I don't think the compliment, or the tire size question, was aimed at you Jamey. ...although I do have to say, the truck you're using as your avatar is a nice looking one.

dallenwayne, Your diesel is a Dodge truck?

BFG AT's 31X10.50-15's

How Do, Beachblum! =)

It's oil. Probably valve cove gasket....and its a 2.3, not a 2.4.

The bear's story: So I'm heading over to see Wanda the other night and some yahoo in a Ford Ranger comes barreling over the hill all hell bent to leather, RIGHT when I'm crossing the road!…:D ;)

I agree. Could also be the difference between two different companies or a testament of how exhaust systems, as they exist today, compared to how they were engineered in the 70's and 80's. When I was a teen in the 70's, we did straight pipe a car I had (replaced the cat, but muffler remained)...

No it really wouldn't. You still have the muffler, you're just going around the cat. One time I drilled a 1/2" hole in a plugged cat and all these little plastic balls came flooding out ('80's GM). When it was done pouring out, the car ran much better. A little louder, but if he'd have welded up...

Welcome Turbo! =) If you can't find the info you seek here, you could also try The Ranger Station. It's helped me a time or two. ...and I understand about your '99. My '98 XL has been a bit of head scratcher from time to time. I still have fonder memories of the '89 Mazda that this one...

Welcome Den! =) In case you're curious, gear ratios for that 5-speed should be.... I - 3.72:1 II - 2.20:1 III - 1.50:1 IV - 1.00:1 V - .79:1 The rear axle features a 7.5" ring gear and the ratio is likely 3.45:1 (about 99% of the Rangers from that time had that ratio), although 3.73: and...

Electricity don't flow if there's an opening in the circuit...Test the relay's.

Problem with the Ford Rangers, when they stopped making them, they immediately stopped making all parts for it, too. Normally, a manufacturer will continue to supply parts for a discontinued vehicle for about 10 years after production has ended. Best to check with the aftermarket.

Bad relay.

Welcome Jill. =)

What was so wrong with a phillips head screw securing a ring or keeper to hold the lock in place?! :mad: If the lock is still usable, have you tried contacting a Ford dealership to see about getting replacement keys? Make/Model/Year/VIN # should be all you need.

Mike, Would the tranny be able to hold up for long?

I put this in your American Dream post, but I'll include it here, too. Reply to whichever one you want.... There's no diagram under the hood? Back then Ford would put routing diagrams for the hoses on a sticker that was placed on the underside of the hood. If you can't locate one on the hood...

There's no diagram under the hood? Back then Ford would put routing diagrams for the hoses on a sticker that was placed on the underside of the hood. If you can't locate one on the hood, you should be able to find one online. Make sure you use the one for your transmission, because an automatic...

Welcome and congrats on your latest grab! -b

If you know how to spin a wrench and can weld, you could probably straight pipe it for less than $20. Don't forget to include a bung for the all the computer crap to hook to. ….and if you get caught, I never told you a dam thing! ;)
