1999 Ranger XLT 3.0L 5spd I can't seem to locate info on the flaky oil pressure sender. For the last year or so my oil pressure gauge will read nothing and the indicator light will pop on. After a few minutes of the engine running the oil gauge will go up and down, and up and down, then it will...

I'm looking to trade in my 99 3.slow 5spd 4wd ext cab xlt with 173k miles(hopefully they will take it as trade...) in for something '03 or newer. I would prefer a Ford, but I want to get something I can be happy with for years to come and if that comes as another make thats fine. I go hunting a...

So I am sick of my 4wheel drive electric motor shifter issues. Randomly the truck goes into 4 wheel drive without putting the switch in 4h or 4lo. I have to turn the switch to 4h and then back to 2wheel to get it to pop out of 4wheel drive. I've heard that you can put manual hubs on to replace...

1999 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 5spd 4x4 So since I bought the truck a year ago it intermitently has been going into 4h on its own. It takes me turning the electric shifter to 4h then back to 2wheel to get it to pop out of 4h. Why it goes into 4h randomly on its own? I don't know, dang electric 4x4...

So I was driving around today and was about on my way home from my last stop, and the 4wd lights flashed 6 times. I got home, I pulled all the fuses and put back, did not change anything, also pulled all relays and put back, no changes. I started the truck up and the 4wd stopped flashing. So I...

So I dont have an owners manual so dont know what fuses to check, or what relays because idiots at ford assigned them numbers physically on the car and you need the manual to figure out whats what, instead of just labeling everything. Can anyone tell me what relay is responsible for the 4wd so I...

I heard of someone running their upper intake plenum through the dishwasher to clean it and it worked really good. I was just curious if you can actually do that?

Well Ive been noticing the fan kind of being weird, well to me, Ive never had a radiator fan connected to the motor. All my vehicles have had radiator fans that electrically work and kick on at certain temps. This fan is always on, and sometimes it spins alot faster than normal. Heres a post I...

Ok so when I start my 99 ranger, the radiator fan usually is spinning very fast for some reason, and is loud because of all the air its moving. It usually goes away within a minute. Well today I noticed it had come on when I first drove it, but later in the day, more than a few hours later. I...

Im curious if theres any products that actually work to help restore compression. I just want to bandaid my low compression in 2 cylinders for now until I can replace the motor this summer. Was going to throw some lucas oil stabilizer in the oil and give that a shot.

So I hooked up my new obd II scanner I got that also reads live data. I noticed when I first fired it up the timing was at 26* plus or minus 1. As it warmed up it dropped down to 17* and would bounce anywhere from 12* to22*. If I would rev it the timing would bounce to 26* and showed 30* a...
