Re: O/D light steady blinking + CE light
Flashing O/D light means you have a transmission error code. Need to have it scanned to see what the code is.

Re: EGR Valve

Re: 1999 Ranger - Won't Start, tried everything

Re: Is a new Ford GEM module pre-programmed?
Technically you don’t have a GEM, you have a CTM (central timer module).
You can get a 2x4 GEM or a 2x4 CTM and they will both work. The only difference is the 2x4 GEM has the auto down function...

Re: Is a new Ford GEM module pre-programmed?
The main thing for a 2wd that requires programming is the tire size.
The programming function of forscan is only on the PC version.

It’s not a damn Mazda design. People need to stop spreading that shit. It’s essentially the same engine in the 1970s Pintos.

Won’t work on your 93 as it is OBD1 but it will work on your 2000 OBD2 truck. The adapter i use is BAFX products Bluetooth adapter (like $22 from Amazon).
