I have a 2001 XLT 2.5L with manual transmission. I want to replace all the ebrake cables. How many are there and what's a good brand and part number to use? Is there one that goes from the front to back, then a left rear, and a right rear? I'm also not sure if I have 9 or 10 inch drums. I see...

2001 Ranger XLT 2.5L with RWD and manual transmission, single cab. 238k miles. Had this happen today in the picture. Looks like a tie rod? What all will I need replaced? The rack and pinion with tie rod ends? My shop lets me buy everything on Amazon or Rock Auto and bring it to them, but I'd...

I have a 2001 XLT 2.5L with about 234k miles. I notice small drips coming out of this area by the upper hose, but it's not leaking from the hose or connection itself. The hose is pretty new actually. I noticed after awhile my overflow reservoir was empty at cold start in the morning. Do I...

On my 2001 Ranger XLT RWD 2.5L engine, I had the shop that replaced my blown engine replace the refrigerant when they put in the donor engine. The AC worked fine for about a year but then it leaked out and blew warm. I just recharged it and it works fine again, but is there something that may...

I have a 2001 Ranger 2.5L engine. 235k miles on the radiator and all accessories. 125k on the engine. I keep getting sediment in the coolant tank every 1000 miles. Not much but enough to notice. I got a flush and it still happened. I waited about 3000 miles and went to the dealer since they...

I have 231k miles on my 2001 XLT RWD with manual transmission. I've had my drums and shoes replaced maybe 4 times in the past 20 years. Each time, the shop seems to leave my ebrake cable in some sort of disrepair or the drums and shoes themselves not properly working. Is there something...

I blew the head gasket on my 231k mile engine. There was some sediment in the overflow tank and it was empty when I checked a couple days later, plus the chocolate milk as oil. Replaced the engine with one that has 121k miles and looks in decent shape. Replaced water pump, thermostat, spark...

I had my 2.5L engine swapped out on my 2001 Ranger because the head gasket blew. Got a used engine to replace the old one. Everything is working fine with it but I noticed my air conditioner isn't blowing cold. It's not blowing warm. My AC would blow ice cold before. Is there something that...

My 2001 Ranger XLT 2.5L engine with 231k miles had the coolant at the proper fill line in the overflow reservoir. It stayed at the same level for the past 7 years. That's the last time I had the water pump and thermostat replaced. I noticed the other day the coolant was overfilled in the...

I ordered new Power Stop calipers and got the right part according to their website (S4606A). The shop told me the caliper is fine but the mounting bracket is wrong. I called Power Stop (their customer service sucks) but they told me I could get the S4606 that has a smaller bracket but same...

Finally have a nice day today so I will change the wheel bearings and pads/rotors. Took the dust cap off the one side and see this. Is that a bad wheel bearing or some bigger issue?

2001 Ranger XLT RWD 2.5L engine with manual 5 speed transmission. 220k miles. All dash lights are normal except what I'm about to describe: 1. Cruise control light on dash will turn on when I turn it on but it won't hold the speed anymore. 2. Parking brake light on dash only illuminates about...

I have a 2001 Ranger 2.5L RWD 5 speed manual transmission. It's a little hard shifting at times, not terrible but I'd like it smoother. Is there anything that would need to be replaced other than fluid? Can I use Royal Purple Synchromax? I believe it calls for Mercon V ATF. I think I need 2.8...
