ive had some Aerostar "headers" for a while now that I got for a good deal. Has anyone succesfully fitted these on their 2.8 in a Ranger? If so what did you have to do to make them fit?

Hi, I durasparked my 2.8 and used the reccomended hot wire for the coil. It worked fine until it lost voltage about a week before I rebuilt my engine. Ive had to use a jumper going from the battery to the coil. Where should I begin to look?

Hi, tonight I fired my 2.8 up for the first time and broke in the camshaft. Everything went fantastic except now the starter wont turn over the engine now that the rings have seated. My first thought was that I seized the engine, but after taking all the spark plugs out, it turns over freely...

Hi, I was wondering what I could use to make new alignment dowel pins for my engine. I took them out so I could mount the engine on the stand, but it ruined them pretty badly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just thought it would be interesting to hear other peoples 0 - 60 times. Ill start. The best I've gotten from my 1984 Ranger with a Durasparked 2.8 and 4 speed with 3.73 rear gears is 12.8 seconds.

Hi, today I am going to be replacing the drive gear, bushing, and brushes in my starter. There is about an 1/8" amount of play in the shaft. I havent had the starter apart yet, but it appears the bushing in the end cap cant be pulled or hammered out. Whats the best way of getting this out...

Hi, I recently adjusted the valve lash on my 2.8 and must have done it wrong. The valves are still making a lot of clatter. The haynes manual says to adjust (X) cylinder valves when (Y) cylinder intake valve is opening. Does this mean when the intake valve is just starting to open? Thanks, Lucas.

Hi, now that winter is over I've been driving my Ranger more often. For the past week there has been small traces of white residue on the dipstick, it does not appear to be mixing with the oil. The oil is clear, no milkyness. No smoke out of the exhaust, no overheating or coolant loss, and good...
