Why they put 3.27's in a 4x4, I will never understand. You would think 3.73's would be the tallest they would use for any 4x4 application. Did you...
Thanks for the compliment man. Yeah, the Ranger addiction is a funny thing. This truck looks nothing like I originally pictured before I started....
Thanks for the tips Brinker. I designed them this way for certain reasons. I've done some flex tests, road tests, and bounce tests, and so far,...
Well thank you.... You sure are quick to pick other peoples trucks apart... They actually do a fine job. Keep in mind, this is a dedicated trail...
A c-clip eliminator is definitely the way to go. I didn't do it, because I'm kind of on a time line, and have to have it done next week (moving in...
This! I replaced damn near every pulley in my 03' before realizing that this was the problem. If it is the cam synchronizer, fix it NOW. If it...
If it's not a freeze plug, it could be the head gasket (hopefully not). I had it happen on my 97'F-150 4.6. It ran great and everything, just...
Welcome to RF! Hope you find the help you need. Regards -Denny
Ha ha, honestly, the cheapest (not necessarily easiest) mod, is a lighter right foot. Unfortunately, these trucks don't really get the best gas...
^^What Hooligan said My 03' was the same way too. Ha ha, it was a pain in the ass!
Those were some of the only years of GM trucks, that I would ever consider buying. You're poor brother will end up regretting that sale...
Oh, and by the way, the check engine light doesn't have to be on, for it to throw a code. It could have a code stored in it. Sometimes the CEL...
I'm positive it has something to do with vacuum. Have you used brake clean, or anything to check for leaks? I had the same problem with my 2.9,...
My 87' has a few "I go nowhere" wires. Everything works, so I pay no mind to them. Both your AC and Power steering pumps will be belt driven,...
Thanks Hooligan. I enjoy helping when and where I can, with what knowledge I've gained through error after error. Ha ha. Hopefully I can keep...
Yeah, you're right where your supposed to be man. Hate to see you change it, and realize it was a huge mistake.
I've found manual t-cases on CL for like $50. Keep an eye out, because they pop up here and there. At my local junk yard they run about $100.
Yeah, unless you're doing some serious hard core wheeling, your factory 8.8 will be plenty sufficient. I wouldn't bother if I were you.
Oh okay. I didn't read the whole thread. I must have missed something. I was talking about the 1354M with slip yoke, being a very straight forward...
Not to be rude, but there was some pretty backwards stuff posted in here. 1: The explorer 8.8 is definitely not a bolt in deal. The Ranger 8.8...
