Getting ready to pull the entire drivetrain out of an 86 Ranger. I've never seen it run but the seller said it needed a flex plate. Looks like it's been sitting for several years (decades even). According to the door tags, the axles are 3.73 open. Asking $100 per piece on facebook marketplace...

Good lookin little first gen! Must be like 84-85 since there's no 3rd brake light or cargo light. Season 8, episode 7, about 17 mins in.

After all the attention this truck got in the classified section, I promised i'd post an update with pics. The day i brought it home: First impressions? It's a nice little truck. Body is nice and clean, the wheel wells and fenders are solid. Paint is so-so, it looks good from a distance...

I have the opportunity to get an 02 explorer with a bad automatic trans. I've always preferred manuals, so of course the logical progression was to start planning a manual swap. The engine is a 4.6, so I'm assuming late 90's f150 for a donor trans. I'm guessing an xcal or similar could take care...

I've read that these transmissions are prone to failure, but it could be a couple different things. I'm trying to determine what the actual problem is, so I know if it's worth fixing it. The transmission is in an 02 explorer with a 4.6, this is my dads vehicle, so most of this is second hand...

So, i bought a 91 f250 with a 351w. It's got the same tfi ignition they used on the rangers. it didnt run when i bought it, no spark. i put an unknown condition used tfi module in it and it fired right up, now the problem is that it misfires above 3,000 rpm. the misfire shows on the tach...

Guys, take a couple minutes and check for debris behind your blower motor resisters. I very seriously could have lost my truck to a fire tonight because of the leaves that made their way into the air box. I'd heard similar stories, but it really hit home hard tonight! :shok:

Can anybody definitively confirm what rear windshields fit what? I have an 87 supercab and would like to install the 03ish style slider window. I've read that theyre both bolt-in (not grommet fit like the early standard cabs) but according to the interchange database the local junkyards use...

Sick and tired of the kerosene salamanders. Stinky, noisy, hauling cans of fuel... So I'm thinking about one of those 220v electric heaters that hang from the ceiling. Price is supposed to be comparable to kerosene for the same amount of heat. It'll be up out if the way, no more fuel cans. Then...

Alright, so i got a 1978 Polaris Apollo 340 in partial trade for some old junk i had. He said it didnt run, had been sitting a couple years. I pulled the cord, it feels like it had decent compression. Started looking at fuel lines, and that's where (at least part of) the problem was. The fuel...

short and sweet, i have a hand full of aluminum parts that i would like to electroplate in copper. it needs to be a good, durable coating, .002-.003" thick. ive done a lot of googling, seen various techniques with various results. looking for someone that actually knows their stuff that i can...

Anybody into saltwater aquariums? I've kept freshwater, though its been a while since i've had one set up. I was just offered a 75gal saltwater setup for free. Fully stocked and established, everything included. A complete setup, start to finish, top to bottom. So of course im gonna have to move...

Buddy of mine has a 94 f150, its got an EFI 351 thats running crazy rich. It runs rough and occasionally bucks under load. It also starts hard sometimes, and sometimes wont even start at all. He's checked the FPR, no sign of a leak there. Replaced plugs and wires, cap and rotor, helped with the...

I'm getting ready to swap an explorer axle onto my truck. I got it up on stands and realised things aren't quite what I thought they should be. My pinion on my current axle is pointed up quite a bit more than I thought it would have been. I've got 4" lift leaves and no stock block. The springs...

what's wrong with me? as if i didnt have enough to spend money on. oh well, what can ya do? :icon_twisted: btw, it's in 'okay' shape. its a little rough but it could definitely be made daily driver-able i think. doesnt run, i didnt even try to turn it over. he says it needs a fuel pump. we'll...

I've got a friend that just bought a '96 escort with the F-4EAT automatic. The previous owner sold it because of the trans issues. I don't believe it's in need of any hard parts, but beyond that, i have no idea how this thing works or how to diagnose. It starts out in 1st but wont even try to...

Anybody here work on these things on a regular basis? I just bought a house and it seems like the softener isnt regenerating properly. Specifically, it seems like it's not drawing brine out of the tank. Looking for someone that can help me troubleshoot this thing, weather it be in person, over...

Helping a good friend and coworker (Corey W. King) spread the word. After losing his father to cancer, he decided to do something about it. His hope is to see a cure for cancer in his lifetime, and this how he's doing his part. He has bought a beautiful 1967 Mustang to raffle with all proceeds...

i put a 4.0 and m5od in my ranger about 3 years ago and in that time i have had now 3 clutch slave failures. first one was used but obviously not very old, it came with the trans and i just put it together how it was. second and 3rd were autozone or advance auto style replacements. not exactly...
