    torsion bar crossmember

    Just picked up a new addition to the Ranger fleet, an '87 STX 2.9/5sp/4times4 but the torsion bar crossmember has turned back into iron ore:eek:. Anyone ever change one of these? p.s. I tried duct tape but it just doesn't seem to hold so well.....

    my '93 does the same thing, I'm thinking that it's the thermostat or a clogged heater core but I'm too lazy to change it. It's been that way for two years.

    92' 2.3L Ranger will not start!

    Shutters after new clutch

    welcome to the site... It almost sounds like a new clutch on an old flywheel or one that someone sanded down instead of having it turned. When the disk goes bad it's a lot like a disk brake and pads, actually it's exactly like that. When your pads go bad they glaze the rotors and eventually...

    A Few Questions
