A buddy of mines talking about putting short screws into his tires where the treads thick. Anybody done this before? Just kinda curious about it. With those things digging into the Ice ide assume they'd eventually rip that tread up and ruin the tire

Had a bit of downtime at work so I've been clearing up some snow drifts out here in the parking lot for about 2 hours. Hehe.

My ranger has 175,000 miles on it, its running a little rough lately. It's not pulling any codes, and the valves are making a little bit of noise in both heads. The miles are starting to add up and since there's no codes I get the feeling there's a mechanical issue coming on. When I get a day...

I'm looking at a 99 Cherokee, the guys saying he's getting a shake/wobble when he gets on it (in 2w.) I crawled under it and took a quick look to see if there was any play in the driveshaft ujoints and they fealt fine. I did notice a pretty bad leak in the front differential seal though. I'm...

My truck runs great, the only thing i've noticed lately is that if i start to drive and the engines a little cold, when i barely give it throttle it lopes. It doesnt sound like its gunna die, but its enough to make ya bob back in forth while your driving through the neighborhood. Its done it in...

Kind of curious what the different options are, scrapers scare me. I found a video on youtube of a guy using a bristle brush in a die grinder and it worked beautifully. Its quick and leaves a nice shiny surface. However, im usually stuck without my air compressor, so what else works?

Looked at a car for a friend. Water pumps cracked and its running funny. makes what sounds like knocking, or maybe a piston ring slapping around (Intermittent during idle). It isnt losing too much compression though, it drove alright. So i was thinking it might be the water pump making the...

Im looking at a 98 ford escort with a hole blown in the oil pan. The car was parked on a steep driveway, and died once it got to the bottom of the streetand when they started it again it blew a hole in the oil pan about the size of a quarter. There were little peices of metal stuck in the hole...

I lost my only set of keys for my ranger, and i cant afford a locksmith yet. Damn things parked 2 blocks away from my house, and i need to move it before my buddy's landlord throws a fit. So i pulled the ignition switch out, started the truck. Then i ran into another problem, the steering wheel...

My ranger's been giving me lean bank codes since i got it. I suspected the MAF sensor for some time. I'de clean it with some contact cleaner, and the light would shut off. After that stopped working, i bought a new one, and it didnt do anything. Still getting the same codes. It idle's alright...

I'm looking up how to clean my maf sensor and i stumble across this place. Glad i did. A forum of people proud of their rangers. I've got a 97 4.0L automatic, and i love it. I used to have a lumina before, i thought i was havin' some fun in it until i realized how fun rear wheel drive + a...
