This is a preemptive strike, please explain how a new sensor will create a problem. Thanks

2008 3L 2wd Ranger 111,000 mi. I've ordered the cam shaft sensor from Ford. Before the monsoons hit the northwest, I'm thinking I'll replace a few more also. Here's the list so far ICV, MAP, engine coolant temp (2 ea), Oil pressure. Any thing else? Thanks Pat

Did it again, mine is the 3L two hole, but looks nothing like that. Thats what I was wondering if it's right before I get it. Thanks for some reason I can't get it through my head this truck is 3L.

I got the check engine light, parts house found 0340 code cam sensor. My question is the part recommended doesn't look like the original, which is 2 eared but narrow. Replacement is round disk w/2 holes. Is this going to work? I've looked up others, there are a variety of one and 2 hole...

I found a way to identify the service kit on the box is listed a fram filter number FT1115A Fram site is FT1115B, but that is the 2WD filter. Must be mislabeled on the box.4WD kit has fram # 1087 A on the box.

Thanks Bill You'd think when I told him 2WD that would have separated the part numbers. I'm still no fan of computers.

When I went to get a service kit, the guy asked if it had a sump tube. We couldn't find any way to determine. I ended up with two kits and will return one. I'll know when I get the pan off, but how to tell before hand? Thanks Pat

Thanks guys, good reason to do my own brake jobs. I should have asked to look at the parts. It's a daily driver. Pat

Just had the front brakes done 2nd time,84,000 mi. Inside pasenger side pad wore thru to metal. Suspect bad caliper. Other shoes normal wear. Help Pat

I've got an 08 ranger w/70,000mi. Where do I find recalls? I don't like the idea of putting my vin on the world wide web.

Starts right up, idles fine, runs good. I don't know where the cam sensor is located. It's like the light came on to see if I was paying attention. Pat

Last week I got a check engine warning, on my 08 2wldr,3.0 six w/67,000 mi. Oil and coolant were fine, changed air filter, still on. Had the parts house use their code thing. It came up PO340 cam shaft sensor A circuit or bank one something sensor. Later that day and today there is no check...

Thanks, it's in the base, it has a +/_ switch. And a manual lever which is all I need.

my new $40 seats.

I bought a front seat at a junk yard today. I think it was a 93 Econoline. This seat has some kind of powered motor. What is it for? Thanks for any help. couldn't find anything in wikipedia. couldn't up load file too big http://www.fordtruckfanatics.com/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_5024.JPG

What's the popping in this video, is it too lean from lack of back pressure? j9OviQAz0GE

Searched a bit here, some of the vids are private? Any way I've heard good sounds coming from straight sixes. Anyone tried glass or steel packs on the 3.0? I don't want flowmasters or mags. Thanks Pat

My 08 Ranger has 56,000 mi on it. 3.0 automatic. The state has started me on emissions test. Passed with flying colors. I see it's got two converters, that could be an expensive repair. How many miles before these tests start picking up problems? Thanks Pat

WAHOO It was the WOT relay, $15.95 at the dealer. I'd like to thank Charlie, he saved me my $100 deductible on my extended warranty, being retired thats a lot. Now I'm a little more familiar with this system, another question. I watched a vid on how to test high and low vacuum, but don't see...

:wasntme: well I did find the diagram on the relays the two small one checked out differently when I switched them the truck wouldn't start. I'm headed to Ford for a relay tomorrow. Thanks-I'll let you know.

tried it twice, that didn't start the compressor.

it wont come on at any setting. I was going to jumper it, but both poles are open to ground.

Thanks again dusty the multimeter said 97 millivolts. When I plugged it back in the idle went up but the clutch never came on. Pat

Thanks yesterday it seemed to run normal, about 1/2 hour. I'm not sure what the expansion tank looks like, the chiltons doesn't point it out. By checking, do you mean look for corrosion, or for continuity.The plug on the low pressure switch looks OK, is that a place for some dielectric grease?

Right now the compressor isn't running at all. It does spin by hand. I tried to find the ground lug on it but both posts read open to batt. neg. thanks Pat

The thing went out again this morning. I read through my Chiltons manual, and searched threads here. Tested the fuses in the passenger , and engine compartments. Pulled the WOT relay, it doesn't have a wiring diagram, like the old ones, does anyone have a diagram how it's wired? This being...

Here's a new twist on it. This afternoon after sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, it came on and stayed on. I flipped it to AC and Max AC and it still stayed on, like normal. Even shut the truck off once, and it came back. ??????? Is it sleepy from a long winter, I was told these are supposed...

I've got an 08 ranger with 56000 mi. Twice now the air conditioner came on for an instant, then nothing, just cabin temp air. I had the blend door replaced at 36, 000 mi. I wouldn't think it would be that. acts like a bad relay or maybe a bad temp sensor. If so where do i look? Thanks for any...
