Re: Lost head gasket at 294K

Re: 93 ranger blowing luke warm air not hot

Try running some air or water through your heater core, probably clogged up a little since you didn't use it all summer. Just don't put too much pressure through it or you'll be replacing it.

Re: install body lift without hoist?

all you need is a jack and a couple blocks of wood, you don't need to take the body or bed completely off. Just loosen all the body mount bolts and do one side at a time. Not hard or very time...

Re: Ceramic Or Semi Metallic

I like the ceramics, less dust and last damn near forever. They do have a little less stopping power but with how long they last I can deal with it.

Re: coil spacers

spacers will level the front end but you won't gain any extra flex, you would want to go with some skyjacker 132x coils which will give you the 2" of lift to level the front end and give you the...
