Whats the power like? cause i buy a diesel based on noise and power. I wouldn't mind owning a cummins diesel. It just depends what truck its connected to.

yep. i would probly never part with this truck unless circumstaces made me. I was told also by a friend that is a die-hard dodge owner that if i like diesel and want power in a ranger that i should put a 4bt cummins and a 6spd manual in it.

who knows. the others had major mechanical problems. dodge makes good motors but i have yet to see a transmission that lasts 100,000 miles without being rebuilt. chevy s10's have major issues. every guy i know that had a 4x4 s10 cracked the t-case too easily. ford has some issues too. the...

bought 9 months ago.

Bought off craigslist 9 months ago for 1,500$. will never regret it. i didnt have to drive my 89 isuzu anymore.

well, i guess that means that all around rangers are long enough. you know what though, look at the compact pickups over the years. the dakota, the s10, and the ranger. its not difficult to see which one is still going. of all the companies and american brands, looks like ford got it right.

true. if it was a single cab short bed it would need shafts. supercab models are longer. I looked at rancho but a 2" kit w/ no pitman arm was 850$! skyjacker is probly the best way to go.

Roughcountry.com is where my cousin bought his 4 inch lift for his Bronco 2. is was like 450$. probly need a new front shaft though huh?

What would you reccomend for 31's. thats what is on it now. i bought the truck last August with 31 wrangler m/t's on it brand new. the truck was 1,500$. cause my tranny would grind downshifting sometimes. I took a sample of the tranny fluid and found chunks of silicone in it cause somebody...

Thanks. I'll let you know if i find anything about any tricks to your conversion dilemma.

Sounds like what i should do. my 2.9L is ok, quiet, fun little motor but when i try to trailer a quad or even a couple of lawn mowers, it just takes it all away. I'm crawlin up 35mph hills in second gear! no fricking power. definitely looking into a 4.0L at least. thanks for pointing me in a...

i dont like body lifts much. they make the truck so much more top heavy and tippy. the suspension lifts are more stable, less labor intensive, and give better flex when offroading.

allright. my buddy told me to put a 6.0L diesel in it. i told him he was crazy. no chance it would fit. i measured, its too stinking big. besides, if i wanted a truck w/ a 6.0L i would buy a 2003 f 350.

In my 88, the switch is right next to the blinker control. thank you. i'll try jcwhitney, rock auto, etc... might find something.

I am envious man, truck looks awesome. mine is a stock height supercab 4x4. know a good place to get a cheap 2-3 inch suspension lift? cheapest i can find is 450-600$!

that could be it. mine does something similar. it sounds like its out of fuel when i crank it at first and it doesn't start. most mornings it starts with no issue. at least once a month, it wont start right away, this morning mine wouldn't start at all. it cant be out of gas cause i filled it...

I agree. the motor and trans/ t-case might swap, but with any mechanic work you run into problems. i considered replacing my 2.9l with a 3.0l or a 4.0l. the wiring and computers wouldn't add up correctly though. Theoretically though, if you wanted a newer ranger, you could buy a cab, bed, and...

Yeah. i could see that. if there is a point of contact in there thats worn down, then it would account for needing a new switch from a jy or an autoshop site like jcwhitney.

Hey. my name is mitch and i have an 88 ranger xlt. the wiper speed adjustment dial dont work. if i turn it off full boar, they stop working all together until i turn it back. Fuse, Relay, what would it be??? Also wanna know where my cabin filter is. the air fan is blowin dust, pine needles, and...
