    Unusual 2.8L application

    This kind of blows my mind. Looks like a 2.8, right? But in this? From the article where I found it: " . . . . and then there's this 1988 Hagglund BV206 listed for sale on Hemmings.com, an armored all-terrain vehicle developed for the Swedish army. While tracked, it steers not like a...

    Older RBV question- what wheel came with the OEM full wheel covers?

    Probably a long shot, but maybe somebody knows, or can point me in the right direction for source material. The question: When a 1983-[unknown year] Ranger, 1984-1990 Bronco II or 1991-1994 Explorer was delivered with full wheel covers, what steel wheels would the truck have? I suspect that...

    Need advice on a Mitsu FM132 5th gear noise

    Just converted my 2WD '90 Bronco II from an A4LD to an FM132, from a '90 Ranger donor. The new trans shifts great, no noises EXCEPT 5th gear. I know about the weak 5th gear bearing and sleeve. In 5th I get a growling noise, really loud under load, and it almost goes away if I let off and let...

    Been a LONG time . . . .

    Hello Everybody My name is Robbie, and I'm a Rangerholic. Actually, it's been a while since I've logged on (like 10 years!), and I just wanted to say hi. Of course, I've been lurking, and looking up information and tips as I've done work on the fleet. Good to be on the forums again (thanks...

    Duraspark - not the usual questions

    1984 2.8, C3 auto, 2WD. I'm in the process mapping out the Duraspark conversion, which will include some major rewiring (power distribution box in place of the fusible links), valve stem seals and adjustment, and a thorough cleaning up of the engine bay. I'm keeping the Motorcraft 2150A, with...

    The Old Girl gets a cheap facelift

    Well, the old truck was getting a little ragged looking, so I decided to try my hand at painting her up. But, I didn't exactly have a lot of money to put into this project. Here's how she looked back in April. And, here's how she looks now. I spent a grand total of $218.09, not...

    Plug problem- thoughts, anyone?

    My '94 2.3L keeps busting the insulator around the center electrode on the spark plug in number 3 cylinder. It's happened 3 times now, so I'm thinking I've got some detonation or something going on in that cylinder. I'm considering trying higher grade gas, and also trying a Seafoam treatment...

    Good spray paint?

    Anybody have any recommendations for a good brand of rattle-can spray paint? I'm painting my tool boxes, and I'm looking for something that's formulated to dry extra hard, to be as chip and scratch resistant as possible. I'd like to not hassle with a spray gun or epoxy paints, so I'm looking...
