Yeah I’m still on here. For like 2 or 3 years I was getting email notifications on this forum then suddenly they turned off, I’m still around and the truck is still my daily driver. Still rips burnouts everywhere I go, even if I’m not trying. Fun stuff, I may have forgotten to post here that I...

I’m using the 90 1 wire temp sensor that came off the old engine, I forgot to add that it was turned down on the lathe to be the same size and thread as the 99 sensor hole it fits into, it was like m10 or m12. Actually my temp sensor went out a few months ago and I’ve had a new one rattling...

Yeah it definitely is, especially with a 5spd. This engine is actually really cool with being able to sit in 2k-3k rpms in the torque band and be able to lug around town and within speed limited areas, from 45mph 5th gear I can double down shift and rip 4K-5k rpms and hit 60 in what feels like...

Even though I did add those washers to my engine mounts, my oil pan is still pretty scarily close to those bolt heads on the crossmember, I might have to check that out after my diff is put back together, if your wondering what I replaced with the engine rebuild I’ll tell ya. New main & crank...

My 4wd traction arm mounting bolts did infact get very close to my oil pan, it took me 8,000 miles before one day I was roughly flooring my ranger through an old logging road with some big potholes and when I can back to town, it was pouring oil. Took the oil pan off to replace it with a new one...

I found the website from the original manufacturer of my intake parts and they have free shipping over $10. This might be your best bet, I snapped some pics of the same exact parts I used for you with part numbers and pricing. I also used a 90 degree bend but I didn't snap a picture of it, I'm...

In between my pod air filter, and my maf sensor housing is a "spectre" brand maf sensor adapter was what I think it was labeled as, at oreillys. It was around $12-15USD and it has a plastic bung for smaller sensors or for a vacuum line? Well I just removed the plastic and the IAC was the correct...

Recently I removed my leaf spring helpers in the rear that were making the ride super stiff and I lost 2.5" of lift in the rear, so as I sit today it's 2" of body lift all the way around and it has a ford 8.8 swap with the leafs ontop of the axle not underneath it, with a 4 leaf spring pack from...

I'd also like to note, when I put the bigger tires on was the same day I put the running boards on, and my tires rubbed the running boards when turning so I went to the junkyard and got a lift kit. I went to two 1980's Ford f-250's 2wd and removed their front coil spring seats. The reason why I...

About 2 months ago my fuel pump relay burnt out, I thought it was the fuel pump so I ordered a high flow, high horsepower aftermarket fuel pump designed for the ford ranger I have. 255lph and it was advertised as up to 500hp compatibility. So I replaced the fuel pump for $25 then figured out it...

Please note, I did have to cut off the plastic slot ment for a cable with led barrel style throttle cable, and I believe I got a 1/4" or 10/32 ball head screw and rounded the head on a bench grinder til it fit tight in my ball style throttle cable and bolted it into the spot 180 from the spot I...

So I have some holes above where I did not post additions to my truck so I'll fill them in now, thanks for talking on here it brings me back to look at what I've done and what I've forgotten to update. It used to be on 15" rims with 30"x9.5 tires. It's on the same rims but now on 31"x10.5...

You said you were looking at tuning also, I have been waiting to save up for a tuner myself and here's exactly what I want to get, it's the cheapest I could find for me to be able to tune myself without paying someone else to tune it for me. Here is the chip...

I don't quite remember if I listed it earlier on this forum but my 1990 chassis stock exhaust was 2" and the 99 motor I swapped in had 2.25" exhaust, and when I bought my custom exhaust from the manifolds to the tip I had my cat removed and I moved up to 2.5" exhaust, here was my bill, it was...

So recently I've done a bunch of work on a homemade aluminum electric fan shroud. The electric fan I got from a Volvo fit perfectly in the shroud I made to the exact dimensions of the radiator core size. 20" total height 18" total core height (1" tab on both top and bottom) 17.75"...

I would also like to point out, it is very much preferred to use the newer alternator because the older alternator is 80amp and the newer alternator is 130amp (Those are factory numbers) that is an alternator upgrade plus just from the engine swap lol

okay so ive done some more work on my truck lately, so it used to idle at around 1500-1800 rpms so I thought MAYBE my tachometer was off. I know my 90 shares interchangeable parts between 89-92 and on youtube I saw that a 92 ford f-250 tachometer repair was done with the removal of the...

My goals are 1. Double the engine output (double was just a thought and now it's the goal, I'll be okay if it's 30-80hp less) 2. Do something that's never been done before 3. Build my first performance motor (I've rebuilt a couple of motors back to stock/oem specs but never any major...

What I want to do, is take my daily driver that I already have over 200 hours of work into for the motor swap, invest about 2-3 months of paychecks into (since I have zero bills to pay for) and have a motor that has double the output of my daily driver. Then when the motor is finished as it sits...

My 4.0 sohc is a swap into a 1990 ranger. I can assume 207hp factory. Well you've got to factor in egr delete which is probably a couple hp, my high flow exhaust with no cats, no baffled muffler just a straight through muffler with stainless mesh packing. PCV delete reduces hot air in the...

Oh man, I'm so sad that moderator "SVO" deleted all his comments cause I could probably gain knowledge from his build... also a little annoyed I just read 13 pages to find out how the stroker 4.0 sohc turned out and there's no answer. I'm looking at attempting 400hp N/A I'll be happy with 370...

"Ground (2) indicates point where component is grounded directly to body" Does that above phrase mean each separate sensor used to be grounded to the aluminum intake manifold which passed a ground to the block then the block to chassis? It doesn't have a single wire color code past that dot...

Okay so, laying in bed tonight thinking about horsepower upgrades for my pickup and I get slapped in the face with my thoughts. Not about horsepower but proper grounds! So my truck never changes its idle, so it's probably stuck in closed loop somehow. Well I remembered suddenly that when I...

Okay from the diagram below it seems my main alternator to power distribution box fuse may be 60 amps, which is approx 80% of the full potentiometer of the old 80 amp alternator. Now this secondary fuse which says it could be 50 amps is not existent in my pickup, but I bet the wire is there...
