man this truck is driving me crazy! It was not starting then I had to get a phone call I came back and bam started right up. I wish I could be somewhere really cold and I could blow heat in places. I may just go pick up some air in a can and turn it upside down to blow cold air onto things...

turdle its great to hear from you. the only issue with everything is that seattle is a pretty mild temp. so in the mornings its nice and chilly but once it hits 8-9 o'clock the truck starts every time. so I have to come in early just to diagnose it.i guess I could get some sorta heat in some...

well im still trying to figure it out but I guess its time to go home. ill keep you guys posted.

Hello my name is Gordon and I work in a shop in Seattle. recently we had a customer come in for a no start issue on his 97 5.0 awd. so what happens is ONLY on cold mornings it will not start and has no spark, but has injector pulse. we put a crank sensor in it because before it had no spark or...

These old explorers wont really pop up a lean condition code they are kinda dumb buy ya you may want to ohm direct across your coil pack and make sure all your ohms are pretty close. It could also be an intake leaking coolant into the cyl but its kinda un likey since the affected cyl are across...

Like it says snow run this weekend let me know if you want ro go and play in some snow!

Are you in ottowa washington?

Well i finally figured out my death wobble problem. My track bar mount became loose so i tightened up everything and it works like a charm! With everything ive done its like a whole new truck, now all i need is swaybars and some quick disconnects and ill be set to go!

Well A little up date is due I think. After 150 miles its doing great I may have A little oil leak, I still smell burning oil. I think I need some shims for my rear diff I kinda have A vibration (my old blocks had a built in shim and my driveshaft guy when he built it told me i may have to do...

I thought about a 5.0 but im very familiar with the 4.0 but concidering my 2.9 had 275,000 and a cracked head its a major improvment, i can actually go up hills! Haha

They actually came like that im not to sure i was thinling for max flex (it does flex awesome)

Thanks every one if you have any questions let me know!:thumbsup:

Here are some pictures! I will add pictures of the motor today.

You would have to mount the maf before the split though. It would be pretty sweet though.

So i have a 86 ranger 2.9 5 speed. The donor car was a 91 ranger auto 4.0 that was stolen and smashed a wall and broke an axle. The motor was redone 40k ago so i just replaced the valve cover gaskets rear and front seal and oil pan. New 4.0 clutch and flywheel with the fm145 ( I know but i just...

well i was thinking it may be more simple to heat up the center diff around the tubes and jack on the end of pinion. but just pushing up the diff just a little bit it wont make it rotate backwards only if i removed it and made it look like a high pinion but im just making it a little higher.

like it says what do you think? I have an 86 ranger with an early bronco dana 30. i know i can try and find a dana 44, but i already have the 30 but has anyone ever twisted the center (as to not mess up the caster) to make the pinion higher. I messed up my transfer case front bearing pretty bad...

nevermind I found an awsome website. I want fenders for my explorer and a full raptor 1 peice for my ranger. that would be so cool!! kinda a big price tag though (almost 1000 bucks) it would be awesome though.

Where do you guys keep getting these fiberglass fenders? My left front one is kinda destroyed so maybe ill get some fiberglass ones!!

damn!! thats nuts the 145 has the trans pan right? so whats the difference on the 146?

I noticed the core support is the only thing stock left on the front haha.

bump?

Yea i was mostly looking for a cost effective way maybe chevy springs that swap straight in but i may look into some lift leafs im just tired of spring wrap and the embarrassing blocks haha.

Wow great build, you have some serious fab skills. I wish i could make mine look like this... great work!!:thumbsup:

So what is the weak link in that fm145 (i do have that one). The trans shop across the street can prob put a newer better whatever breaks all the time part? I just like the low 1st gear.
