    car just took a dump

    Rebuild Kits?

    Thanks. Im actually debating on even fixing the damn thing. I hate it because it had complete body work & paint done a few months ago & the interior is in good to excellent shape. I really dont have the time to mess around with it & need something to drive NOW...

    I got one 4 you techies

    yup No $hit....on a newly aquired 2.3 change the module, coils, plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, o2 sensor, oil, check the vacume tree for loose or missing hoses and clean the valve in the air/idle control. Now....your 2.3 is well on it's way to 200K.

    AC COmpressor

    yeah I tried that but the store I search had a different "brand" for each one....wouldnt that figure. I bet you are right though. Someone gave me a compressor from a late 80's 4 banger and it is pretty different as well. I may just go ahead a get a rebuilt one from the Zone...hell, they are...

    AC COmpressor

    Will a compressor from a 5.0 work on the 2.3? Someone once told me the alternators were interchangeable so I was wondering of the compressor was as well. AND.....if anyone has a clutch from a 2.3 compressor laying around please e-mail me if you wanna get rid of it....my clutch just went bad.

    BRAKES....or not

    Damn, been awhile since I've been in here! Anyway, I have a question. My damn brakes dont work worth a $hit! We have bled them and all that jazz and they still suck. It seems to be getting worse. They are hard as hell to push down and takes forever to slow to a stop. Dangerous! BAD...

    What the hell.......

    I tried to install some 6.5's (speakers) in my doors tonight (on my 92 LX). Anyway, the damn things wouldnt fit because of the window rail. Are the damn door speakers brand specific or something? What does that vacant hole want me to feed it?

    Headers

    Will those stock headers on the newer Ranger 2.3's bolt up to the 2.3 in my 92 mustang? Would it even be worth the effort?

    how reliable is the 2.3?

    My 92 has 170+k on it. Auto tranny. Everything works. Main troubles I have seen revolved around the DIS module or the coils. I replaced my module, coils, plugs & wires when I got it. It runs great. I dont know my exact MPG, but I can fill up with premium and if I drive "normally" I can get...
