I have a '96 b2300. Ive had some issues with it that have mostly been worked out. The problem I'm having and I guess iv had since getting the truck at ~190k miles (currently at 220k) is that 50-60% throttle is effectively flooring it. Giving it any more gas past this point doesn't net any...

It came time to do a smog on my '96 B2300 and a few weeks before I was going to take it in it popped up with a CEL and a P1445 code. "Purge Flow Sensor Circuit High Input" I've been reading around and checked all the vacuum hoses for leaks, didn't find any. Went to Kragen/autozone to get prices...

Fords are the highest traded in clunkers since the cash for clunkers program started. They make up 3 out of the top five cars and 5 out of the top 10. In addition the Exploder is the number one 'clunker' being turned in for execution...

It was said there is ~5" drop with ranger springs sprung under on a 8.8 Assuming the 1-2" of lift you said from using explorer springs, in this case it would only be ~3-4" lift from the shackle. On my Frontier, its not uncommon for people to use shackles for 2-3" of lift. What are the...

I'm thinking of doing a disk brake 8.8 swap out of a explorer on my ranger. If i wanted to keep the leaf under configuration of the 8.8 and keep it at a similar to stock ride height, or possibly a bit of lift. Could I Use that shackle in conjunction with the explorer leafs to make up for the...

More of a curiosity than something I plan on attempting to tackle in the foreseeable future. How do fabricators make fully boxed control arms (not boxing OEM pieces). I understand the concept behind them, but how does one go about welding and joining all the connections inside of a boxed...

I have a very high mileage 2.3 (just about to roll over to 200k). I keep getting intermittent moderately loud rattling noise coming from the engine bay. It varry's based on engine speed and typically goes away at higher rpm. Sometimes it will rattle a little at idle and just off to about...

Nice truck, what would you say was total amount invested?

I've heard from several places for and against welding vertically on a C channel. The idea is that a vertical weld across even 50% of the vertical width of the frame will weaken it dangerously. Supposedly due to the annealing of the metal surrounding the weld, causing it to get brittle and...

I was recently given a '96 B2300 with just shy of 200,000 miles on it. Mechanically sounds outside of seriously blown U-joints, pinion seal, O2 sensor, coil packs, and a few other odds and ends. After fixing it up its made a pretty reliable beat around truck for hauling stuff around spare one...

I'm about to order some tire's and I found this page but I'm a bit confused about the "Lift Height" column. what does it mean by 2", 4", and 6"? Is this variations in factory ride height? I have a '96 B2300 2wd and I'm trying to find what size tire's I can fit. If i have 6" "Life Height" I could...
