Hey guys , while I'm sitting around waiting on my stuff from 4Wheel Performance , I figured I'd tackle a few small issues that are ailing my Ranger.
1. Has no interment lights in dash ,,, figured out which slot in the fuse panel and put one in .
2. Had a leaking Diff cover , cleaned off with brakeclean and found the cover to be cracked ,,, not a huge crack but but none the less will need replacing. I can take the cover off Ol'blue , but will consider ordering one from Ruff Stuff ,,, If I can get one shipped up to Canada , in a reasonable amount of time.
3. The tachometer is not working ???? For this problem I haven't a clue as to where to even start .... Should I be looking for wires or was this a problem with the Tach itself for this year ???? (1994 ) ...... Any body have any dealings with this issue at all , , , , any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks in advance . :icon_confused:

^ Don't be a prick...This is what the forum is here for. I'll be glad to help you sir. The first two I can't help, but the last one I could. If I were you, I'd start Cleaning out your Idle Air Valve Control (IAVC). That could be your solution to many problems. Second, check the wiring. I have same year as you do and the wiring just flat out sucks. see if you have any torn wiring that needs to be rewired and maybe that could solve the problem. I had one of my headlights go out on me and when I replaced the light, it didn't work either. I looked deeper and it was the wiring.

First off , I did and came up with no specific issues regarding if this was a issue with this particular year of truck. So if you can't help and can't contribute any useful info don't be a dick and post somewhere else !!!! :thefinger:
