Outside of that, if...

Re: fresh rebuilt m5r1 won't stay in 5th gear

5th/rev when a M5 is rebuilt should be getting the 5th/rev update.

Re: New '97 Heater Core - Strange Design

They should be fixed. Period. No 'adjustment' or 'rotation'.

ZERO truck info but most Rangers I've encountered, the front license plate BRACKET, not frame, is attached via a big ole metal rivet. Though, most can use a 1/4" bolt and nut if you can access the...

Re: Drum Brake Replacement Probelm

This could be as simple as the crust built up on the axle/wheel mounting flange preventing the drum from full 'insertion' if you will.

Attack it with a wire wheel and see what happens. Won't hurt...
