2.9

How bad is the install process for the rostra kit? (Link to Rostra Kit) It looks decently simple but I'm not the best with electrical work Thank you!

Good morning ranger station. I've posted pretty much this exact same thing probably 2 or 3 times. My 2.9 has a shudder/shaking issue and has since the day I got it running after buying it. This is probably my 4th or 5th time having this problem randomly just show up one day when I get in to...

Hey guys, so since my last post, I got my 2.9 put back together, in the truck, and it's running like a champ, purring like a kitten. You see the only issue that I'm having, which as I understand, is a 2.9 "thing" is that my idle won't go down no matter what I do to it. If I start the truck and...

Alright, guys, I need your collective ford knowledge for the little predicament I'm in. I'm on my second 2.9 rebuild and I'm slowly learning from my mistakes from the first time I tried this. I recently purchased an 89 block from a pick and pull yard, the engine has roughly 140k on it, in decent...

Hello, Good Day.. I am newly registered to the forums although I have been browsing it for quite some time. Very grateful of the community here. I have a 1992 Ford Ranger, was my first vehicle I purchased and it came with a lift already.. I had never owned a truck like this before and I have...

Hey all I've been coming here for answers to my 2.9 questions for quite some time and just today finally made an acct! Anyways, I am nearly 100% confident in the fact that I have a weak fuel pump causing my problems, however I don't have a test gauge and therefore I don't have any knowledge if...

SO, I'll give all the details. You decide what is relevant. My guess is a bad cam lobes and/or lifters. 1986 Ford Ranger 2.9 xlt auto 2wd. The motor was rebuilt by a very reliable guy we know. It was a family member's truck, then i got it years later. It sat in this truck for 5 years without...

Hi guys, I'm looking to soon do a TDI, or v2203 swap into my ranger for mpg. Basically, I just want to know how much your adapter costed you to get fabbed locally. Adapters run ~1k-1.5k, and I want to know if that's what I would pay locally, or if that's what you paid locally for your machine...

Hi! I'm new here. My Grandpa is giving me a 1990 Bronco II, 2.9 with the A4LD auto. The trans has been rebuild in the past, but the engine is stock. Of course it's a 5 digit odometer, but according to my Grandpa it's spun around twice, putting it at around 266k miles. Just wondering of you guys...

agAWXnT4-EQ You have likely seen this video already. For those that have not, this guy puts sea foam in the crank case, gas tank, and intake of his Ford Rangers 2.9L. The engine went from knocking like a diesel, to running smooth. Sea Foam has been discussed in this forum for years. But if...

Well my problems came back after running good for a month, My 1988 bronco ii 5 speed had a loose ground causing it to buck and surge. Well this month my bronco ii started running worse then ever it would start missing and would idle low at a stop sign then finally come to a complete stall. It...

Hello ranger station i recently bought a 1988 bronco ii 2.9 5 speed that had been running like crap, My issue is when warm my truck idle surges at around 400-550 sometimes if i give it throttle it will go back to 900. (this sucks when driving in town and stop and go traffic on hills) it feels...

Has anybody seen the new Holley Sniper system? Its a 2 barrel plug and play TBI. It self learns and would be perfect for all the 2.8 and 2.9L's out there. I am running the 4 barrel Sniper on my 351w swap but thought you all should know about this new system. They have a version that comes with...

Fresh rebuilt 2.9, arp rod bolts, hi performance cam, reman heads, stock intake and merkur intake. Any interest?

(Started a new thread since the old one was nearly decade old.) All help forums say one way to connect a 2.9 block to a c4 tranny is to use a C5 bellhousing. My A4 has gone belly-up for the third time so I'm making this swap. (I only have about 60k on the 2.9 rebuild or I'd swap engine and...

I was hoping that I could get some help I just rebuilt my 1990 ford ranger after it set for many years and now when I'm driving it it cuts out from 1/2 to full throttle. I've changed the tps and the maf sensor and the piece on the side of the intake not sure what its called. Fuel presure is...

i just bought a 1986 2.9, 5 speed fm145 trans, 4x4, with starter problems. the starter grinds every time I try to start it. from what I read, this is a common problem. my flywheel is new and I'm on my second starter both new. second one I put a 10 tooth gear in it which did not fix the problem...

Welp. I didnt want to bug the Ranger forum minds, but I am stumped. I have a 1986 ranger extended cab xlt with a 2.9. Towed it from the desert where it sat since 99 lol. Pretty much entirely new now. I didn't feel I was wasting money because I have no plans on getting rid of it. It has a rebuilt...

I need some help locating the drain and fill bolts on my transmission to this 86 ranger I recently bought. Any links to a picture and layout would be great. The truck is pretty rusty and I would like to replace these bolts, so sizes or part numbers to those would be great too. I appreciate the...

My 1989 Bronco ii 5Speed will jump up to 3000rpm when i shift gears and it will stay that high until you go under 25mph. Then it will return to 1000rpm idle. I have a KOEO code of 41 which is O2 stuck lean. Ive found one vacuum leak were the plenum meets the lower intake. I was able to get the...
