Re: '90 Fuel Problem. Maybe? 2.3
Yeah, I suppose checking on the pump makes sense. If you have the fuel line disconnected and cycle the key and aren't really getting fuel out, it may well be the pump. It wouldn't be a bad idea to...

Re: '90 Fuel Problem. Maybe? 2.3
If you suspect a fuel problem, try and listen when you turn the key to the on position to see if the fuel pump is running. If it is, try and get a hold of a fuel pressure gauge and check your fuel...

Wouldn't mind the 06 mirrors, but I kind of like the older style small emblems. I definitely wouldn't mind adding cruise control at some point

Re: Potential engine swap - would it work?
It MAY be possible to swap a 3.0 duratec into a ranger, but I would be very surprised if you found anyone who attempted it or was successful. To my knowledge, the duratec was only offered in a...

Re: Found this in my fender liner, what is it?
Weird. Is it metal or plastic? Rigid or flexible? If I had to guess I would maybe think it was some kind of PDR tool.

Re: Selling my Ranger
Nice mustang OP. Fwiw, there are aftermarket options to do away with the cam phasers and VCT system if you want to go down that road. Look up cam phaser eliminator kits.

Hello and welcome to the forum. In your case, I would definitely say get a 4wd. I have a 2wd, and it is a great fair weather truck, but it can be a hassle in snow. For where you plan to use it, 4wd...

Just curious, do you have manifold gauges? If so, what is your high pressure side doing? If I had to guess, I would say that your ac system wasn't likely overcharged, and you may want to look at a...

In the end, the biggest factor for fuel economy is the driver. I know I can get better mileage in my truck than I normally do, but my driving style doesn't normally lend itself to good gas mileage.

Sorry about your new truck. First thing I would check is your oil. Is it clean and clear, or is there coolant in there? If there is coolant in your oil, you are most likely looking at failed head...

I cringe every time I hear the term "millennial". Maybe it is all of the things that the word millennial signifies, and the fact that I fall into that age range. I certainly don't fit the...

Re: Whats the most you've hauled/pulled with your ranger?
Nice. Yeah, I suppose 4wd would be helpful there. I'm pretty sure if I tried to drag that boat up a wet, slippery boat launch in my truck, it may wind up in the drink.

Wow. That is a pretty big boat for a ranger. Were you just towing it, or did you launch it and retrieve it from the water with your truck?
