    93 Ranger overheating & running rough

    uhhh... coolant is rust colored? it should be green... I would flush it out big time and replace all that nasty coolant. also check the fan clutch, spin the fan when the engine is cold, then spin the fan when the engine is hot. it should be harder to spin hot

    94 explorer Drivetrain question! Need help?!?!

    the front drive shaft and axles will only turn when either the hubs are locked or the transfercase is in 4x4, if the hubs are locked but not in 4x4 then the front will not be receiving power. it is possible to have your hubs engaged while the transfercase is in 2wd and that would cause your...

    rear window

    would be pretty cool to do a bronco top mod, so you could take the top half of the roof off, like on the broncos.

    Anyone have a spare axle nut

    I know that the manual hub conversions nut does not come with the grooves for one, so those people run with out the key. your best bet would prolly be a junkyard, or maybe if you have some tools you could make one yourself.

    Radiator Exploded

    pretty easy job, I did it myself, I did remove the fan, just makes it easier to work, with more room tool is a giant flat wrench, just tell the guy at autozone you want to rent it, they'll charge ya for it and refund it when you bring it back. if your on the original fan clutch it might need...

    Alternator Problem? Maybe?

    my gauge always reads around the L in normal, I've had it tested and it doesnt have any problems... recently I've noticed sometimes it bounces down randomly... but not consistently enough to be able to test it.

    Radiator Exploded

    I dunno if I would want to use a junk yard radiator.. might have to try a couple before you found one that didnt leak. when I replaced mine I got a new one at radiatorbarn.com cost 130ish for the one for auto transmissions. and when the first one arrived damaged they took it back and sent a...

    Anyone else hate 'yer brakes?

    I dont use my torque wrench putting on the lug nuts. but I feel like I tighten them all to a pretty similar pressure. I guess I'll use the torque wrench in the future and get them right at spec.

    Anyone else hate 'yer brakes?

    I did my drums for the first time at about 150,000 they didnt look too bad either. my rotors seem to get mildly warped really easily, I put new rotors on around spring break, and they're already warped a little. very frustrating. I dont abuse them, dont ride them downhill, always coast for...

    Brake Fluid

    if you look up the amount of fluid, lemme know... I'm curious... I've seen some kits that apparently let one person bleed them... I dont know how well they work, I've always done it with 2 people... one working the pedal and the other the valve.

    power steering fluid

    I've read that the power steering fluid can squirt out through a hole in the cap when you crank the steering wheel without having the car on or moving. I would assume you have lost it that way if your not seeing any leaks. and I don't know about the antifreeze... mine is fluorescent green
