ranger

Hello everyone, it is good to finally make my first post and series of inquiries regarding some ranger goals I have in mind, moving forward with a future project truck. I'll post an introduction later separately to keep this as short as possible. I am currently at a phase in my life where my...

So after years of research truck problems here I am finally making an account. I have been driving rangers for 15+ years now. My first car was a '94 ranger regular cab 2wd with the 4cyl engine & 5-speed Manual trans. It was owned by a contractor & in pretty rough shape. My father gave it to me...

Alright guys, I need some fellow mechanics to bounce ideas around with because I'm running out of them. Im working on a 87 2.9 ranger with ammeter for a buddy of mine. The ignition skips at idle and cuts out so bad under load it doesn't want to rev past 2000 rpm. It COMPLETELY clears up when the...

Fender badge design for my Barra build

I own a 2001 Ranger XLT 2WD with the notorious 4.0 SOHC engine. However, I'm at almost 350,000mi and the engine is fine, but I am becoming concerned with my transmission. Twice now, at the same part of highway, I got the dreaded flashing "O/D Off" light. Truck continued driving and shifting...

Hi everyone My 2008 4.0 Manual transmission is having problem going into first and sometimes third When shifting into first from a stop I hear a thud - and this is the driveshaft moving slightly ( I watched my buddy put it in gear while I was underneath) sometimes this is of off and on and...

Trying to track down a grinding noise⬇️ So I’ve got a grinding noise coining from my front end somewhere. It’s more noticeable at slower speeds. Noise also gets drastically better when brakes are applied. I can hear it when going straight, and it’s worse when turning left. Goes away when...

I have a Mazda b2500 00 but the side fender and the door of the driver side are damaged, does the ford ranger parts will fit?

This 2001 Ranger w/automatic transmission has the sought after 5.0L engine swap already completed for you. Runs and drives great! This has a professionally installed long block crate engine and looks like it came from the factory with this engine. Ice cold a/c that will fog the windows, brand...

Hi everyone, i'm from germany and in january i bought a 1986 ranger (which is an import car), unfortunately it broke down couple weeks after i bought it, the reason was a broken crankshaft. So i took it to a U.S Car workshop in germany (which are btw extremly rare) and the guy told me he will...

My clutch pedal felt stiff on my way home today. I tried pumping it a bit when I got home and noticed it wasn't getting near the floor/stop. Then it locked up pretty good, and I guess I pushed it a little hard...and the fitting for the hydraulic line blew off. And no, not the quick disconnect...

Hello All, Just got this as my first DIY and learning a ton in the process. I am a computer nerd but have always been more of a fix it yourself kind of guy. Trust me when I say, if you are reading this you know more than I, but I am willing to listen and learn. Based on all that I have read...

Hello all. I drive a 1987 ford ranger XLT with about 120k miles, been daily driving it for almost a year now and its great and rarely gives me issues. Being its an XLT it has factory air conditioning, r12 of course, and ever since i got the truck the system was empty and it has been empty for...

Harder than you think to decipher 12-year-old forum posts with web links that don't work. My truck is a 2000 4.0 XLT non-power truck. (No power door locks, windows, mirrors). My skill level is sufficient to install cruise control and do the overhead console mod to a factory look and function...

Hey Guys, This may be a lot, but if someone could provide me some expertise that would be GREATLY appreciated I know there is a million threads for this out there. And I have pretty much read them all. Hopefully someone on here can be of some assistance. I have certainly done my homework, but...

So I bought a 2000 ford ranger 2.5l and it had a blown motor, so I found a lower mileage junk yard motor and put it in. when it first fires up it runs super rough for about 2-3 minutes. STFT 0.0 LTFT 0.0 then it begins to lean out until STFT reaches + 42.2% I’m having trouble getting it to...

Okay I know this has been asked a ton. But I can’t get clarification for my own problem with my ranger. Its a 97 XLT super cab. 4.0 with a manual and 4x4. the other day I tilted my steering wheel up after shutting off truck. And the ‘alarm’ system went off and since then won’t reset. I don’t...

What is this opening on my 2.9? I got down there to clean and change the oil sender unit and noticed there's a deeply recessed port. Not sure if it's the norm and I'm just overreacting but I don't want to run to pick n pull to check without asking first. Any clue what this is and if there should...

what are the similarities and differences between a bronco ii’s exhaust and a rangers exhaust? the manifold/headers? in my 90 ranger are cracked in multiple places but the ones off a 90 bronco ii in the yard are in very good condition other than that i haven’t looked under the truck to see how...
