Starting the process of replacing parts on my 96 3.0L 5-speed to get ready for a road trip next October. Need suggestions for sites where I can get higher quality parts than the ones I'm replacing. Starting with the radiator since it has a crack, then the air intake cuz it got gouged on the...

This video helped a ton! I took the master cylinder/reservoir/slave hydraulic line out. I took the whole system and hung it on a wall in the garage with two nails through the fastener holes for the reservoir. I took the reservoir cap off to watch for bubbles coming up, inverted the master...

Omw to work the other morning, went through a light. Shifted 1st to 2nd and my clutch pedal locked up hard as a rock. While waiting for a tow truck, I noticed my hydraulic line had disconnected from the slave cylinder. No matter how hard I tried it wouldn't go back in. Once I got home, I was...

I've been putting in a lot of work on my 96 Ranger XLT (3.0) recently and I've noticed how cluttered the engine bay is. My buddy has an S10 and the engine bay is virtually empty, that's how I'd like mine to be. What kind of parts/wires can I remove that aren't necessary for the truck to run...

Have a 4in rough country lift kit for my 96 ranger XLT but have no instructions for it and can't find any videos for it. The guy I bought the truck from put the back in but didn't do the front. If anybody could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Literally in the process of dropping my transmission. We've had a hell of a time getting those bolts out. We finally got them out yesterday. What we did was use liquid wrench, and a mix of 50/50 ATF/Acetone to soak the bolts for an hour or so. Then we used a 1000 f/p impact with extensions and...
