    My 5th and Reverse not working

    Sound like your throw out bearing, pilot bearing &/or synchronizers have gone beyond their working tolerances. Had this issue with my 89' B2, unfortunately replacing just one of these likely won't see you through as generally when one is failing it tends to stress the other components out as...

    Ranger 2008 front wheel bearings

    Tailgate compatibility

    My new to me 2007 ranger was bought without a tailgate, I've looked into what year models would work but have had conflicting information. Can anyone help clarify what years I should be looking at that fit. Thanks in advance.

    In the process of replacing the fuel pump on my 2007 2.3, 2 of the 4 fuel quick connectors clips broke. 1, the biggest of the 4 that goes to the charcoal canister & the other is the center connector that leads to the filler neck. I have spent 2 days (multiple hours) searching for both...

    How did you find us???

    I've been aware of this site & similar for quite a while, coming from the Bronco 2 family, only a few months ago did I finally come to own my first ranger. Working on bringing life back to it, hence my reason for joining. Glad to be part of the Ranger house.
