    SOHC Death Rattle Prevention?

    It may be your back cam tensioner is/was the one that's rattling....I think if it does it all the time at idle and all threw the rpms it should be replaced IMO....but I think if it is just when it's cold or at 2500-3000 it will run along time IMO

    SOHC Death Rattle Prevention?

    I'm sure the better the truck is takin care of will factor in....I contacted 3 dealers in my area and they all told me the same thing....don't bother unless it is so bad it does it all the time. So I ignored them and took it to my local mechanic and left it with him while I was on vacation. 5...

    help me pick new tires

    I had some 37/13.50/17 Toyo MT's on my F150 and I would have to say they are the best tires I've ever had....period. They are quiet on the road and are beasts off road!! I currently have 33" BFG MT's on my Ranger and they are good to.....I still like Toyo better.

    SOHC Death Rattle Prevention?

    Well there are alot more that don't fail ratio wise,and mine had 130,000 on the stock parts and they were in good shape....all I'm saying is don't wig out and contact congress cause you have the rattle....at the end of the day it's up to the person if they can put up with it.

    What kind of oil do you use?

    I do the synthetic/motorcraft filter and change every 10-12,000 and change the filter in between....I'm going to look into the Amsoil thing for sure tho....that will be sweet to only change every 25,000.

    No heat (1995 Ranger)

    The blend air is a pretty common problem......Yes the actuator runs the blend air door. I also had one heater core clogged on the inlet engine side that caused the same thing to happen...have you flushed it out lately?

    No heat (1995 Ranger)

    Blend air door or blocked heater core would be my guess.....

    Engine ping/rattle at idle

    If it's the timing chain rattle then it will do it between 2500-3000 rpms also.....just had mine changed at 130,000 and after I seen the parts that came out of it I could have ran another 200,000 miles. The spring was week on the primary but that's it. I see alot of people panic over this and I...

    I had the rattle since I got my 01 ranger (had 96,000 on it) drove it to 130,000 and just had the front primary and front cam tensioner changed. The rattle is gone.....cost me $250 labor and $150 for parts. Now that it's said and done after looking at the primary tensioner/guide it.Could have...
