So my wife and I just got a 2001 F-250 4x4 7.3 6-spd :D and its got a couple minor issues I wanna fix. I haven't had a chance to check into but figured I'd start here.
First, the fuel gauge stays on full when the truck is on and goes to empty when off. The owner said the fuel tank has been...
Well, I my 4.0 either has a blown head gasket or god forbid a cracked head... I'm hoping this weekend to get a chance to positively I.D. the leak point. It's an external leak, not enough to cause overheating but you can smell it outside the truck and see it dripping down the engine. I know it's...
My 97 4.0 5spd has been off and on having issues going into gears and sometimes out of them. I'm not sure where to look because they don't grind at all, they just won't go in no matter how hard I push/pull, and when it does happen it's been all gears including reverse. I don't have any metal in...
I was wondering if anyone's done struts on a 94-04 Mustang or would know about them. My friend that now has my 96 Mustang needs to replace the struts (due to my insane driving :3gears:) and says that he can't do it cause there is some special tools... I haven't done much research yet but I doubt...
I replaced my front wheel bearings today, as they have been worn out for a few months (already tightened and re-packed about 4 months ago which didn't help) and discovered that the wheel bearings weren't the main reason for the slop in each wheel that I thought was caused by my worn out wheel...
So after having hydrolocked my truck, rebuilding the top end and changing all the fluids now my tranny seems to be having some problems. I drove it about 200 miles or so before changing the tranny or transfer case fluid. Both had a quart of water in them or more but there was hardly any metal...
A week ago today I got my Ranger running again after hydrolocking the engine, and what a better way to really break it in than to take it back to the trails :headbang: I didn't get any action shots just because I didn't want to get my phone muddy but I got the after shots...
FINALLY got my Ranger back on the road again!!! :yahoo: I've greatly missed my truck, driving a Tacoma is just so wrong haha. Needless to say I won't be going swimming with it anymore haha
At school today we were doing headlight alignments for an assignment, so I figured I'd run out and grab my fiance's Tacoma (my Ranger's still down) So I go running out to grab it unlock (or so I think) the drivers door and hop in without paying much attention grabbing for the seatbelt and going...
I just had a quick question about removing the upper intake, got everything pulled off except for what I believe is the blowby pipe off the valve cover, I just wanted to make sure that what I'm wrenching on is the right thing I should be going after...
I have yet to read through my Haynes manual, but I'm wondering if there is an easy way to remove just the upper part of the intake manifold on my 97 Ranger 4.0. I hydrolocked my engine but didn't bend anything. I already got the water blown out of the cylinders and my compression is OK but I...
So my fiance, me and a co-worker of mine went out to whats called the Porter Pits north of Ferndale WA, had some really good fun runnin the trails and flexing out my stock 97 Ranger playing "follow the leader" I gotta say a stock 97 Ranger can wheel :icon_thumby:
Untill it comes to water...
I'm just wondering what everyone out there's favorite tool company is, or what specific tools you have found that one company makes better than another, and why. Over the next few years I'm going to be making a huge investment in tools as I'm going to school for heavy Diesel mechanics :headbang...
So my 97 4.0 has been randomly sputtering the last couple months but the last 3 weeks it's gotten much worse and has been randomly dieing... I'm not sure what to look at first, mass airflow sensor, idle control valve etc... It does it warm, cold, coasting highway speed and city driving. I'm...
I walked out my apartment this morning and looked down the hill to my Ranger and saw my truck box wide open... I got this nasty gut feeling and when I got down there I was right, someone jarred the lock loose and stole $500-$600 worth of hand tools, towing gear and ratchet straps etc. :bawling...
As I was driving into town a while back I saw a 76 F250 with a loaded stock trailer dead the road, I looped back around and offered a hand. I hopped the median (traffic was backed up at least a 1/4 mile cause the sidewalk/median) and pulled in front of his truck some dude with a brand new Toyota...
I'm sure they're out there, I'm lookin for a cheap leveling kit for my 97 Ranger, just 2 inches or so in the front... Anyone got suggestions or experience with them? And will they mess with my alignment? I got TTB
So I just wanted to throw this out to all ya out there, I got 31x10.50 15 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's on my stock 97 Ranger and they are the best tires I've ever had. Four of my friends have them too-245's on another newer Ranger, 315's on a Jeep, and 2 with 33's on an F150 and a Dodge 2500...
