Thanks for the feedback! The truck is in Brockport NY about 20min west of Rochester. I realize I am being hopeful with the price, open to any offers. I believe it is worth it the right person, but I also hate to see the truck sit idle any more. Yes the rust... Here in NY everything is crusty...

The time has come to find a new owner for my SAS'd 1992. 4.0 v6 98,000 miles Leaf sprung high steer Dana 30 SAS 31-spline explorer 8.8, locked c5 trans sitting on 35x12.5r15 tires The reason for selling is that the truck served it's purpose to me. I wanted to build a SAS Ranger for the...

Howdy y'all! Well five years later this truck is for sale. Keep an eye out for my "for-sale" post.

ok so update! My unimatic shifter is hooked up and functioning just fine. After considering my.... "return on time investment vs. effort", I ordered a b&m shifter cable bracket for $14. Yes I could have made one, no I didn't feel like it. Works good. Kickdown cable is installed, not sure if...

I knew I would have exactly zero luck finding a factory c5 shifter anywhere close to me. I found a unimatic on ebay, used, for a decent deal. Update: Trans cooler lines are in. Exhaust buttoned up. Picked up driveshafts from the local FleetPride this week.... and apparently they don't...

My trans is a 1984 unit from either a ranger or a b2. A local junkyard had it on a shelf, as far as anyone there knew it had been sitting there since 1994. It came with what I assume is the original (lockup) torque converter. I used the 1992 4.0l starter, engine plate, and flexplate spacer. I...

No worries, I'm so bad at remembering to check forums that I hadn't noticed! My c5 swap was, in my mind, the most logical solution to my a4ld letting go. The tech library here on TRS has all kinds of good info regarding what parts you can reuse, and what parts you need new. This past week I...

Cool! that's the kind of "obvious to some but not to me" kind of help I needed.

Howdy y'all- been a long time since active. I'm in the middle of swapping a c5 auto from an 84 ranger into my 92 ranger, in the home stretch now. I'm having troubles with my kickdown cable and shifter cable. I have a b&m unimatic shifter. I have already flipped the shift lever to the "down"...

howdy yall- been a while away from TRS. had a 1994 ranger splash that was rolled, followed by a 2002 fx4 that was wrecked. Currently my dd is a 2004 sport trac, with about 4" of lift on 33's. the itch to get back into an early ranger and build a trail rig has been strong. picked up a 1992...

Howdy all- Hoping you can provide me some guidance. After searching forums I've found similar issues but none like mine. 04 Sport Trac, 4.0 motor. My oil pressure dummy gauge points at the speedo most of the time. When I start the truck, the gauge always moves. Or, sometimes, it "quivers,"...

howdy all. crashed the ranger earlier this week. winter sucks. so, time for a new girl. leaning pretty heavily towards an 04 sport trac. i like the four doors, the polymer bed, and the fact that mechanically they are almost identical to rangers. once i find one i like, first order of business...

howdy y'all - Did the 31-spline 8.8 with the Torsen LSD ever end up in a non-Fx4 truck? I've got an 02 Ranger.. When I got the truck about two years ago, she had the yellow and blue factory bilstein shocks, but no Fx4 badges or stickers, and a 4L10 on the diff tag, which led me to believe it...

hey all, a month or so ago I rolled my 94 Splash. Country road, hit some ice and slush, various spinning across the road ensued, hit a muddy ditch going sideways. my rear leaves broke, and suddenly I was upside down. Things could have been worse, nobody got hurt. Now I've got a 2002 xlt...

yeah, I realize I posted about this leak a few months back. Same thing, the joint between my y-pipe and the catalytic is wide open. bolts rusted to nothing, flanges useless. I was looking at just replacing the gasket, until I realized that there's not much of either flange left to clamp the...
