I saw in my paper yesterday that they have now stopped making the Ranger as of 12/16/2011.. Its the end of an eara... Its to bad they never changed the looks of the Ranger much over the last several years... I think thats what killed it...

I used the brakets off a 90 crown vic and the p/s pump also.. Then I got a 1 wire Alt and it bolted right up..

I have just been real bussy..... lots of projects to do around the house. Then theres fire wood.. Any free time I have had I have been getting my wood cut and split.. Any extra money I had went into my Mountaineer...

I agree... Your always better buying the right parts to do any job... But when money is tight...... We all do what we want to to get what we want... lol....

Has anyone tried lowering their truck by cutting any coils out of the coil spring, if so does the truck still ride smooth and does it really mess up the camber and caster and make the tires wear unevenly Anytime you change the ride height it will change the camber and toe. Not so much the caster......

That sucks!!

Its all looking good..... I have the v6 mount still in mine ( 8 years now).. So far so good... But I dont race mine....

Looking good..... Let us know how you do at the track...

I used a slave for a 84 2.8L 2wd Ranger.Its and external slave. I think the line I got was for an older f-150. It was longer and its a plastic line. The nipples go right into the Ranger master and slave. Then had to make a flate plate to bolt to the T-5 bell housing... http://i248.photobucket.com/al...

Good luck with the move man.... That would suck that's for sure..... I hope we never have to move.... Wife has state job and its always up in the air if she is going to loose her job because of NY state making cuts... NY needs to make cuts in there office before coming after the blue collar worker...

Looks real good man!!!.... Post some more build pics by all means.....

Use the stock one. Works great...

Yes, Its a Paxton supercharger for a Mustang. You have to have a blow thru carb. A regular carb wont work. I only have it at 6 pounds of boost. I have thought about changing the pully and bumping it up to 9. But I dont drive it much and things are kind of tight right now. So im not spending and mone...

Welcome to a great site.... I have never run my truck at the track.. I would love to at least once just to see what it would do. But wife says, HELL NO!!!!... I'm kind of ok with that.. lol... maybe it wouldnt do as well as I think it would. Then I would be dissapointed and would have to spend more ...

However my car has A/C, power steering, smooth ride, corners like it's on rails, stops on a dime and decent gas mileage. Charger: no A/C, no heat even, no power steering, corners like an ocean liner, stopping is scary as hell at best with those factory drums and at some 4 ~ 6 mpg it's down right ho...
