These shocks may not be for everyone but they have been great on my truck. I have a 97 ranger with 183,000 miles on it. It is a regular cab, short bed 2wd XLT. 4 banger and all. since installing these shocks I have a much better ride. Yes it is a little stiffer than what was on the truck (cheap...

Does anyone know what the user notes on your profile page for? I just noticed them on mine and there are 3 pages of "user notes" all about advertising- Almost like someone hacked into my account or something. Should I change my password?

I have a 97 ranger, 2.3L 2wd. If I change the coils and leaf springs and put stock new in would it raise the truck up? Currently my truck sites level when I have cable (telephone wire) in the back and my tools. If I have alot of cable it starts to sag slightly- this is what I am trying to...

Hope this is the right forum, but does anyone know where I can get replacement bolts, washer and nut for the 6 body bushings. I have been spraying the existing hardware for a few weeks now 2-3 times a day with penetrating oil but everytime I try to crank on them they wont budge and I am afraid...

I have 2 questions- THE SCENARIO- I just changed out my drivers door handle with one I got from autopartswarehouse.com. I got the new one in and got the actuator to work (unlock the door) and put the door panel back on. Closed the door opened it, closed the door and opened it a second time and...

Well I got some new wheels today. I saw an ad on craigslist for used jeep wheels. They are 235/70R 15's. My original tires were 225/70r 14. What a difference in the looks! All for $150! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO UPLOAD A PIC. IF IT DID NOT WORK AND YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING THE DIFFERENCE...

ok 2 things. 1st- when I drive long hwy distance- my transmission makes a hissing noice (rather a long hissssssssss) when I down shift from 5th to 4th (as I am slowing down) Sometimes it will do it downshifting from 4th to 3rd also. Any idea what that could be? Truck info: 1997 ford ranger XLT...

http://southjersey.craigslist.org/pts/2127769978.html Does anyone know if this will plug and play with my 97 ranger XLT, 2.3 5 speed? Currently this looks like my gauge layout except I do not have a tach. Any thoughts?

After cleaning the MAF, IAC, installing a new air filter, fuel filter, installing a few new vacuum hoses I still had a rough idle. I even got some seafoam and ran in through the brake booster hose and in the fuel tank but still had that erratic idle. I planned on doing new plugs and wires but...

I just noticed my trucks makes this hiss noise when I shut it off. I replaced a couple of the vacuum hoses recently- was wondering if maybe I screwed something up- anyone ever experience this? Also- I noticed that my reverse lights were on no matter what gear I was in. I sat still and ran the...

On a 97 2.3L Ranger. I am just curious. I cleaned my MAF a few weeks ago but I want to see if the way I did it makes a difference or not. When I removed the MAF from the intake hose I did not remove it from the metal housing- I could see the little wires (sensor) so cleaned them with the unit...

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement seatbelt for my 1997 ranger- regular cab. It has the 60/40 split. I need the receiver for the driver side, which also houses the center seat lap belt. I called a local salvage yard and they have a belt from a 1994 but the truck has buckets and it...

OK, so far, I changed the fuel filter, cleaned the MAF & IAC, new air filter, replaced one vacuum hose. I am planning on having the plugs and wires changed next week. What it's doing: random sputter when idling. runs perfect otherwise, any suggestions?

So a few weeks now my truck has randomly given a rough idle when I am stopped and in neutral. I attributed it to a gas station that I had been getting gas at for the last few weeks. I removed and cleaned the MAF & IAC. I installed a new air filter & fuel filter, but the problem persisted. I did...

Just wanted to say a big thank you to TRS and the TECH LIBRARY. I changed my fuel filter today because #1 I bought the truck with 129,000 miles on it and did not know if it had been changed before and for under $20 why not? #2 The truck just started having really rough idle (almost to the point...
