I have a '90 Ranger with standard 6' bed that needs replacing.  An '86
is available in junk yard.  Looks the same but the P/Ns are different
between the two years ('90 thru '92 are same PN)  Anyone know if the

my '94 ranger has 186k on it, and is beginning to make a weird sound. i want

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger. My ranger won't start unless I give it gas,
something that it's never done before. Once I get it to start it won't
idle on it's own. I can drive it as long as I don't stop. It'll die as

My 99 250sd (long box) is looking for a dump kit/box.  Anyone care to make

I "hear" you can slowly pour ATF into a carb, keeping the revs up, and
many clouds of nasty smoke will exit the tailpipe (water is more
subdued)...
has anyone done this? The engine is supposed to be spotless when torn

My daughters 97 ranger just had the hubs go out last week during a
monster snowstorm in Minneapolis.  The replacement automatic hubs will
cost $900 to replace or about half of that for manual hubs.  According
