    Transmission question for the Ranger crowd.

    I have my 3.0 v6 from my wrecked Taurus that will be powering my CJ-2A. I know this block is the same as a Ranger 3.0, so I am wondering what would be the best little manual transmission and transfer case that I could mate up to my engine. Emphasis on little, specifically the length.It...

    Rear axle trailing arms

    I am going to replace mine, and am trying to choose between OEM, and aftermarket. What do you guys think? The factory ones are known to rust out, even in non salt areas, something to do with the factory paint trapping moisture.I can get OEM at $160 for a complete set:I can get aftermarket...

    Please keep your eyes open...

    The truck market is stupidly ridiculous in my area, so I have been looking around the country for what I want, as prices are extremely lower once you get out of ND.Can you guys keep an eye open for an 85-86 F350 Crew Cab 4x4? I don't care what engine or transmission it has in it, as long as it...

    L600 that goes, but won't stop going.

    This truck has a 391FT, that has what I am told, air assist brakes.There are no brake fluid leaks, and the master cylinder is full. Where do I start looking to find out why I have no brakes.

    The REAL new car.

    OK, the Prius is Sarahs grandmas car. Its not ours. :D She travels all over the country, so I can see why an average of 49 MPG for her is a good thing. She gave me a ride in it, though. ;)Here is the real new car. smilieFordlogoIgnore the horrid plastic wheel covers.I know it isn't a...

    5.4 cranking time

    The 5.4 in our Expedition seems like it cranks longer than it should before it fires up. It has been like this since we got it, nothing has changed.Just wanted to check with other 5.4 people and see if something is up.Sent from my modded Galaxy.

    Fogging up the windows...

    My 97 Taurus has been fogging up, it seems as if it is not getting fresh air circulated. If I crack a window it helps, but it is below zero here. :D Where should I start?

    Power converter?

    Hopefully this isnt too dumb of a question, as I am very uneducated when it comes to electrical wizardry.Is there some kind of converter that will convert AC (120 or 240) to DC capable of 12-36 volts and high amperage?
