    Why didn't it lift more?

    On the rear I did new shackles and perches. 3" longer than the stock ones. I cranked up the keys in front 1.5". The total lift I got in back was only 1.5". I have new keys for the front, just waiting til I get the tool to do it (and time). Shouldn't I have gotten 3" of lift in back? This is my...

    Rear speaker wiring

    I have XL 2007, that did not come with rear speakers. Where is the wiring that would normally go back here? Where can I splice in? I know at the radio there is the wiring coming out of the harness but where does that terminate? I hate to run wiring all the way up to the head unit and find out...

    New Ranger in the family

    Put down a deposit on a '96 for my son. It will be his first truck. Sold his SHO last week and we ran across this on Craigslist around the corner from my work. Needs cosmetic work and a cleaning inside, but mechanically seems to run out good. When he gets back home Monday, he will do the...

    Dome light flashes

    2007 XL 4x4 The other day when I got to work & parked, the dome light started flashing. Random like, and there was clicking coming from the SJB (passenger kick panel) I pulled the fuse (only works the light & horn). I noticed that is was marked with Sharpie so evidently, the previous owner had...

    What happens if I cut this?

    On this pic it is labeled V1. I have 1 located at V2 and suspect it is the DRL curcuit. If I cut it and am wrong, am I screwed? It is my DD. Jason

    Wiring fog lights

    Does Ford still use 1 harness like they did in the 90's? My 94 was wired for fog lights even though it didn't have them. (My 94 Stang was wired for a convertable, it was a coupe). I got the factory fogs, but is there going to be any wiring in my '07 Ranger or will I have to start from scratch...

    2007 Wiring diagram - lighting or DRL's

    I have DRL's on my Ranger. Supposedly, it can only be deactivated thru the OBD system or with some expensive Ford computer. Well I was thinking that there needs to be a wire somewhere from a board or box where the system would tell the light to come on. Might be at the switch or relay box or...

    Offered a Stang for the Jeep, but....

    The shifter is really hard. Won't start unless you can get it into Neutral. He says it is probably the cable. A quick search didn't reveal anything.

    New ride!

    2007 Ranger XL 4x4 4.0L automatic, a/c & cruise That is it! Rubber floormat, steel rims, no jump seats, am/fm radio. Just a truck. Just what you need none of the extra crap you don't! AND was blessed with a good deal because it has been sitting on the lot for months and no interest in it.

    Gear whine in Explorer

    My wife's 2003 Exploder had a nasty growl/grind in the drivetrain somewhere. Would only show up after warmed up and slowing down (like an exit ramp). I replaced RF hub (little play), Both diff fluids (correct weights), but after I changed the transfer case ATF, the noise is similar to a whine a...

    Need to decide between 2...

I have an '89 Ranger 4x4 & a '97 Cherokee Sport Both are automatic, 6 cyl, PT 4wd, high miles (213 on Ranger, 238 on Cherokee). Ranger tires are 50% & Cherokee is...

    Un nerving noise from wife's X

    It has been doing odd things. Replaced the RF hub assembly on the 03 Explorer (110k). All other 3 wheels are tight, that one had slight play, thinking OK great found the source of the noise. Pulled the diff cover off as well, all looked good (as I was told), buttoned it up and filled with Lucas...

    Frame "repair"

    I just bought my 89 last week & while trying to fix an exhaust leak I noticed a heavy duty C channel bolted inside the frame. Just in front of the rear spring perches it looks as if a new frame has been grafted in (both sides). Straight cut, welded and this HD plate bolted in. If this was just a...

    Exhaust leak @ cat advice

    Where the Y pipe comes into the cat, the gasket is gone. The cat has studs that are shot. I know I am going to have to cut them, but am I going to have to drill out what is left of the studs from the cat or can they just be "popped out" like a wheel stud. I just want to make sure I have...

    BFG air pressure

    When I got my Ranger, the kids had 50# in the BFG All Terrains. That would explain why it rode like a forklift. I dropped it down to 40 and it seems to ride much better. How much pressure do you usually run in yours?
