My son has a 97 2.3 auto ranger. We bought a 99 3.0 for parts. Both are 2wd. will the transmission out of the 99 go in the 97 if we needed it? Just trying to take off everything we might need before I have the 99 hauled off.

How hard is it to remove the drivers side bed side on a step side bed? We have a parts truck and the drivers side has some damage. I am wondering if it would be easier to go to Pick and Pull and remove a bed side if I can find one at the local yard. We are going to paint the whole truck, but...

So my son went to take his drivers test today and we were about 2 miles from home and he said dad the check engine light is on. Plugged the code reader in and got a P1443 code. Unhooked the line coming from the carbon canister to the purge valve and didn’t feel if sucking any air. Picked up a...

Back story. I just bought a 99 ranger with a 3.0 in it. 192k on it. The owner said his son was driving it and it quit and wouldn’t start. He took it to a shop and they said the motor was locked up. If you pull the dipstick the oil is old but not milky and radiator has coolant and so does the...

My son bought a 97 4cyl auto ranger. I am pretty sure the fluid has never been changed. It is pretty dark. I have heard for years if it wasn't ever changed not to do it. Then I have read to change it. What do you guys recommend?

We need a new bed on my sons ranger. It’s a 97 short bed. Looks easy enough to get off my question is will any short bed fit? Like would an 04 fit? Only issue I can really see is would the tail lights plug in?

So on my sons ranger the dome light doesn’t come on when you open the door or roll the switch up on the dash. But I can push the lever either way and the light comes on. Also it doesn’t chime when the door is open or you leave the keys in it. I’m not sure if it is supposed to or not? Any ideas...

Helping my son get his first truck around and needing to upgrade the head unit. looking for blue tooth and apple car play and touch screen. Ability to add a back up camera would be nice. Also might as well put some new speakers in. I don't have much experience doing this stuff so not sure what...

My son just bought a 1997 2wd 4cyl regular cap ranger. We live in the country and one of the headlights is burned out and it was holding water. Are any of the replacement clear lenses any good? Trying to find some new lights to make the little truck look better and have some good lights. My son...
