So . . . I remembered that my front brakes tended to be really sticky after towing the '90 4wd ranger earlier, and went out and bought new calipers and installed them, bled the brakes blah, blah. Was towing said ranger when I notice smoke, and then flames from each front tire area . . . and was...

I found today that the EGR circuit was cut in half by my exhaust manifold. It is a 460 and I am not sure what the routing is for the above mentioned melted vacuum hoses as intended by Ford. Any pics or suggestions would be much appreciated!

A friend has a 200something 2wd ranger and if it sits for a day or two as she starts it up and puts it into first or reverse, she reports that it feels frozen in place, makes a loud sound than starts to move, and it not freezing outside either. Any hints on this one ??? . . . Shane

I am trying to compute overall tire diameter. Here is my logic: 215/85R16 1) Multiply 215 by .85 = 182.5 mm 2) Divide by 10: 182.5 mm/10= 18.3 cm 3) 2.54cm = 1 inch so . . . divide 18.3 cm by 2.54cm to find inches: 18.3 cm/2.54=7.19 inches 4) Now add half the rim to it (7.19 + 8= 15.1 inches)...

I took my 4.0L 4x4 auto, 2000 Ranger in today for an inspection at a mechanic's shop, lately I have noticed that when I put it into gear, there is a distinct "clunk", I was suspecting u-joints, but I was told that it was a worn rear end, with some "play" in it. My question is . . . what would...

I put the truck in Neutral (2000 4x4 automatic), let it coast forward to release any tension in the drivetrain, and applied the brake while a friend twisted the driveshaft, he reported that the u-joints were fine, but there was a ton of play in the rear end, he was able to turn the driveshaft...

I put my truck back together 1990 2.9L 5 Spd. and did the whole finger over the #1 cylinder turned it over by hand till it went phhhhhht and then looked at the distributor and verified it was in the right place (roughly 10 or 11 o'clock) and then put the engine into the truck and buttoned it up...

Is it at ALL possible to wire in a 4wd tranny/tcase using 2wd tranny wire harness?? I am stuck against a brick wall. . . no local junk yards seem to have a Gen II ranger 5speed & manual t-case to steal the wiring harnesses for both to wire in my project 2wd to 4wd 1990 . . . I am trying to mate...

Converting from a Mitsubishi FM 132 tranny to a Mitsubishi FM146 . . . I am wondering if there are any wiring differences between the two ? Is it just plug and go ? I am also wondering what the function of the connector plug is on top of the speedocable that goes into the t-case?

I am putting in a manual t-case (from a 1988 Ranger 4wd) and noticed that there are 2 plugins . . . one is by the breather tube by the front output shaft and the other is right on top of the speedometer cable . . . what are the functions of these two ?? The other question is on the transmission...

I assumed it was just a simple thing to unscrew a few nuts, jack up one side of the body and spread the frame . . . I find that the body nut underneath the front door just spins in place . . . I looked around and not too much specifics on how to remove these . . . any ideas would be awesome! The...
