    3.8L maf compatible with my 4.0L?

    So I picked up a free maf from the recycling plant last night it's out of an essex 3.8L windstar. The electrical connectors fit but the ID number aren't the same. I started it up an ran around a bit with the new one(fried my old one) and it seems to run fine, if not a little smoother than my old...

    Remove the spring locks for the fuel filter

    If I found a plastic pipe that fits under the spring capsule would that work? Last time I went to change it, I didnt know you needed a special tool so I just ended up taking the V clamp off the inlet and prayed gas all over my shirt and in my eye, even after relieving fuel pressure.

    Truck jumping ahead?

    Tranny fluid's preme, just had it changed a couple weeks ago with a new shift solenoid. One thing I think I'll try is putting the old paper air filter back in. I've cleaned the MAF lots of times but I think it could be the high flow filter that messing with the fuel mix.

    Truck jumping ahead?

    So I'm having this increasingly annoying problem with my Ranger. It's a 4.0 and has this extremely harsh "clunk" and surge when ingaging 2nd gear. It will rev up a bit but you can hardly heard the motor. It just sounds like what I think is the torque converter just spinning until it clunks into...
