Dean, this is mitch. If its still overheating, I was told by this good ol boy to do a cowl induction hood. If you do that it should help. the big motor doesn't make air through the grill easy. I've looked into it and wanted to do the conversion to my 88 4x4. Hope that helps. :)

Yeah. the u joints are a confusing bit. I had to replace mine on the diff and I had to pack the rest with grease cause my bad driveline tore it all up.

my 88 4x4 smokes under load and cant even pull my empty quad trailer. Whats wrong? :(

That would make sense. If it had too much or not enough, that would throw the system off.

Drill it out, thread it, and get a bigger bolt is all I can say.

I agree. mine kicks in on my 88 but the bearings in my compressor have gone south so it tries to kill the truck when it idles. try the freon, get a thing to recharge it at walmart for like 13$.

Funny, mine started acting up two days ago doing the same thing (minus the knocking) smoking like a diesel, running with a throb, liquid in the tailpipe, etc.... I took it out on a little backroad outside of town and let er rip. ran it around 3g's and 20 min later it quit smoking.Could be a...

hmmmmm...... You might be right about improper grounding.

What color was the smoke? did you check the oil? Could be the injection computer. can't think of much else, I own an 88 so mine isn't as technical.

Try the basics first before ripping through wires. my friend went through his 92 4runner and did that to realize it was his ignition fuse. Try your fuses first and go from there.

I agree. genius idea. I bought camo fabric at walmart for 8$ a roll. so, whats the point of doing more than that?

Looks awesome! Thats what i want my 88 to look like. right now, its stock height and i'm tryin to decide on a lift. sounds like skyjacker is the way to go.

My 88 Ranger has this issue on ocassion when i get on it to get up to speed. when i go to change gears, it hits 4000 rpms for about 2-4 seconds. do i need to replace my tps?

My 88 ranger is having episodes where i will hit the gas to get up to speed and i will go to change gears and it will hit 4000 rpms in neutral. Is my tps on the growing list of parts I need?

Yeah. I could bick up a parts rig for probly 400$ off cl. oh, and i have a question. I had my truck out for a drive and i decided to gun the motor to get up to speed and i went to hit third gear and i couldn't cause my motor hit 4000 rpms. i took my foot off the gas and it still stayed for 2...
