New ranger 98 xlt
Just bout my first ranger
144k.
Few minor things
No radio. Old wires from ghetto sound system. Scratches dents and dings but I don't care it's going off road
Few light bulbs burned out
Biggest issue is it randomly hold revs while driving
Iac dirty? Maf dirty ?
Or I saw a recall for something about it
Stoked to drive it
To do list
Get fixed up as Dailey
Bilstiens 1-3 inch lift
Springs
Off road read bumper tire holder
Eventually.
Rally America stuff to be under rally truck class or group 5
Doesn't have torsion bars, has coil overs stock?

Re: New ranger 98 xlt
Cangrat's on the new toy!
Yes, it is a coil spring suspension up front. Torsion bars are on 4wd, and on Edge models.
I hope you do a build thread. It will be interesting to see this develop.

so the gas pedal doesnt get stuck down when it happens then?
i would start with a tune up(plugs and wires and air & fuel filter if you havent already) then clean the IAC and MAF(look for the how tos on here)
and for the top corner lights, look underneath the lower light right above the bumper, you will see 2 phillips screws, take those out and the light will pop right out. the parking light and corner light are 1 piece fyi

Re: New ranger 98 xlt
On the front? Sweet
The revvy issue is mostly between shifts. After I get a smog cert I'll start tearing it apart
How do I remove the torx with the circle In the center and the other one with glue over it?
