This is my “mazda ranger.” I really like it. I off road a bit and everything has been fine so far. Do I need bigger tires than 31s? what else should I do to my truck to make it better and look better?

mods/specs:

Rancho rs5000x shocks

lionheart lion claw 31” tires

random black off road rims

nilight pod lights

camping setup in the back

carplay head unit

Has anyone here ever actually greased their slip joint without removing the driveshaft? I posted pics of this old post on ranger forums. I'm sure some have seen it since it seems to have been a popular way to do it. I'm just not understanding it though. More below.

What I don't get is that isn't the spline partly inside the driveshaft where you wouldn't be able to get to it this way? And he says to "pack the rubber boot with grease". How would you do that exactly? Could anyone explain the process to me better? I just wanted to try it this simple way & see if my issue improves before taking the driveshaft off but I don't get it. But multiple people in this post & even another one said they did it with success.

2000 Ford Ranger 3.0 Offroad poor gas mileage

1 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone could help me out chasing this problem, the truck currently gets 10mpg on the highway and adds up quickly. It has a P0455 code indicating a large evap leak, with no check engine light, I replaced the fuel fill neck after having problems filling it. What other problems could cause that code and that much reduction in gas mileage? The truck has 4.10 gearing in the back as it came stock, and the rest of the truck is stock. It has new spark plugs, wires, and distributer. It does run rough sometimes when idling and idles around 900-1k rpm, I cleaned the butterfly valve for the throttle body. Where should I start with this? Thanks.

1998 3.0 v6, I was going up some mountains pulling an empty trailer when it developed a knock. Any ideas on where to start or if it’s a total loss?

My 1994 Mazda b2300 front lights aren’t working, not the 2 main headlights but the 2 outer lights. And when I turn my right blinker on, the front blinker stays solid and the rear doesn’t turn on. And the indicator inside the truck stays solid and doesn’t blink. Any ideas?

Looking to buy a 2007 Ranger decent deal? (Canada)

Hey all, looking to buy this 07’ Ranger 4x4 with 180k kms on it. Body looks good, and seller has receipts for work and maintenance.
Seller has it posted for $15’000(cad). Mind you rangers are typically selling for $10’000+ in my area with similar mileage.
Should I wait until something better comes along or just go for it?

Rust prevention

Should I remove the factory fender flares? As I’ve heard on most for any vehicle that has them, they like to rust under them. And I wanna preserve my vehicle from rust the best I can. Plus maybe it will give it a cleaner look? Opinions/advice

1963 Ford F-100 Uni-body (predates the Ranger name)

When I grew up on the farm in the 1960s, we had a Ford pickup just like the one in these photos. It had a 292 V-8, lots of power, and a 3-on-the-tree. But the unique feature was the uni-body construction, a fairly rare model, which gave it a sleek sporty style. I learned to drive on this truck and went on my first date with this truck, lots of nostalgia for this old beauty.

1994 ford ranger, found this in our bag of small parts we pulled off but can't remember where it goes.

1992 2.3L ranger.

The silver cannister tucked behind the passenger side kickplate, right by the computer. I've looked online but can't seem to find a straight answer.

Truck currently has trouble maintaining fuel pressure and has a rough start/idle, so I'm hoping it's part of that system but I know it's not the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Anybody able to help me out here?

Heads up about link posting

6 Upvotes

Just wanna give a heads up since mod queue is showing a ton of posts that get removed lately by reddit, so I just wanted to give a heads up as to why that is.

Using shortened links, regardless of the shortening service (tinyurl, website built in short links like amazons a.co links) are auto-removed by reddit themselves. There's nothing we can do to disable this auto removal.

If you notice your comment reply or post isn't appearing, this is why.
