    need firewall wiring help

    I know there's an electrical section but this didn't seem to fit. I'm swapping out the 2.3 in my 91 ranger with a 4.0 from a 91 explorer.

    need help with 5.38s in a d44

    this thing has had me running in circles. we finally got everything put together and the ring is barely touching the pinion! so we shim it all the way over as far as we can, and its still barely even catching the tooth. its like the ring still needs to come towards the pinion another 1/16-1/8"...

    whats a fair price

    for my skyjacker front lift brackets, radius arm drop brackets, coils, and shocks for a 4" lift? i might be selling them before too long on here and i was wondering what to ask. theyre in perfect shape and only have maybe 4k miles on them. im keeping the rear lift blocks/u bolts.

    ring and pinion brand.

    is one brand actually better quality than another? pricing out some gears and was just wondering about the smaller company products with cheaper prices. i was looking particularly at usa standard gears, and motive gears, as for a front and rear matching set would run me about $300- $350 as...

    how to tell?

    tomorrow if the weather permits, im going to a pick and pull to see if i can find a used manual bw1534 tcase. my question is, is there anyway to know if its in ok condition before buying it? do i just shift through all the ranges? hate to buy one 2hrs from where i live, and have it not work.
