I have a 86 ranger. 2.3L 5 speed 4WD. I have 2 fuel pumps, one in the tank and one on the frame rail. It spits and sputters under load and when driving it at higher RPMs. However if you push the clutch in and rev it up it runs great with no issues. I unhooked the fuel pump on the frame rail and...

Ill start off by saying its a 1986 ranger. 2.3L 4x4 5 speed. when this problem first started i thought it was the clutch slipping since it was the original clutch so i replaced the clutch, flywheel, and throw out bearing with brand new ones. That seemed to fix it for a little bit. within a few...

I just got done putting my new clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing, slave cylinder and pressure plate and rear main seal on my 1986 ranger about a week ago.. I changed it because the old one felt like it was slipping bad and i thought maybe oil got on it. I have drove the truck 200 miles and...

I just replaced the clutch and flywheel on a 1986 ford ranger. 2.3L, 4WD, 5 speed trans. We got the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, etc.. installed correctly. The truck starts up, and goes into gear smooth. Actually it goes into gear easier than before. No grinding or clunking. We bled it like...

I have a 86 ranger with a 2.3 and an 88 ranger with a 2.3.. both are the 4 plug lima motors.. The firing order on the 88 is 4-2-1-3 and on the 86 its 1-3-4-2 The 88 runs a little rough at idle but once you drive it its smooth, no misfiring or backfiring or smoking and it has plenty of power...

I just bought a 1988 ranger and drove it home a few days ago.. Everything worked fine besides the radio. I took out the factory radio since it didn't work and installed an aftermarket one. Well in the process of chainging the radio i hit the headlight switch knob pretty hard by accident and then...

i took the drivers side door off my ranger and the little door buzzer/dome light switch wires came off. well i cant seem to find the wires inside the fender between all the insulation. since then my radio doesnt work, and neither does the dome light.. even when i turn the light switch to the...

my old motor was running great until i sunk the truck in a mud hole and hydrolocked it.. i pulled the motor out and dropped in a used one out of a 1987 ranger/B2.. i never heard it run but the guy said it ran good, no overheating ticks or knocks.. only problem was a broken distributor cap and...

i traded a welder for a 2.9 motor yesterday, while i was making sure everything looked good on it i noticed a remanufactured plate on the back left side of the motor. How do i know who remanufactured it and how do i figure out the date it was remanufactured in? :icon_confused:

I bought my 1990 ranger back from my friend :yahoo: , got it for $500.. It needed a motor. The one in it was knocking real bad and it sounded like something came loose internally and it locked the back wheels up going 30 mph.. Anyways, I traded a cheap knockoff lincoln welder for a 2.9 motor...
