Hello, 2001 ford ranger 2.3 liter 5 speed. I had t-stat replaced 1 year ago and heat works fine. The coolant resrvoir has a tendency to get hot and antifreeze comes out from underneath cap. Thsi causes me to have to occasionally add to reservoir. The pat week or so, the guage went high as...

I found out the drive train balancer collar is loose on my truck. It does shake a bit at higher speeds. Nothing too bad. A mechanic told me to I can cut it off.My question is can I fix it i.e weld, screw it back in place somehow? Or does that mean I need a whole new drive train? Thanks

I posted about a loose metal coming from tranny. A transmission shop told me in the catalytic converter there is a honey comb that may have come loose and is causing rattling noise. I have no issues shifting. Or it could be a loose exhaust bracket. Your thoughts please. I do hear loose metal...

Occasionally, I hear loose metal sound coming from tranny. Just had master cylinder put in and it works great no issues shifting. Does this mean tranny is going? Also, they just put a lower ball joint on my truck and now I am getting brake pulsation at higher speeds. thanks

check engine light is on and code says p1537. I believe that is the IMRC. I ran the truck for a while without changing plugs and when I did , they were pretty worn out. Would this cause excess carbon build up in the manifold that can be cleaned out with brake cleaner? I was thinking of spraying...
