    AC only comes out lower vents

    So, after 3 months in the shop due to parts availability, I finally got the Ranger back yesterday. Engine pulled, main seal, transfer case seal, heads and valves done, on and on.

    4.0 Compression on 2001

    So, still waiting for my mechanic to have an opening to do the timing chain work on the '01. It's at 140,000 miles and runs very good.

    Found this in the oil pan..

    Took the oil pan off yesterday for a thorough cleaning and to replace the pan gasket and found this little gem inside. It reminds me of the old nylon timing gear teeth from way back but it doesn't look like a broken tooth. It's nylon but has a corner to it as though it broke off something...

    No voltage to fog lamps

    Hello all, fog lamps recently died and I have replaced them with smaller ones for the Mustang (due to an order mixup) and have found no voltage thru the wiring to them. All other lights works, brake, running, etc. I've cut the factory terminal off the old fog lamp harness to expose bare wire...
