Re: Noise From Rear Driver Axle Tube

Seems as the axel would have to be warped quite a bit to rub the housing, first thing to do would be to remove the brake drum and look for a dragging brake shoe or out of round drum.

Re: Another Shifter knob question

Most likely metric, take the shift knobs to the hardware store, find a bolt that screws in, then order knobs with that size and thread pitch.

Re: Found this bolt in my new Ranger door pocket - where did it come from?

The bold looks to have been used, might check to see if there is body damage, and parts have been changed.

Re: Tire and rim fitment verify 1995 ford ranger 4x4 4wd

Might not have any problems, but need to place the wheel on the hub, check for caliper clearance, and if the tire will interfear with making a full right or left turn.

Re: will 1986 4wd ford ranger rims fit a 1988 2wd

Bolt pattern should be the same, center hole might be bigger on the 4x4 wheels, and are both trucks disk or drum brakes?

Re: Long storie short 2.0 2.3 bell housing bolt patterns

2.0 and 2.3 look exactually the same, except for the different exhaust manafold and one barrel carb, but with a 2.0 in a 4x4, you might not get out of 3rd gear with hubs locked in.

Some rangers used heavy cast metal type I beams, some used stamped steel ones, might be something to do with which one you have.

Re: Tow truck put it in neutral, shifter still in park?

Roll under it from the drivers side and see if he just popped the cable off the ball stud, or used cable cutters and cut it off, or dropped the drive shaft.
