    A/C finally giving up

    Hi, So for the last several years every summer my A/C has needed a Freon top off, usually a can fills it up and it is good to go all summer. This summer I think I have bigger issues. My Freon is still full but my compressor is not engaging. Now for the weird part. occasionally it works just...

    seating advice

    Ok Mike65 so that picture is like literally, you opened my truck and took a pic and posted it as yours lol. So I found bucket seats out of a 2008 ranger in perfect shape at a junkyard a few hours from me. will they go in, or will I have issues with seat belt mounts or something I cant even imagine?

    seating advice

    Awesome! I will look for seats from those years! I've got one more question. Does anyone know where I could find a schematic of of the pieces inside the seat? I am still thinking about maybe just rebuilding the seat but I don't want to take it apart before I have parts to put back in ln. I am...

    seating advice

    that's some good advice I will look into if mine had a recall. it also looks like those 96 mounts are the same as mine. So I am guessing 96-98 are all the same at least. Does anyone know if newer years are similar?

    seating advice

    Hey guys, I recently had the drivers seat in my ranger collapse. It no longer stays locked in position. When I pull the lever it reclines instead of coming back up. And when I pull it up and then lean back against it it just leans back down flat making it quite difficult to see where I am...

    More Explorer woes..HELP!

    More Explorer woes..HELP!

    its the tensioner. when mine went bad the noise would stop if i turned the air con off. I also had a bad belt, you might as well also replace that while your at it.

    P0430 Code

    When a cat starts to get plugged it causes a loss of power leading needing to have a "lead foot" which leads to bad mileage. On my dads ram he was getting 12 to 13 when the cats went bad, now he gets 17 to 18. It could be an o2 sensor, and if they have not been replaced then definitely start...

    Bad Thermostat = Poor Gas Mileage?

    I haven't had a chance to calculate the mileage yet. Ill let you know after I fill up next if it helped with the mileage.

    Bad Thermostat = Poor Gas Mileage?

    I replaced the t stat in mine and it fixed my problems. Took me about an hour. Probably could have done it in 20 min but I stopped and boiled my old stat just to make sure it was bad. sure enough it was stuck.

    The bad mileage would make me lean towards cat not o2 sensor.

    Bad Thermostat = Poor Gas Mileage?

    Mine drives like its warm. its just that the gauge dosent seem to register it quickly. As far as mileage is concerned i get about 15 everywhere. Just kind of resigned myself to the fact that I have to fill up everyday.

    Wrong motor oil

    Mine does the same thing. No one can seem to find any thing wrong with it. Someone told me my cats were rattling..... i don't buy it. You get used to it after awhile. Just turn up the stereo.

    Abs? Bad Brakes? Something else?

    Abs? Bad Brakes? Something else?

    HI this noise just started happening It happens once the car is warmed up and in gear. The sound in the video is a little off. the noise only happens if the car is in a gear in the video it looks like it only happens in neutral and reverse which is pretty much the opposite of what actually...
