1994 Ranger SuperCab 4x4 5sp 4.0 I had 700#s of stone in the bed on Saturday when I noticed the brake pedal got mushy. Then the lights came on and the pedal went to the floor ;) I pulled over at a gas station and the master cylinder was almost dry. The rear hardline broke about a foot...

It's been really mild in the Washington DC area. This problem happen every time the temp is below 30-32 degrees. The engine will crank and crank but will not start. I hear the fuel pump primeing and I've already replaced the FP & EEC relays. This is the 4.0 OHV with 146,000 miles...

My '94 with 4.0 and 145,000miles would not start this am. It would crank and crank solidly. Tried press and hold gas. Got a full tank of gas yesterday at the local Exxon and it was only 33degrees this am. So I don't think it is fuel-line freezeup.

30 days ago I had the 5sp auto tranny rebuilt after 120K miles. Since then I've noticed that when rolling to a stop there is what feels like a hard downshift from whatever gear into first. I've also noticed that the shifts seem firmer/harsher that before. I need to take it back to the shop...

When in drive, no AC sitting at the light the RPMs are right at 500rpms. It's got 117,000miles. It's not my dialy driver but I thought it was usually 600-700rpms. What controls the idle rpms? What should it be? Chris

97 SOHC w/117,000 non-tow easy miles and the O/D light started flashing last night. Got it home, ATF looks/smells good. On the way to the shop the tranny was rough between gear changes but after a mile the O/D light turned off and the hifts are normal. The shop found the code po741 Torque...

97 X with 115,000miles The passenger side exhaust manifold is covered in white where coolant has leaked. I'm hoping/thinking it is just the heater hoses and/or clamps. I know the clamps are OEM, the hoses could be also. Both heater hoses are a two-part design with a connector tube...

A v8 X 4x4 can tow 7000# but a tiny footnote in the back of the brochure says to subtract 500# if you get the aux ac&heat. A call to MyFord redirected me to a dealer which has not helped. It seems to be VIN related. How can you configure a 04 X for maximum towing capacity? Chris

Have a 97 SOHC w/112k miles and I'm getting the itch for a newer rig for trips and occasional tow duty. Both v8s are rated at 7000pounds and my new 18' car hauler comes in at 2100#s. My folks just traded in their 99 X Limited for a 04 4Runner Limited and it is sweet. I rented a 03 XLT...

Installed a Flomaster "American Thunder" cat back exhaust on Saturday on my 94 supercab 4.0. It took longer to get the old stuff off but then it is 9.5 years old and 128,000 miles. I got the kit from Summit Racing. Hands down the best price, 2-day ground from OH to MD. Total little under...

Had a 92 X and my 97 is a vast improvement. Had the opportunity to rent a 05/03 XLT from Budget for a week trip to Myrtle Beach. It had only been in service for 2.5 months but already had 10,000 miles. The 03 really rides nice both filled to the ceiling with Beach stuff and empty. The...

Got 106,000miles on my 97 XLT and it is my lowest mileage rig. The 04 F-150 should be available this month. Any idea when the 04 X will be out. More importantly what area the changes. Anyone heard that the X will be redesigned on 05?

Nice weather here in DC finally. 97 SOHC w/102,000miles. With windows down/radio off you can here a noise 5-15mph. Like the calibers are not totally releasing or maybe a bearing??? Apply the brakes and the noise is gone. A month ago I greased the caliber slide bolts. Ideas? Chris

94 OHV w/120,000 miles Got this weird electrical problem. Both left and right turn signals flash double time just like when a bulb is out. But when I apply the Brake with the turn signal on they return to normal speed. When I apply the brake the radio display/clock goes out. When the...

My 94 oem radio display goes out only when I apply the brakes. If I have the turn signal on AND the brake it blinks! ;) It's got 120,000miles so I can't complain. Chris

I posted a response about using BG 44k and doing other BG flushes. The poll is do you go the extra yard and perform flushes above what the Ford maintence book calls for?

Had to dig the X out three times this morning and that was just in my own cul-de-sac ;) I'm just 7 miles from the Wash DC beltway. For those needing ammo againest anti-SUVers.. Dead Link Removed Chris

So far: Cleaned MAF with electronic parts cleaner Replaced IAC Replaced TPS Replaced plug wires (but not plugs) Cleaned TB buterfly BG 44K fuel injector cleaner X is 97 w/99,000 miles Problem: Randomly, the X will hesitate when giving gas usually mid throttle. The more you press...

On a 500mile trip from DC to OH the gas pedal got stickey and the engine would stumble the more I pressed the gas pedal. If I let up and then press it would be ok. It is a random event that happens after about 2 hours of hiway driving. At a particulary violent moter stuble the check engine...

My 94 Ranger 4x4 with 4.0 OHV and 5sp has been missing/stubling/shaking some but not all the time during acceleration. It did not effect the RPM gauge. I looked back at my server records and found that the orginal spark plug wires were still on after 117,000+ miles ;) Swapped on a new set...

My 97 XLT w/SOHC has been squealing at startup since it has gooten cold here in Metro Washington DC. I replaced the belt last Sept and it looked great so maybe after 96,000+miles the tensioner was not up to par ;) Picked up a tensioner AND a idler pulley at the local NAPA. If you have never...
