ranger

My original chrome rear bumper turned into a rotted mess. I wanted another chrome bumper to match, thought i ordered an Explorer bumper but it ended up being a Ranger bumper. Was able to make it work with some cutting and welding. I'll post some pics later, it doesn't fit the body too well on...

If anyone can tell me the exact wire to wire (colors) between the 97 Explorer and 97 Ranger I would really appreciate it :) My Ranger/Explorer project is almost complete, running and driveable and just need to get the power window switch/door lock switches installed, and I'm going nuts trying to...

I'm putting some money into my 2000 Explorer, and decided I want to be like the cool kids with their stupid crossovers and car payments, but without the unibody construction, transverse drivetrain, or car payments. I'm gonna do that by getting some of those cool WeatherTech floor liners. In...

Hey all, I am chatting with a guy parting out his 07 Ranger atm and he has a set of Ranger fender flares, Would they fit my 04 Sport Trac with little modification required ?

Looking for any advice on a build I'm looking to do. My rangers stock 4.0 is getting pretty worn out at almost 250k miles. I'm looking to get a junkyard engine and rebuild it in my spare time (I work a full time job as a engine machinist so i have access to the equipment) I'm mainly looking to...

I recently pulled my 4.0 motor and completely redid all of the chains and guides. I even put in a new water pump and oil pump. Finally got it all together and back in the truck. Everything seems great, except I am now having an oil pressure issue…. Now I understand the gauge is largely...

Can anyone tell me how many times the camshaft syncroniser rotates for every revolution of crankshaft harmonic balancer? If I'm not mistaken is it 2 times? This would be on a 4.0 V6 OHV (NON-SOHC) I feel stupid. I rebuilt this 97 ranger engine and the timing chain was set at 6 and 12...

About 6 years ago I ripped out my old non-functioning AC system that had been sitting empty for 15 years and swapped in a couple of ranger parts to make it heat only. At the time I lived in a cold wet place and never envisioned needing AC. Fast-forward to the present and I find myself living in...

There is a relatively loud popping noise coming from the passenger side of my 97 Ford Ranger when I accelerate. Mostly happens at speeds over 45mph but happens under that speed as well. It has also made the truck run rather rough. (I.E. Causing it to shake and rumble). Any information helps as...

I'll start here. I replaced the fuel pump today, 7/3/19. Now and then my truck would not start for no apparent reason. I would start it and it would die only to not start again. Sometimes in gear sometimes not. It acted like it was flooded then would sound like no gas at all. I'd check all the...

Hey, I have recently bought a ford ranger with a supposed low mileage tranny swap.. it bust on us, so got a new tranny, replaced the clutch, slave cylinder, throw out bearing etc.. putting the tranny in.. got it all in place, 5 of the 6 tranny-engine bolts in place, except the very top passenger...

Hey guys, I recently had the drivers seat in my ranger collapse. It no longer stays locked in position. When I pull the lever it reclines instead of coming back up. And when I pull it up and then lean back against it it just leans back down flat making it quite difficult to see where I am...

Well my girlfriends 2004 ranger edge has a recessed exhaust valve, so it’s time for new heads. Ive been looking around but haven’t really found all that much. I know the stock ones are built crappy, but what’s a good aftermarket set to throw on? I figure we should get new valves for it as well...

Hey, I have a question regarding a lift kit. I used to own a '98 SOHC automatic 2WD ranger, had a lift kit for it but I moved on before i could install it. Now I have a '97 Explorer sport OHV 4x4 with the M5OD manual, and the lift kit is still in my basement- is there any chance that the...

So ill apologize right off because I'm sure there is a post for this but i have been searching for days trying to find the information i need to finish my project. Base knowledge needed here is that i bought a 90 ranger with blown engine and a broken motor mount and bad radiator for extremely...

My cruise control isn't working, no surprise there it seems. Has never worked in my ownership. Replaced the cutoff switch and still nothing. I found a post on Ford Forums Online http://www.fordforumsonline.com/threads/self-test-cruise-control-check-engine.1486/ with the cruise control self...

Hello! I have a 1998 4.0ohv 4wd. Recently I got the p1309 code and also the p0171,p074 bank 1 and 2 lean codes. I proceed to change out the Cam Position Sensor and syncro. I did them both correctly exactly by the book. Made sure to put the engine at top dead center ect. I reset the computer (...

Hey guys! Any idea if 06+ Explorer/Mountaineer mirrors will swap to a 99-01 Explorer (or a 01-05 Sport Trac or 95-05 Ranger)? I know the 06+ Ranger mirrors should work, but I am wanting a puddle lamp and defrost built into the mirror and some of the 06+explorer mirrors have that. I understand...

My muffler rusted out on my way to work, and when I went to wire it up I got dripped on by something. I got home and went to leave again, and notices a HUGE puddle of tranny fluid from the underneath of the passenger side. I watched the fluid pour (small stream) out of the pipe thing... Idk what...

what ranger motors are interchangeable my 2004 3.0 just went out I have a 99' 3.0 on deck will that fit?

Hey guys, long time reader on the website first time poster. I have a 1986 ford ranger I got a few days ago with a 2.9l v6 and I love the truck so far. only issue is there is a vacuum line I found broken off when facing the truck with the hood open its on the right sight of the throttle body...

I have a 1993 Ranger that's been giving me some problems. About 3 months ago the starter began to drag turning the motor over until eventually it stopped all together. The truck has roughly 350k miles on it so I assumed it was just the starter going bad and so I replaced it. Well here we are...

So I am acquiring a 05 Sport Trac. It is in really good condition with low miles. The only problem is that it is the model that has the bag, and the bag, is gone, and I rather have a different console anyways! I was wondering if you guys knew if the 03 Ranger Floor Console would be a good...

Hi guys, I have a 91 awd aerostar (in Washington if anyone interested) and am curious if the steering shaft can swap into my on ranger? My ranger has two U joints in its shaft one about half way up and another just inside the firewall that kicks to the left to steering wheel. (It has a custom...

What's up Guys, figured i'd introduce myself. I have an 01 Ranger, and thanks to this board I have actually gained a ton of information since they are very similar vehicles. also the aerostar ranger expolorer parts interchange list is the main reason I decided to join...I can't find the...

I have a Explorer Sport with the 4.0 SOHC with bad timing chain cassettes. I am going to replace the engine with a 4.0 that is in a '94 Ranger. Is their any known problems before I get into this? Thanks in advance Don Gratz

My truck has a clicking sound that sounds like a spark plug now. I took it for a spin and when put the pedal to the metal the engine misses and it just revs. Normal when just going like 25-30 mph. I Believe my engine is out of time bc I replaced the timing belt the other day and accidentally...

Hey folks, First time poster here, hopefully I do things right. I am currently driving a 97' Ford Ranger V6. I've been having some AC problems lately and I'm hoping to find some things to look into. Early this Summer the compressor was cycling pretty heavily and I took that as a sign...

I've lost vacuum in my HVAC system and all air comes out of my defrost. I pulled the vacuum reservoir and it was half filled with a gas/ oil mixture. Its smelled like gas in my truck for a few months but then just recently the vacuum has died and I get air only out of defrost. I cant believe...

I have done a lot of research on upgrading the front brakes of my 93 Explorer with those from a 95 Ranger. I really like the idea of the dual calipers and larger rotors. TedJ's write-up "1st Gen 4wd to 95-97 Ranger Brake Swap Info/Parts List" does a pretty thorough job. Thanks Ted...

Hey guys and gals, I am brand new to the forum and new owner of an older explorer, my first Ford. I bought a 1999 Explorer 2 door 4x4 from my step father out of necessity and lack of options (nothing to do with make and model, just older than I would have liked). I am a single father who...

Hi all, First time posting. Appreciate any help you may be able to give. I recently replaced the compressor, drier, and orifice tube. Wanted to do it the right way so I had a friend who does AC help me evacuate, pull vacuum and charge up. When idle the system seems fine. When driving the...

I have 99 explorer sport with an sohc recently converted to manual with the m50d. Ive tried leaving the solenoids plugged in to fool the pcm but the tranny codes always come back. my question is which model/year fords will have a pcm that will be plug and play? ive been told that a 2001 ranger...

Hello, I am working on installing a 96 Ranger engine (2.3L, 4-cyl) in a 94 Ranger. Most everything has gone pretty smoothly. The problem I have now is with the crankshaft position sensor. I posted this question on CarGurus and SuperScout1 said that I should look here for advice from...

Hey guys, got an 03 ranger edge supercab. The Tranny is slipping in overdrive...its more of a jerk at high speed. I searched on fordparts.com by vin number and they say I've got the 5R55E. My question is can I use slightly different trannies like a 4r55e, a 5r44e, or a 5r55e from a newer ranger...
