I did the manual to power conversion and everything works great, except the locks. I wired them using two dpdt relays per the diagram... When I hit the lock switch it sounds like it wants to go but acts like it doesn't have enough power to move the actuator. I tested the hot and it is 13+...

I need to take the fan off of my '01 3L. I took the 4 bolts off the pully, slide it forward, put the bolts back in the water pump flange, used the special spanner tool on those 4 bolts (to keep the water pump and fan shaft from spinning), and then tried to loosen the fan shaft to the right. I...

I just out the 1.8 roller rockers in on friday. I noticed heavy carbon deposits in the upper and lower intake and some sludge in the valve covers. I cleaned as much carbon from the upper intake as possible with some MAF cleaner and the sludge from the valve covers. What can I do to clean the...

I installed the roller rockers in my '01 3.0, 4x4, manual last night. Install couldnt be easier. Just like Tom said, unbolt one & bole the new one in. I read through a how-to that is posted on Rager-Forums (http://www.ranger-forums.com/f59/how-install-morana-roller-rockers-3-0-a-84419/) great...

So I made a custom snorkle for my 2001 3.0 on sunday. Basically I did a mix of the two that are posted in the tech library. I pulled the fender off, cut a 2" hole throught the inner fender wall and the air box. Then I ran a piece 0f 2" pvc through the wall and into the box, I put a 90* bend...

i have an '01 SuperCab 3.0, Manual, 4x4, the max trailer weight is right around 2,400lbs. Which I was actually kind of surprised at, and not in a good way. I was looking into towing a 15 1/2' PlayMor camper tailer this weekend. It has a GVW of 3,500lbs. So, I'm obviously not towing it with my...

Here is a little how-to on converting manual window/mirror/locks to power. I have a 2001 and used a 1999 donor truck. I just took the entire door, cutting the wires where they go into the cab. Once I got the donor door home I simply pulled the panel. I’m not going to go into how to do that. Once...

I have just transplanted the power window motor and gear ass., Power mirror, and power lock from a '99 into my manual '01. I thought I had the wiring figured out but apparently not. I need help on what to hook up where. I have the stock wiring harness, just cut it at the boot that goes from the...

Hello, I am looking to see if anyone living in Western Washington has done a V8 converstion on a 2001+. I would really like to do it this coming summer but I'm iffy on the electrical. It would be great to have someone near that could give advice or possibly lend a hand...

First off I have to thank Oh2Ranger and Jim Oaks for the insperation and info they provided. Basically all I did was got the silver and white cluster, silver cluster bezel, silver climate contol unit, and silver radio bezel out of an '02 Sprortrac. I also got the OHC and varitey mirror from an...

I have an '01 4 door 60/40 and found some really nice black leather/power/heated '03 Escape seats. I measured the tracks & Escape are 15" wide and mine are 10" wide. I read in another post to just unrivet the mounts and put mine ont he escape and it will work. I dont understand how this will...

about a month ago my a/c clutch started screaming. It did it the whole time the engine was running then stopped after two days. Now my a/c doesn't blow cold. Is the compressor its self bad or just the clutch? If its just the clutch can I do at home without having to evacuate the syatem?

Ok, not sure if this should go in here or one of the electrial sub forums. Anyhow, I have an '01 4x4, four door. I hooked up my trailer to it and the right side light isnt working at all, no brake, running, blinker, nothing. So I got one of those electricle tester with the leds you just plug...

I have an 2001 3.0, 4x4. I just pulled my wires off to warrenty them and put the new ones on peer the diagram in the Haynes manual. Well i noticed when i pulled 4-5-6 wires they all came off the right side (passenger) of the coil pack. The haynes maual and in the tech library has the on the left...

I want to do the windows and locks to power on my '01 4x4. Is it as simple as pulling motor, wiring harness and door panels from a similar year and installing? Do I need to get anything else? Are there any known issues with doing this that make it a pain? There is a '01 at the salvage yard with...
