    Wheeling the weekend after thanksgiving?

    the sound, of silence Man, I would totally be up for it, if I hadn't broken my own Ranger. I'm waiting on new coils for my Ranger, then we should party. I've got a lifted x-cab myself, and I'd like to wheel w/ some other ford folks again. I'll be in touch, happy Turkey Day!

    HELP: Engine lag, IMRC?

    In case it helps somebody... After about $1200 in new sensors, road tests diagnostics, and other B.S. - the shop couldn't fix the problem or diagnose. Best guess, needed a new transition. F-me... So I decide to wait and see. After a couple weeks, on the way home from work the coolant...

    Jet Powr-Flo Mass Air Flow Sensor - Anybody have one?

    Hmmm... If it were a bigger spec change I'd believe that, but Jet says that is not necessary to retune the PCM. Agreed, it would probably run better, but according to them its plug and play. To answer an earlier question, yes, I changed the filter when I installed the MAF. Is it just going...

    Jet Powr-Flo Mass Air Flow Sensor - Anybody have one?

    Looking like my MAF was dead after 8yrs and 165K miles, and I had a little cash, so I decided to sink the money and invest in a Jet "Powr-Flo" MAF sensor #69114. One note, I had a K&N FIPK, which at this point I ditched and went to a AEM Bruteforce. OK, so it comes, bolt it in... ta-da ...

    How to: The Comprehensive Brown Wire Mod Thread

    it ain't vaccuum There are days I wish I had the vaccuum hubs, just so I could swap them out with manual. My 2000 is the electronic hubs w/ "live" front axle, similar to the Explorer setup. I'm not sure if Ford was jacking around that year, but I've seen 2000's with both setups. I have...

    How to: The Comprehensive Brown Wire Mod Thread

    Not to be a complete idiot...BUT- I pulled the radio/console in my 2000 Ranger, expecting to find the fabled brown-wire, w/ splice to the upper left on the main bundle which goes up and left. Gently peeled the tape, seperated the wires, and ... WTF? No brown wire. I had to...

    best front shocks to fit lifted 2K

    Looking to replace my front shocks - I have a 4x4 2K Ranger w/ Superlift 4 inch kit and actually fitting the shocks is a b*tch. I might get the Warrior shock mounts, so I can have eyelet-to-eyelet shocks... Wonder, what was the best set for the setup is... part numbers would sure be...

    Adjustable Lift Kits For 02-04 Explorer 4-Doors Coming Soon!

    well, duh. But, based on the threaded top and posted bottom, I'd like to get a look at the rest of the dimensions to see if they can be "adapted". not following directions can lead to innovation. (or hellacious breakage :) )

    Adjustable Lift Kits For 02-04 Explorer 4-Doors Coming Soon!

    Hmmmm I've been looking to really beefup the fron suspension on my 2000 Rangers wimpy 4x4 IFS. These coil overs look like they would really stiffen it up and help the load of my offroad bumper and winch. I have a superlift 4 in lift kit, and I'm really interested in finding a set for the...

    cd eject

    couple things My stock Ranger player ate the disc like that a coupla times... here's a few things to try: 1. Power down. Disconnect battery, then reconnect. Don't ask me why, but sometimes it spits then. 2. Using el cheapo radio removal tool, take out radio unit, gently shake the unit...

    Dana 30 (D30) strengths/weaknesses

    $ or $$? OK, the kicker, you guys are the fellas to ask... what cost differance are we talking about? D30 are from wranglers, I don't know where to swipe a D44 from, but I'd guess a larger Ford. Do you have to cut the axle down to match the track. Don't mean to ask foolish questions...

    Dana 30 (D30) strengths/weaknesses

    el cheapo setup for the underfunded So far, it seems like if you have to go w/ a D30, the best setup might be : HP D30 coils high-spline (alloy) axle shafts break-away C-clips (any opinions on these, supposedly "shear away" at a given torque to protect shaft) ditch the vaccum hubs (or...

    JoshC's D30 SFA by CRLCustoms.com

    spline on the 8.8 interesting... I think that an HP 30 or 35 w/ coils would be the best bet. I've read some interesting things about taking a HP35, customizing it with D44 U's, and using that. What about the steering box? One other question, to "safely" run 35's, its recommended...

    JoshC's D30 SFA by CRLCustoms.com

    35's on a D30 -- carry over from the SAS discussion JoshC- Headed the SAS route and I have a few questions: 1. Got a master parts/price list? I'd be really interested! 2. Any problem w/ 35's ... I've got a 2K Ranger running the MT 10.5x32's w/ 4 inch Superlift no problem. The only...

    Dana 30 (D30) strengths/weaknesses

    no really, keep talkin' hey fellas- Just catching up on the thread. I've been talking w/ Heath and Edsel and I think I'm headed the same route converting a 2K Ranger. I've been reading up on the differance, and I can see a long term advantage for the D44, especially in terms of strength...
