cam

Hey everyone, new here but am a Ranger owner twice over. Current one is a 2004 XLT, 4.0 SOHC, 4x4, 5 speed, extended cab with ~165k on the body & 90K on the motor (as was told to me by the PO) I've had it for 2 years now. Truck has been great up till last week when I started to notice a miss at...

I've got a head from a 1996 2.3 ranger and i have the cam out and I'm trying to figure out why it is making the noise it is. There is some kind of rod going through the center of the cam that shakes back and forth and I'm not sure if it's normal or not. If anyone knows anything about this I'd...

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 purchased the truck with this issue, so only thing I've got is what the previous owner told me. He said that it just "happened" on the way to work and he had it towed to his friend's shop who suspected a bad oil pump. I've checked oil level and verified no continuity at the oil...

Used once when I did the chains and guides in my ranger. Here's the craigslist ad - http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/tls/3380737500.html Not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find a tools for sale forum. Thanks! -Ryan

So after days of searching and calling around i am at a dead end. I drive a 93 ranger 2wd auto trans. I need a cam sensor. Everywhere i look online i can only find 94 and up. All the parts places i call tell me that my truck doesn't have a cam sensor. What gives?

I'm trying to decide on if a new pair of cams is worth the money. I'm looking to get to a low 14 in my quarter mile in my little RWD and I'm slowly crossing mods off of my list. I've gotten a tuner and an intake and I know that more aggressive cams would help that time shrink, although most...

On the Esslinger Engineering website I saw two different adjustable cam pulleys for sale. Is there any other difference between a round and a sqaure tooth other than the fact that one is round and one isn't? Does one perform better? And at last, what type do I have in my stock 1997 2.3? Here...
