leak

Hey yall, I bought a 1984 ranger a while back, shes just been sitting out the the driveway, but now that ive got her going, ive noticed a coolant leak coming from somewhere behind the engine, and the transmission looks damaged, id appreciate any help yall could offer as to what the problem is...

I just replaced injectors and PCV valve. I pulled the top half of the intake manifold to do it. Old injectors truly need to be replaced. Now the truck needs some gas to start and almost dies when going down to idle. It catches itself and gets to a decent idle. So what makes it better? Pulling a...

I hope the pandemic has been kind to most of you. Little by little, I've been chipping away at the B2. After many failed attempts, I finally got the rear seats out which was the only thing (minus the dash) keeping me from having a stripped interior. The two bolts with T50 heads right by the...

Noticed some antifreeze under my 96 2.3 today and noticed a very consistent flow of coolant coming from the passenger side of the head where it meets the block. I’m guessing this means the head gasket is blown but I don’t see any water in oil, the truck has not overheated since I have owned it...

I have just brought a 96 back to life i bought with a blown head gasket and numerous other problems. Im ready to get the AC working, i charged it with some freon with leak detect but i cannot find this leak, it takes about 2 weeks before it leaks out. What are some common leaks yall see on these...

Hi. I was given a 94 B4000 with less than 50K on it. It had been sitting for a long time and the thing wasn't shifting right, but I saw it improving the more I drove it. I finally felt comfortable enough to pull the Boy Scout Trailer, which is a 12 foot single axle enclosed trailer. Not the...

So today in a few hours I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets on my ol beautiful 2001 XLT 4.0 (or at least I'm starting the work today). Does anybody have any suggestions as to what else I should/could replace while I have the valve covers off? Anybody have any tips for this job? Help is...

Sorry if wrong forum, could not find this topic under the help headings. Occasionally I note a vague gasoline smell by the driver door of my '95 Ranger. This is in the garage only, never experience it anywhere else. I got under the truck with bright lights and a mini video camera and tried...

'96 2.3L 2WD over 200k mi Never checked the actual radiator fluid except for when I bought the truck 2 months ago. I've always just looked at the resivour. About 3 weeks ago I noticed it was empty but that turned out to be the hose got disconnected rubbing against the air intake so I used a...

First post, looking for some help. I have a '90 ranger, manual, and the previous owner put radiator stop leak in the coolant, which I didn't know about until I started running higher temps (still in the normal) through the death valley in CA, and boiled a ton of coolant out the reservoir when I...

Update: My video and post refer to the leak as a possible cause for my starting issues. I just realized the starter and the leaking valve are on opposite sides. Trouble still there, likely the starter then, and the leak as a separate issue... Why does that valve keep going bad? I had trouble...

Hello! I'm gonna list all the stuff leading up to today over the past 2 or 3 weeks before I describe what happened with my transmission, in case any of it is relevant. I have a 1994 4.0 L V6 automatic 2wd Ranger. It has 150k miles and I'm not sure about the maintenance it has undergone in...

Hi All, Part questions, part edjumuhcation, it's ...questi-muhcation! I have a 99 3.0L 4x4 off road Ranger bought two months ago. When I bought it the ABS light was on. Since the rear speed sensor (VSS) seems to be a common cause & cheap part, I figured I'd start with the low-hanging...

I have a new radiator in My 91 explorer and had noticed that the transmission line/fitting was leaking on the top I re tightened it both the fitting and line but it still wants to seep I don't dare tighten it anymore don't wanna wreck the new radiator I put high tack on the lines and fittings...

I have had an extremely difficult to diagnose idle issue that has been ongoing for years. It doesn't happen always but seems to be getting more severe recently. The truck is a 1997 4.0 ohv with 160k miles. When I start the truck it will start without any problem. But after it starts The rpm...

Hey guys, this morning I went out to my truck and noticed that ALL of my antifreeze had leaked out. After jacking it up I noticed that the leak had originated from one of the soft plugs on the passenger side. After consulting with my Dad, the only thing we can think to do is pull the engine and...

Hello, This may be a common question, but I have a leaking sunroof on an 84' Ranger. I bought the truck from a friend and have done a lot of work on it. One of the last things is the damn sunroof leaking. Is there a place where I can buy a new or refurb sunroof? I've looked online and haven't...

I have a 96' 4.0 Ranger that a buddy gave to me as it was getting codes and wouldn't pass inspection. I have no experience with Rangers. The dealership quoted 1400 to fix. They had diagnosed a leaking intake manifold gasket. I removed the upper gasket, and saw that the gasket was indeed bad...

Ok so i just got done doing an engine swap on my 91 ranger 2.3 and she runs beautifully, however it pissed out almost all my coolant in the minute that i let it run, i believe i've found the leak, its a canister next to my oil filter, i have no idea what to call it or how to fix it, but i have a...

Hello everyone, my apologies for a lack of introduction to the forum I am simply looking for a quick answer to a big problem. I own 1995 Ford Ranger XL, automatic trans, and purely a DD/Parts Hauler. Upon filling her up tonight, I heard a leak and saw a steady stream of fuel coming out of the...
