So, after seeing the same old threads asking the same old questions or creating discussions about the same old previously discussed 50 times over kind of material around here (Mostly in the "General" forum), I got to thinking. Why not make a master list of the most over-posted, re-posted subjects. Kind of ironic, eh? These are in no particular order of importance. Don't shoot the messenger here, I'm just posting stuff I see. Think of newcomers that want to find information but have to sift through piles of junk threads.
Feel free to add and give suggestions and I'll update the master list.
1. 98+ Suspension Lifts
2. Fuel Economy
3. Why won't Ford bring the new Ranger to the USA *boo hoo*
4. Seafoam (is it gonna kill my engine?)
5. Can I use these spark plugs? (are they the best?)
6. Someone said their car/truck was better then mine (So I'll ask other ranger owner's for their one sided opinion to feel better)
7. Is my power-steering ok? (it makes funny noises!)
8. Do throttlebody spacers work on EFI engines?
9. Will Ranger 28 spline 8.8 axleshafts fit in an explorer 8.8 31 spline.
10. Cheap ways to add power
11. Does a 4.0 transmission bolt up to my 3.0? (vice versa)
12. Can/How do I convert my 2wd to 4wd?
13. Can I put a carb on 4.0?
14. Can I turbo/super charge the (2.9/2.8/3.0/4.0/2.3/2.5) with stock internals?
15. What seats work with my RBV?
16. Who has Carfax?
17. Can I see pictures of a gen ? RBV with ? inches of lift and ? inch tires?
18. My vacuum (98-00) hubs don't work! what do!
19. My auto hubs (83-97) hubs don't work! what do!
20. How do I build a Pre-runner (what suspension, are there kits?)
21. Do cold air intakes work on RBVs?
22. How do I SAS an RBV? (how do you do it, are there kits, is it hard?)
23. Which mufflers sound the best?
24. What headers will work for my V8 swap?
25. Will my RBV transmission fit up to a v8?
26. What tire size can I fit? (stock suspension? __ amount of lift?)
27. My heads are cracked, can I put some kind of magical sealer in the radiator to fix the problem? Does that work?
28. How do I remove (insert emissions component that doesn't hurt fuel efficiency here) for better gas mileage/power?
29. Why/how do I bleed my clutch?
30. Is the 3.0 really gutless? (My 3.0 isn't gutless!, 3.0 vs. 4.0 (like its even a competition, lol) )
31. Which oil is best? (weight, brand, etc)
32. Should I weld/lock my front end?
33. Can I use my stock carb with a duraspark conversion on my 2.8?
34. How wide of a tire can I *safely* fit on my stock rims?
35. What weight gear oil do I put in my M50D?
36. Can I put stacks on my ranger? (has it been done?)
37. What octane fuel should I use? (can I use?)
38. Will acetone improve my fuel economy? (Has it been done? How much should I use?)
39. Cheapest/easiest way to lift my RBV?
40. What speaker size can I use with my RBV?
41. How much does a v8 swap cost? (which ones can I use?)
42. Can I put a 2.9 intake on my 2.8? (or vice versa)
