rebuild

I'm looking to do a full rebuild of my 2000 Mazda B4000s transmission, it's got the 4.0L, 4WD, M5ODR1 trans, the case is spotless, but the guts are trashed, I know the bell housings are different for different engines, but can I take the internals from another M5ODR1 of a different engine and...

Title about says it all. Swapping a 28 spline 8.8 axle from a 2000 ranger onto my 91 ranger, in the process of regearing with used 3,55 gears. Using the old pinion bearing as a setup bearing, dremeled it out to a slip fit, and am installing the pinion with the old crush sleeve, outer bearing...

Where to begin? This was my 2nd ever Ranger and the one that really drove my passion for Ford Rangers in general. I've owned 3 after this but it's the only one left. It's a 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0l V6 Trailhead edition in a pretty rare color of Mandarin Gold Metallic. Last parked in 2018 with...

Happy new year! I have a problem and wanted to ping TRS before proceeding further. Bottom line: Rebuilt my 1999 4.0 OHV engine, fired it up the first time and it ran smooth as silk. Now it's not running at all. Think I narrowed it down to timing...maybe the gas is old and went bad? Now it's...

Hi, I'm new here, I have a 1994 Mazda B4000 in which I'm rebuilding a 1997 Ranger engine for. It's a 4.0 SOHC with OHV. My question is do I need to worry about where TDC is of I'm replacing both heads with brand new ones? I should just be able to turn the crank shaft until I see the pistons at...

Hello all. My name is Andrew, and I am a new member to the forum. My beast is a white 2004 Ford Ranger XL regular cab with the 3.0 (I’ll post pics later). As you’ll see, rust belt has given it a serious beating over time. This beast has been in my family for many years, and was my first vehicle...

Alright, guys, I need your collective ford knowledge for the little predicament I'm in. I'm on my second 2.9 rebuild and I'm slowly learning from my mistakes from the first time I tried this. I recently purchased an 89 block from a pick and pull yard, the engine has roughly 140k on it, in decent...

I have everything I need besides this pkg thrust washer to complete my rebuild of my dana 35 ttb off my 94 ranger. paint, new bearings, new bushings from dufftuff. new ring bolts(one was the culprit for causing the rebuild) and a fixed housing. wish I had the money to regear at the moment but...

I just rebuilt my tranny with an overhaul kit and put new hubs/sliders in. After downloading the bench manual for this trans from trs I got to torquing down the front and rear bearing retainer plates and after that I could force the shaft to turn but it was by no means spinning freely. I am...

So a really big dog ran out in front me on the highway. I had two vehicles behind me and couldn't brake in time to stop. Needless to say the dog did alot of damage. Before the incident I already had a leak at the "tee" mold coming from the thermostat. Now I have a lot more to replace and was...

Hi everyone. I'm getting ready to pull my TC from the 02 FX4 that I have. I'm pretty sure that it'll need some work and I'm looking for a service manual, or any other documentation that can help during the rebuild. Can anyone help me? I'll post pictures and updates once I get into the TC...

Hello everyone, I've got either a cracked head or a leaking, not quite blown, head gasket. I will be pulling the motor tranny combo when I do the work as I plan on also doing the timing chains while I'm in there and I figured the work space would be nice. I've never done work the intrusive...

Hi all, I have a 94, and it is tired... 261K and lots of abuse by the previous owners... during a recent head replacement I took a good look, and the fore and aft movement on the pistons was a good .060, hence the tired part. That is not to mention 1qt of oil every 200 miles... ;) So, I...

Hey this is my first time posting. I have had several rangers over the years. All first gen rangers currently I'm rebuilding a 1985 ranger 4x4 standard. I have a bit of work to do. The alternator was wired to the engine by a monkey. Bypassing everything. I need to rewire the regulator just...

I got an 1985 Ranger 2.3 and its got a knock it, its sounds like a rod knocking, it gets worse when you give it gas, was wondering was there anyway to make it quit other then a rebuild.

I got the transmission pulled out :yahoo: (thank you adsm08) Now I need to know what the next step is. I pulled it out because the transmission was stuck in gear. So now where do I start digging into it, anybody have pictures of what it is supposed to look like when I start removing parts? I...
