the 28 spline axles neck down quite a bit at the end where the bearings are. the 31 splines also have a little bit of a neck in the same location but much less. i think there's comparison pics in the tech library

if you've got more pics, you should be able to tell if its 28 or 31 spline based on the axle tubes

From 88 to 89 (i think) the floor changed a little. The opening for the bolt-in plate got bigger, toward the front. The back of the opening is the same though, if i remember right. The basic shape of the floor and trans tunnel didn't change though. You should be able to use a newer floor plate...

Do you need the entire engine harness or just the injector harness? Where are you located?

Thanks anways, I appreciate it.

Yes.

Getting ready to pull the entire drivetrain out of an 86 Ranger. I've never seen it run but the seller said it needed a flex plate. Looks like it's been sitting for several years (decades even). According to the door tags, the axles are 3.73 open. Asking $100 per piece on facebook marketplace...

What style connector does it have, can you take pics of what's going on? If i remember, there was a gold connector with at least 2 different style clips (the plastic collar type, and the metal hair-pin type) and there was also a black connector, not sure how those were set up.

Sorry for the delayed reply. It just lets the pressure out of the slave so the fluid pressure isn't keeping the quick connect from moving. If that's not doing it for you, you could have something else going on. Hopefully you've got it figured out by now though.

Obviously first, make sure there's nothing inside the port or anything like that, but assuming it's all good, crack the bleeder to let the pressure out as you ush the fittings together

Not a ranger, but i've got a JLT on my 3.5 eco, and have for several years and 70k miles (engine's just under 200k now). Never had issues with the hoses or anything like that, and there's always junk in it when i empty it. I don't know that i "need" it, but it's cheap insurrance IMO. It looks...

I have to get a CAD computer set back up, among other things, but i'll try to get it done sometime. Hopefully you're not in too big of a rush.

It's 25-3/4" on the outside, 25-1/4" on the inside, plates are 1/4" each. They attach to the truck by 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 3/16 angle iron brackets, 1-1/4 long. The brackets bolt to the frame with the bumper bolts, then bolt to the outside of the plates. The tubes on mine are 1-3/4" diameter. They've...

Still one of my favorite commercials :LOL: bufTna0WArc

I would guess it's a bad ignition switch. They're kinda known for wearing out. Replacement's arent too expensive, nor are they hard to swap out. Edit: After reading your post again, I would check the battery terminals and make sure they're clean and connected properly. Symptoms don't sound...
