Hello, everyone. I'm new here, wondering if you can help me out with some truck troubles. I have a 2005 4x4 manual Ranger with the 4.0 V6 SOHC (166K miles). It seems to run all right but has had a P0172 code for the longest time. OBDII data shows that the long term fuel trim is extremely rich...

Hi All, Recently picked up a 2001 Ford Ranger v6 4.0 with 63k. Just replaced the spark plugs, radiator fan, leaking thermostat housing, coolant flush, and timing chain tensioners. Mainly did the tensioners since getting to the thermostat housing was half the battle. No odd noises I can recall...

As the title says, no idea how, but I got a little round chunk of old timing guide into an oil galley. Found it after a complete rebuild, primed the motor and had no oil to the driver side head. Tried back flushing, it was rock solid. Put 120psi to it and got it to clear, but quickly became...

At to moment I am pulling the old rusted 2.9L v6 out of my 1990 Bronco II 4x4. I have purchased a 4.0L SOHC replacement engine from a 1997 Ford ranger. I thought I did a lot of research before purchasing but now I am not sure if the bolt pattern will line up to the OEM 1990 B2 transmission...

I want to retest my TPS to make sure it's at 96v, I've done it before but I can't remember which terminals go where. And if you need a ground or which setting to use for the volt meter. I can't find thread which has the pictures of how to use the volt meter with it. Is there anyone out there who...

Just curious as to the best transmission I could use. I currently have the 4.0 ohv in my 97 ranger auto. I will being a swap with a sohc from an explorer (1997-2000) and was wondering what transmission I should use, considering that it is a daily driver and I WILL be adding more power down the...

Howdy guys, this is my first post! I've had my ranger for a little over a year now, and she needs a new engine! Its a 93, and it has the 4.0 overhead valve engine, and I can get my hands on a 2001 4.0 for a real decent price. I've perused through the forums quite a bit now, but I still have a...

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

I just got my engine back from the machine shop and they took the balance shaft assembly out of the block for cleaning, when i got it yesterday they did not reinstall it. My question is, there are 2 holes under the balance shaft inbetween the bolt holes, one had a plug in it from the machine...

I just got a great deal on an 03 4x4 edge with a thrown rod. I may have found a great deal on an 08 sohc and just wondering if all sohc's 01-present are interchangeable. If that falls through I'm probably going to pull-a-part and getting a 99ish xploder sohc and redoing the chains and...

I recently got a new Sniper Special Forces tuner (which is rediculously epic) and I'm trying to build a 93 octane race tune. I don't care about gas mileage, jut safe power gains. Before you ask, yes I can modify the spark advance and global fuel, the afr, everything like that. I'm running the...

Finally got around to registering on the forum even though I've been floating around here for years. I own a small custom / fab shop, and do off road recovery's and I have a weird obsession (addiction) with Rangers and Explorers. I own/ have owned more rangers/explorers than anyone would believe...

Hi guys. I installed a SOHC motor from a 2001 Ranger into my '96 to replace a 2.3L. The harness and ECU are from a '97 explorer SOHC. I am not getting any spark and I don't smell any unburned fuel. I checked the cam position sensor. It does provide an AC signal when the engine is cranked. It...

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...

I currently drive a 1999 xlt 4.0 with 210000 miles on it... It is definitely a wonderful truck, but the front end has seen better days. My buddies dad just wrecked his 2003 xlt 4.0 that only had 120000 miles on it. I am looking at having the chance to get any parts off of his truck that I could...
