I'm try to replace the passenger side radius arm; broke the shock-absorber stud on it. The step I'm stuck on is removing the pivot bolt, i.e. the bolt going through the I-beam. I remove the spring, spring seat nut, and pivot bolt nut. But the pivot bolt won't budge. Do I just need a bigger...

Hi there, I have a Ranger XLT Thunder with a seized engine. I'm currently wondering what to do with it. Is it worth getting a new engine or selling it as it currently is. I unfortunately don't have the time or the money to wait around to fix it. Would any of you guys know how much it...

Hi, My 88 Ranger SC started giving me problems @ 10 days ago. I have had the same issue in the past but it went away for at least 6 months. It reappeared after our first cold rainy day of fall. Anyway, It will start right up first thing in the morning but is a bear to get started once she...

I've got a 94 ranger that I use for off roading and i have another 94 that is more of a parts vehicle. The parts ranger has a bench front seat that I want in the off roader. Is all of the seat mounting hardware and holes the same, or will it require modification to switch them? They are...

Looking to lift my 4WD 2001 Sport Trac. I can't really find any lift kits other than the SuperLift 4" lift. That's way to expensive for me, but I still am looking around. If the ranger lift won't work, any suggestions as to where I could one that will? Thanks! Oh and how high do I need...

OK, I have a '93 Ranger 4x4, 4.0L/5spd The pitman arm is bad. The tapered hole for the center link ball joint is worn out, so there is WAY too much slop in that connection. Sounds like an easy enough fix, right? Wrong... Every parts source I can find lists Moog K8754 (or a simlar "house"...

I'm David, 20 years old, and am about to graduate college. I've just recently realized that I like the idea of modifying and customizing vehicles. I am not familiar with basic mechanics. I do however have sufficient interest. My parents were gracious enough to buy me a 2007 Ranger 2WD 4 cyl. as...

I have a 97 explorer 4.0 ohv, automatic, all wheel drive. Intermitenly it won't start.(3 Times so far in last month) I can spray either directly into the air intake, and starts right up with no problems. I know it is getting spark, as it fires right up with starting fluid. I have swapped...

So I have had my Ranger for about a year now. It never had A/C and today I decided to fix it. I got a new compressor and coolant. After installing everything the air ran great, at first. After a 10 minute test drive it started overheating and threating to stall. I had previously replaced the...

My 2.3L 2002 Ford Ranger is experiencing some rough ride issues. After the vehicle warms a bit, at about 40 MPH, when i step on the throttle, the engine revs heavy, and feels as though it is downshifting. And then the Overdrive Off light turns on. I have replaced the steering column to attach...

So my dash lights went out and all of the indicators are working. I checked the fuses, and they are good. From what I've read it's common for the headlight switch to go bad. I pulled it out and looked at it and it looked fine. Would I notice any visible damage to the switch, specifically the...

Spotted in front of Goodwill and China Buffet. A Heartbreaker decal is located between the rear driver wheelwell and taillight. Look closely.

Ok guys, I could really use some advice here. I consider myself a pretty good mechanic, including diagnostics, and I feel a little stupid asking this stuff. However, I'm just not real familiar w/ the front drive train setup on these things, as I've never dug into one before. I've got a '93...

I have a 2001 ford ranger edge, all stock. I would like to put In a new stereo, one preferably with the USB port for my iPod to hook up to, or if it comes down to it, an auxiliary cable. I have no clue how many watts i need or if every stereo fits. I do not want the big fancy touchscreen...

Hello everyone, an old Ranger guy joining up. Thanks for having me. So, I have a 2002 Ford Ranger. Lately, my temp gauge has been acting strangely. When I first start my truck, the engine temp will be on "C" and cold as usual. Within 5-10 minutes, the temperature has risen all the way up to...

I have a 96 Ranger that has been making clicking noises when in gear (when stopped). I opened up the hood and watched as I had it in drive with the brakes down and the AC clutch will engage and disengage repeatedly making a clicking sound. If the AC is ON this does not happen; it does not happen...
