1991 Ranger 4.0 engine. Almost done replacing power steering steering box, steering pump and both lines. What type of power steering fluid to use? The original car manual says type F ATF. The ford shop manual says premium power steering fluid e6az-19582-aa (eswm2c33-f) or equivalent.

Wouldn't the vacuum pull some ATF into the engine?

Thanks, how did you pull the vacuum and with what?

1991 Ranger 4x4, 4.0 engine. On the drivers side below the power steering pump and toward the frame there is a small shock that mounts to a bracket attached to the engine. This is probably the original part. What does it do and how critical is it to replace?

Hi, I have a 91 4.0 ranger 4x4. I have power steering fluid leaking from the steering box, at the shaft where the pitman arm attaches. Other than the leak, the steering is great. I see a seal kit which has a new c clip, dust seal, and oil seal. I am wondering if replacing that would be enough...

I have a 91 ranger 4.0 4x4. It has a starting problem. It used to start very quick as the starter turned over the engine. Now after sitting all night I have to turn over the starter quite a long time before the engine starts. What seems to work is if I turn it over for 3 seconds or so, stop...

I have a 1991 ford ranger 4x4, 4.0 v6. 190,000 miles. Runs great and even gets 18-20 mpg on hwy trips with a 1200lb camper. I have been using small amounts of antifreeze for the passed year with no leaks. Lately much more, sometimes a 1/4 gallon in 400 miles. 4,000 miles ago was having a miss...
