Re: Recommendations for Mustang (10.5"/10 spline) clutches?
Well, I've got an update. I TRIED to go with the O'Reillys Power Torque (K0048-01) and boy what a mistake that was. Despite this being the model number listed for an 89 Ford Mustang 5.0L, the pressure plate is for a much older clutch fork and bell. Those pressure plates require double the amount of ...

Re: Recommendations for Mustang (10.5"/10 spline) clutches?
I don't doubt that there are only a few companies that make these, I also understand that just because the same company makes them, there can be quality differences between the various products they make based on the purchaser's specs. So differences in material, differences in construction, etc. Po...

Re: Recommendations for Mustang (10.5"/10 spline) clutches?
Well one thing I didn't notice is the price for the Summit Racing clutch was a Thanksgiving sale price. When I looked at the clutch again later this week, the price went up to $138. While that's not a massive increase in price, it puts it above the price of other aftermarket brands, like the Zoom ( ...

Re: Recommendations for Mustang (10.5"/10 spline) clutches?
You weren't kidding about them not being the best priced. Even their Stock/OE replacement clutch kits are double the AutoZone Duralast or Summit Racing branded clutch kits. I can understand being 10-20% more, but it begs the question what justifies that hefty of a price tag for something like a clut...

Recommendations for Mustang (10.5"/10 spline) clutches?
When I 1st started this V8 Ranger venture, I got a lot of used parts off eBay. Standard kinds of parts, I got from AutoZone just because it was convenient, and wasn't likely to be enough different to matter (e.g. hoses, gaskets, etc). For more specialty stuff (e.g. Universal spark plug wire kit, clu...

Re: Board is back online
That's true.
The EECTuning.org forum has A LOT of lurkers that search for what they want, read, use the info, and never ask a question or even create an account.
I just wish phpBB gave better visibility into the number of passive views.

Re: Transfer case hp max
I don't know of an exact number, but if I had to guess, I'd say a 350hp engine isn't an unreasonable load given the load will be split between front and rear. Now that's setup against a 350hp engine, not driving all 350hp to JUST the front axle. If you have the ass-end stuck in mud or hanging off a ...

Re: Challenges of replacing seats in OLD Rangers
Turns out, I've asked this question before. I found that thread and reminded myself about the details that have already been given, and I that I just forgot about. It seems that seats are made up of the seat portion, the sliders, and then mounting hardware that mounts the seats down to the floorboar...

Challenges of replacing seats in OLD Rangers
As many of you know, I have an 89 Ranger as my daily driver. And with the exception of the driveline and paint, it's surprisingly OEM including the seats. And while the seats are not ripped up shreds YET, they are definitely showing their age. They are getting to the point where I'd like to replace ...

Re: Ranger Drag Trucks
Very nice. What would you estimate the power at? It's amazing to me how stating HP never tells the whole story. Take the modern day full size trucks with their modern day 350-400hp engines, lighter bodies, and 8-10 gear transmissions. Even with the help of 4wd, I don't see any of them going 11.5 in ...

Re: PATS Wiring
I wish I knew the answer to that, but I'm fairly sure the guys at eectuning.org will. It used to be the 89-95 Mustang EEC strats were the most popular. But as time rolls on, those are becoming less and less popular, harder to find, and more is learned about newer EECs. So those EECs are kind of yest...

Re: Hit a damn deer...
LOL. You aren't the only one that's mentioned the window covers needing to be black now too. In fact, I think that got mentioned while we were doing the bumpers. So I guess that's something that'll have to happen.

Re: Hit a damn deer...
Here they are. Notice I also dipped the silver tailgate panel. I went a week or so with just the bumpers, and while I noticed, it wasn't something that was super obvious. But dipping that silver panel is a HUGE noticeable change that's hard to ignore.

Re: Hit a damn deer...
I meant to get some this weekend after washing the truck. I also Plasti-dipped (i.e. sprayed) the silver tailgate cover as well. Now it's a solid flat-black panel that matches the flat-black bumpers. And I have to say, I REALLY like the look. I did notice on one of the wheel well trims, something fl...
