The "What did you do to your Ranger today" thread
#5452
just picked up this 1998 4 x 4 extended cab with a 3.0 L. My first Ford Ranger, I’ve been catching up on 20 years worth of maintenance. Currently the list of work done over the last week or so: new rear end front differential fluid, transfer case fluid, new belt, new DPFE Sensor and silicone hoses, cleaned idle air control valve and mass airflow sensor, Heat treatment in the gas tank, checked and cleaned rear drum brakes, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, put a camper shell on her. Have a new cam sycro in hand I’m going to replace as a precaution. Only real issue that’s popped up is a horrible squealing I’m trying to find. Water on the belt quiets her down so hopefully the new idler pulley does the trick if not I think a new tensioner is in order. Thanks for having me on the forum

I think the 96 and 97 are direct fit, (1996 Federal mandate for door impact bars) but newer doors may work too... I haven't been to the yard to check.

A few years back I wanted to get into HAM. I bought some great equipment, never got my license and never hooked it up. It sits at my desk untouched, never plugged in. Where would be a good place to go to sell it? It is exactly like new, living under a micro fiber towel. I live in the country and could never get anyone to help me.

Too bad you didn't try talking on the rig, there are a lot of good people (some not so good), to talk to.
There is a difference talking to HAMs and on the CB...but still good times.
What is the saying," Talk To The World", I have made a few contact and it is interesting to hear what other HAMs have to say.
Anyway..., if you haven't sold it already two things:
1) How much are you asking for the setup ?
2) Have you talked to a Ham Store ?

Installed some $26 ebay pre cut window tint. It went much easier than i expected, considering I've never attempted putting it on before. Only problem i ran into was the pieces for the door glass was way too big & had to be cut down, & the damn door panel on the end where the mirror is covers up the glass making it hard to get to. The instructions were fair, but their recommendation using water with a small amount of Johnson's baby shampoo mixed in made it really easy to slide the tint around & get it where you want it. Its not perfect, but i did it myself & saved well over $100, so I'm happy.

FML
Got my transmission completely rebuilt in November 2018, rallied the **** out of it and had to get it replaced in March 2019. Drove like an angel and then in June 2019 and a 4 hour drive to sun river and my O/D light started flashing so I had to get it changed AGAIN. Good thing it’s still under warranty because every morning I start it it slips in 1st every time. FML. Love my truck but oh my lord I hate the transmission place. Never go to Chavez Transmission.

Made a video about the blinker “mod” since when I went to do it I couldn’t find a whole lot other than pictures from older posts and models from other forums. If anyone’s interested here’s the attached link! Will also be doing other ranger things on the channel as well.

Looks good! I like the led fogs, was thinking about going led for headlights on mine, when the money allows it. What year is yours?
