    Calling out to all Ranger experts (Bucket Seats in Regular Cab)

    First of all, I recommend Seafoam Deep Creep instead of PB Blaster, you'll get those bolt holes out in no time. Then I recommend doing whatever you can, rangers are more common at salvage yards than t birds of that era. Unbolt the ranger passenger side seat and remove the 4 10mm bolts underneath...

    Calling out to all Ranger experts (Bucket Seats in Regular Cab)

    Well I got the miata seats for $75, no tears or anything. We separated the "track" part of the seat tracks bolted those two frame pieces to the floor and tack welded a beam across either one to keep the shape when we unbolt it. We took the miata seats which had the tracks still on the seats, cut...

    A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.....A guy buys a Ford Ranger and keeps throwing parts at it. But at one time, he had a dream, a dream that could come true with enough effort....he dreamed of bucket seats in a single cab ranger.

    Found some 96 Miata seats (black cloth with vinyl backing) in pretty decent condition. They look like they have a really skinny back, which I think will work. I'm gonna get my bracket mounted, take a look at em, and see how they fit. He want $100, which I think is a bangin price. You guys think...

    2.5L ('98-'01) 80-75 PSI on all Cylinders (is this bad?)

    Yeah man this engine runs just fine, I'm thinking the same thing his gauge must be off.

    2.5L ('98-'01) 80-75 PSI on all Cylinders (is this bad?)

    So I took my truck to go get the plugs, wires, and coils changed out and I asked if he could a compression test. I went to go pick up my truck and he said that all the cylinders were showing between 75-80 PSI. I said that sounds pretty low, he said that it's pretty common in older engines to...

    And I mean I hear people are using 91-93 explorer/Navajo seats cause apparently they're skinnier on the back, and people will even use another 40 seat, but I mean come on, no one can say yeah I love my stock cushioning on the split bench. If I have to fabricate it just makes more sense to get...

    Like I was saying, the prelude seats from a 92 look promising. Just finding one that's being parted out or take to a yard is a bit of a challenge.

    So bucket seats were optional for single cab rangers?

    Calling out to all Ranger experts (Bucket Seats in Regular Cab)

    I've been doing some research and honestly I'm confused and fed up with unclear results. I have a 1998 Ranger regular cab. I recently bought buckets and console out of a 2000 Explorer. I tried swapping the tracks, and the tracks were too narrow, when tack welded, they sat too high and close to...

    M5OD-R1 advice

    No way am I putting 1500 in a ford ranger, I love my truck, and if I could get an extra 500 hp out of that pump, I would. But no

    M5OD-R1 advice

    That sounds expensive and more complicated than just replacing the pump doesn't it? I mean I know the new pump is probably going to whine, what kind of money and work are we talking here?
