Frustrating day! I had some column problems with my E350. Tilt did not work and the blinkers would not cancel. Since I had a spare from an E150 that I knew to be in good working order, I decided to swap them. Tested everything before I bolted everything tight and all was well. Found the floor...

I'll be resurrecting a 2003 Ranger I purchased as salvage. This is only going to result in a stock truck being returned to the road, but I think it will be interesting in terms of getting a nice ride for a good value. If you have ever wondered if it is feasable to repair a damaged vehicle...

Thinking of buying this. Now the bad news My favorite year and configuration. What to do? :icon_confused::icon_confused:

My first diesel, 89 E350 cutaway with a 7.3 IDI and an E4OD. Love it, but it really lacked in power and I could not get it to downshift with throttle. Would not hold speed uphill. Did some searching and the suggestion was the FLP sensor, (fuel lever position). In checking this, I noticed the...

Spent the day on my back changing my fubar transmission. I used to be able to bench press those things back into place, now it's all I can do to work the handle for the trans jack. Sheesh!:nopityA::nopityA:

OK, it's part of my V8 swap. The V8 part is easy, but the transfer case gets tricky. I believe the full size transfer cases that bolt up to, let's say a 4R70W are a little tight around the frame rails in a Ranger. Measuring my frame around the transfer case area says about 27" inside frame...

Maybe I'm just getting cranky because I got a ticket for speeding that I wholly disagree with, but it seems that the police are relying a little too much on their radar readouts and not enough on observation. I was driving on the highway today, not exceeding the posted limits, (and yes, I can...

How do you take this apart?

Need an ECU for my 5.8/4R70W swap. The engine came with D9EL. This was from an 89 E150 with a 5.8/C6. The local wrecker has a line up of ECU's on the shelf. Unfortunately, no pick and pull here, so I must pick my application and trust the Hollanders. What I've come up with is an ECU from a 94...

I'm looking for a good tutorial on electronic shift control All I seem to find is offers to sell me a $1000 shift controller! What I'm doing is putting a 4r70w behind my 351W and swapping the works into my 93 Ranger.None of my ECM's supported electronic shifting and I'm toying with the idea of...

Is this what you mean? :icon_cheers:

Has anyone tried to get or make a 31 spline input shaft for a BW 1354? I know the popular solution is a 25 spline output shaft for the transmission, but I think the transfer case mod would be a better solution. Any ideas?

I'm chasing down some ride quality problems in my hi mileage 93 Ranger. I'm experiencing a shake at highway speeds. My suspension is entirely stock and I'm running 235R75 tires. I also have clunks coming from underneath during acceleration and braking. What I have done so far is to balance the...

This is intended as additional info to an excellent post here. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/4_0-loose-intake-bolts.html Access to the lower intake manifold bolts is possible without removing the upper intake manifold. Referring to drawing A13496-1A, bolts 2,5,6,7, and 8 are...

First time post so please forgive me if this has been covered before. Did a search, but could not find a specific answer. The 4.0 is new to me and I have not yet learned all it's tricks. My 4.0 in my Ranger runs beautifully, does not smoke, but it does have a lot of clatter which, (I hope) is...

Hi, Long time off roader, long time Ford owner, just bought a '93 Ranger to beat the trails with. Great little truck, but it's already seen quite a few Km's, (350K). I'll be maintaining what I have, but I've noticed a few common quirks that I hope to sort out. I'll be searching and probably...
