4x4

So whoever had my truck before I did rear geared the front axle but not the rear... Im thinking about just swapping one of the axles to match the ratio in the other, which one would be easier to switch and which would be cheaper?

Dunno if this is better in the pre-runner or not but figured it'd be ok in a 2wd lift forum- I have a 1996 Ranger xlt extended cab 2wd that I'd like to bring up to stock 4wd height, i'd like to get a little more ground clearance out of it but i don't really wanna put the money in for a...

My ranger is a 1995 4x4 with a automatic and the 3.0, it has auto hubs and an electric t-case. Now my truck has the 4x4 and the low range light on, can't get it to turn off at all. And I can't get the front to turn (they roll, just don't deliver power.) Before when I would take it out of 4x4...

I am hearing a very strange sound coming from the front under my truck. Heard it for the first time on the way home from work. It sounds like hollow steel balls clanging together. The noise is very inconsistent. Usually happens when slowing down, my foot is not on the brake. Here is a list of...

Hey got two things I'm having some problems with on my '94 Ranger, first off my 4x4 isn't working right, it hasn't since last year some time and I'm sick of it, I replaced the transfer case motor with a new one when it burned out but now it's not working again, the lights on my dash started...

Finally wrapping up my 1354M swap, and hit one last bump... What colors do I splice to, and where are they for the dash lights?

I'm looking at purchasing one of two 1998 Explorer Limited V8 models, and one states AWD, the other states 2WD. While researching on Edmunds.com and looking at the complete list of available models for 1998, no where does it show a 2WD V8 model available for 1998. Perhaps the person who is...

Hey everyone! I was wondering if there was any after market winch bumpers that were for other vehicles like jeeps or chevys that would fit on or close to my 1994 4x4 ranger super cab. And no, I don't have a welder yet to make my own bumper.

hello. i know this subject has been covered many many times on here but after searching everything i could find i still haven't found anything that might point me in the right direction. i have a '99 ranger xlt 4x4 ex. cab and i'm having trouble tracking down what is preventing 4hi or 4lo from...

so the other day i got a new clutch, shocks, brakes, and driveshaft. I went off road and went into 4x4 low. When i got back to 2x4 I had to go in reverse and I heard this weird noise. the noise almost sounds like metal rubbing on more metal. I feel as if the noise is comming from my transfer...

I've got a '88 Ranger with just a 3 inch body lift. My rims have a -27mm offset with 3.5 in back spacing. i'm wondering if 31's would fit without rubbing. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm planning on a build on my 94 ranger 4.0 4x4. I got almost everything I need to start the project. I got a 305 that's more then enough for this truck. And I'm looking around for a automatic 4x4 set up with the front drive shaft on the left side of the trany so i can hook up my front axle...

Hi, I have this awful squeeking sound when the clutch is out, and when it's in you can feel vibrations on the pedal, and makes this racket. So I figure it's the throwout bearing and I've known it needs a new clutch. So what I need to know is everything I need to do to change the clutch and what...

So, this is probably a dumb question but what is the difference of the 98-00 international Rangers and the ones here in the US? Warn's website only lists hubs for the 98-00 international model, and i want to make sure I cant use them. I got a set of AVM hubs for Christmas, and a few days ago...
