Re: How To Replace Thermostat 2.5L (1999)

Hey guys - so sorry - one more question. Not sure if this is related or not.

Re: How To Replace Thermostat 2.5L (1999)

Hi guys -

One lingering question. The guy at Autozone told me capacity for the coolant was 3 gallons 50/50 mix, so I bought three gallons. I have the first 2 gallons in there, and there is still...

Fog light housing swap?

Hi everyone -

I'm looking at LED options for the fog lights. Looks like I can simply buy LED bulbs, or replace the entire housing. I'm leaning towards replacing the entire fog light with...

Re: How To Replace Thermostat 2.5L (1999)

Update #2 -

Checked on it after about an hour of shutting it off the last time - reservoir is empty! So I guess the first gallon worked its way into the system. I'm still fuzzy on how to best...

Deadeye -

Did you do this on your 2009? Getting ready to do this on my 2007-- wondering if Robert's pics were close or close enough. :)

Thanks!

Re: Air horn - regular horn

Ahhh...great info - thank you! So I thought I was hearing the fuse getting ready to trip again or something in that neighborhood -- now I get why the noise is really coming from the SJB. Thanks!

Re: Air horn - regular horn

Spoke too soon - I saw the dome light go on when I replaced the fuse (dome + horn = same fuse) and didn't want to test the horn until I had it re-mounted and in place. Air horn still doesn't work. ...

Re: Air horn - regular horn

Cool, thanks. Pricey little guy! Another newbie question. So, it's obvious, then, that these two wires are wired up into the horn system since they were powering the airhorn, correct?

I need...

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. Just got my first Ranger for my 15 year old son. I'm going to drive it until he gets his license. :)
