2002 Ford Ranger 3.0L 113k On my way to Lowe’s this morning to buy a new fridge I noticed what looked like smoke coming from the passenger side of the truck from under the hood. I pulled over and instantly smelled the sweet aroma of coolant and noticed it was coming out of what looks like a...

Briggs and Stratton model number 44N677-0001-G1 Carb number 593197 After engine started running poorly, I pulled the plugs to check them and they were both saturated with gas. Pulled the carb off and took the bowl off it and found the plastic tube/tower the single jet sets in had a broken...

JD D140 with 22 Hp Briggs 121.1 hours Did a tune up with oil and filter change as well as plugs and fuel filter and air filter. Ran like new money as usual for a week on nonethanol then it started sputtering at full throttle which led to a rough idle with no full throttle. Took the carb apart...

2002 Ford ranger 3.0 L. 112k For the last two weeks I have been trying to chase down why my truck will not start randomly. Two weeks ago after work one morning I go to start the truck and I have no crank no start issue. All the dash lights the interior lights headlights everything we’re on and...

2018 Malibu 1.5L 87k My niece has recently started having an issue where her steering wheel jerks to the left at a complete stop and she gets a “steering assist reduced” message pop up on the dash. My code reader didn’t show anything so I took to the web to see what I could find. What I’m...

2013 Honda Civic LX 1.8L 207k So my wife just text me at work and said when she turned the A/C on in her car there was a faint hint of nail polish smell steadily coming out of the vents and it never stopped until she got to her moms with the baby about seven miles down the road and shut it off...

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L 4x4 approx. 190k Dad told me the other day that his truck has started to randomly shut off while driving. He said there’s no shutter or surge like it’s struggling it just “shuts off like a tv” at any and every speed. I called him today to check on if he had gotten it...

2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 104k Randomly while driving I’ll come to a stop at a light or stop sign and notice the truck is setting around 12-1500 rpm instead of the normal 700ish. At first I put the truck in neutral to see how it would react at a stop sign and it shot up to just over 2k rpm’s...

2013 Honda Civic LX 1.8L 204k I was doing a cursory check of the tire pressures on my wife’s civic just now and noticed that three of the four tires have what seems to be bulges only it’s not protruding outward like a typical bubble, it’s going inward on the sidewall of the fire. I have never...

The wife and I just welcomed our baby boy into the world six months ago and in that time we have became increasingly aware that a ford ranger and a Honda Civic aren’t gonna cut it much longer due to space. Both are paid for and both run great. The ranger is an ‘02 regular cab so it’s not helping...

Just curious as to what actual bad UOA’s y’all have had in all the times you’ve sent your samples off to be checked. I’ve currently got Magnatec 5W20 in my Ranger than I plan on running out to 5k then sending a sample in to Blackstone to see what they say. It’ll be my first sample sent. Edit...

2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 97k The other cold morning I walked outside to start the truck a minute or two before I left for work and heard the serp belt singing it’s song telling me it’s time to change. I get to work and pull up my account on rock auto and go to reorder the serp belt kit that I...

2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 92k A couple of days ago I was on my way home from work and hit a pot hole and now this morning on my way in I started hearing a humming and whistling noise at 60mph on the interstate. It’s not constant nor is it extremely deafening, but I can hear it in the cab at...

2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 87k Truck started stalling and jerking badly on the way home from work at 65mph on the interstate for about 30 seconds and then it ran fine for the remaining 20 miles home. I got home and plugged my reader in and got P0171 and P0174 pending. I know those codes can...

In terms of routine maintenance such as chain maintenance and valve related stuff? I’m specifically asking from a dual sport/dirt bike perspective. I understand too that the actual level of use dictates the maintenance schedule. I ask because I have read in several different forums about dual...

Hey guys! As per the title, I want a dual sport for nothing more than to ride through the pasture and some back dirt roads. No “sweet jumps”, no wheelies, no racing(all the fun I know). Just a bike that has a headlight that I can enjoy riding in the country where the trees don’t have cell phones...

What is your “go to filter” when they are readily available? This isn’t a filter bashing thread I’m just curious as to what you all shoot for when buying your filters. I typically run a Mobil1 M1-209 on my Ranger with the 3.0L and if I can’t find one at my local stops I’ll grab a Wix XP. I do...

2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 85k Just curious as to what the mileage life expectancy of these plugs are? I have looked online and a few articles point to 20kish miles while others in forums have reported as far as 40k with them. These are the OEM plugs that my truck calls for, however, I was...

2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 80k I was idling at my local zaxbys drive through getting dinner for the wife and I earlier and the truck just started acting like it wanted to stall all of a sudden for about 15 seconds and then it recovered on its own. It then drove perfectly fine with multiple...

Hello all, My previous "oil turns dark quickly" thread seems to have been remedied. 02' Ford Ranger 3.0L 77k(original) 4x2 Automatic. I bought the truck with 66k miles on it, i changed the oil which was conventional Castrol 5w20 and a champ filter over to Castrol edge 5w30 and a fram ultra...
