I would just replace them with the Warn Manual Locking HUBs if you're sure its the hubs. (Mine was clicking when engaged and when I took it apart I found the plastic cam inside of it was broken.) But I agree that it sounds more like a wheel bearing issue. I would recommended fixing them Asap...

I also have a 1990 2.9L ranger 4x4 5speed long bed. And I had the same issue with my fan. I'm trying to remember where I got the fan from, But I picked up a metal fan that was made for the truck and haven't had any issues with it since. I think it may have been carid.com

I'm not sure where he got it from, I'll have to ask if he swapped it in at some point. I had saw the same thing that the 8.8" only came on the 4.0L, So I'm a bit confused as well.

Thanks, That's what I figured but just wanted to confirm! Safe to assume I could probably just swap Oil pans?

So, I have a 1990 Ranger 2.9L 4x4 with a manual Transmission. I recently came across someone selling another 2.9L motor out of a 1990 ranger for $250 and I'm debating picking it up as a spare engine. But this donor vehicle is definitely automatic trans and I don't think its 4x4 though I'm not...

When I bought my 1990 Ranger with 7' bed, it had a leer camper on it. I still have it, but swapped a tool box on so the camper is just chillin in the garage.

I ended up buying one of the bearing packers for $30 and saved a ton of time and mess. - So on Friday I took off the lock nuts and re torqued them on. This time I used a screwdriver to push down on the washer where the tab was while I tightened the outer locknut as tight as I could. Then I...

TLDR: inner spindle nut is turning in spite of the washer when I TQ the outer nut, resulting in over torqued wheel bearings. Seems the tab on the washer is too short, are there any solutions?

OK, Let me give a bit of backstory. 1990 Ranger 2.9L 4x4. a while back I replaced my Auto HUBS with Warn manual HUBs, I also did new brakes (rotors, pads, and hoses) (My mistake/lesson learned. I did not replace or properly regrease the wheel bearings) Fast forward a month later, I'm out...

1990 Ford Ranger 4x4 2.9L with Dana 35 Front Axle on 31s. I was replacing the front brakes over the weekend and when I was pulling the locking hubs apart I noticed the Plastic Cam on the Drivers Side was Busted.(probably would explain the clicking in 4x4) Also the splined thrust washer was...

I don't know specifically on the 08, but I used the shackles on my 90 and they ride great! I got about 1.5-1.75" from them. Super easy to install too.

Apologies if this is in the wrong section, please move if so. I have a 1990 Ford ranger 4x4 Standard cab, Long bed. 2.9L V6. I've been getting the truck off-road ready and recently came to the realization that getting stuck is not the ideal time to realize I don't have any good recovery...

I keep finding conflicting information I bought a 1990 Ranger 2.9L 4x4. It came with 245x45x20 tires on it. I'm wanting to turn the truck into a mild mud toy while still being able to haul stuff on the streets. Its not a DD, but I don't want it too crazy. My vision for the truck includes a...

Hello all, My local pick a part is having a 40% off all parts sale this weekend, so I figured this is as good of time as any to pick up some used parts. I have a 1990 Ranger 2.9L V6 4x4 Manual Transmission. Std. Cab, long bed I know these subjects have kinda been beat like a dead horse, but...

While trying to figure out why my parking brake light and rabs light are both on, I decided I was going to overhaul the brake system on 1990 2.9L 4x4 Ranger, (Rotors, pads, Calipers, Hoses) and figured why not upgrade to the bigger rotors and 2 piston calipers from the 95-97 rangers. I have a...
