    piston ring cross usages

    Hastings historically also sells single sets (for one piston) so the info should be out there to confirm a cross between these. In other words “sets” are just made up of multiple single rings. There was a long time that you could buy just one ring…. Yes, one compression ring please! (and people...

    Need Interchange info for a 96 Mazda 2.3L?

    I have searched several places, including the FAQs but am getting conflicting info. I have a 96 B2300 that I need to find a replacement engine for. It is a DIS with 8 plug head. The FAQ says 95-01 is the same. Other info says 95-97 is the same. BTW the Mazda engine is junk internally, Burnt...

    Bed Compatibility

    Does anybody know what are the years that beds are interchangeable? More specifically I found a great deal on an almost perfect 92 bed with tailgate. The one on my 88 has a few days of bodywork before it's sweet and the tailgate is crap. These are both short beds and styleside 6' beds. Can I...

    SE Ranger?

    I have an 88 short bed/reg cab Ranger that has what appears to be original black paint, at least on most of it, and it has gold stripes down the sides with a SE at the back of the stripes on the rear of the bed. I thought the SE was a Mazda thing. Did some dealer just put the Mazda stripe kit on...

All I did to make clearance for the valve cover was to mark the area that needed to clear, heat it up with my heat gun and push it back. It took literally 3 minutes. The box is fairly thin material...

    Wheelbase question, or, My one piece driveshaft doesn't fit

    This is on my 96 B2300 2WD Xtra cab. The 2 piece shaft had a bad center bearing and the u-joints were getting tired again so I just figured it was time to do the one piece driveshaft conversion. I bought a sweet one piece aluminum shaft from the local wrecker. It came out of a 2000 ranger Xtra...

    Slow-ish wipers on high speed.

    My wipers have always run slow since I got this truck, at least compared to my other RBV and FS trucks. The fast speed is about the same as the slow on everything else. All the speeds DO work, it doesn't seem to be a control or switch problem. I pulled the gearbox cover on the motor and the...
