Interesting, thanks for the suggestion! Are you still enjoying and happy with the airbag option?

Okay, thanks guys - I also suspect the HC needs to be replaced but I wanted to check to be sure.

So a guy needs help diagnosing an issue on a 2008 RWD 3.0l 3 weeks ago when I started it and turned on the AC I had a blast of steam come thru the vents. I stopped and there was a really big amount of vapor coming from under the hood right near the heat exchanger. I did smell coolant and...

About a week ago I started getting steam vapor coming from my vents. It seems worse when I turn the AC on. Temp gauge is fine and shows no overheating. Mist vapor really does not have a smell. The first time I noticed it, the mist was pretty thick and I could see it coming from underneath...

Ahhh, you are right Grumpy. I posted this then did some research and found you are correct. Do you see any option to enhance my current leaf springs or do they need to be replaced?

I have a 2008 RWD Ranger. I ordered and installed KYB Excel-G shocks Details on shocks about 2 years ago. I use my Ranger to pull a 5x8 landscape trailer which weighs about 2,000lbs with my stuff in it. Anyhow, it's obvious that the rear of my truck looks to be sagging with or without the...

Great thread, very helpful. I have the same issue on my 08 3.0 and don't know if I am capable of this repair on my own.

Thanks so much Franklin! So I did get 12.22 volts on the wire connector which plugs into the blower motor and yet when reconnected the blower does not run. This still makes me think it's a bad blower. I will try your suggestion of running a ground to the violet/orange wire to see what...

Thanks very much Franklin - I hope you are able to see my signature with - 2008 Supercab XLT 2WD 3.0l - listed. If it's not visible I will fix that so others can see. It is an open resistor pack on my truck. I can't help but feel the blower motor is bad. Even when it was working about 3 weeks...

Okay, spending a beautiful Saturday with my head in the engine compartment! So, here is what I now know: 1. The 30amp blower motor relay is good - tested When I connect a volt meter to the blower motor connector (which connects right to the blower motor) I see 12.2 volts on the high setting...

Wow - thanks so much guys! I will give these suggestions a try and report back.

exposed springs pack, thanks

I diagnosed a bad blower motor resistor pack since I only had the highest fan speed working. I bought a new resistor pack and removed the old resistor pack which was fairly rusty. The connector was so stuck onto the resistor pack that I bought another kit with the resistor pack and the pigtail...

Hello - I have a side business and need to fill a water tank and then park at several spots in an apartment complex. The furthest I would drive is 1/4 mile. There may be hours at a time with this water supply in the bed of my pickup. I just replaced the rear shocks with some Monroe shocks -...

I have a 2008 Ranger which is still newish to me. I got a utility trailer which I use a lot. Initially the lights on the trailer worked fine. Then I noticed the drivers side tail light and blinker stopped working. I traced it down to a blown 7.5A fuse. I replaced the fuse and the lights...

Hello - I have owned this truck for about 6 months. There are no issues with the front suspension but I saw this arm (control arm?) and it is not connected to anything. I can't imagine this is normal. This is from the drivers side on a RWD model. I noticed this while spraying Fluid Film on...

The last time I replaced a Ranger head unit I just used the pin release tool and pulled the head unit out super easy. However most the videos I watch show people removing the entire bezel with the heat vents, cigarette lighter, etc. I have a OEM double din and plan to replace with a Sony...

My belief is you can install 6x8 speakers all around. Check out Crutchfield for some great recommendations based specifically on your model.

I previously had an issue with the cooling fan spooling / powering up at all times - sounded like a Mac Truck or that the truck was trying to lift off the ground, lol. The new fan clutch seems to help with this issue but the mechanic tested the engine after replacing the fan clutch and noticed...

I hear ya Ron! I know the battery was recently replaced so I should be safe. I will deff replace the upstream O2 sessor based on your input. I spent a little time reviewing the maintenance schedule, but is there anything else you can think of to replace now with 120k on the odo? I don't...
