When I did the waggy dana44 swap I used bds xj coils. They seem to be a little on the stiffer side. For you guy's that have done a sas what have you found to work good. Seems a good spring might be an early bronco.

So I searched a bunch on here for the lack of airflow from the blower. truck is an 89 ranger it never has blown very hard from the vents. The heater core and evap core are newer repalced spring of 2015 so about a year old. old evap was plugged with leaves an such. I was excited thinking it would...

So my truck has started running bad. 89 with a 91 4.0 swapped. "been running for 4 years" so this is nothing to do with that. Symptoms started as a slight pinging on the hwy under light excel. Didn't ping at WOT. I just went with it until it got very bad pinging so badly that I was worried...

As stated I am only getting 8.5 volts to the reverse lights. I tested the fuse and there was 12volts there. So is there something in the switch that would cause this? How does the reverse switch circuit work? I know the switch in the trans is just a ground "m5od" any ideas on where I could be...

Ok so here is the problem, I have a weird intermittent starting problem. All the details first 89 with 2.9 to 4.0 swap 5speed truck. when doing the swap I did not have a m5od to go with the 4.0. But I had a 2000 mile old 2.9 clutch and new starter. So I kept the 2.9 stuff flywheel back. Plan...

Swap was a 89 2.9 to a 4.0 unknown engine yr but using 91 ecm and harness. first I will give you a lil laugh after getting the engine harness in place I put my old 2.9 ecm on it not knowing. Fought with it for about a day then checked. But it still doesn't run right with the 4.0 ecm. Its not...

In the middle of my engine swap my A.D.D. kicked in and I started messing with the gear box and steering shaft. I found 90% of the slop/slack to be in the slip part between the rag joint and u-joint "89 ranger 4x4" So I pulled the whole shaft out to see whats loose. After pulling it apart I...

I and going to swap my 2.9 for a 4.0 I have a full complete harness and computer from a 91 ranger. But I lack a MAF and intake tube. I have a MAF from a 2000 v-8 explorer could I use it with the right injector size for the MAF? or do I need to go get a 4.0 MAF

Ok This build is from my old ranger but it worked great. I am going to build another for my new ranger but there will be a few changes for the new one. This one has heims but could have used TREs. The biggest bad design in this is that the drag link TRE to the pitman arm was welded in the tube...

89 ranger 4x4. Build lots of pics (edit) I don't have any pics really from when I bought it but as stated its an 89 4x4 2.9 5speed. When I bought it the lil 235/75/15 were bald so it got some used 31x10.50 buckshots rubbed a lil but not bad. The old 180k mile 2.9 has seen better days. It...

So I have a project that has a 302. With I think an AOD and I know 1356 tcase. To sum a few things up I need to shorten my drive system and I know the 1354 is almost a full 3 inches shorter. For some reason I was thinking there is a c-6 trans or a t-5 with the right bolt pattern and output to...
