thankyou

thanks for the detail. very helpful. The full dana 44 swap is definitely on the want list. just exploring different ideas. and I would really like some bigger brakes. the combination of V8 and large tires is a bit taxing on the factory brakes. I definitely would be doing something with the...

For those of you who have done this, I'm considering a D44 knuckle swap on my ranger, but I'm curious if it adds any width WMS to WMS? Seems like it might due to the wider bearing spacing, would be cool to know for sure.

Yeah same here. I don't notice much loss if any on the dipstick between oil changes, but for some reason it looks like a qt a day hits the ground.

This year i got motivated to fix all the leaks on my 2.9. But almost all of my fixes have since started leaking again. New oil filter adapter o rings made it 1000 miles. Left valve cover gasket has been replaced 2x this year and still leaks. Valve cover flanges are straight as an arrow I...

Might have to go m62 for the 2.9

That looks awesome!

Smaller wheels wont help run lower rpms, but thrust goes way up the smaller you go in wheel diameter.....assuming you get traction.

supercharger might be do-able, maybe an M90? probably will be worse on gas than the turbo....at least when cruising at lower speeds where boost is unnecessary. a wieand might be easy, fab up a base plate to match the lower manifold then just throw a sniper on top....and get a cowl hood. but...

HI all, I have an 89 ranger with a 2.9 that has served me well, but its got north of 250,000 miles on it now and I have been finding myself doing a lot of hwy driving with steep grades lately, and this poor engine really struggles to keep pace with traffic, and if i try, the high rpm operation...

I have some experience with the Holley sniper on small block fords. When using the ignition control the ecm becomes very sensitive to RFI. This is extra problematic on fords due to the close proximity to the distributor (which is probably your largest source of RFI in the entire engine...

I have an 89 ranger xlt 4x4 2.9 with ac. The accessories use v belts, not serpentine. I've been through 3 alternators in the past year. Warranty replacement is nice, but I'm about to start installing the things with wing nuts so I can swap them out every oil change. I don't prefer autozone...

I recently noticed the smell of fuel entering my cab while driving. it tends to show up at stoplights after the vehicle is warmed up. I do not see or smell any signs of fuel near the tank or along the vent line. Also The EVAP canister does not smell like it has been fuel saturated. What I...

For those of you who have added fiberglass front fenders to your truck, you already know there aren't many options for replacing the inner fenders, and relocation of the airbox, wiring, and ignition coil is required. I drive my truck in the winter a lot, and My door hinges are rusty enough as...

I have a 89 ranger with 2.9 and mazda trans. I replaced the transmission about 10,000 miles ago, and just recently it started popping out of third gear on deceleration. It also feels like it doesn't go all the way into third gear (at least compared to how deep it shifts into all the other...
