1986 ranger

Hi I recently purchased a 1948 Ford F1 truck sitting on I believe a mid 80’s possibly 1986 Ranger frame. The 48 truck body glove box VIN plate is missing so I am trying to locate the Ranger frame VIN number to try to get the truck licensed here in Canada. Any help in finding where to search...

Been hanging around these forums since high school when I had my first truck, Isabella, a '96 4-banger ranger. Lean mean indestructible machine. Been looking for a square body for years and finally just grabbed an '86 V6 Extended Cab 4x4 from Georgia. Drove it 14 hours up the coast to the cold...

Hi, I own a 1986 ford ranger xl with the 2.9l and a 5 speed manual. I've also owned a 1999 ford ranger as well, that having the 4.0 and a 5 speed manual. I joined to ask you fellow mechanics a question on my 86 ranger. it has no spark, there's power to the coil it's a new coil new plugs new...

How we doin’? I live in the great state of Maine and although this state is magical in a ton of ways; it still eats vehicles. The DOT drops enough salt to rust out the best of them. Luckily my ‘86 Ranger 2.9L manual transmission came from Arizona, where apparently vehicles live forever, and has...

Ok, so I bought an 86 Ranger back in February. There were a few "minor" issues disclosed, but it ran great so I overlooked them. Oil leak, vibration at high speeds, power steering pump bad, brake booster hisses, etc. $1400 wasn't too bad for it. Body was/is in excellent shape. Tires brand new...

Hello, I purchased a 1986 ford ranger recently and wanted a little more umph and I saw this 1984 mustang with a 2.3L. My truck has a 5 speed manual I was hoping someone would know if the bolt pattern matched up, I'm not sure if the 2 year difference would make a difference. Thanks

There is a local offroad shop here that has a matching set of axles that came off a 79 bronco. There is the high pinont Dana 44 with radious arms and 4.10 gears and a 9" with 4.10s also. He is asking $500 for the set. Seemes like a good deal to me. What do you guys think?
