Engine Knocking - 2.5l 98

Re: Transmission Fluid Change?

I was talking to a Ford (dealer) guy the other day about Mercon V vs. Gear Oil. I told him I used Lucas to change the tranny fluid. He told me that I should have used Mercon V and that it was fine...

Re: Air Bag light is on

Tim, actually disabling the side airbag (with a battery disconnect reset) killed the code. For now I guess, don't ride with me.

Thoughts?

Re: Can a tachometer be added

Jason, thanks for the tip! This is exactly the kind of thing I was wanting. I am really just interested in collecting data about engine.

Re: Ranger Down

I ain't following you. Don't they call it a flasher relay?

Re: Ranger Down

Re: 5 speed transmission question, 97 2WD

My shifting problems have been clearing up after changing the transmission fluid with Lucas gear oil.

Now it seems to only be notchy in 1st and sometimes in 2nd, and only when downshifting?

Re: Air Bag light is on

Ok, got'cha. The code is 2-7. I did some checking and it looks to be a problem with the side airbag idicator light. Some other guys had the same problem with a burnt out bulb and replaced it with a...

Re: Air Bag light is on

It flashed yesterday, today it is was staying on solid (or maybe I missed the flash this morning). Or are you saying it flashes, then goes solid?

Re: Air Bag light is on

Thanks guys.

Any ideas what this switch was that was buzzing, but went off with the turn signal on?

Also, I read that there is a clutch related sensor/switch under the driver dash too. I am...

Air Bag light is on

This is kind of a followup to a post I made on Friday, but with a new symptom.

I had someone shampoo the carpet on Friday and although it looks great, when I started it up there was a consistent...

Re: Transmission Fluid Change?

I am having the same problem and will be changing the fluid. However, I have a leak... a medium to bad leak that looks like it is coming from above the drain bold.

What are some common leak spots...

Re: 5 speed transmission question, 97 2WD

I am having a similar problem. Although, my clutch seemed to operate correctly the first time after I cranked the engine, I could only shift once. After that, it was like hitting a bring wall when...

Can a tachometer be added

One of the things that I don't understand about my ranger is; why is there no tachometer when it is a 5spd?

So I was wondering, is the engine setup for a tachometer hookup? I have heard that you...

Re: Can you upgrade a 4 cyl to a 6?

Cool thanks Bob. That is a little more than I am capable of tackling, yet. And Gary makes a good point. I think I will focus on the positive side of my 2.5 for now, 25mpg. :P

Can you upgrade a 4 cyl to a 6?

I tried a search on this topic, so my bad if this has been discussed.

I was just curious what this would require (besides the engine). I have a 2.5l 98, 5spd and I wouldn't mind a little more...

Quick Fix - Blend Door (When your A/C works and only blows out heat)

Hey guys,

Well, my 98 is getting close to going to the paint shop. I had to be certain that everything was working right before I dropped some cash on paint. However, I got one of my two issues...
