    Auto Vs Manual transmission Crossmembers

    What’s the difference between the two? I have a transmission crossmember that’s stamped MANUAL but my truck is an Automatic. I’m being forced to cut the automatic crossmember to get it out, as the bolt and bolt sleeve on the bushing is stuck solid, and seemingly impossible to cut through the...

    Back up switch wiring for reverse lights

    Does someone have a 1992 ranger with the back up switch wiring all connected? I have the diagram for mine, but I can’t find the actual pigtail for the wiring. I think it broke when I pulled the engine and transmission out, but I can’t find the wires in the harness that goes past it

    2.3L ('83-'97) Strange idle

    My truck has a bit of an odd idle. Not sure what it could be. The engine shakes quite a bit, but I have all new spark plugs, plug wires and coil packs. It tends to shake the whole truck too.

    2.3L ('83-'97) Difference in Computers

    So I’ve got a 1993 2.3 in my 1992 ranger, and I’ve deleted the EGR. Will I have to go into the computer and tune it so it idles better? It still is reading for EGR stuff, but it’s deleted. Also, I have an o2 sensor but can’t find the wiring to it. Will I need to either tune it so it doesn’t...

    2.3L ('83-'97) Crank, no start

    Crank, no start issue. Added fuel won’t help either. Crank sensor already replaced 1992 ford ranger with 1993 2.3 engine Another question is do I need the matching computer to go with the engine? It’s the only thing I don’t have from the 1993.

    2.3L ('83-'97) Still dealing with a loud popping while attempting to crank over

    I honestly have no idea with this truck. Replaced a ton of parts it could’ve been, but none of them solved it. Any ideas? 1992 Ford Ranger 2.3 5 speed Replaced ignition control module, crank sensor, plugs, etc

    2.3L ('83-'97) Loud popping while cranking

    I replaced the icm module, and the crank sensor, plus deleted the egr system. Now every time I try starting the truck, it’ll pop loudly every once in a while. The battery died, so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to jump it, and see if it still does it. 1992 Ford Ranger 2.3 5spd

    2.3L ('83-'97) Engine issues

    So I just thought of this. Would having swapped engines out of a 93 ranger into a 92 ranger require me to use the computer in the 93 as well?
