I have a 1996 ranger 2wd with a 5.0 swapped in. Recently it started running rough at idle. It will idle rough fluctuating between 300-600rpm and die after 30seconds-1min if not given gas. It almost feels as if its got a miss at low rpm's but I think this is due to the rough idle. Also if I am...

A ttb shaft would not work? What about the hubs are they all the same? would i get about six inches of lift with 3 ½" Dever Super Flex coils in a 87 extended cab ranger 2.9l? http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-13206_super_flex_coils_3__.htm

is there any interchangable shafts for a reverse cut dana44 out of a 79f150? i need the drivers side shaft, would a ttb shaft work? Another quick question i have is would the hubs and brake pads/rotors work off a ttb style f-150 world with a dana 44 straight axle?

what should be the rev limit on the 2.8?

could this be why i lack power in my 2.8l ranger 5 speed 3.73 gears and 31's?

i have a 83 4x4 ranger 2.8l 5 speed with 3 73 gears and 31's, im getting avg 13mpg. what kind of mpg do you guys get?

i have the 2.8 in my ranger 4wd. it seems pretty weak, im lucky if i can hit 60 on the highway. would pulling the emmisions and new exhaust help significantly?
