    '98 Ranger leaf spring

    Hey guys, I'm in the process of gathering parts so i can get my truck running again. My frame rusted out next to my gas tank, before the rivets. I have a great welder who is going to be plating both sides and reinforcing them. I am having problems finding part numbers or anywhere to buy the...

    I hate rust

    As some of you know I've been plowing through some issues with my '98. It's gettin up there on miles (almost 200k) and it has seen its fair share of getting beat around. It's also a northern truck, and sees salt every winter. I have been trying my best to keep it held together, but last month...

    Dash Temp sensor

    I've been having some odd cooling issues with my truck lately, the temp gauge on the dash likes to go from cold to op temp, then back to cold again. Sometimes hovering in between. It never reads hot, so I'm not concerned about overheating, but I wonder if either the connection on the dash is...

    ~ Broken pedal mount? Help! ~

    Went to start my truck tonight and it wouldn't start. Sometimes my clutch engage switch doesn't read that the clutch is depressed, so I pushed it a little harder, something popped, and the pedal came loose. I crawled under the dash and the pivot bar which is connected to the brake & clutch pedal...

    Want to buy: **Want to Trade** - Radio dash trim

    As some of you may know from reading my build thread, my ranger has been broken into twice. First time my insurance covered all repairs, and scheduled when to get it fixed. The second time my insurance only cut me a check which hardly covered anything. I had to buy a radio bezel which fit but...

    E-brake non-op

    Alright guys, just as the title says, my e-brake has been non-op since this past summer, the cable is sagging a couple inches lower than it normally should be.

    Intake Manifold Porting

    Has anyone had any success porting out the Intake manifold? I can get one cheaply from a pick-and-pull around here and I've contemplated getting someone to machine it out, smooth it down, and port match the head better. Has anyone gone into modding their IM? Any thoughts? I have a new ('10)...
