I have a 2002 Ford Ranger auto 4WD, and it doesn't go into 4WD. I have the service manuals and I'm running through the diagnostics.

Help! Ranger is making funny noises

My 2002 Ford Ranger started making this noise. It only does it after the engine is warmed up. The alternator is new, replaced it because I thought it was the culprit. It sounds like it's coming...

Is there a reason an electric choke conversion costs $50? Scarcity of parts?

Quadrajet rebuild kit?

Is there one that's better than any others? I remember Lars recommended the Napa rebuild kit. I'm pretty much starting with an Ebay quadrajet that's been in storage that I want to try to rebuild. ...

I'll check the flexplate in detail as I pull things apart. As far as starters, I'd like to go with a mini high torque starter to get a little more clearance from the header. Most are inline mounting,...

Still no clue on where the noise is coming from :(
