I don’t know if this a “targeted” offer or not. It showed up on my computer and it worked for me. 20% off any single eBay purchase from $50 up. The total discount is capped at $100 so that sounds like it is the best deal up to $500. There are ineligible categories but I tested it on several...

Thanks for the info.

Does the power driver seat in the Gen2 Explorer Sport 2-door have a "fold and slide" feature? In other words, does the seat back incliner allow the seat to slide far forward for improved access to the back seat? Please include the model year of your Sport in your response. THANKS! I am...

4.0L: Front lower driver side of the block below the AC compressor. May be hard to see from above or below. If so, try looking in through the wheel well.

Look for a single wire (light green/red) connected to a switch on the parking brake pedal mechanism. When the brake is applied, the switch switch completes circuit to ground to light the lamp. Also check brake fluid level. Rangers are sensitive to fluid level and usually need it adjusted closer...

99~2000 Rangers had Type B PATS with 3.0/4.0 V6 only. No PATS on 2.5 4-cylinders for those years. 2.3, 3.0 and 4.0 Rangers got Type E PATS in 2001. Early 2001 MY Rangers with the 2.5 did not have PATS.

Be gentle with the drain valve on the radiator. The plastic gets brittle with age and may crack easily.

Looks like an opportunity to get a cheap/free oil filter or something similar IF you don't mind jumping through the Facebook hoops .... Posted on SlickDeals.net on 12/5. Expires 1/31/14...

Lamp Flash Code 2-5 is for a problem in the Passenger Airbag Deactivation switch. Probably caused by the monitoring circuit detecting incorrect resistance. The fix would normally be a replacement PAD switch assembly. If you're handy with electronics, take a look at this...

One thing to keep in mind is that your Ranger is equipped with ORVR (Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery). The intent of this system is to force most of the refueling vapors to be vented into and captured by the carbon canister instead of being vented primarily at the fuel filler neck as is the...

This assumption is incorrect. There is no hardware difference between the California and Federal Rangers of your vintage (2001). So troubleshooting would be the same as a Ranger sold new in Washington. I'd be looking for filler neck or vent restrictions.

12V power point - fuse 22 in the dash fuse panel cigarette lighter - fuse 17 in the dash fuse panel both are grounded to the bolted ground point under the passenger side kick panel

For 2006, it's fuse #19 in the SJB (under the passenger side kick panel).

Plug off the vacuum line that currently tees off from the A/C vac line to the PVH system. That will take care of the leak.

Possibly. Check to see if the windowed rotor of the Synchronizer has been hitting the CMP sensor. That sometimes happens if the Synchronizer clearances have become large enough. If not, then the sensor should be OK. If needed, the sensor is a lot cheaper than the Synchronizer.

This is one of those situations where I would stick with a Ford part and not go to the aftermarket. There have been many reports of fitment issues and/or early failure of A/M synchronizer assemblies. One way to save money on the original equipment part is to research the Motorcraft part...

I would use a mechanic's stethoscope to see if the squeak is coming from the Synchronizer. It is roughly in the rear center of the engine block and may be partially shrouded under the upper intake.

With the 3.0L, a possible squeaker at the rear of the engine is the Synchronizer. The Synchronizer is an oddly named part that is actually just an adaptor for the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor. It fits into the hole that would have housed the ignition distributor on an older version of the...

Look up under the dash to the right of the steering column. Remove the cover from the rectangular plastic box and the battery saver relay is inside.

The primary driver for doing a lift was my V8 swap. Lifting the body 1.3" allows the stock 5.0 Explorer radiator to be dropped down and moved forward under the core support, freeing up more room for the blower belt drive and the Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan. The cross plate that mounts the...

You can look at your current bolts but I doubt that there is a full inch of extra threads available at every bolt to accommodate the 1" blocks. Since there are several lengths, you may be able to swap some of the existing bolts to new locations to save some bucks. I only had to buy 2 new...

I used 3" diameter aluminum to make mine and they are just right on my 2003. I haven't looked at a 97-back Ranger but my guess is that the 3" would be a good fit on those as well. I posted the part numbers for both diameters only to let you know that there is a choice available from PA.

Performance Accessories sells individual spacer blocks for body lifts in various heights and diameters. They have two available for a 1" lift - MB01 is a 2" diameter block and BB01 is 3" diameter...

All U.S. 2011 Rangers are equipped with PATS, also called "SecuriLock" in some factory literature.

Your 2003/3.0 trans should be a 5R44E. If it actually does have a 4R44E, it didn't come from the factory that way. A flashing O/D OFF light means that there is a trouble code stored for an automatic transmission fault. Go to a dealer or trans shop and have it scanned to find out the code number...
