My dad told me, if you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to pay for it. I bought an 87 Ranger from a guy that was a customer at the recycling place I worked at. I said I like your Ranger and a week later he returned and said I could have it for $1,500. I still have it and will be working...

You probably caught it just in time, or what life was reduced may never be realized. I hope to find one in that great of shape someday.

25 psi is way too low, this thread is 4 pages deep and my memory doesn't go back that far. Have you replaced the fuel filter? As stated in post #55 you should be closer to 36 psi. As far as tips go, if you are not going to cut an access hole in the floor, run the tank dry before you drop it.

The several I've done in my driveway, a transmission jack and the access through the doghouse made it a 30 minute removal job. For the installation get 2 longer bolts for the top 2 positions to hold it while seating the torque convertor.

Yeah, I seriously got up, stretched out and made a sandwich. Most of I70 has been repaved over the years so the opportunity has vanished. What made the road dangerous is when it would rain the ruts would fill up with water and vehicles would lose control even though half the road was dry.

Once the vehicle is rolling, I shift without the clutch. I'm guilty of looking at the phone when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, but the worst I've done is when driving through MO the ruts in the road are so deep I'd set the cruise in my semi truck then walk into the back to get lunch. Over 3...

Text left handed.

Looks like it lived in a garage its entire life

Does the engine run fine going down the road? A dead miss at idle would mean a dead miss rolling down the road.

Seeing those 8 track units, first thing to pop into my head is the old K-Tel records commercials.

Are we there yet? I do like the attention to the details. Everything looks like it was meant to be that way.

BrooklynBay has good advice. You can check for codes with a paperclip at the test port.

Define slipping?

I think you have a good reference point, I figure as long as the same point is used with both mounts, it should be accurate.

Could you measure the assembled height difference between the 3.0 ranger mounts and the Aerostar mounts?

Start a thread and we can discuss it. I'd use these motor mounts. You could probably use some plate steel with a few holes drilled to adjust the motor position while using the stock mounting points on the subframe. If you move the motor forward a little, you'll have an easier time getting...

The valve body handles gears 1-3. 4th and lock up each have a solenoid. The circuit is hot to the solenoid and the ecm grounds to complete the circuit to activate. I can understand just wanting to fix it as is, I tried that on a van I had and after the parking pawl broke twice then the A4LD...

Zenish, would you fix this van with a 302 and a T5?

There's a solenoid in the transmission for lock up. A 94 is easy to convert to a manual transmission...

Torque multiplier on the torque wrench works great.

It's amazing the world of a difference a good radio makes.

I've put my entire cd collection on my phone and use Bluetooth to a factory truck radio. This thread subject got my attention cause my freightliner daycab only has 2 small speakers in the doors. Today a co worker and I got energetic and got a pair of speakers, and boxes from Walmart. World of...

Seemed like everyone I knew in high school had a pioneer system in their ride. Those were the days when people still listened to cassettes. I wanted a Panasonic digital compact cassette head unit. I thought it was cool you could advance to the next track like a cd.

Was your jeep the 6 cylinder?

A trip of a lifetime. I'm a truck driver and I hope to eventually drive that way as well. I say take your car, I'd do the same.
