    Explorer 5.0

    I have a friend that just purchased a 1999 Ford Explorer 5.0 V8 with the intensions of removing the motor and installing it in his Wrangler. If he unhooks the automatic transmission from the 5.0 will the computer still let the engine run normal or will it put it in a "limp home" mode? He plans...

    1992 Ranger Clutch Problems

    My 1992 Ford Ranger 4x4 4cyl 5-spd has a clutch issue. I have had a small leak in my clutch system which requires me to refill it every 3-4 months. Today after about a 120 mile trip, I pulled up to a stop light and noticed there was no clutch pedal pressure when I pushed it...and the truck...

    Brake Problems Again

    I have a 1992 Ford Ranger 4x4. About 2-3 weeks ago I had new brakes installed all the way around and a new sensor put in the pumpkin. This didn't take away my "rear anitlock" light...but we have determined that its the ABS valve which I don't plan on replacing (its just a work truck). Now...

    ABS Pump

    I have been trying to figure out my "rear anitlock" light for about a month now. I have replaced the rear brakes and the sensor in the axle. People have told me it was my RABS valve on the frame rail. Is there any way to fix this other than just replace it? The reason I ask is because its a...

    Ford Ranger A/C Question

    I have a 1992 Ford Ranger 4x4 4cyl 5spd. When I first start the truck up and turn the air on it seems to be getting cold, but a couple minutes down the road it stops getting cool for just about 30 seconds. Then it acts normal (ice cold) for the rest of the trip. Is this normal? Thanks.

    If your shift motor on your transfer case is acting up will it keep your push button 4x4 lights from coming on? My truck won't go into 4x4 and I have no lights. Thanks.

    Ranger Leveling

    I just bought a 1991 Ford Ranger 4x4 and I want to level it out in the next couple of weeks. I believe I can level it by just getting a set of coil spring spacers for the front from Daystar. Please let me know if this is correct. Also, with these spacers...will I need new shocks? Thanks.
