I have a 99 2x4 extended cab xlt 3.0. I want to install new springs and shocks in the front, and new leaves and shocks in the back. I was wondering what years of rangers are compatible with what years. I was going to search around here for someone that had a near stock suspension that they...

First off thanks to everyone for looking and helping me in all my past posts. Here is my question. After my truck was kissed by a toyota prius, I got a new bumper and a lower valnce from a 4x4 with the fog light holes. I got some fog lights that fit into the holes but are not stock. My...

I have the vent windows on my 99 extended cab and was wondering if they make or if I could use from another type of truck/car a power latch to open and close the vent windows. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a lead on some black 2005 ford escape leather seats. My questions are, will these be a direct bolt in or some fab work. And are these seats hard as a rock like most new suv's? or are they comfy? Just wondering, thanks

my truck does not have tilt wheel, and it drives me crazy. I want to know how hard it would be to switch out the coulmns from say a explorer into my 99 ranger.

Update, I got the new engine installed in my truck last night, But then a problem arose. I had to spin the motor so that I could get the tourque converter bolts lined up into the flywheel. It spun fine by hand, later after I had bolted the trans to the motor I needed to tighten the bolts to...

I finally got my old engine out, but in doing so I had to remove the torque converter from the transmission. When i did this the motor tipped back as i was pulling it out and dumped all the fluid from the torque convertor. I know that I have to fill it back up before I reinstall it, but I am...

I ahve been reading a lot in this forum about how the cam synchro and or the cam position sensors go out on the 3.0. In this case a syncho or a sensor goes go out what are the possible side effects, internal damged stalled engine, locked motor ect??

I have been trying to pull the motor from my truck for days now scratching my head. I have a 99 3.0 litre flex fuel motor that is seised. I need to loosen the torque converter bolts to get the motor out but I do not know how to do this as the torque convertor is bolted to the flywheel, also I...

I have a 99 ranger with a 3.0 flex fuel motor production date 12/98. I am having great difficulty trying to locate an engine to fit. I found a 3.0 motor to purchase but 1 it is not a flex fuel and 2 it is from a 2001. I was wondering if I do not run flex fuel can I just drop any 3.0 motor in...

I currently have a FFV 3.0 engine in my truck that seized last week. I was wondering if I got a 4.0 if this would work with my computer ect. Or would it be better to just get a new 3.0 FF?? Thanks
