    1990 ranger diesel conversion

    Rebuild the rear diff. Put 4.10s in my speedo is now correct with the 31s it seems to be a bit more torquey. I don't have it plated right now but took it around the block a couple times. I have the plates Off so I can try to get a few things i don't like done. Hoping I can swing the money to...

    1990 ranger diesel conversion

    I've got about 70kms on it. Minor things like going around and tightening up bolts. Caster needs to be adjusted but close enough to get the springs to settle in the front a bit. Going to just send it tonight and do a 200km trip to pick up a boat. Hero or zero time

    I don't know I bought the motor years ago. I dont keep track. I like the challenge of overcoming challenges. I just want to do it is all. But probably 5 grand ish. But you have to gauge what your skill level is and access to tools and stuff like that.

    1990 ranger diesel conversion

    I was thinking more like taller buckets. I like your thinking pattern tho. But to be a true motor head I'd need to drag this truck out to my front yard with the diff tore out of it and start a new project with one of those blue tarps but a ripped up one to flap in the wind until the truck rusts...

    1990 ranger diesel conversion

    So I got some free springs they are a bit big but thought I could just cut them down if I didnt like the height. Well I went to jack up my truck to discover the ball joints are shot on the bottom and the wheel bearings are even worse. I think this is turning into a sas swap now. I've found a...
