ranger

Hi, My 88 Ranger SC started giving me problems @ 10 days ago. I have had the same issue in the past but it went away for at least 6 months. It reappeared after our first cold rainy day of fall. Anyway, It will start right up first thing in the morning but is a bear to get started once she...

I've got a 94 ranger that I use for off roading and i have another 94 that is more of a parts vehicle. The parts ranger has a bench front seat that I want in the off roader. Is all of the seat mounting hardware and holes the same, or will it require modification to switch them? They are...

Looking to lift my 4WD 2001 Sport Trac. I can't really find any lift kits other than the SuperLift 4" lift. That's way to expensive for me, but I still am looking around. If the ranger lift won't work, any suggestions as to where I could one that will? Thanks! Oh and how high do I need...

OK, I have a '93 Ranger 4x4, 4.0L/5spd The pitman arm is bad. The tapered hole for the center link ball joint is worn out, so there is WAY too much slop in that connection. Sounds like an easy enough fix, right? Wrong... Every parts source I can find lists Moog K8754 (or a simlar "house"...

I'm David, 20 years old, and am about to graduate college. I've just recently realized that I like the idea of modifying and customizing vehicles. I am not familiar with basic mechanics. I do however have sufficient interest. My parents were gracious enough to buy me a 2007 Ranger 2WD 4 cyl. as...

I have a 97 explorer 4.0 ohv, automatic, all wheel drive. Intermitenly it won't start.(3 Times so far in last month) I can spray either directly into the air intake, and starts right up with no problems. I know it is getting spark, as it fires right up with starting fluid. I have swapped...

So I have had my Ranger for about a year now. It never had A/C and today I decided to fix it. I got a new compressor and coolant. After installing everything the air ran great, at first. After a 10 minute test drive it started overheating and threating to stall. I had previously replaced the...

My 2.3L 2002 Ford Ranger is experiencing some rough ride issues. After the vehicle warms a bit, at about 40 MPH, when i step on the throttle, the engine revs heavy, and feels as though it is downshifting. And then the Overdrive Off light turns on. I have replaced the steering column to attach...

So my dash lights went out and all of the indicators are working. I checked the fuses, and they are good. From what I've read it's common for the headlight switch to go bad. I pulled it out and looked at it and it looked fine. Would I notice any visible damage to the switch, specifically the...

Spotted in front of Goodwill and China Buffet. A Heartbreaker decal is located between the rear driver wheelwell and taillight. Look closely.

2001 Ranger XLT Automatic sprang a coolant leak today from a pinhole in the fitting that the lower hose connects to on the top side of the hose. there is a temp sensor screwed into the same fitting on top... I have found every other part for the cooling system, but not this fitting. Is it...

Hi, I have a 1997 Ford Ranger XL Standard 4X4. The issue I am having is that my 4WD light is turned on and will not turn off. I have a manual shift for my 4WD so i have shifted that back and forth to see if i could get to turn off and i have had no luck. My understanding is that if that light...

Ok so I tried sifting through the site to find what I need, because I'm sure it's on here, however I've come up dry. Here is the deal. New to me truck. Looks like the maint has been immaculate, it's sat for about 5 mo. on a dealer lot so when I get in and drive it and it shifts late and hard...

Ok guys, I could really use some advice here. I consider myself a pretty good mechanic, including diagnostics, and I feel a little stupid asking this stuff. However, I'm just not real familiar w/ the front drive train setup on these things, as I've never dug into one before. I've got a '93...

I have a 2001 ford ranger edge, all stock. I would like to put In a new stereo, one preferably with the USB port for my iPod to hook up to, or if it comes down to it, an auxiliary cable. I have no clue how many watts i need or if every stereo fits. I do not want the big fancy touchscreen...

Hello everyone, an old Ranger guy joining up. Thanks for having me. So, I have a 2002 Ford Ranger. Lately, my temp gauge has been acting strangely. When I first start my truck, the engine temp will be on "C" and cold as usual. Within 5-10 minutes, the temperature has risen all the way up to...

I have a 96 Ranger that has been making clicking noises when in gear (when stopped). I opened up the hood and watched as I had it in drive with the brakes down and the AC clutch will engage and disengage repeatedly making a clicking sound. If the AC is ON this does not happen; it does not happen...

I have a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge, that was recently misfiring in Cylinder 2. I replaced the spark plugs and wires and it seemed great. Drove roughly 20 miles and the check engine light turned right back on and flashes like crazy. The car also vibrates harder than normal. HELP?

I recently purchased a 1996 Ford Ranger from a friend who on purchase informed me that the wiper motor did not work. I checked the fuses, they were all good. Turning on the wipers did absolutely nothing So I went ahead and purchased a new motor, removed the old, and went through the process of...

So I have a 2000 ranger xlt 3.0 automatic that just had a new engine put in 3000 miles ago. Then i was getting a 2-3 flare. o/d was burnt up. Had a rebuild. Still having 2-3 flare. when i start the truck in the morning it shifts like a dream 1-2 2-3 3-4. for about 15 minutes. It will shift...

Hi, I want to know what ford fans thinks about the Ford Ranger 3.0L 2007, Turbo Diesel, Power Stroke. This is the Limited version. A friend is selling me one so I want to know information about it.:)

95, 4-cyl, 2.3L engine with factory air. Had this truck for about 8 years.The AC used to get so cold you could hang meat in the cab. This year the AC has lost a lot of it's cooling power. Freon has been checked and added a bit to place it just on the higher half of the normal zone. The big...

Hey guys, anybody seen this scenerio? Pressure is running high (100 or so) but it won't engage the compressor. 3 people have tried to jump it and it will not jump, however every once in a while it will engage just for a few seconds on its own without jumping just to tease me. When it does...

Hello, i've been doing some research and cant find the answers i'm looking for. I have a 98 explorer sport, and i found a great deal on some 4.10 gears out of a 2001 ranger, but i know the ranger 8.8's are only 28 spline, so my question is, will they work in my explorer? Thanks for any help, and...

Hey guys, I'm brand new here. I currently have a ranger, but have a huge interest in the sport trac; my only downfall against them is the 4' bed. so here is my question: Is there anyone on here or anyone who has seen a ranger bed on a sport trac, but most importantly, do you have...

Hi there. I just got a red 2006 Ranger Sport as a graduation present. I was curious what sort of stuff y'all have added to yours. I'm mostly interested in lift kits, bull bars, and anything to help acceleration.

give me some feed back and i can give more pictures i chopped the center frame where the wing windows where and then removed the hatch to add a 80's ranger tail gate what yall think?

Hey guy, need some help Id'ing my Ranger. '93 Ranger, 4.0L-OHV, 5spd, 4x4, reg cab The fender badges say XLT, but: 1.) it has manual windows, mirrors, and locks 2.) no cruise or tilt steering 3.) it has "sporty" true bucket seats, complete with power lumbar and bolster leg support.(but...

Awhile back someone had stated that a certain year of Ranger rearend would bolt up to the Explorer because the springs were spaced the same width so you didn't have to modify to fit. This way it would be easier to lift it. Anyone know what year and rearend info?

I have a carb'd v8, c6, and solid axles. Needless to say none of my gauges work anymore. I was wondering if this would fit in the dash of a 95 Ranger? It would look a lot cleaner than a non functional dash, and gauges stuck all over the place. Its a race panel for a 94-04 Mustang. Link

Wipers move freely when I use my hands and the motor is running.So I am assuming that it is the linkage. How do get to the linkage ? And what parts need to come off ?

Hi there, I just bought my daughter a '96 Ranger 4.0L 4x4 that we just discovered does not have low beams! High beams work, but no low beams. I suspect its the headlight switch. Could use some tips on how to diagnose and repair. Thanks, Gbluesdude

A few weeks ago my Ranger's headlights started not coming on when I switched them on. The high beams won't come on either but when I flash them they do. If I flash the high beams repeatedly the headlights tend to come on, eventually. Any ideas on what the problem is? I'm thinking its a short or...

Hi guys, Im swapping a blown ford ranger tranny w/ a 3.0 flex fuel engine with a 1999 ranger with the same drivetrain. The 99 tranny is 3/4 of an inch off and i cant get the tranny all the way in. I thought it might be the input shaft, but im also leaning towards the torque converter. I am using...

im looking at getting a 1994 ford ranger with 6inches of lift and 33's. it has the 4.0 v6. whats the gas milage gunna be like and what should i look out for. Its a 5speed but i heard the tranny could be an issue.

Hey, I really need some answers about my truck. I drive a 2007 Ford Ranger XLT. It has a 4-cylinder, 2.3L engine, manual trans. It has been a great truck for me as so far, but the engine began shaking very hard yesterday on the highway while driving to school. I let it coast in neutral for a...
