motor

Decided after finding my ranger 2.3 had a cracked block I would swap the motor, it wasn’t very hard to pull so I’m willing to drop another one in. Obviously I can’t hear the motors run before I buy them and most have over 150k in them, what are things to look for? I was going to change the...

Hey everyone, I've searched around but couldn't find a straight answer to this; I need to replace the transfer case shift motor on my 2007 Ranger 4.0L, and I've found two parts that look like they should work: the Dorman 600-807 and the Dorman 600-931. Websites say that you need the 600-931...

Thanks for the past and future help with my Ranger. I've had a Ford ranger since ± 2008 and have used this forum that google would bring up. I have never signed up for any forums till now. I'm in the process of doing a Motor Swap from '00 3.0 FF TO a '01 3.0 Automatics and would greatly...

I haven't yet done it, and I haven't seen where anyone else has done this to a later model Ranger, but I am very tempted to try it out. Not too concerned about MPG's, just looking to fit a V8 into it and lift it for a little 4x4 fun. Any and all help and suggestions are welcome, even if it is...

I have a 1993 ford ranger with a 4.0 and auto trans I just swapped the trans cuz I lost first gear. After the swap the truck holds idle and can redline but once I put a load on it (drive ect) after 1500 rpm the truck starts to die to keep it going I pump the gas but after it catches up stalls...

The title says it all. I'm rebuilding a 3.0l for my truck cause mine decided to take a dump. I've bought a re-ring kit from sealed power off summit racing along with new motorcraft spark plugs and new oil. the guys at autozone told me to just add an additive of zinc. Tell me what you guys think.

Alright il give you guys some backround. I bought the truck a couple weeks ago n it had a high idle n sticky throttle problem so chasing that ive replaced the idle speed control motor, throttle position sensor, and rebuilt the carb last weekend. the throttle doesnt stick anymore but it just...

I just got a reman 302 87-91 comp eng and tran. Is this a good motor to use in a 88 ranger super cab.

Does anyone know what has to be done to swap an an 03 motor into a 95? Do I have to strip everything down to the block or are some things compatible— i.e. intake, valve covers, oil pan, accessories? My motor just froze and I need to get back on the road asap! Please Help!

Hey All- I'm a total Noob here. I've already found some GREAT information on past articles and the Tech Library which has helped me so far. I recently bought a '99 with a 2.3L I4 manual which is great for cruising around the city, but it's just lacking. I found a good deal on a 99 V6 3.0L...

Hi folks, First time poster here. I did a forum search, but did not come up anything useful. I am replacing the motor mounts in my 2000 Ranger 4X4 with the 3.0. I sprayed the studs and nuts with PB Blaster a few days ago. Is there anything I need to be aware of when doing this job? Do I...

Alright guys, so I have 2 1987 ford rangers. And they both have 2.9 liter motors in them. On one of the trucks to motor is shot. (the guy who had it before me blew it up trail riding at a trail convention). One of these trucks is going to be for mud and stuff while the other is going to be for...
