I changed tire sizes on my '99 Ranger from the original 225/75/15 to 255/70/16. My truck has a 3.73 gear ratio. What gear ratio do I need to change to in order to have the equivalent to the original tire size with my new tire size? Thanks.

I would like to know if Ford made an 8.8 that would fit my '87 2WD Ranger. I have a couple of 8.8's out of late '90's Rangers, but they are about 1" per side too wide. It appears they will bolt in, but the extra width would be a problem for my truck. I have someone who can narrow one of the...

I own an '87 Ford Ranger. I found some 15" wheels for sale that came off a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I would like to put these on my Ranger. Is there any problems with them fitting. I realize the hole center size on the two are probably different, but will they bolt on and what about...

Thinking of buying a vehicle and it is out of state. Anyone here used this site before? http://www.buyerprotector.us/ Thanks.

I recently purchased an '87 Ford Ranger 2WD with a 2.9 engine that needs a rebuild. The vehicle has no transmission, so I don't have to worry about bellhousing differences. I am interested in replacing the 2.9 with a 3.0 as I have read nothing but negatives regarding the 2.9. The 3.0 sounds to...

Will a 5 speed manual from a '98 Ranger 2.3 fit a '91-99 3.0L engine? Thanks.

I recently bought a 302 short block from a '97 Explorer to use in my V-8 Ranger project. I got it home from the salvage yard and took it apart. The number 2 rod had spun a bearing and munched the crank (as well as ruining the rod and the one adjacent to it). I have a 302 in a 1974 Ranchero that...

I picked up the trans a few days ago and an immaculate short block (5.0L) today. My truck is a '99 Ranger Sport 2WD. Any idea on heads to use for this that are in a reasonable price range. I am looking for a little bit of performance, but don't want to get too carried away. Any thoughts on head...

I recently purchased a non-running '87 Ranger that is in exceptional shape for it's age except fot the engine. The truck has 75,000 original miles. I did manage to get the truck running but it ran EXTREMELY rich. I took the engine apart as I am replacing the heads with later style heads due to...

I would like to put a 5.0L engine in my 1999 Ranger Sport 2WD. I figure the easiest way would be to find a donor 1999 Explorer 5.0L and use that engine, computer, engine wiring harness etc. My question revolves around the choice of an automatic trans. I was considering using one from a 1993...

What size wrench to remove these. aren't these allen heads? If so, what size allen socket. Thanks.

I recently purchased a '91 Mercury Grand Marquis to drive for the winter to keep my '99 Ranger Sport from being exposed to road salt. The Mercury is having an oil consumption problem. Oil is flowing through the tube that goes from the oil filler cap area to the throttle body. The oil is then...

I recently bought a '91 Mercury Grand Marquis (5.0L) to drive during the "salty" weather here in the Mid West. I do not want my Ranger to be exposed to this environment, and needed something else to drive. I looked in the owners manual to see what kind of transmission fluid it uses and the...

Is a 460 engine out of an early '70's F700 the same block as a passenger car or LT? Would the block be a 4 bolt block? Any help with identifying/ casting numbers etc greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone know what heads these are with this casting number? Thanks.

display does not light up. This is a used unit I purchased from a salvage yard. iI don't know what station is playing, what track is playing, and no clock. The unit appears to work okay other than that. Is there some easy fix I might be able to do to get the display to light up??? It is...

I looked at a Ford Motorsport website and all I saw were Mustang axles. Does Motorsport carry these? Any other manufacturers make them? Thanks.

I don't know if this has been posted before or not. Real neat site to use when changing tire sizes to compare old versus new and speedo difference. Just thought I would post a photo of my Ranger as I never did when I first joined this web site. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Looking for the gear ratios on my '99 Ranger trans. Thanks.

Any problems with putting a set of rear springs from an '03 Ranger 2WD conventional cab in to a '99 Ranger 2WD extended cab??? I'm hoping it is a direct bolt in. Thanks.

How do you program a 3rd key when you have 2 working keys? I need to know the procedure for a '99 Ranger. Thanks.

I want to change the steering wheel cover/ center section on my '99 Ranger. What is required to change this. I found another cover to replace it with that I like better. How do I swap it out and will I need to remove the air bag? Thanks.

Hopefully this is the right forum for this question...My airbag light is staying on in my '99 Ford Ranger 3.0L. I have the passenger side airbag shut off, don't know if that is doing it. After I start the truck the light appears to be flashing a code. It will flash 2 times, pause, flash 7 times...

I am interested in replacing the rear springs on my '99 Ranger Sport. I want something a little more HD than the stock 3 leaf rear springs. A local salvage yard has a couple of '97 Explorers that have 4 leaf rear springs and a '94 150 that has 5 leaf rear springs. Will these other vehicles rear...
