I was driving my 88 Ranger 2.9 the other day. It had started making occasional noises lately that sounded like it was coming from the transmission, transfer case area. When I would let off of the gas, it sounded like someone was stomping with their shoes on the bottom of the truck about 3 times...

My 1988 Ranger has a small issue. When I step on the brakes to disengage the cruise control, everything seems fine. when I release the brakes, the cruise control reengages. The only way I can turn off the cruise control is to hit the Off switch on the steering wheel. Truck is 1988 Ranger and...

Good Day, I have not posted in so long, it looks like my history has been erased. No worries. I gave my son my treasured '88 that I have had since I was 21. I am now 46! My son joined the Army Infantry and is assigned to 101st Airborne(wife and I are very proud). Since he will probably be...

I need to replace my 3 u-joints in my front axle on my 88 Ranger. Is it possible to replace the third u-joint on the passenger side, closest to the diff with out dropping the diff? The outers will not be a problem. Is there enough room to get the c-clamp press in there?

Good Day Team! Went out to my truck today, which is an '88 Ranger, and had some water on my driver's side rubber floor mat. I went to search this forum and as usual, found some possible answers. After inspecting the truck, the cowl vents look very clean and rust free. It is a California truck...

Morning Team! I want to replace the window trim in my doors. This is the trim that is called the door glass run from LMC. I pulled the old stuff out no problem, but the new trim will not slide down all the way into the channel. It looks like I will at least have to take the door panel off. Does...

Team, Is there an aftermarket maker for a carrier bearing for my 88 STX extended cab 4x4? I looked at LMC but they only have 2 wheel drive. Should I just go to Ford? Thanks in advance, Justin

Team, I have not posted in so long, I had to re-register! Glad to be back. Does the 2.9 have a gasket or O-ring around the distributor? Looks like the engine is leaking from the back and the valve cover gaskets are new and just fine. Thanks in advance, Justin
