It was time to upgrade things in my interior of my '01 Ranger (Edge) 4x4. I didn't like the Edge rubber bottom of my interior at the time when I bought my truck back in '03, but over time I've grown to like the ease of which it can be cleaned with spills, dogs, trash, etc., SO, I wanted to...

I'm getting some Wet Okole custom seat covers with seat heaters dor my '01 Ranger and supposedly the heaters each need their power supply. I was going to put some switches in a filler panel by the air bag rectangular hole and then run some power back out to the fuse panel by the driver door...

I know I saw this on someone's truck, but I saw a switch panel on a Ranger that is at the bottom of the dash in the center over the transmission hump. My '01 is an Edge and down at bottom of my dash center is just a large 4x2" rectangular hole by the airbag on/off light. It is deep and I just...

I have an '01 Ranger with the 4.0 (66K) and it has a Granatelli MAF. It has been on my truck for a little over 50K now. My truck was stumbling sometimes, especially after being hot and it would nearly die. So, I spent $8 for a can of MAF cleaner, took my MAF off, cleaned it, reinstalled it...

My neighbor has this truck and he's thinking of selling it. I'm thinking of buying it to flip it. Anyone know a real value on a one owner non-smoker 2003 Ranger XLT extended cab 5-spd with 4.0 and 4x4 and only 67K? Never wrecked - no rust. Has A/C, PS, PB & 6disc radio. I thought at least...

Let's see your first Ranger! I'm an "Oldfart" so my first Ranger was really a 1978 Ranger F150 4x4...back in the day when they were BIG...and at 50K you sold them because they were going to start falling apart. But, in 1978 4x4 modified pickups were the cool thing to do! I wouldn't be caught...

I had the same concerns, and I took my HK91 to a gun show and sold mine right there. Local gun shows are fairly common and often, about every 6-8 weeks it seems. You don't have to have a license to sell. I just paid a small table fee and split it with a buddy of mine that also had some guns...

Anyone had luck repairing the plastic clip on a cruise control cable (2001 4.0) where it attaches to the throttle body? Its just a simple plastic part where it attached to the throttle body is broken and won't stay attached to the arm. Ford did some service work and broke it, and of course...

Well, I took my truck into the FORD shop last Wednesday for timing chain issues on my 2001 4.0 SOHC with only 66K. It's now Monday eve and I'm trying to hang in there. At my last phone call to FORD tonite, they said "They were wrapping it up and want to QC it tomorrow, should be done by noon"...

I thought it was bad gas causing my truck to knock & clatter, but I've done all kinds of gas cleaners and octane additives, PLUS I put my chip setting back to factory stock. All with no help with the noise & clatter. Its now loud, mostly coming from the right side of the engine (when I roll...

Anyone else getting a rash of bad gas here in WA state? I know they put in ethanol, but I run premium 92 octane gas and my truck clatters and knocks BADLY now. I"ll put some gas additive in and it goes away, but this is the worst it has been. I run a chip program so I can use the 92 octane...

Anyone had any experience with the Goodyear Forteras? I currently run Goodyear RSA and they look & perform great but they are $400 a pop (no tax or mtg!)! I stopped in at a local tire store and they had these 265/50R20s for only $165 ea. Sounds cheap! They are supposed to last 60K and have...

HELLO! I'm new here but not new to Ranger forums. I used to be on the GE site for many years. I enjoy having a site to help out on and also ask questions. I've had my truck since 2003 and did lots of mods at that time but I haven't done much since except drive it. Its still a looker and I...
