    my friends 2500 threw a clutch switch malfunction code and now its completely dead!

    Check all fuses Try disconnecting the battery and take a voltage reading If it’s putting out 15v then it could have overcharged and blew some things which would explain why a 12 v system is not happy with 15v FYI I’ve never seen a 12v battery hold More then 12.5 volts When running it should...

    Yin can bench bleed the master with it connected and use the pedal to Build the pressure… just don’t push too hard you don’t want to bottom out the seals before the master is bench bled

    Denim Joe, the 1998 V8 explorer

    Have you tried driving without front shaft? See if noise is there First thing I do with a noise like this is make sure it is in the rolling drivetrain and not the engine. So the noise will either follow the speed of the tires/drivelines or engine Metal on metal scratching noise like this...

    Very hard to tell over video phone but I think there is a crack in the tailhousing as well Eddie has been doing a fantastic job on his end. Once I saw the leak (fountain) I knew it was not a gasket failure so we went hunting and I spotted the sheered bolts The th does look cracked around one...

    03 fliptrac $700 daily driver (summer of fun with 4 sport tracs)

    2” body lift for sure helps things fit, especially tires and big engines! For me it was for tire clearance and also so I could run the side exit exhaust

    4.0 SOHC was jerking at 55-60 mph , now stalling every 2-3 miles.

    2002 Sport Trac

    That max track kit I think is for rwd rangers only (even torsion spring yes) The superlift is not available You may need to find a 6” rough country suspension system for 2000-2011 ranger 4wd it will fit your sport trax and accommodate the 02 brake rotors The rear shocks may or may not work...

    I put heat, signals, and cameras in the side mirrors of a 2007 ranger recently I ran the group of new wires with the dash all apart door panels out and door wiring boots disconnected… on that truck I used coat hanger and once I had one wire through I used it to pull the others The explorer...

    Energy suspension body mount kit for 02 sport trac 2” My body lift came from a truck I crushed I believe it was originally designed for a ranger. 4 door ranger is very similar to sport trac as far as the body lift goes… 6 pucks under the cab 6 under the bed worst case can get longer bolts in...

    How to: 410customs - Square Mirror Mod

    Now that the truck side Mirror base has been modified to fit the ranger glass we will need one more bit from the ranger Mirror. We are going to create a cosmetic cover that will snap in place and cover the gap created on our modded base. Lucky for us the ranger mirror is about 1/2 thicker so...

    How to: 410customs - Square Mirror Mod

    I present to you the square mirror modification for 95-01 Explorer, Mountaineer, 02-04 Sport and Sport Trac (and more). Let’s face it, the old tiny round side Mirrors are outdated! The 06-11 Ranger side mirrors are far superior in styling and vision. After many many years of having explorer...

    4.0 SOHC was jerking at 55-60 mph , now stalling every 2-3 miles.

    So the check engine light wire should have battery power + when the key is turned to on and until the engine starts. Then since you have a code it should remain hot until you turn the truck off, the power should go away if you clear the code and before it comeback Basically if you have battery...
