    2.3l turbo(88tc) in 3.0l ranger

    I recently bought someone elses project and am in need of some help. It is an 03 3.0l ranger that has an 88 turbo coupe motor and trans. Where do i start with the ecu issue? 88 tc ecu or ranger 2.3 ecu? Use with a megasquirt? Not sure where to start or what one would work best.

    01 sport brakes on a 2000 mountaineer

    I have another set of brackets off of a sport. If the hole needs to be smaller for the spindle i could put a bushing in the hole to make it smaller (if needed).

    01 sport brakes on a 2000 mountaineer

    I just bought a 2000 mountainer for the wife and it needs front pads and rotors. I have a good set from my 01 sport from when i put on slotted rotors. Will they fit? Autozone says different part numbers but since i have extra mounts and calupers can i do the swap?

    5.0 manual sport front end?

    That's what I was unsure about. I wasn't sure if they ever made a two-door 5.0. I was pretty sure that they never made any other combination that would be easier to convert

    5.0 manual sport front end?

    I do have an 01 sport, but i want a 5.0l 5 speed with an 01-03 sport body. Im not sure whatthe easiest way to accomplish that is. I do have a donor sport with a good front clip. If it would be easier to start with a 5.0 explorer or a 5 speed explorer or to convert a sport

    5.0 manual sport front end?

    I am wanting to build my "perfect" explorer but dont know how to start the build. I want a 5.0l with a 5 speed and an 01 front end. Do i start with a 5.0l and convert trans and front? Or start with a 5 speed ? I currently have an 01 sport with a small lift, 33x10s on 18s and 4:10 gear swap. I...

    alternator not charging

    I ran new wires from the battery to the alternator and got it to turn on and charge. Will that draw enough to drain the battery if i fuse it to the battery or do i have to run it to the fuse box so its controled by the ignition?

    alternator not charging

    Yes this what my thoughts were too. Are both wires in the plug suppose to have + voltage when the vehicle is running?

    alternator not charging

    I will redo all of the grounds tonight or tomorrow (weather permitting) and see if that works. I "assumed " that since i could pull a reading off of the alternator housing with the multimeter that it was grounded good.

    alternator not charging

    I have no voltage coming out of the post of alternator (to megafuse and battery) the alternator plug has battery voltage coming out on both wires.

    alternator not charging

    I took apart what everybody says is a mega fuse and it's just two connections with a chunk of metal bolting them together. There is no way that could be bad if they are joined together with a piece of metal. The 30 amp fuse inside is also good and we took the battery out of my other ex as well...

    alternator not charging

    My alternator on my 01 ex sport will not charge. I have 2 others that were all tested at autozone and tested good. But none of them will work. I have battery voltage coming out of the plug that goes into the alternator, but the wire that goes to battery is not putting out anything. I have tried...

    01 ex sohc wont start

    Well so much for that one. I had my friend crank it over while i was listening and it popped real loud and now I have oil everywhere. I'm guessing it was the head gasket and the timing had slipped on it. I don't know if that caused the motor to blow or if I can rebuild it only time will tell...

    01 ex sohc wont start

    Yes. I have fuel pressure at the motor too. It wont fire with starting fluid either. Makes me think its spark related

    01 ex sohc wont start

    Do these have a cam sensor that could cause it? Or can the security do it? With both keys doing the same thing, that eliminates them but how do i check the rest of it?

    01 ex sohc wont start

    No luck

    01 ex sohc wont start

    Ok. I will try that tmrw. Hopefully that'll solve it and its not a timing problem

    It has 2 keys and no difference with them. I tried both

    01 ex sohc wont start

    I have replaced the coil pack and crank positioning sensor. Still not trying to fire with or without starting fluid. Any ideas on what next besides timing jumped? I thought with an interference motor there would be noise or motor not spinning if timing jumped and there would be enough fuel in...
