Hey All, Been fixing this thing up for a couple months now, getting ready for inspection. My CEL has been on for a while & I've been trying to trouble-shoot that, but it's been driving great, so wasn't top priority. Unfortunately, this week something changed dramatically. It idles ok. Sometimes...

Hi all, I replaced my DPFE sensor a couple weeks ago. WOW! What a difference. Truck would not rev above 3200 or so. Now it will go up to 5k or so. Feels like a whole new vehicle. Friday I stumbled onto the throttle cable mod. Sure enough, even better! Can't believe how well it was running. So I...

This morning I saw a truck, not sure what kind, but Ranger-ish. I swear it was raised like 18 inches. Maybe more! Now I would understand (maybe) if this allowed it to go over bigger rocks or something. But the axles, rear diff, etc. are all still like 9 inches off the ground. Why spend so much...

One of my inspection 'fail' items was no check engine light (key in run position, engine off). Last weekend I took out the cluster, replaced all 6 illumination bulbs and the check engine bulb. I couldn't see any broken filament, so I used a 9V battery & a couple test leads to make sure the bulb...

Hi All, Part questions, part edjumuhcation, it's ...questi-muhcation! I have a 99 3.0L 4x4 off road Ranger bought two months ago. When I bought it the ABS light was on. Since the rear speed sensor (VSS) seems to be a common cause & cheap part, I figured I'd start with the low-hanging...

Hey all, I've had my new-to-me truck about a month now. There's this really big stranded wire that starts near the battery's neg terminal, goes down past the wheel well, inside the rocker panel & terminates tied up near the end of the rocker panel. It's taped up in the engine compartment, and...

Hello everyone, This got a bit long. Sorry! Like many here, I've been getting lots of help from you guys for a while with no recognition - so thank you everyone. I actually set up my account a year or two ago but never 'participated.' In fact, I've never actually posted to a forum, I think...
