    Hey guys, since winter started here in AZ my 88 2.9 has rough idle for a short while (longer if it's colder) and then idles fine once warm. If I check KOEO when cold I get these codes 18 and 54. If I check it KOEO when warm it checks out fine. KOER checks out fine as well. I am going to...

  7. Mystery part! Need help identifying

    Ok in the process of removing the 2.9, a4ld transmission and 1350 electric transfer case I found this mystery part on the ground.

  8. Do 1988 rangers with 2.9s have check engine lights

    As the title says, do they have check engine lights? I've read that only MAF vehicles had them and then I read another thread saying that 88 2.9s do have CEL. Anyways I do have codes on my truck but no check engine light on. Should it be? Need to know before I go to emissions testing.

    Hi all, The 88 ranger I just picked up is running a little rough. It's throwing codes 10r,41r,13r,77r,74r. I unplugged the o2 sensor and it seemed to idle a lot better. I've looked for vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, cleaned out the fuel system, and ran sea foam through the brake vacuum hose to...
  11. Where to get a 2.9 or 4.0 long block

    Hi all new here. I've called numerous places with no real answers about their long blocks and they want an arm and a leg for them. My question is, who's got a 2.9 with the good heads and is reasonably priced? Also if I can't find a 2.9, what exactly do I need to do for the 4.0?
