bought a 2010 ranger with a 4L sohc that has around 143K miles (230k kms). the guy that i bought it from was upfront about its problems. he had told me he had the front chains and guides repaired, then after that he problems started. the original shop had told him it was not from any work they...

i have posted this in a ranger message board, figured i would also put it up here. i have a 07 level 2 (has 33's on it if this will count) with around 260kms (161 miles) on it. starting this winter, i have noticed a cluck or thud when the truck is in 4x4. it feels like its from the front end...

2 weeks ago, going down the highway, i went to use the cruise control. i found it was going on, but not after having to press the set accl a few times. last weekend, once again, going down the highway, i went to use it, but this time it wouldnt come on at all. i tried doing a self test to see...

i have a 10 EB with the electronic heater controls in it. here is the problem no matter what i do, the rear fan (the one that blows air for the roof vents) will not shut off, even when the heater controls are off. is this a resister problem, or something else. i did a search but all of them came...

just bought a 2010 eddie that has factory navigation in it. the issue is, it thinks i am in north dakota, when i am further north near winnipeg canada. did some searching but couldnt find if this needs a update or something else. anyone else ever have this problem, and if its not a update issue...

i now have a 09 sport trac xlt. i am very familiar with the first gen trac's as well as second gen eplorers, so this is all new to me. i know this is the same with the 2nd gen explorers and first gen trac's. what i want to know is are the drivers and passengers seat base cushions the same? the...

so i will post this in two different forums. mods, if you feel the need to delete one of them please do as i am not sure where to post because it involves two different modules. now i am almost certain i know the answer, but in my old age i am getting confused when i go to order the parts. i am...

to me this is sad news. mike lavalle, inventor of "true fire" painting has passed. he was on shows like monster garage, overhaul'n just to name a few. i would also have to say evil would be just another explorer if it wasnt for his vision and inspiration to other air brush artists as well. RIP...

so i am going to see if there is any interest in a group buy for a cowl hood group buy for the 95-01 four door exploreres, and the 95-00 2 door sport. i had someone on a group post a link to a company that he bought his hood from. i had member ahodges call for me because the numbers on his page...

i have a 04 trac that i bought to fix up and resell. when i bought it, the owner had said that sometimes the truck would loose its memory for the keys, and starter. they would have to get their neighbor to reprogram it. well, the first few times i tried it, it worked without any problems. after...

07 ranger. i had noticed towards the end off fall that i had no control of the temp setting in my ranger. lucky for me that it was stuck on heat and not cold like most of them do. now spring is coming i will be fixing this, but i am not sure if it is the door or actuator. i did try to see if i...

ok, so i have a chance to pick up a 2010 ranger 4x4 that has a blown trans and a 4L SOHC v6. i have 2 5r55e 4x4 trans sitting in my shed. one from a 2000 explorer, one from either a 99 or a 2000 explorer. i know physically they will fit and bolt up, but what i dont know is what if any are the...

Recently I have purchased a 2002 Explorer sport to fix and resell . Two things that have me kind of stumped on this . First off it has a remote start from factory yet no keyless entry on the FOB . Second it also has a door keypad . On all the explores I have owned over the years the RAP...

here is what i have. 07 ranger, level 2. about 2 years ago i completely redid the rear brakes because the axle seals leaked. at the beginning of this winter i have noticed when i come to a stop, the further i push on the brake peddle, the faster the rear brakes come in then the fronts. i took...

after doing a r&r to the trans for a front seal, i now have a p0720. it didnt have this before i pulled it so i am guessing it is in one of the 2 connectors. problem is there are 2 main connectors (which are not really fun to get at either). can anyone tell me which connector it is (one is...

anyone have any problems lately using fords vin lookup? http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do in the past it gave you everything from build date, colour, options but now when i try to do a look up, i get either minimal info or nothing at all (and yes, i do double check the vin)

ok, so i have both a 04 sport trac, and a 01 sport at the moment. both of them could use rear swaybar bushings, but guess what? both rockauto AND my local parts store do not list them. its the bushing that mounts to the swaybar to the diff. anyone have a part number for them?

this has me scratching my head a little. i picked up a 04 sport trac with a 4L SOHC to fix up and resell. the previous owner did take pretty good care of it. when i went to look at it, i did notice a little bit of a rough idle. he did say "it comes and goes" and he was right, it does. i did...

i buddy of mine recently made a smoke machine for finding vacuum leaks and what not. to me, even though my truck isnt fully tuned yet, it still didnt seem to be running correctly. i asked if i could borrow his machine to make sure i didnt have any major leaks. when i hooked it up and pressurized...

here is the story. i had this motor in the truck and running with no problems before it ate the thrust bearing, and dug into the crank. got that fixed, put the motor back in, now i have little to no vacuum going from my boost gauge, and if i press the brake peddle it feels like i have manual...

does anyone have/know the part number for the idler pulley below the belt tensioner for the 5L motors? )in blue) i cant seem to find it on rock auto (or dont think its the right one) and any ford parts web page i go on doesnt list it

so years after doing my 5L swap in my sport (which you could NOT get a v8 in, no matter how hard you cried) i still see this question pop up lots. so lets look at a few things before diving in, and rip everything apart and haft way threw it you wounder why you did this to yourself. the main...

ok.....here is the deal. this had drove me batsh!t crazy since the day i put this in. i have a 98 sport that i put a message center in nearly 6 or 7 years ago. everything works (no oil sensor however), BUT the correct readout for a sport tank. a 4 door tank is 21 gallons if i remember correctly...

so i have been trying to figure this out. has anyone pulled a 5L and trans out in one shot? if you did, how hard was it to do, and did you mess anything up doing it?

bought brad's ( ford99_1979) 96 limited from him. flew out to pick it up, he met me at the airport and drove back to his place to finalize everything. truck was way better then i expected. plus he even tossed in some extra parts! if he has something up for sale that you want, have no fear. he...

i now have a vibration at 30kms to 40kms per hour. here is what has been changed. i had a new exhaust system put on. when they did it, it was hitting the axle going over bumps. i put different leaf packs in hoping to raise the ride height a little, but that didnt work. i cant say i notice...

this sounds dumb, but what it the "correct parts term" for the throttle ball on a throttle body arm that your throttle cable hooks onto? im trying to find it inline catalog and i dont know the correct name for it. they used to (or still do) sell them as a kit of 3 back in the day. HALP!

so i am flipping thew summit on line when i cam across this http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/hel-7648/overview/year/1998/make/ford/model/explorer i didnt know anyone outside of explorer express made a rear sway bar for the second gens. now, i am wondering if anyone else has. i would...

so for all you guys that do fab work, here is a question for you. i need to think of a way to make a round pipe into a oval shape on one end. i want to say using a vise, and a block of wood would work, but i think it may crush it in the center too much. this has to be as smooth as a transition...

https://www.facebook.com/mike.harrelson/media_set?set=a.10201561270898949&type=1 hopefully the link works. i figured i would post this up for the reason that one of our former mods here knows this person. here is some info 24 Cargo Craft black trailer has been stolen with a 2008 Shelby...

so i have a 07 ranger that i bought (not 007, an different one) and this wont engage into 4x4. the lights for both 4hi and 4low come on, it will go into 4low as well. i had to change tires on it today, while the front was off the ground i spun the front tires to see if the axles would turn (they...

for everyone that either has done the BW4406 swap, or about to, you may want to to read on. it may save you some cash, time, and frustration down the line. 2 years ago i did this swap when i did a 5L swap in my sport. i found all the parts i needed at work (scrap yard that also shreds cars). i...

i just finished putting on a 75mm BBK throttle body (that i bought used), and have had some problems. first, the truck is a 98 sport with a 5L, and a m90 supercharger on it. when i did the throttle body, i also make a bigger throttle body elbow as well (3 1/2 inch), and modded the shaft for...

wanted to post it in the henson question and answer thread, but cant find it for some reason (?). so anyway, here goes. the truck has been tuned by henson performance using a sct tuner. i have my end user file now, so i can play with the setting. recently, the truck was dyno'd and i had told...

this is what i am doing. i have a 03 sport trac with a bad motor. i am replacing it, with the motor that i had in my 98 sport before i did my 5L conversion. from the 98 motor, i gave the pan to a fellow member so he could get his motor running. what i planed on doing was to swap the 03 pan, and...

i am looking into buying a 03 sport trac that has timing chain issues. in my shed, i have the 98 SOHC motor that was in my explorer doing nothing (pulled it when i did the 5L swap). i am 98% sure the 98 SOHC motor will work in this, with changing the fuel rails, injectors, sensors, upper intake...

anyone ever heard of, or used these? i found it on rockauto. they look like the aussie and powertrax ones, only not as expensive. SPARTAN LOCKER Part # SLF8831

i am working on a 2000 ranger that was imported from the us into canada. i am not sure if the us has mandated all vehicles now to have day time running lights, but it canada, around the early 90's it was. this truck dose not have them from factory, but it looks like it has the plug. my question...

so i am going to be ordering a mac CAI from henson performance very soon, but i am not sure about this. i have a ford lighting maf for it (90mm), and i dont know if the one that comes with it will fit or not. any have the same thing, and have had to order a adapter plate as well?
