Caption says it all, but I’ll include a video of the exhaust while it’s idling. I’ve noticed that while taking off from a stop it sometimes the engine doesn’t want to build RPMs. No lights on the dash at all. Any idea what the issue could be??
Practicing on the beater 94. Can’t hurt it, whole suspension needs work anyway. Direct to metal oil based enamel. If you have the rear mount off anyway? Clean up the mess, seal it up. Yes, that is a model brush, small area, lots of pits. Let me layer it on thick in the rougher spots.
Pulled the bed on my own, Saturday. That is in fact the factory Bridgestone Touring T/A P205/70r14. The truck shipped with P225/70r14s on 14x6 alloys.
Took maybe 2 hours from pulling tire through paint. Will be doing the frame blue; shackle, leaf springs, front beams and radius arms fire engine red. Needed a break from the C10 lowrider build.
I lean towards bed lined. AI images lol.
Got this little beauty off FB marketplace for 400. 2.9L V6 manual, and needs a new interior. needs a transmission as well.
Gonna sand it down to paint it (black), and I'm going to put new tires and rims on. Hoping to make it my daily.
Hank is my new daily. 2001 XLT 3.0 Automagic.
He’s got a little rust on the rear quarters and cab corners but the frame is mint!
Any advice on how to contain the rust?
I’ve heard good things about the 3.0 in terms of reliability, but is there anything I should keep aware of?
Let me know what y’all think!
Is this a dumb idea? Im considering pulling my engine and then moving the engine to another location where theres a garage I can work in. Plan would be to pull then engine and then use a chevy colorado to move it. Get it to the garage, lift the engine again and get it on a stand. Do the timing chain job and the reverse the process to get the engine back to the truck.
Unfortunately the place with the garage isn't a great spot to keep the truck.
hello all, I own a 2003 ford ranger with a 3.0 vulcan v6. automatic transmission with bare-bones basic cab. It has a little over 150k miles. Im just wondering what I should do to keep it running for as long as possible. Any advise is appreciated!
Trying to figure out if it would look good tried to get AI to generate an image this is the best it could do 3rd picture.
Got in this morning and turned the key. Nothing. Boosted it and let it run for a half hour. Now when I drive all these are on. What's happening?
I bought this absolute gem of a truck for CA$3,300 last October as my first vehicle. I’m insanely happy with it and just wanted to share some pics of the progress so far
I’ll take any comment, either hate or a compliment
Got to take the truck out to the mountains for the weekend. Man it feels good to stretch her legs!
The 1999 Ranger Extended cab I purchased around 3 weeks ago. I’ve been replacing alot of things that were Spray painted and today I took the Spray painted fender flares off and was pleasantly surprised what she looked like under the flares. I was expecting worse. Tomorrow I’m going to polish the truck in the garage before the New OE Style Flares arrive. Happy 4th. She’s already set up for a morning Dump run :-)
Trying to wire a new radio into a 2003. Bought the scosche wiring harness that allegedly matches the truck, but none of the connectors look like anything on the factory harness. I have no clue what I’m looking at and don’t really know what to do next. will accept any advice.
I have a 2008 2.3l and just drove roughly 1000 miles for vacation I started to notice it on the way back that when I speed up the truck shakes from 50 to 65mph but if I’m cruising it doesn’t it never did this before also when I take a left turn leaving somewhere and speeding up the rear making an odd noise it think it might be something with the trans or drivetrain but I’m wondering if anyone can help out I think
Hey guys, I’ve got a 2004 extended cab ranger and I was wondering if y’all knew of any loaded kits that could fit behind my seats?
Does anybody have any experience with this or these kind of lifts? I'm curious what the downsides would be, I know I won't gain any additional ground clearance but I've also heard that with the rough country and the super lift suspension lift kits, I don't gain any clearance either because the driveshaft hangs low.
