Re: Ford Ranger

How many keys do you have currently? If at least 2 and they are not clones then you can program it using the magic sequence (Don't recall it but it involves the cruise buttons.)

Re: Belt length without P/S or AC?

Well the string measured 42". There are the following sizes I can find.
39.764 in
40.551 in
41.339 in

I am inclined to go with the 40.5 one. Sound about right?

Re: Belt length without P/S or AC?

Not my choice either but i was an idiot. It seems that even with a pump hose that leaks all the fluid out it is still a bad idea to remove the hose and still run the truck. Literally melted the pump...

Re: 2001 oil pump
