Hi, 1992 Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6 and 4WD. I'm going to replace my rear stabilizer bar bushings soon. Does anyone know the thread size, length and diameter for both the frame mount and link-to-link bolts? I did some research but was not able to make a positive determination on the bolt dimensions.

92' Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6. I have the textbook clunk or thump when starting from a dead stop. It's getting worse and sometimes I get a second thump after the initial thump while accelerating. I spent time looking at everything under the truck and I didn't see anything. I'm pretty sure the...

I have a 'thump' and shuddering from underneath my truck. It seems like classic bad motor mount symptom. But I don't know yet. It might be something else. The motor mounts were replaced in 2015. I'm scheduled to get a warranty repair on my transmission in the coming days. The transmission shop...

I'm not sure this is the correct sub forum. 92' Ford Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6 and push button 4WD. I have a very old transfer case with over 500,000 miles. It has caused driveshaft 'slop' for years. I might have no further need for it, and my 4WD is broke anyway. I talked to a local driveshaft...

Hi, 92' Ford Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6. My parking brakes barely engage when tested. I replaced the cables last year with a rear axle assembly swap . Notice how that cable fitting is not seated into the drum brake backing plate hole? Would that prevent the parking brakes from pressing onto the...

92' Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6. I'd like to replace my original intermediate steering shaft. I don't like the rag disc coupling design and the shaft is cut 1/3 of the way through by a careless mechanic years ago. The guy at Borgeson is confident I can assemble a new telescopic steering shaft that...

92' Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6 and push button 4WD. I just replaced a leaky rear axle wheel seal today. I heard that clogged axle tube vents can cause the rear bearing seal to leak gear oil. I know of one pin hole vent on top of the axle tube. I checked it today. Are there any more of these vents I...

Hello, 92' Ford Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6 and push button 4WD. I bent one of the rear drum brake wheel cylinder push rods on my truck. It looks like they no longer sell these for my make/model and year. But the ones they sell for other vehicles look exactly like mine. Here is what it looks like...

I'm replacing the original rear leaf springs on my 92' Ford Ranger XLT 2.9 V6. 4WD is broke and I don't use it. Leaf springs generally cost around $220 where I live. I found one brand at one of the major auto parts chains that is about $110 cheaper that all the others. It makes me wonder why...

In a recent discussion, I described the problem of having a stuck brake drum. I had to pound it off. A couple of you were saying you use a lubricant to prevent seized brake drums. Can you be more specific on exactly where you apply the lubricant on what lubricant you use?

I ran into a problem while working on rear axle assembly replacement. I can't get one of the brake drums off. If I can't get it off today, I'll have to sever the parking brake cable to remove the old axle assembly. My drum brake adjusting spoon was stolen. So maybe it's because I was using a...

92' Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6. It's time to change my spark plugs. For many years. I have used the standard, cheap Motorcraft SP419 plugs. I am planning on installing the SP486 platinum fine-wire plugs because these are supposed to last longer. Are there any disadvantages in using these fine-wire...

I have a 92' Ranger XLT with 2.9 V6. I need to test my alternator/voltage regulator for excessive voltage, with my multi-meter. The instructions in the manual say connect the positive lead to the alternator output connection at the starter relay. I included a photo of the starter relay. Which...
