I've been having a little trouble with getting this truck to warm up like it should. The gauge always read C or just above it. Replaced the thermostat and both temperature sensors, which didn't help. Yesterday I think I found out what the problem is. This truck has a broken blend door, and the...

I know this has been hashed out many times, but none of those were really comparable to my situation. I'm running a 29" tire on a 98 2wd Ranger 2.5 5 speed. Right now it has the factory 3.45 rear. I grabbed a 4.10 8.8 last week from a 4.0 Ranger. I have it apart and will be dropping some new...

My 98 2.5 has made some noise since I bought it a couple months ago. If you start it after sitting for a few hours, it clatters pretty loudly, like a lifter is not pumping up. After warming up, it's smooth and quiet as can be. Should I maybe try a thinner oil? Not sure what's in it now, the...

My 98 Ranger has a 7.5 3.45 open diff. I have 29" tires and I'm looking to swap a 4.10 axle in it's place, preferably an LSD. Are the clutch packs in these diffs pretty strong? I'll be getting one from a scrapyard and won't know anything aside from mileage and looking it over. If worn, can you...

Looking to add a thermoswitch for electric fans, does anyone know what the ID of the lower radiator hose is so that I can order an inline adapter for it?

Having owned a 95 Chevy previously I had assumed that my door handle problems would be solved by buying a Ford. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. The passenger's side exterior door handle was broken when I bought the truck. I grabbed one from Amazon and put it on. However, the handle...

Every DOHC 4 cyl that I've tried that on move a lot of air and blow oil around. All of which were healthy. My 2.5 hardly moves any air, but that's a different animal, and I'm not sure if the PCV is working normally.

I have a 98 Ranger 2wd 4cyl 5 speed. It's a single cab. It has the factory 14" alloys and car tires right now. I've already ruined one tire from a rock cut. The gravel in this area is really sharp, and I drive on it a lot. I want to upgrade to ~28" tire. To get a decent AT or MT selection I...

I bought a 98 Ranger 2wd 4 cylinder 5 speed last week. It will be my work truck, and save me a lot of gas compared to my K2500. The truck has 209k, and the drivers seat is getting a little worn. The cushion has a lot of give and you can feel the metal supports in the seat. The center console is...

I bought a 98 Ranger XLT last night with the 2.5l and 5 speed. It runs well enough going down the road, but it doesn't seem to idle right. Sometimes when you pull it out of gear, it will stumble, and it takes a little bit for the idle to settle down. It had an IAC code when I checked it before...
