I appreciate all the comments. I realize that running on 5 cylinders is not good for the engine. I was going to do a full rebuild about a year ago, but I couldn't source the internal parts that were needed. If anyone has any leads on parts for a full rebuild I would appreciate the leads. I...

I have oil coming out of the oil fill breather on the driver's side of the engine. I have done a compression test on all my cylinders and I have one that is only about 60psi and all the others are between 120-140psi. So with those numbers I know I have some blow-by. I don't have the money or...

If you buy the haynes manual for your truck it has the torque specs in each chapter.

I ended up getting a 2.9 flywheel for a 1986 ranger and it fit great, I just had to buy longer flywheel bolts.

No problem, I wasn't even thinking about Fastenal. I found some bolts there. Thank you.

New one didn't come with new bolts.

I needed to replace the flywheel in my 1984 ranger 4x4 2.8L engine, but there wasn't one available that I could find. I ended up getting an 1987 ranger 2.9L flywheel and everything is the same except for the depth of where the flywheel bolts go (the center section). The original flywheel was...

I just got a 1984 ranger 2.8L V6 4x4. There is a newer motorcraft carb in place. My vacuum diagram is not matching up with the hoses in my engine compartment. I am trying to find out about a WOT VLV on my vacuum diagram. It seems to be missing from my engine compartment. I also have exhaust...

I have a 93 ranger 4x4 ext cab 4.0L V6. My son was backing it out of the driveway and it just shut off. I had driven it the two previous days and it ran fine. We replaced the fuel pump thinking that was it, but the new pump is not getting any power. I have been checking the fuel pump relay...

Working on my third ranger. I have a 1993 ranger extended cab 4.0v6 4x4. Having starting issues. Thought it was the fuel pump, so replaced it. Found out that was not it. The fuel relay is not clicking, but there is power to the relay. Any help would be appreciated. Great site.
