So I have too many projects going right now, but I did pull the VC out of the aviator, and it drives just like my Jeep Commander with the NV140. So at this point I have only confirmed my thought that it's just an open diff with a coupler.
I have pulled the main shaft out of my parts case, and...
I removed the VC and put the case back together, and it works like an open diff without the VC, so I think I can head to my local machine shop to have the sleeve made. I think I will shift it with a cable and lever, so I can mount the shifter up by the transmission shift lever.
Anyone here familiar with the 44-10 found in the aviator? They have a viscous coupler that welds itself into 4hi. I would love to replace it with a manual shift, two speed case, but no such animal exist's that I am aware of.
So I tore my spare 44-10 apart and it appears that if you remove the VC...
99 Ranger with ABS and vacuum lock hubs, the front wheel bearings are humming pretty bad so i need to get some parts ordered so when the wheel falls off I have parts to fix it. LOL I manually lock the hubs in as the vacuum crap never worked, and I eliminated the ABS all together can I use this...
I've got a 2.3L in my 99 Ranger with a distributor using duraspark. Thursday an hour and a 1/2 from home and 10 miles off the beaten path the duraspark original motocraft box died(Been working fine for 3 months now). I got a ride to Advance bought a new made in china box I also got a new coil...
My truck runs on propane and i was wanting to hook up the stock fuel gauge but they no longer make the Ford 15-150 ohm sending unit they only have the GM 0-90 ohm sending unit or you can buy the sending unit and gauge together. What would happen if i bought the GM sender and hooked it up to my...
99 Ranger, thats been changed from v6 to 2.3LP from auto to stick and much more. When i changed from auto to stick I uncovered this unsightly computer box down on the floor in front of the shifter. I believe its the airbag computer. So I removed it eliminating the annoying chim that tells me the...
Just finished a fresh overhaul on a 2.3L and after it's first day on the road (100 miles) it is still smoking so I pulled the plugs and checked the compression. All 4 are around 130PSI but #2 's plug is coated with oil. How do i determine if it's a valve seat or oil ring problem? I'm so...
I'm wiring in a 2.3L with Duraspark into my 99 3.0L chassy. My Chiltons manual shows a ballast resistor in the run wire from the ignition. My plan was to hook this to the run wire going to the coil pack on the 3.0L. How important is this ballast resistor? I bought a chiltons manual for the 99...
Working on a 99 that had a 3.0L. Can I get a set of 2.5L motor mounts put them on the 2.3L and then just bolt it in? I originally was just going to fab some but this could save me time if it will work. RB
I'm working on Project 1999 2.3LP and have decided to try and make the 3.0L dash work rather than running an all aftermarket dash (PlanB). There are only 3 things I'd like to make work. Oil pressure gauge, Temp gauge and the one I'm not sure of the tach. The 2.3 has the duraspark II if I...
I got my clutch master cylinder, line, reservoir, and slave today and i'm not sure how to clock the master in the clutch bracket as I thought the reservoir line would be on top but the hose dont seam to lay out that way. Also where does the reservoir get located?

I have a M50D 5 speed with a 2.3L bell so I'm assuming it's pre 92. I need to replace the slave cylinder but I dont know the year of the trans and there seems to be a whole bunch of different slaves depending on year and application. How do i identify what year and application of trans I'm...
Brought my 9th RBV home this past week and it's a very high mileage 99. It would start right up but had a rough idle and low power. Pulled the plugs and 2 of them were black so check compression and 4 and 5 were deader than a door nail. The other 4 were 70-100. Pulled the head on the dead side...
I just bought a 1990 2.3L Ranger engine and a propane system for a 2.3 which includes the intake. I'm not sure yet what I'm even going to put the setup in yet. My question is can I run the DIS as a stand alone system. What will i need to make the DIS work? I know i can get an older 4 plug head...
I've got a 98 Ranger thats been in Mi it's whole life but has very little rust. I've noticed lately that the front of the box has been bouncing. So today I pulled out the bed liner to discover the 2 front bed bolts are no longer attached to the box as the box had rusted all the way around them...
I bought a 98 3.0L with a blown head gasket. I pulled the engine and replaced it with a 93 Aerostar engine. I only used the block and heads from the Aerostar everything else was kept. Went to start it up tonight and it fires right up then spits and sputters and dies. If I feather the gas pedal I...
I'm right in the middle of this swap and was wondering what purpose the 5/8 radiator hose has that runs from the lower radiator hose up to the nipple on the intake right by the thermostat. My nipple is damaged and the Aerostar didnt have the hose altogether. Also anyone know why the Aerostar...
