Well i got some stuff done on my ranger. Got a C.B radio of my father-by-law, FINALLY got around to bolting my bed down. Also found out my little gas problem, why my gas was spitting back out at me.... My gas tank was full!! :icon_twisted: Need a new tank sensor i guess... I may do a body lift on it... Should I?... Thinking maybe 2" not an official body lift from a supplier :D just some hockey pucks. i also got a email from a person with some manifolds that will fit a 2.9. they're just like new he said. $15 for em. Gunna try to get his number and see if he'll deliver for a extra $30. Since i cant get driven anywhere or drive :sad: I'm also going to paint er' a different color. Thinking Flat Army green with satin black racing stripes, and on the bed near the back about 3 to 4 paw prints on each side. Wadda's think about that? Also did some damage to the passenger shock. i still have to bolt them up... Hit a large bump doing 40 and the shock popped out. wieght of the truck bent the place where the shock bolts. And some picage!




My little helper :icon_thumby:



Main problem for the loudness of my truck...
Thats the piping that goes to the cat..

God I hope your joking. You can get one for $6 at walmart.. I have three.
Nope :( only one they had left. I had 2 of them laying around but one got burnt in our old van and the other got crushed in my old trail rig when my mother sent it to the scrap yard.

No :p, I was trying to fix the super high idle prob. cleaned the butterfly with brake cleaner and that.
Ford uses Teflon on throttle bodies... You should only use teflon safe TB cleaner.. Atleast that is what a Ford Tech told me......

Hey guys, just a little update. Cant get much done on the ranger since i moved and the truck is still out the country. got the GY Trackers on it now but have to take them off, the rim is too small on the front and locks up the front calipers :(, But i now know the look im going for on it, im going pure pre-runner.
Needa find 4 shocks, passenger side axle shaft for a Dana 28, May be getting a new 2.9 soon. and i needa get some subwoofers and hook up my CD player and 750 Watt amp :yahoo:
