    Bought 1989 Ranger 2.9L Temp gauge fluctuating alot, why?

    Hi Mibson. It could be the radiator is clogged. The stop leak can work sometimes but it can clog the rad in some cases. I don't think it's the thermostat. The thing I would do next is to replace the temperature sending unit that controls the gauge. This is a lot cheaper than a radiator or other...

    Need More Power out of my 2.3L

    Tackometer Ok Ham-Bone, $25 for the tack is a good price. I will pay for shipping from where you are and I can use paypal. ScottRogers is talking about an (air silencer). Can you guys tell me what this is and where it is? The K&N filter is a good idea as well. I do like the 4:10 rear end idea...

    Need More Power out of my 2.3L

    Do Want Tach Thanks Ham-Bone. It looks like some one went through a lot of trouble to get this newer motor in this 90 Ranger. I do want the tack if it's for a 4 banger. It would make a lot of sense to be able to see the actual rpm. Can you post a picture of it? And what year did it come out of...

    Need More Power out of my 2.3L

    Wow!! That's good to hear. This motor is in good shape and runs smooth. I didn't know that Ford used a 8 plug 4 cyl motor in their Rangers. So in reality I am getting more power in this truck than a standard 4 cyl ? What was the displacement on the 1990 4cyl ranger originally? Another thing...

    Need More Power out of my 2.3L

    Great Tips I looked for a chip on the site Bamachips and didn't find one for the 90 Ranger. I will look at a electric fan and go with the chip install. The rear end option is to expensive but defenently a good option. I have noticed the tranny gearing is really high on the freeway. I have a...

    Need More Power out of my 2.3L

    Hey all, I just got this 90 Ranger and I was towing a small trailer this weekend. I noticed it lacks some hump overall. It moves pretty good on it's own but as soon as I load it up it seems tired. Is there a way to give it some more power with out putting a turbo in it ? It looks like all is...

    Thanks Hey thanks, The needle is stuck at E. On a rare occasion it moves but then back to E. I just removed the instrument cluster because it needs some light bulbs replace. I checked the wires and such and all looks good. The motor is a 2.3L and not a 2.4L, my boo boo. Good to know about the...

    Hey All, I look forward to getting to know some of you and hopefully resolve some issues I have with my Ranger. I bought a 1990 2.4L 2 wheel drive regular cab w/ 5 speed. It has 95k miles on it and it runs great. Two small problems I cannot figure out. The (Rear Anti-lock) light is on and the...
