How did the Mazda/Ranger Seats fit your truck ?

Hello, I haven't been around for a while but was interested in what the Members of this Site might say. I have an '03 EDGE, 4x, and want to swap the 3.0L for a 5.0L ! The swap is intended for ease of driving and possible better MPG, but not for speed or high performance. Is there a way in...

Yes and No ! No they are not a bolt in, the Tracks are different ! Yes... IF, the Seat Track are swapped, some bolt in and it is easier.

You are talking about the 60/40 Bench Seat, Center Console, the one that folds up ? To think people were throwing them away only four or five years ago !

OK just reread your post. Head gaskets are OK, have you done a compression test ?

I did a swap on an'88 4x but nothing on the newer designs but other than special headers most 5.0's are a bolt in. L&L Products makes some great Conversion Kit but for the earlier Ranger, but I am sure there are a lot of info out there in other Ranger Forums.

My first was an '88 STX, 4X, High Rider. After a year or so of owning and driving the 2.9L, 5 sp, and getting 15 mpg at best I swapped in a '93 5.L, auto, and my mpg went to 19-21,depending on how much I pushed it ! I always thought Ford should have made a 302/5.0L Ranger, turned out to be a...

Why ! Why get rid of the best Hood Ford has ever made, maybe second best the GT500 Mustang hood was a good one for sure ? Repaint the Hood Flat Black, a different color side panel would make the scoop look larger, maybe use the body color as a side color. The Scoop as put it, is a Crowl...

I can't tell you exactly what to do but here are my thoughts on getting started. There are problems with the heads, cracks and freeze plugs, the stock computer may not handle this mods but should, and the motor should be removed from the chassis. The 2.9L is a good motor but so under powered...

I do remember the Buick Set Ups, up to Stage IV... I think ! Ford, indirectly has Stage setups, via SVO, now SVT, all in Book Form, they called it Stage Building at least if my memory remembers correctly, what was it we were talking about, lol ! Although Ford HAD, Stage Building, it was for...

Hello, Old Post fer sur ! If you read this posting, two things, please ! 1) Are you still in business, do you still do Projector Retrofits in Ranger headlights, and where are you located ?, 2) Is there anyway to update the pictures (thank you Photobucket - should be against the law), I would...

Check out "Closer to Wholesale" I think that is where I got mine for my Steppie ! It is a one Lid type, center locked but it works really good.

Hello to anyone that wants to read this and help ! I want to replace the pictures that have gone away thanks to Photo Bucket and their money hungry new policies ! How do I get into a CLOSED POST ! Do I need to send the pictures to someone or is it possible to get a Temporary Pass to EDIT...

Hey, How have you been ? I am on the West Coast now, SoCal,Temecula, CA. If you are ever down this way, please feel free to stop and say hello. I have a few bottles of Wine and a couple of beers, COLD, and would be willing to sit and talk.

I started to read every post but decided not to so if this has been said before sorry ! I don't go bu miles to replace the shocks, I feel the ride of the truck if after a bump you get a few extra bounces then the SHOCKS need replacing. Another point, don't go by stock or lift kit lengths, always...
