    ONLY IN A SMALL TOWN

    Boy am I glad all the tech we have now was not around as we grew up. Small towns get boring. So .. incredibly stupid fun things tend to happen just to break the monotony. . I was definitely a wild one. For at least 5 years of my youth, my favorite thing was to get the local police after me...

    Oversize A/T Tire Experience

    Just my opinion. But I have always had a firm belief, if a 4 wheeler can go through it ,so can my ranger. 30’s and 31’s is all I have ran on either of mine. The 2.9l has 30.5’s . Mainly rutted hills and big mud holes and creek crossings around here. Buckshot mudders have always been a favorite...

    2003 transmission in a 99 ranger 4wd with 4.0

    Doesn’t seem to be above factory stall rpm to me . So far it has performed as a good transmission should. Drove it today without it flashing the light. BUT have definitely learned to listen intently when you comment on anything. And I appreciate you always having the time and patience to help...

    No codes. No gears. No tach.

    Just got it back going again 🥃🥃 it has around 212k. Had what looked like a shop name and date on top of it.. but it had a blue, looked factory,torque converter in it .. unsure what was done at that time.

    Tarps are amazing. 30 degree difference

    Been snowed in for a week. Negative windchills. It’s slowly warming. Built a tarp tent around my 99 ranger when the sleet first started. These pictures were taken today from inside. Didn’t even have the heat on yet. Think I have done more drinking than mechanical work 😎🥃

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    Finished up the tarp tent around my 99 4x4 ranger today. Just in time ! The sleet started falling as I got it finished. Now the dirty talking begins till she finally rolls over for me. Hehe..will be a little bit slow. But nothing stops this old Devil Dog

    Yep. I’m lost on this one

    Mine is right at 200k miles. First transmission problem. But it happened as it went to fifth. Felt like the shaft hit the floorboard. Then. No gears. But but rpm will actually increase when you shift through the gears

  11. Bear in the woods

    Yep. I’m lost on this one

    Transmission pump is working. Won’t move in any gear. But can hear a rpm change when you go through the gears. Has a little high pitched whine when truck is running. ANY CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON?

    1997 4high not working but 4 low works? Plz help

    Think if you complete the loop by tying the wires that went to fluid level sensor it will go off. Sure it’s not stuck in 4high If push button. Think they have to go to high first. Then low. My understanding is it will not go to low, unless it goes to High first. So possibly stuck in High...

    1994 Explorer 4.0, learning OBD 1 diagnostics, trying to avoid the parts cannon!

    May want to check the fuel tank. They tend to get full of trash. As you drive it gets worse. When you shut it off it lets the trash fall off. Runs better for short while. Then the trash clogs the sock filter on the pump again. Most people never check when they put in a new pump

    1998 & Newer specific Ranger problems.....

    I don’t think its the transfer case. I can hear it shift in and out when I push the button. Keep putting off transmission removal. WAITING ON A JACK. BOUGHT One on Amazon. There was problems with shipping. Just got refunded. But will have to wait again for it to arrive. My younger days I have...

    Distributor acts like REV LIMITER

    I’m thinking the rubber grommets in the valve cover. They are wore out. Not sure if vacuum would make one run so bad after heating up that it would barely move in low range. lol. But 30 minutes later. Drive like new. This thing has had me confused for a while.
