I own a 1990 Ranger XLT with a 2.9l V6 and the distributor is in a bad spot and is under the intake manifold and close to the firewall, and I don’t know if it’s possible to replace the distributor without dropping the engine.

Hey I hope I’m in the correct place. So our hired hand hooked the jumper cables up backward on my 1990 ranger. I didn’t know until I got in the cab to try start it and smelled burnt electrical components. I immediately unhooked the cables and tried to crank the engine got absolutely nothing...

I have a 1988 ford ranger, 2.9L V6 with a dual tank system. Right now the gauge somewhat works but its as if there is a gray zone berween the 1/4 and 3/4 fill lines that the gauge cant go over/under. When we tried testing the ground on the pump we found that it may be a grounding issue since the...

Aloha all! I've tackled a few little repairs over this holiday break, and thought I'd investigate this as well. When I bought this truck many, many years ago, the plastic cover was off the dome light and the bulb was missing. I got a new bulb, stuck itin, and it worked! The light came on! And...

Having issues with my tank selector valve, right now its set to the front tank and runs fine, but the dash mounted switch doesnt seem to have any power going to it. At first we thought the frame mounted valve switch was the issue so we replaced it but its still not working. The fusible links...

I recently got ahold of a cheap 1994 Ranger with the 4.0l V6 but I have run into wiring and computer issues. So far I have identified multiple spots in the engine wiring harness where cracks/holes in the wire insulation has caused the wring harness to corrode plus areas that appears to have had...

I recently bought the truck off a fella and got it running, its a dual tank and it wasnt running for god knows how long because of the tank switch valve. We got it running and I used to have back up lights but those stopped working out of nowhere, I replaced a burnt out fuse that was rated to...

I have a 2.3 93 ranger 2wd. It has new plugs, wires, coils, fpr, and injectors. I have tested injector connections, power has 12v going to it and ground has 60 something ohms. I don’t remember the prefix. With old injectors it still ran rich, would have to drain and fill oil after 350~ miles...

Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster. (Yes, I’ll do an intro later.) Background: I have a 2003 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 with the 4.0L SOHC. It has the very beginnings of the dreaded timing chain rattle, and i am trying to preserve the engine/timing for a bit more until I am able to do the...

I’ve been having an issue where my truck dies over night. Went got the battery charged then I went and got it tested the battery alternator ect were all good. car battery drainage issue didn’t stop, and I’ve made some progress. I went around my truck, checking for anything, that could be...

Okay so I've got a no start condition right now in my '89 b2 with single pump, I've narrowed it down to the fuel system. It's not making enough pressure so I did a voltage drop test on everything from battery to pump. It looks good until I get to the inertia switch as in when I do the test on it...

So here goes, last week I was driving my Bronco to pick up some lumber, as one does on a Sunday afternoon. The truck started a little weak but drove to the lumber yard fine. I place my order and go out to leave....CLICK..no crank. So after an hour of messing with the truck and sweating to death...
