It's probably a long shot and not sure that this is the right place for it but has anyone relocated the battery on a first gen? It's right about where id like my intake to be with the 5.0 swap. I'm thinking about just moving it back slightly to where the air box used to be on the 2.9

Hey guys havnt been on here in quite a while but I recently picked up a 97 explorer I'm pulling the 5.0 out of. Anyway I'm planning on a m5odr2 with a 4406 manual t case anyone running this set up? Looking to see how the shifter fits the floor. Also is there anyway to run my first gen a/c with...

So im getting tired of my cruise control not cutting out with the clutch so i was wondering how the two switches are supposed to be wired. I found the green wire for cruise control with the jumper however it doesnt seem long enough. Is it wrapped around somewhere or is there an extension wire...

so i think my throwout bearing is going bad again after 10,000 miles about just like the last one. the last one was a duralast one i think that came with the slave but the new one was a brute power one. are we doing something wrong? or is it just my driving? or is it just bad/ cheap parts...

So i plan to swap in an 8.8 for the 7.5 in my 87 supercab. Ive determained that my driveshaft will not bolt up to the new axle. I cant swap yokes as i believe i have the smaller u joints. I cant do a 1 piece swap as i have an fm145 so the one piece would be to short. I cant afford the $300+...

I have an 87 super cab that the front end is sitting to low for my liking i dont want to do spacers as im sure 24 years hasnt helped much. THe truck also rides like crap and its stock but i think that may just be bad rear shocks and maybe even bad front shocks. The bumpstops are maybe an inch...

Are there any hitches that i can bolt on that wont require an open end wrench to drop the spare tire if i ever needed it? Right now what i have for a hitch is really more of a "drop hitch" that is bolted to the bumper with a bar going to the bolt on the spare tire carrier. I might be able to...

is it possible for me to hook 6 speakers up if i connect the 4 factory ones to the regular wiring and connect the two new 3 way 6x9s (they were free) to the rear line out connected through a cheap amp? The headunit is a JVC KD-S630. Other wise would i be better off keeping the factory speakers...

Im confused on the connectors for the 4x4 lights. One my 87 ranger that had an electric 1350 i found the 2 wire connector for the lights. However the 87 Bronco 2 that we got the manual 1350 from there is no 2 wire connector for the lights its tied into a larger connector i believe. Is this...

I am looking for someone that is able to help me with cutting and rewelding an aluminum bumper off an old Jeep J10 so it will fit well on my ranger. I am attaching some pics of it in front of the original bumper. I would prefer it to be someone near Green Bay. I would be doing the work except...

How much lift will I need in order to run a 29x10.50-15LT TSL Thornbirds? The truck currently has a car 215/75R15 and the door tag said it came with 205/75R15 the speedometer is right on so the gear was probably changed. I know Ill have to change the gear again. Also will the axles still be...

I recently bought two nice doors off a 92 ranger to put on my 87. One of the doors was completely gutted other than the outside handle (which i later found out was broken) and the window parts. The other door was complete. I am putting in the latch from a 87 Bronco 2 parts truck in the one...

Where are the wires located for the dash lights for the 4wd and 4 low? Also what color are they? I swapped the electric 1350 that was in my truck for a manual 1350 and want the dash lights to work.

I have a 1987 Ranger Super Cab that I am trying to swap in the door panels out of a 89 ranger. I already have the inside handle and the armrest bracket in. What do I have to do to get the top of the door panel in place? I removed the felt from the door panel as the felt is already on my door...
