Hi all, this is the spare for my old Ranger. I took a steel brush to the rim to little or no avail. Do I still need to clean this up any better(?) and which primer/paint )combo?) might I use? Thx in advance for ANY

Hi all, `98 Ranger 2WD standard/manual that sometimes becomes all but impossible to get into gear when trying to pull away from a light (or stop sign) - not even by "goosing" the clutch. It's as if all of a sudden an iron or concrete wall has materialized between neutral and any other gear. I...

Hello, `98 Ford Ranger 2WD with the (dreaded!) 14" 70-series option, which calls for a 225-width but I'd like to know; can I safely put a 215-width in the FRONT (leaving 225's in the rear), plz? Thx in advance for any assistance rendered.

Greetings all. *Not sure if this is the correct Forum/Sub-Forum but I trust Admin/Mods will put it where it belongs* I've owned a few manual transmissions in my 46+ years of driving (and driven quite a few more for work), however, I have never (as far as I can remember) had a clutch that would...

Hello - I'm wondering if there might be anything resembling a consensus here on a cooling sys. (radiator, in my case) leak sealer? This would be for an "old" (`98) Ford Ranger, quite a few miles (200K+) - 4 cyl. - Manual Trans. Thx in advance . . .
