Alright, where's the thread to the meet?

Figured we'd get a thread going to see who all is from Pa. Post whether you like to go wheeling and maybe we can setup a run sometime within Pa. but options are limited to mainly Rausch Creek. I'm from McClure, Pa.

If you put 31's on it would look pretty good if you crank the torsion bars some.

The 3" will look good once its on and you put some 33's or 35's on.

I do everyday....

I'm looking to get a manual BW1354 with the linkage and shifter. Somewhere within 3 hours of me driving time. I can pay cash or if you're looking for a full length center console from an explorer I have one in gray that I'll be taking out and putting my shorty back in. Located in McClure, Pa.

May even find one from a mustang that someone had setup for drag racing.

:furious: Why not just use a Ford 9inch? It should be strong enough for you're doing. The only thing is, is finding one that's already narrowed down to width.

No problem, that'd be awesome man. You should go on youtube and search diesel ranger there's some vids on there of american ranger converted to diesel.

That's been done a lot. There is a conversion kit out there with motor mounts to get the motor in the truck. Remember you will also need a new transmission too, I believe I saw an adapter kit to make the 302 work with the 4banger transmission but that transmission won't hold up to abuse from a 302.

Here check this out, its an explorer but give ya the some idea. This guy used a jeep transfer case in order to keep the truck 4wd http://mooktank.com/?cat=4

This company makes some performance parts for the 2.3's http://www.esslingeracing.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc? And if it is 4X4 don't lower it....if you're wanting a lowered truck with performance you might as well take the 4wd axle out from under it and swap in the 2wd setup its bolt in since...

ranger and explorers came with both 15 and 16inch rims and the bolt pattern was the same through out the years. You could probably fit 32" tires on it with or without some fender trimming. 31's will fit the easiest

That's kind of odd....I too would expect it to probably develop again.

They started putting 4.0's in around 90 or 91, but 91 and 92's sometimes would develop a cracked head. There's a lot of people out there with well over 200k on their 4.0's

It sounds like your left wheel bearings because when your turning left there's more pressure on the right wheel leaving the left not having so much pressure to cause the bearings to make the noise

I would honestly hold back and wait to get a ranger with the 4.0 and with at least 3.73 gears but preferably 4.10's because then with 33's and towing a boat it would still leave you with some power, the 3.0 isn't great performance and fuel mileage is close on them both.

Ehh...its possible for u-joints but most cases they cause a slight vibration when they go bad. One way to check yourself is to park the truck on flat with the wheels blocked and put the truck in Neutral and crawl under and move the drive shaft in a back and fourth motion to see if there is any...

Welcome To The Site.

Welcome To The Site. When does this clicking/crunching occur? At slow down, speeding up, corners, slow speed, high way speed, or all the time? Is it 2 or 4wd?
