I've got a 2000 Ranger 3.0 4wd with 235,000 on it. The truck is in otherwise good shape, but the engine just blew and the tranny has high mileage. I'm looking into having an Jasper remanufactured engine and transmission installed and getting pricing on it, but I'm not hearing great reviews about...

I have been driving around with my driver's side rear door with what I'm calling a broken bottom latch. When I close just the rear door, I can pull on the bottom of the door and it moves significantly. I've tried WD40 on it repeatedly to free up the latch, no good. I was reading that these...

Hi guys, just joined up yesterday and as luck would have it my 2001 Ranger 4.0 got a vacuum leak. It was pretty easy to detect as there is a 1/2" gash in the elbow of one of the lines. The problem is that I can't determine what line this is to replace it. The lines run parallel one on top of the...
