The rubber hose split on my 97....I waited until it was almost out of gas and dropped the tank. I didn't have any help, so lifting the bed was not an option for me. I used a floor jack and a 2x8 to help drop and lift the fuel tank.

Scrambler, You called my mod a "H-mod Kit" and I was just messin with you a bit..... It was an example of my odd sense of humor. A reference to a line in the movie "Blazing Saddles" "We don't need no stinkin badges"....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lj056ao6GE It's all good. I am just too...

I separated the glass from the backing plate using a 1" plastic putty knife. If I remember correctly, that's the tool I used. I applied the element and glued or taped the glass back onto the backing plate. I did not break the glass. I would have preferred to have a better, read larger, element...

Pay a garage a few bucks to put it on a lift for you to check it out.

I hope the new rules help....sadly major damage has already been done to me. This is over a $25.00 part that I would have given away to the first person to ask for it. I will not argue about the value of my chip. Calling me a scammer is over the top. Especially coming from someone who has...

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good read...thanks

Is it the same airbag computer? I know there are single and dual stage airbags that require different computers. Do you have a link??

I'm sure that would cause the total fall of democracy worldwide. Thank goodness for the self appointed heroes of the Ranger forums. I'll sleep better tonight.

Provided you get the airbag controller to go with the steering wheel and airbag. YES. I took the cluster apart and manually reset the odometer to match.

Pretty good bet the airbags are different electrically. Best to swap the airbag controller also. A matched set will be safest. Next step is get a diagram for both years and compare the resistances of the switches. The 2003 Aviator wheel I put in my 2003 Ranger had different resistances. I had...

No problem with the thread, My 2wd 97 XLT had lighter and power port in bezel. You're looking for 95 or 96 only..
