    HELP! Hot rotors/hubs!

    I have a 1993 Ranger with manual hubs. I replaced both front calipers, brake hoses, and rotors and repacked the bearings. I have tightened the locking nuts down to spec using the steps in the service manual. I also greased the caliper slides and pins. What the heck am I missing?!?!?!?!

    Newbie questions

    Hey y'all, Just bought a 1993 2.3L 4x4. It runs but has some engine issues. My plan is to drive it until it dies and then rebuild the engine.

    Newbie

    Hello all, Just bought 1993 2.3L 4x4. Body is in good shape but the engine is rough. I bought this truck as a learning experience, I am by no means a mechanic. I hope to turn it into a daily driver capable of crawling through Florida's sugar sand trails.
