    First Ford and it's been interesting

    Welcome. 1994 was a good year for Rangers. We'd love to see pics.

    The ‘RAITH Party Cart….

    If only everybody had the same outlook, the world, and our country, would be in a much better place. Well said, my friend. (y)

    Cant believe im saying this...

    The soul of the B2 is its wheelbase; the shortest of all RBVs. THAT is why they are such a blast to drive. They are the nimblest, the most agile of the breed. It's the frame. Even if it has a Ranger cab, it's still a B2.

    That's not a bad idea. If you junk the body on it, it seems that those big side windows aren't common anymore. There may be some profit in the parts off of an otherwise hopelessly rusted body.

    Sleep on it. Then look at it again tomorrow. I can feel your angst.

    My New House & Workshop

    . . . and it's even better than peeing in the alley, I suppose. Your work really looks good, Jim. You should have been a plumber; you'd be rich and retired by now.

    Hesitation when lights are on

    Welcome to TRS. Nothing wrong with not having a lot of experience working on cars; it's where every one of us started. A couple of basic things to do first, with a beginner in mind. 1) Check that both battery post terminals are tight, and have no corrosion. It'd be good to take each off and...

    Anyone ever experience this?

    The fuel pump relay is grounded from the ECM.

    Anyone ever experience this?

    My first suspect would a bad, or failing, wire, especially on the ground side. Case in point- The starter is grounded through the engine block, to the battery negative via the thick primary grounding cable: the primary ground cable. The fuel pump itself is grounded back to the battery...

    Truckspotters

    I thought that that was the Rapper Ranger . . . oh wait . . . the Rapper Ranger had a turntable and pile of scratched records, too. I think it was, anyway. My memories of the '80s and '90s are gettin kinda hazy at this stage . . . .

    Busted wires

    SHAME ON YOU! Go stand in the corner.

    Busted wires

    Well, if you can figure it out, then I'll have to try it myself. A while back RockAuto had a lot of the Ford wiring repair pigtails on closeout sale; I don't know if they still have any or not. Repair pigtails are the way to go, but damn they're expensive!

    Busted wires

    I don't know; sorry. I think that it's time well spent doing what you're doing, in going through the wiring and fixing things where needed. These are simply old trucks, and wiring repairs are just part of the fun (yeah, right . . . ).

    1990 Ford Ranger Very Nice Restoration Small Lift New Tires 4x4

    Agreed. If you were looking for an almost time-capsule perfect example, and money was no object, this would be the truck. True, for a new "today's" truck, but sadly, the asking price is about double what the truck originally sold for in 1990. Saya a lot about inflation over the 34 years...

    1990 Ford Ranger Very Nice Restoration Small Lift New Tires 4x4

    That is a nice truck. But, is it really worth that much?

    Busted wires

    OK, get more zeroed in on what you need as far as scematics and component views from the EVTM, and I can post what you're needing. There is a part to the connector called a "wedge" which is pried out from the connector "face" side. Then you'll see fingers inside the connector that lock the...

    You need the EVTM pages? Where is that in the engine bay?

    2.3L ('83-'97) Is this Legit/Normal?

    It's original (OEM). That's an insulation blanket on the evaporator housing, to make the AC more effecient.

    Bought a BII

    1) SCORE! 2) No comment (we're all idiots here, for loving these old trucks the way that we do). 3) Congratulations! In case you've never had a B2, once you make it a runner, YOU'LL FREAKIN' LOVE DRIVING IT! It might even cure you of that pitiful Jeep disease . . .
