    Cruise control

    Not sure where this fits so I put it here, yesterday on my way into work. To pick up the tow truck for the week. I tried the cruise control on the 89. Seams to work great however it wouldn't let me set the speed above 55. Is this a normal thing?

    Driveline thoughts

    OK so we all know I'm working on putting the 8.8 in the 89 ranger. I'm trying to decide what to do with the driveline. So question #1 how much free play should the slip joint have forwards and back, the 8.8 is a bit longer in the bell housing than the 7.5 so with the original mocked up in place...

    Trans ?

    So the only thing I've kinda glossed over and ignored, and failed to mention is that the fm146 has basicly no first gear synchros left so it's basicly impossible to down shift to first without Rev matching. I do have a spare known good fm146. But if I sell the 83 or just not engine swap it...

    Tough decisions

    I'm contemplating selling my 83 ranger it's a good truck. But now that I have the 89 that is much nicer, bigger, easier to 4 0 swap someday if the 2.9 gives out. I would miss the long bed some. And I've put so much time and effort into getting it ready for a 4.0 swap. It's still a good running...

    Ideas about my new shifter

    So as you guys know I built a new transfer case linkage to use my 1350 on an m50d. One thing I have noticed is without the stock gated shifter, it feels like the gear detents on the transfercase are unsuited to keep the shifter in place. Now am I just being overly cautious, should I post a video...

    A couple ?s

    First question Does anyone know if a first gen clutch master cylinder has the ability to properly actuate the slave cylinder of an m50d, or do I need to use the 93 master cylinder. Second question I am going to be swaping in an 8.8 l.s. disk brake axle. If I were to use a 98 expo brake...

    Intake worries

    So I've been cleaning up some engine parts for the 4.0 today which has not been an easy task one of the nastiest engines I've ever torn down so much sludge everwhere. Any way once I got the intake 99% clean I started going over the sealing surfaces. The p.o. must have owned stock in permatex it...

    Speedo question

    Yesterday I test fitted the 4.0 cluster into the 83. While doing this I noticed I'd have to reroute the cable since the 4.0 cluster speed guage is in the center not the right side like the 83 cluster. Well its going to be too short, does anyone know where to find an extension it only needs to...
