So, if anyone recalls, I installed an 8.8 axle into my Ranger that I had installed 4.10 gears into. I did this in June 2006. There has not been any noise or problems with the install. Today, I removed the cover to check on things and replace the gear oil. Below are the pics and I was pleased...

My '86 2.9L leaks fuel when the tank is full and parked front-down on a slope. The leak is coming from a bad gasket around a part that I have no clue what it is. It's in the hole in front of the sending unit hole. The only connection on it is a plastic tube that appears to be part of the...

I have an 86 2.9L. The truck mysteriously would not crank yesterday. After pulling the steering column covers, I noticed the plastic part of the ignition switch was about to fall out of the rest of it. My question is, how do you secure the new ignition switch to the steering column after...

86 2.9: My 2.9 recently has been hard to start. It cranks fine and sounds like it always has when you turn the key, but once you let go, it dies. It usually takes between 2 and 4 cranks and then it just decides to work. The scary part is, on occasion the engine will suddenly cut out. It has...
