Re: 2001 2.5l Single cab fuel pump replacement questions

Thanks for all the great info. I wasn't aware there were options for bad bolts, or that I could buy just the pump unit. O'Reilly's never mentioned that. The full harness cost $309 I think. Time for...

Re: AC Compressor won't stay engaged [video]

This is not what I want to hear!! I was so pleased when it started right up. I think the truck is in good shape now, but I bought it for $500 and sinking $300 plus perhaps more like you said into it...

AC Compressor won't stay engaged [video]

My 2001 2.5l Ranger sat for about a month and a half while I recovered from a broken foot. Started right up on the first key turn though. So that's good. However, the A/C no longer works.

So when I install the new shocks the nut only needs to be as tight as I can get it with just my hand holding the top?

Any idea how I disconnect the fuel pump relay? Do I just unplug the fuse for it in the power distribution box?

Never mind, just unplugging the fuse is fine.

Wouldn't a compression issue cause a rough idle? Or not necessarily?

On the 2.5l is it necessary to check the driver side plugs for a compression test or is the passenger side good enough? Thanks!
