    Dtc p1151 and p1152

    Ticking 5.0

    Looking for suggestions before I start tearing this motor down...again. '99 XLT 5.0 motor rebuilt and stuffed in a '98 Ranger SC. All new valve train to match the new cam (Comp 35-512-8). Everything else is new except the crank. Torque Monster headers, 1.6 Ford Racing roller rockers with tall...

    Valvetrain Geometry

    Rebuilt my first 302 to swap in my '98 Ranger. Aside from being amazed that it even started, I thought it purred like a little kitty. Unfortunately one of my buddies, with a much more trained ear than myself, said he hears lots of valvetrain noise. Now I'm questioning my rocker setup. This...

    Trick Flow a No-Go?

    This is actually for a V8 swap into my '98 Ranger, but my donor is a '99 XLT so I'll post here. As long as I have the engine out and disassembled, of course I need to put on TMH with a 1" intake spacer. I'm confused about which spacer to use. The Trick Flow spacers only seem to go up to 1995...

    Differential Pinion Shaft Lock Bolt Explosion

    Was planning a 302/5.0 swap into my '98 Ranger, but my "doner" ended up being a sweet '99 Explorer XLT with only 60K original miles. My conscience had its way with me and now I'm trying to make the X my daily driver. My first task was to fix those squishy brakes, but in trying to get at the rear...
