Had a similar problem on my xlt ranger. Relay was bad. See if you can swap in another relay and if the system still stays on. Might be the fix. Sorry, just read the rest of your post and found out that the relay isn't the problem. I've had problems with my Ford A/C Controls in the past...

Aside from removing the fan shroud, fan clutch, fan and serpentine belt, is there anything else that needs to be removed to access the water pump? With 120k on this vehicle, currently I am experiencing catastrophic failures of the transmission, engine oil gaskets and now the cooling system...

Thinking about replacing the rear main seal in my 03 ranger. Motor is a SOHC 4.0L, trans is 5r55e. Truck has a body lift. Anything I special or any instructions out there that are available for this job? Any help would be appreciated. I have done this before on other vehicles, just not my truck...

Trans is a 5r55e auto. How much work/time will this take? I'm looking at doing this by myself. If anyone has done this job, what "surprises" did you encounter and what should I prepare for? I've done rear mains/clutches in other 4x4's and in cars before, just never this one. Thanks to all that...

Did not know if this was the right place to post it but my A/C fades out when I hit the gas and the trans down shifts into overdrive. The truck is a 4x4 and the motor is a 4.0L. Anyone have any suggestions or experience the same thing? Does it just need a charge or is it a vacuum leak?

Hi folks, I'm starting to experience some slipping in my 5r55e (03 ranger 4x4) and have decided that a valve body rebuild and servo replacement are most likely in order. I have several questions regarding the rebuild. While I have subscribed to Glacier's and Billy's threads in preparation for...

RCD, Superlift, Body Lift are all available. Just a matter of what you want to do with your truck and how much $ you are willing spend. Superlift and RCD are kinda spendy with total kits running over th 2k mark if you go w/ the driveshaft replacement. RCD converts your t-bar suspension to...

Sounds like a security system issue. An iginition kill switch could have been activated that is internal to either the PCM, car's management computer (lights, battery, ignition, etc) or it has its own security unit. See if disconnecting the battery for 2-5 minutes an re-setting the system will...

problems solved Well, it wasn't intake gaskets. The lower plenuum is part of the head, therefore there are no lower intake gaskets. What did fail was the thermostat and housing. 150 bucks later, the problem is solved. Still don't understand why they make it out of plastic/fiberglass. The...

update Pulled the upper intake and I have "baby crap" looking sludge in the valley below the lower runners. Looks like an intake gasket or gaskets. Whewwwww!

You can modify your shiftpoints and the stiffness of your shifting. I've got the X-Cal 2 and love this thing. I has improved power, response and mileage. Well worth the $$$ spent on it.

Thanks, what I'll probably do (if it won't ruin the engine) is take it in on Thursday to someone that can a pressure test. I don't have the equipment and right now (pressure tester) don't know how to use it and don't have the time w/ my job. If it is a blown intake gasket, how involved is the...

Thanks for the f/u. Is there pressurized coolant running through the lower intake manifold? Could you or anyone else out there get me a schematic? I am very, very, very limited in what I can get my hands on here in Hawaii. Everything is about toyotas and hondas. Thanks.

Found what appears to be coolant residue on the back side of the engine and bellhousing. The running temp in the truck has not changed though (she still sits at a little after a quarter hot). Also, oil looks ok, no coolant so far. Has someone else experienced this? Is this a coolant hose that...
