Re: New Ranger Owner

Alright so found where the hose went yada yada, fixed some other stuff.

It's still a gross polluter. I really don't have the money to have a mechanic fix it, and I can't apply for up to $500 fix...

Re: New Ranger Owner

Nope, has to be OEM stock replacement, which is $100 more than normal cats. Thanks Commiefornia.

Okay, so I fixed another fuel leak, got a new seal for the fuel pump, used some silicone with it....

Bad news and good news

Re: New Ranger Owner

I went ahead and ordered a new RABS connecter as well as EGR gasket (mine was destroyed when I took it off, so that could be the vacuum leak) and O2 sensor (it was very slow in transitioning so that...

Re: The "what do you hate about your Ranger today" thread

I hate that my ranger isn't 4x4 today (everyday).

But on a serious note, I hate that it hasn't passed smog. Here's to patience and tough hands.

Re: New Ranger Owner

Yes speedo works fine. When it gets to 65+ then it jumps a bit, but that's it.

The HC was high and NO was high as well. Attached pic.

Re: New Ranger Owner

This is my plan, but first have to fix current problems. Two things it didn't pass:
EVAP fuel leak
Emissions
I fixed the Evap fuel leak by replacing filler neck/hose.

Re: New Ranger Owner

Modesto. I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to wrenching. What would I have to do to switch it over to 4wd? Or just getting a 2wd tranny would work?

Re: New Ranger Owner

So I called the nearby pick-n-pull and they have an AWD 97 5.0 for 169.99 and 50 core efee (whatever that is??) and then tax.

He kept telling me it won't fit in a Ranger. The only problem I see...

But if I have the donor explorer for the 5.0 engine swap, and the explorer has 4x4, why not? I'd be using the rear end along with the tranny and engine already.

Is there a post for what years coincide with the ranger years? Or as long as it's same year or newer engine? Since it's not out of a ranger will it make a difference?

Sorry for all the questions!!

Re: New Ranger Owner

I like that, Commiefornia. Would swapping it to 4x4 have an effect on emissions? I know for registration its more but other than that..?

Wonder how much engines are for that year.. or newer. Welp...
