Work In Progress

[Rowdy Fitzgerald]

After looking at your truck I think I might go with the glass fenders. They look awesome. And my muffler is no longer under the truck didnt really like the sound of it. So for no I wear earplugs when I go places.lol

Thanks! I didn't know if I was gonna like them at first but I really like them now. I'm still reshaping the front of them to match the stock grill.
For the muffler I used a one that's 2 ft long and 7" round. I wanted it to be quiet. I think it's a stock f-150 muffler.

I don't mind the sound it's how loud the damn thing is. I just can't find a muffler that give it a deep tone and not make it sound like a ricer.

That is because you have a 2.9.

 

[86MUDRCJ]

So it's ricer or Prius?
On another note I went to go up a bridge on my way home and the truck started running like complete shit. It sound like it was running out of fuel possibly but it has a full tank? At idle it's fine as soon as you put your foot in it, runs like shit. Any suggestions? I was thinkin check the fuel pump and filter?

I haven't been on in a while. Look at your air filter, and there should be a piece of metal that goes over your manifold. It should be on the passenger side of the motor. My truck ran like shit when that slipped off where it goes. Is it making any bad noises?

Check that Fuel Pressure Regulator. Those are notorious for going bad, and can cause all kinds of weird issues.

On a side note, sharp looking truck, man. The more I look at it the more I like it.

I would almost bet they its the filter, because I popped a line off really quick and it looked like it was plugged pretty good. As far as noises, at deccel it sounds like its running on 5 cylinders now(most likely irrelevant to filter problem)

Thanks man ill have to check bit out to make sure after the filter goes in. Thanks for the compliments.

Not really an update on the truck but I went fishing a couple weekends ago with s buddy and we threw his little Jon boat in the back of my pickup and I thought you guys might wanna have a laugh so...

Here's the fish we caught the first time...

And today

And who said that ranger's weren't meant for hauling? I have a spare 4.0 if you wanna buy it.

 

[86MUDRCJ]

Does it have the harness and everything?it pulled it pretty good. Just wish the bed was a little longer or he had a trailer for it.

 

[90jurassic2]

I believe I have a harness for it somewhere. It's a little rough, and will need some going through.

 

[86MUDRCJ]

What year/model is it out of?

 

[90jurassic2]

It's out of a 1990

 

[86MUDRCJ]

I might be interested, just have to see how the finances are goin. Also if you get a ecu from another 4.0 it would work correct? If anyone knows that'd be great.

On another note I found the design I'm goin for my bumpers. More of a ruenel style but here's a pic of the front.

 

[90jurassic2]

Yeah. You just need a early 90's ECU. I've gone through 2 of them, but I'll get you it if you want it. I have a spare. That's a cool looking bumper! are you concerned about weight though?
