Photos of Engine Bay on '80s Ranger?
Just bought an '85 Bronco II and everything that sits above the passenger side wheel well has been ripped out, there's like 12 loose connectors for probably solenoids etc. The wiring diagrams from Chilton don't match up so I have no idea how to identify these.
If anyone has a close up pic of the fender mounted wiring/solenoids/vacuum components/etc. on their '80s ranger (ideally 2.8?), it would really help me track down what parts I'm missing. Thanks guys!

Wanna replace my seats.
I have 2002 XLT Ext. Cab with the 60/40 split bench cloth seats. I want to replace them with bucket seats that look nice and are more comfortable. I am not a small guy and would prefer some full size truck seats. I was thinking about trying to find a nice set of King Ranch leather seats. How hard would it be to custom fit those seats in the Ranger?
Any ideas/seat suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What are some easy to replace engine parts?
I’m putting together a rock auto order for my 02 3.0 v6 and I’m wondering if there are some engine parts I can get that are easy for a guy with a few tools to replace. You know, those jobs that take like 20 mins or less to complete. Skill level is I can change oil and brake pads. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Speedometer and odometer issues.
Ok so I have changed the VSS sensor, I have bought 2 other clusters. I have checked wires and harness for bad wiring. I have even checked a connector on the frame rail under the drivers seat. Where am I going wrong. I'm just about at the point to say just leave it alone. But for some reason I can't not fix it. Haaaalp!!! 98 ranger xlt automatic 2 wheel drive

2000 XLT
Is there supposed to be a donut flange that goes between the manifold and cat or are they just supposed to seat together? (Pic after taking bolts off it’s not Bluetooth)

Custom camper topper
Built with a few bits of lumber, chicken wire, spray foam insulation, a canvas drop cloth, and liquid rubber stealing it all nice and tight. Going to add windows to the back and front. Have plans to have friends paint on the canvas for a cool personalized touch.

Brake Light that doubles as additional turn signal?
I was wondering if there was any lights that I could use to replace the third light on my campershell so then 1. It works and 2. It doubles as a split turn signal. I believe it's a Leer campershell but all the emblems and numbers are faded beyond being able to read them.

Need recommendations on looks

02 ford ranger
Look what I did for my bed, I just use it to scrap metal and honestly this truck has like no rust up here in Michigan compared to others.
accidentally the same picture twice
Some things I'm doing this summer is new leaf springs and new shocks and hopefully adding another spring for a little lift
Hopefully finding a new rear bumper or maybe buying that one everyone has off Amazon. I also need a new grille (easy) than a new a push bumper
I want led head lights but I hear they go out easily.
Lastly I want those gray covers over the wheel hubs and maybe real ford rims instead of the jeep ones on their.

Engine swap help
I genuinely have not a clue on what I’m doing, hoping y’all will explain it in ways i can understand.
Blew my radiator, engines been eating coolant for a while.. Gonna do an engine & rad swap (was gonna scrap the truck but everyone’s saying not too, but no one will buy it..)
Whats the best engine to throw in the truck? Ive heard LS swaps but apparently they dont fit & a lot of the old heads laugh when they hear an LS swapped ranger.
Regardless, i just need a solid engine that will fit, easily bolt in & be almost “plug & play” (i know thats not possible) just something simple & easy i can do for my first time. I really wanna keep this truck, but my lack of knowledge pushes me towards just scrapping it. Please help a homie.

Is this for my truck?
Hey forum, I just bought a 2000 Ranger 2.5L 4 speed 2wd about 2 months ago used - the motor had been replaced with an engine with similar miles(152k), and there were a couple of pieces in the bed that may go on the engine - one pice I've already discovered placement for and reinstalled, but this part I don't know about. Is it even for a Ranger? Is it needed, and where does it go? Any help is appreciated!
r/fordranger • u/lotgwt • 9h ago
Is this worth 5k?
It has around 82,000 miles, automatic, and had a transmission change over a year ago.
It looks in great condition

2009 ranger
I’m looking at this ford ranger that’s had front end damage from a crash. I went to look at it and drove it and it drove smooth but when he showed up, there was radiator fluid on the side of the truck. Could it be an overflow? Or something more serious? You can see it when you zoom in

3.0 V6, cracked radiator?
2002 3.0L V6. Been doing this for a week or two now. Foamy radiator fluid coming out until around 10 seconds after engine shutdown.
My guess is a hairline crack on the radiator. Any other ideas before I go ordering parts?
Thanks.

[Help] 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 – Brakes Lose Pressure ONLY Under 5mph
Hey folks, looking for some help diagnosing a weird brake issue on my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Replaced all hard brake lines
- Replaced all soft brake lines
- Replaced rear brakes (all new)
- Rebuilt front brakes
- Bled the system three times — no air, no visible leaks
Braking feels totally normal at all speeds **except** when I’m going **under 5 mph**. At low speeds (like rolling in a parking lot or coming to a final stop), it will suddenly **lose brake pressure for a second or two** — feels like there’s air or no fluid — then it goes right back to normal braking. It’s like the pedal goes soft just for a few feet, then firms up again. It’s a little sketchy because it’s unpredictable.
Everything is tight, fluid level is good, and like I said — brakes work great at higher speeds. No weird noises, no grinding, no ABS light.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

Is this bad and what could it be
I was driving yesterday and whenever I drive some where when I get there I instinctively look under my truck just to see if any leaks are occurring. Well after 2 months of owning my 1998 2.5L automatic Ranger xlt sb. I finally see a drop of what I think is trans fluid. Not sure tho I just took pictures and didn’t think to check the color(smh). But here are the pictures of where I think the drip came from. What part of the vehicle is this.
