Stock Intake that is seen In the pic connected to the cone filter? Pretty sure I have one

Well I feel kinda dumb, I’m 98% sure it was the maf sensor. Stock oem one that’s like 35 years old shit out. After checking pretty much everything, I bought a cheap duralast maf from vatozone just to see if that would do anything. Nothing. Me and my dad started checking for vacuum leaks, shot...

Get a flat and a workout in at the same time, hell yea. Cool idea haha the weight for sure helps, good solution for if you still have a spare in the bed opposed to putting a thick piece of chromoly in a back half

Can’t remember if you have an actual temp gauge or if you’re using the factory one. Do you know what temps you’re looking at? Mine with a CBR that’s like 31x16/as wide as the damn chassis and has dual spals is running like 190. Which is about the regular temp range depending on thermostat...

Back on this. Cleaned the IAC valve with no luck. The truck will not run with the IAC plug unplugged so I don’t think it’s that. It runs exactly the same as it does already with the maf sensor plugged or unplugged, there’s no difference. From a cold start, it takes a few minutes for the problem...

Clean

External. I know it’s better to have it internal or at least have a lift pump

Awesome thanks guys I’ll check that stuff out too. Not yet, I plan to check. Trucks got a Bosch 044 style fluid flow pump

Well I finally had a bug pop up. I decided to teach my 16 year old nephew how to drive manual in it, he did great and was cruising within 20 minutes. The 10ish times he stalled it, everytime we’d go to start back up it wouldn’t fire up/crank like normal right away. I’m wondering if this was...

Always liked this ranger. Quick google search showed a guy selling it in Vegas in 2013 for $24k obo https://www.pirate4x4.com/threads/fully-built-1997-ford-ranger-prerunner.1356985/

Yea they’re tough to find around SD, and if they are for sale it’s some dude asking way too much haha

Bumping this Hoping to start on some Fiberglass work here soon. Front corner of fenders that meets the hood, old fiberglass mounting holes, etc. Big one is adding structure next to the tail lights on the inside where the tailgate use to slide… thinking a piece of thin aluminum as the base and...

I salute your efforts on this. Bahaha

For me at least, AJ specifically said do not use the pro gear 250, use the mineral based 250. But I’m sure anything 250 will be perfectly fine

I’ll try and do some bleeding again. I haven’t done it since it was first put in, so maybe it needs a second bleeding session after a few months of driving. Any tips on bleeding?
