    Tire/Wheel Changes Speedometer Changes

    I thought I'd report my speedometer changes when I swapped tires & wheels on my 1990 Ranger Super Cab 2WD. My Ranger Super Cab came with 14" rims and 215/70R14 tires and 3.45 rear end gears. I switched to 15" rims and 235/75R15 tires. Naturally this caused speedometer errors. Using my GPS I...

    Well my 1990 Ranger Super cab WAS made before 23 Oct 1989 as it does have the smaller 16.3 gallon tank. I ran it to the top of the RED E mark on the fuel gauge and then filled it up. It took 15.5 gallons before it overflowed. I'd like to swap in the larger 19.6 tank. Is the swap easy? Do...

    Now that I've settled on 3.73 gears in my 8.8" rear end I'm getting closer to upgrading my wheels to 15" rims and 235/75R15 tires. I'm wondering if a 15" rim with a 235/75R15 tire will fit in my 1990 Super Cab XLT spare tire holder? It looks tight as it is with the 215/70R14 that in it right...

    Ranger Bed Bolts - All the same?

    Since the Ranger 6' beds seem to interchange from 83 to '11, I'm guessing that the bed bolts and the nut clips are all the same. Or are there some years that the bolts are different? Thanks!
