Re: Disscuss: Door Glass repplacement (93-97)

Great write up.

I think this applies to 1998 and newer Rangers as I did this with my '00 and it looks exactly the same.

Re: Unusual shaking and can't figure it out

Did you notice if the shuddering only happens at a certain speed? If it is speed related, it is definitely something related to the drivetrain (u-joint, axle, wheel bearing). If it is a specific...

Re: Radio power wiring

Re: What are these two wires and what happens when you connect them?

The relay acts as a switch. So when you turn on your headlights, it sends power to the relay, which then turns on power to your LEDs. That way, you do not have to have them powered all the time and...
