    Lose Power Brakes when Below Freezing

    04 4.0L 370k kms. This issue started last winter, but I of course forgot about it until it started getting cold again, and it seems to happen more frequently/easily. When the truck is first started in below freezing temps it acts like there is no brake assistance. The pedal drops at least...

    Belt Took Out TPS Connector

    Truck is an 04 4.0L 2wd. Was accelerating on to the highway and heard a weird flapping noise that went away after a couple of seconds. Truck drove fine so I waited to check until I got to a gas station. Popped the hood to see most of the belt wrapped around the hood and the tps connector gone...

    Remote Start wiring questions

    04 b4000 2wd auto. Finishing up my remote start install, keep reading conflicting things online. Is there a nice convenient spot under the dash for tapping into the tach? Or do I need to dig through the big bundle that comes in from the engine bay? Does anyone have a pinout for the headlight...

    Brake Lines

    If someone has posted this before I apologize. Rockauto carries most of the brake lines for the Ranger. OEM motorcraft ones for really cheap. I was going to make new ones for the rear axle but by the time I bought the flare tool and fittings it would be almost twice the cost of getting the...

    Vacuum question

    04 4.0, this vacuum ball fell against the exhaust manifold and melted the lines. One line goes to the intake manifold and I'm not sure where the other one goes to. I'm going to have to pull the tire off to see through the wheel well. How important is that ball? Truck runs and drives fine.

    31 spline 8.8 swap questions

    Going to be swapping in a Torsen 8.8 soon and just had a couple quick questions. When I get new ubolts made does anyone know the size off hand? I know the tube is 3.25" Also when I bought the axle I didn't get the leaf spring/ubolts plates, I assume the normal 8.8 plates won't work?

    High Beam Switch Problem

    Just noticed this last night, my high beams won't work if you push the multifunction switch forwards, but if you pull the switch back (like to flash your lights at someone) they come on and so does the indicator on the dash. So my question is; is the switch kaput? Or does it simply need...

    Driving Around with a Bomb.

    Awhile ago I modified an inactive pineapple style hand grenade into a shift knob for my truck. My stock knob was doing the infamous "fly off the stick when shifting quickly in to 2nd or 4th" so I decided to go with something unique. I also trimed the shift boot down so it looked better.
