I have a 1993 Ranger that's been giving me some problems. About 3 months ago the starter began to drag turning the motor over until eventually it stopped all together. The truck has roughly 350k miles on it so I assumed it was just the starter going bad and so I replaced it. Well here we are...

So I am acquiring a 05 Sport Trac. It is in really good condition with low miles. The only problem is that it is the model that has the bag, and the bag, is gone, and I rather have a different console anyways! I was wondering if you guys knew if the 03 Ranger Floor Console would be a good...

Hi guys, I have a 91 awd aerostar (in Washington if anyone interested) and am curious if the steering shaft can swap into my on ranger? My ranger has two U joints in its shaft one about half way up and another just inside the firewall that kicks to the left to steering wheel. (It has a custom...

What's up Guys, figured i'd introduce myself. I have an 01 Ranger, and thanks to this board I have actually gained a ton of information since they are very similar vehicles. also the aerostar ranger expolorer parts interchange list is the main reason I decided to join...I can't find the...

I have a Explorer Sport with the 4.0 SOHC with bad timing chain cassettes. I am going to replace the engine with a 4.0 that is in a '94 Ranger. Is their any known problems before I get into this? Thanks in advance Don Gratz

My truck has a clicking sound that sounds like a spark plug now. I took it for a spin and when put the pedal to the metal the engine misses and it just revs. Normal when just going like 25-30 mph. I Believe my engine is out of time bc I replaced the timing belt the other day and accidentally...

Hey folks, First time poster here, hopefully I do things right. I am currently driving a 97' Ford Ranger V6. I've been having some AC problems lately and I'm hoping to find some things to look into. Early this Summer the compressor was cycling pretty heavily and I took that as a sign...

I've lost vacuum in my HVAC system and all air comes out of my defrost. I pulled the vacuum reservoir and it was half filled with a gas/ oil mixture. Its smelled like gas in my truck for a few months but then just recently the vacuum has died and I get air only out of defrost. I cant believe...

I have done a lot of research on upgrading the front brakes of my 93 Explorer with those from a 95 Ranger. I really like the idea of the dual calipers and larger rotors. TedJ's write-up "1st Gen 4wd to 95-97 Ranger Brake Swap Info/Parts List" does a pretty thorough job. Thanks Ted...

Hey guys and gals, I am brand new to the forum and new owner of an older explorer, my first Ford. I bought a 1999 Explorer 2 door 4x4 from my step father out of necessity and lack of options (nothing to do with make and model, just older than I would have liked). I am a single father who...

Hi all, First time posting. Appreciate any help you may be able to give. I recently replaced the compressor, drier, and orifice tube. Wanted to do it the right way so I had a friend who does AC help me evacuate, pull vacuum and charge up. When idle the system seems fine. When driving the...

Hello, I am working on installing a 96 Ranger engine (2.3L, 4-cyl) in a 94 Ranger. Most everything has gone pretty smoothly. The problem I have now is with the crankshaft position sensor. I posted this question on CarGurus and SuperScout1 said that I should look here for advice from...

Hey guys, got an 03 ranger edge supercab. The Tranny is slipping in overdrive...its more of a jerk at high speed. I searched on fordparts.com by vin number and they say I've got the 5R55E. My question is can I use slightly different trannies like a 4r55e, a 5r44e, or a 5r55e from a newer ranger...

Finally got around to making an account! My older brother (BMXking5) got me into Serious Explorations back in the day. He spent all his time on this site before he passed, and I felt it was time to follow in his footsteps! You might remember his '93 Explorer monster... Anyway, here is my 2004...

Please help, I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT. The automatic front locking hubs were replaced with the Rugged Ridge manual locking hubs. They have worked great but I did not use the 4x4 for a while and went to engage it and they will not engage. When I rotate the switch inside to lock into...

Hi everyone I have a 94 b2300 and have been having issues with it since I purchased it used a couple of yrs ago. The truck will not start if the temp drops below 40 degrees. Does anyone know what could cause that? It is also gotten to where it will crack but runs rough and crawls like a turtle...

Hey everyone I was wondering what your opinion on my problem is. I have been looking all over many different forums to see what my problem likely is. Car: 1991 Ford Ranger 4 cyl. 2WD First symptoms: It started with losing power and missing after about 20 min of driving. Once the engine...

Hello From Indiana, The Fma means force=mass X acceleration, it's the -acceleration I need to reduce the force when the unwanted contact can be made. I have a 2001 4X Ranger XLT with BF Goodrich 265's that have increased the rolling inertia enough that my ability to properly stop when needed...

Ok, so I replaced the shift motor on my transfer case (94 ranger stx manual hubs push button 4x4). That was simple. and 4 wheel drive worked. But only for a while. I dont know what happened in between it working and not working however I am getting different symptoms this time. 1. buttons...

I drive a 1999 ford ranger xlt 4x4 it's lifted 3 inches and has 33s on it, when I'm driving at 60mph my rpms run right at 2100, so I looked at the door tag and it said I have 3.73s but I looked at my rear end and my tag is gone, so I believe it has been regeared before I bought it

I'm going to be replacing the motor and trans in my '93 Ranger soon. It will be getting a mildly worked 4.0L-OHV (comp 410 cam, light port/polish, headers), but I drive it and work it hard. I feel like the available parts store motor mounts just don't hold up (or the trans mounts..). I can't...

Hello, I am new to this forum. Have a 94 Ranger XL 2.3 (manual). I replaced most everything after a Craig list find and it runs OK now. IHC and TPS replacement improved idling considerably. However, a) If AC is off, RPM sticks at 900 after truck is warm, but it often returns to 700 on its...
