Not sure if many pay attention to Blueoval... But I replaced the entire clutch system aside from the master, and flywheel. The pedal is weak, but i can get in and out of gear fine as it is. The slave was pre-bled?. I can drive it around, but it definitely needs bleeding. How can I accomplish...

My 92 F250 I just picked up a week ago or so. 351w :annoyed: Twin Stick. Daily Driver And now for all you chevy haters out there.

Hello, I purchased a 92 F250 5.8L, ZF5 speed. I'm having a few intermittent issues with it being hard to shift in gear. Symptoms are this: 1. When I removed the cap to check fluid, the rubber seal was crushed inward on itself (meaning air was pushing up in the master). 2. It's hard to get in...

Hello all, I posted this question on BlueOval, but I'm purchasing a 92 F250 Custom 5.8L Reg cab, long box 4x4, twin stick (4 speed plus OD), as a DD. I'm wondering what trans it has in it. From what I read I have the ZF-42 (the 47 wasn't used till 96?), or the M5OD-R2. First gear seems very...

Why is it that when i'm looking for a new ranger, I CAN NOT FIND ONE. When I wasn't looking after I sold my 95 to AllanD's friend, there was a slew of them. So far i've looked at over 10 rangers. People want crazy prices for them. Looking in "the paper shop" I looked at a few. One being a 4x4...

I'm in the process of looking for a new ranger. Can anyone get me a carfax on Vin 1FTYR14V93PA11501, it's appreciated thanks. ati190

Yes, my green 95 was sold to AllanD's friend today. Don't worry another ranger will be in the workings! :headbang:

Can you please tell me if your tranny crossmember bolts on top of the frame or under the frame rail on the drivers side. I took one off a gen I exploder, and it was bolted under the frame rail. thanks ati190

Hello Well I was heading to my destination on the highway in 5th (OD). Couldn't get it out of fifth while trying to downshift. The truck is stuck in 5th. Now, for some diagnosis. The clutch seems fine, as I have pressure in the pedal, and the fact, when depressed, the truck will roll fine. When...

Ok, my truck stranded me, but not really. The negative terminal (ground wire) broke off, leaving me high and dry, including the little auxillary ground going from the battery terminal to radiator support. That's all fixed up with new ground wire, and terminals. Now for the odd question. I rigged...

Hello all I have vibration coming from my driveshaft. How am I sure? Well i'll fill you in. My carrier bearing went out initially, so I removed the driveshaft, and took both pieces to a local machine shop. Well they didn't mark anything, and I got the shaft back misaligned, took it back, they...

I have noticed vibrations at 45mph+ that doesn't go away. Here's my train of troubleshooting. Checked transmission mounts they were fine. Had the driveshaft balanced, as well as 3 brand new u-joints, and center bearing. Vibration is noticable. Took wheels off, vibration still occured. Took the...

Hello I have a problem. I seem to have a coolant leak in the lower left corner of the radiator. This happens after it's been ran, and sits :icon_thumby:. I ran the truck all day yesterday after I re-filled the coolant. This morning for the second day in a row, I come to find a puddle under my...

Finally got around to grabbing pics of my new acquistion, the 1995 Ford Ranger as a DD. Picked it up for 1000$. No Rust, and just minor dings, and a couple surface scratches to which I don't care about :icon_thumby:

Hello, I know this is a double post, but im not sure if i posted in the correct forum to begin with. How do I get a driveshaft in alignment during installation, no marks present. I don't see any indentations as to spline alignment on tranny or slip yoke. Thanks ati190
