I hate that I have to even ask this but I'm out of ideas... My truck has been sitting for about a year while I recovered from some injuries and couldn't do anything with it. Now that I'm capable of physical activity again i decided to go out and try and get it running. I figured I'd change...

Some time ago I remember a thread being created which detailed a way in which you could get the build specifications of your vehicle from Ford. If I remember correctly the thread contained a link to a form you could fill out and request the specs. Does anyone remember any details about the...

Last winter my truck suddenly stopped blowing any air out of the vents and when I checked it out I noticed that the blower motor was not working. I went and bought a new blower motor and installed it which got the air moving again. Unfortunately now there is very little air coming out from the...

Hey guys, I just drained and resealed my differential to fix a leak and now I'm trying to refill it. I could have sworn I read that it had a 5 quart capacity somewhere, but that seemed a little high to me. I can't find the thread so does anyone know the capacity? It's a 94 4.0L 2WD. Thanks.

So I was recently looking for a new Ford Ranger of the 2008 type and I did the usual poking around for reviews on the truck. I was very suprised when I got to the edmunds site and read the review. Here is the first paragraph of the introduction... "The Ford Ranger went past its expiration...

I took the rear brakes apart on my truck to replace them and as I was staring at the backing plate and the wheel cylinder I had to wonder... If I apply the brakes when the wheel cylinder is the only part still attached will it blow the seals out? And before anyone tells me it is unsafe to...
