I recently got a craftsman 3 ton jack, stands, and creeper. I have been using the jack to figure out my lift and every time I try to lower the jack, its extremely difficult to get the handle to turn initially. When I finally get it to turn, it turns really fast and drops the truck onto the...

Help! My DD is apart and cant put it together until I figure this out: I am installing 4" skyjacker coils and shocks on my truck and I took out my old coils(sagged F-150 coils) and compared them to the new 4" skyjacker: (new left)Almost the same height... ok whatever maybe stiffer. Compared...

I was at the junkyard the other day looking for a front axle and saw a B2 checked the tag and it didnt have the code I needed, snapped a pic anyway: Looked it up and it has L/S 4:10s!:icon_surprised: Surprised the hell outta me, never seen any b2 with 4:10 L/S

I just bought a set of 4dr explorer leafs from the junkyard. After I got home I started examining them and found this: The top spring is bent up on one of them. I figure I can probably use my Ranger top leafs and the other explorer leafs and make it work though. This got me thinking about...

I am currently saving some money to get me another Ranger.:D I am looking for a 93-97 ex cab 4.0 4x4 preferably manual. I have a couple questions though. Any specific advice or recommendations? I was also wondering about when they changed over to the obdII diagnostic setup. I also got to...

From the factory the Ranger coils are seated in a bushing. They say when you replace the coil it has to be in the same position on the bushing as before. Well my bushings are completely shot and apparently auto parts stores dont think they existed because there arent any replacements that I can...

I recently bought a 7.5 for my 87 super and put in all new gear oil and brake hardware, slapped it in. But when i was putting the brakes on I noticed that there was about 3-4mm of play in the axleshaft.:shok:. Its so bad that the tire moves when bolted. I dont know much about axle components...

On an 87 Ranger with a 2.9 what is after the y-pipe? Is it a Y that goes single inlet into a cat? Or is the Y built into the cat with single outlet? The idiot PO of the truck just welded on a plate with 2 pipes coming off of it with cherry bombs. Used to set off my buddies honda's car alarm...

Im on my last nerve with my gas guage. It used to just be and inconveniance. Then it was an annoyance, and now that I bought a new sending unit for $90 Im pissed. It wasnt working when I got my truck. After a while I put a float on it(it was missing:annoyed:) and it read completely wrong so I...

I developed an oil leak on my replacement 2.9 engine and determined it was the oil pan leaking and decided to pull the engine and check the rear main as well. Changed the oil pan gasket, rear main was perfect, put the engine in and had an oil leak from the oil filter housing where it bolts to...

A while back I had a vibration and after replacing motor mounts, trans mounts, and a u joint(which were also bad btw) it persisted. lifted up my ass end and put the truck in gear let it spin. My wheels were making ovular/up and down motions(i.e. NOT normal!) and my tire would turn 1/4 turn...

I am wanting to go to an auto tech school but am not sure which one. Im curious which schools you guys have gone to/researched. I have looked into UTI and Wyotech. Uti seems to be more industry based while Wyotech seems to be more about custom fab and other options. I would like to do custom...

Just now I saw on the local news a gen1 Ranger caused a fire at a gas station. They said the starter engaged by itself and it ran into the side of the store and caught on fire.....................WTF!?!:icon_rofl: Is that even possible? Facts: the front of the Ranger was burnt and it somehow...

I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!! My driver seat has an extreme lean on the right side causing the right side lean back i dubbed Gansta' lean. Looks like it belongs in a buick or something. Anyways is there a way to fix this? What could be the problem? Ya i know I could just get seats from a parts yard...

Ok so ive been reading and searching threads and checking tech library for awhile now so as to try to not sound like an idiot so here goes.:dunno: I have an 87 Ranger 4wd with shot F-150 coils, F-150 leafs, and completely shot shocks. So obviously time for suspension re-do. I checked tech...
