thanks for the info, that help page is what I really need.

Hey guys, I bought a 1988 4x4 ranger and am wondering how deep in I am before I start ordering parts; it came with a bad passenger spindle bearing, and both the passenger u-joints are completely shot. Is the spindle bearing replaceable? If so, where would be a good place to find one? Is the...

that's good to know, I was hoping that was the case. Thanks for all the info

Actually my truck is one of the ones that actually comes with a tac so figuring that out isn't a big deal; but that's good to know

Hi, I was reading through the owner's manual that somehow was still with my 88 ranger when I bought it - in the shifting section it warns you not to downshift from overdrive over 55 mph. I'm curious if there is a legitimate reason for this, or if it's just kind of a generic safety warning? If...

Thanks for the advice, I forgot to mention when I talked about the tps voltage that that was after I did the zip tie mod on the gas pedal - I also tested it just rotating the lever on the throttle body with the cable taken off and that was what gave me the 4.5ish result. It has a brand new NTK...

yeah, he got everywhere pretty decently except for the bed when you take the liner off. Although there are some spots where there's drippage that you can't see in the photos. I plan to repaint someday, but right now it looks pretty good from thirty feet away at fifty miles per hour

Thanks; and not at all, lol - the old guy I bought it from did most of the modifications on it and painted it that color himself. Don't recollect the name of the paint but I have the can and it's some forest-green type. The original color was the horrendous tan paint

I'm a new member, fairly recent reader, and this is my ranger, Kermit. 1988, and cleaner than he has any right to be. The interior is far from factory, however
