  1. 4x4 4.0 to 2.3 Duratec Swap

    Hi guys I have a friend who has a 2002 4x4 Ranger with the 4.0 v6 and 5 Speed Manual and it's been blowing blue smoke for a while. He bought it used so who knows that the previous owner did to it but he was talking about swapping in something that'd get better mileage and I suggested the 2.3...
  2. E brake sticks after rain

    So I've had the same issue on both my Rangers, 94 and 97, that if I leave the e brake engaged during a rain or even if it's disengaged during a rain but then I try to use it shortly after, it will stick badly and I'll have to either rock the truck with my bodyweight or use the engine to knock it...
  3. Rattle During Idle with Ac On

    I bought a 97 ranger 2.3 2wd 5 Speed and it has a strange rattle when idling in neutral, but it's only audible with the ac compressor is on, and is louder if the headlights are on.

  5. 96-97+ ranger mpg ratings

  6. Crazy Rattling with clutch in

    Hi guys, I have a 1987 Ranger with the 2.9 and when I went to start it yesterday it made this terrible rattling/clattering sound until I let off the clutch. Trying to drive it was the same story, whenever the clutch was pressed it would make this terrible sound. It still seems to shift OK and...
