    Need AC hose - found my leak!

    you are correct. ordered one at Pep Boys today and it should be here in a few business days. $35! Sweet! Got the R134a from Big Lots for $5 a can too lol. Dealer wanted $117. Ouch. At least I got my air deflector from the dealer for cheap. So it balances it out.

    Need AC hose - found my leak!

    Well I found my AC R134a leak. I bought some Walmart R134a with the dye in it and added it to the system. I then saw some smoke coming off of the passenger side after it ran a bit with the compressor cycling. Well, I look around a bit and saw green puking out all over the ground. At first I...

    Stock backspacing specs

    Found it. Apparently I will be going with a 6 inch backspacing (+26mm offset) on my rears ( 17 x 9s ) and a 5.5 inch backspacing ( +32mm ) up front ( 17 x 7.5 ). Just posted for future reference :)

    Stock backspacing specs

    Well I tried to find them, and I USED to have them written down but I am stupid and lost the specs. I am gonna put different wheels on my car and they are gonna be 17x7.5s and 17x9s in the back. For the back I already know that they should be a 6" backspacing so I am ok with that. Its...

    How-To: Tint Your Tail Lights (spray tint)

    I did a similar thread on the Ranger forum I am on. I used real automotive paint though, as work gives me access to it. :D Tinted my tails (picture thread) - Ford Ranger Forum - The Ultimate Ford Ranger Resource

    My odometer died

    Wait, I found the awesome How To on the site. I guess the search feature works better if I narrow down the forums a bit first.

    My odometer died

    Yeah I noticed my trip odometer hadn't moved after taking the car out last night. Then I noticed neither did the regular odometer. Doh! Can they be repaired or is this just best left to swapping out the cluster for one that works? Everything else on the cluster works, just not the odometer...

    swapping 99+ seat tracks and console

    How big of a pain is it to do either? My mom has an 02 V6, and every time I drive her car I really like that the seat can go back further than my 94. I also like that she has the two cupholders and the nicer boot on the E-Brake. Is it a big PITA to swap both over? Or is it a bolt in deal?

    Active temp gauge

    Thanks, I will try that. A friend of mine has a Snap-On scanner that does live readings of all sorts of sensors. I was coming home today when I decided to floor it getting on the freeway. When I first got going, I was right at the R on the gauge. After I got off of the gas (floored it through...

    Active temp gauge

    I was driving the 94 today and it dawned on me that the temp gauge on this car is really, really active. I am used to my Ranger and my Mom's 02 Mustang where once the car is warm, the gauge really doesn't move at all. The 94 however will read anywhere from the O in Normal, to the M. I noticed...

    Can't remove front bumper cover?

    The center of the 3 fingers for the headlight panel is where it is catching. Mine did the same thing. I tried to pull if off with brute force too, but it did not want to come out. I eventually pulled the headlight panel and the bumper cover off as a unit and proceeded to fenagle it off - i...

    Want to install a stock stereo

    The sound just seems to lack clarity, bass and definition really. It sounds... "cheap". hard to describe sound in words lol. The car is not a Mach 460 car though. I don't have the little triangle speakers nor do I have the fiberglass box under the rear deck. Ill have to pull the head unit and...

    Want to install a stock stereo

    It actually has some aftermarket speakers in it and it still sounds like poo. Well, at least the rear shelf has aftermarket ones. I didn't pay attention when I last had the door panels off. So the head units would be the same if it had the base stereo or the "premium sound" setup? From what...

    Want to install a stock stereo

    My car has a Pioneer CD player in it that I really don't care for. It doesn't sound that great for one and its asking for someone to break in and steal it in my 'hood'. My Ranger stocker stereo sounds TONS better, and the Mach460 stereo in my Mom's 02 Mustang of course sounds better still. So in...
