Should he just junk it or is there hope? LOL
I have a 1987 Ford Ranger 4x4 2.9 liter V6, I just bought it a couple days ago off of a family member and i have noticed that for example when i stop at a stop sign or red light and i go to through it into first gear to go i notice that it kinda like sticks? or catches somewhere? its like when i let the clutch out and hit the gas it is like it the clutch is stuck or something and there is no power to it, this causes it to stall, so i have to shut the truck off and pump the clutch a little bit, start it up and the clutch will be fine this only happends sometimes!.....do i need to replace the clutch? is it a hard job to replace them? and one more question......wouldent ford rangers be easy on gas? because mine is a pig.
when I first purchased the truck from Towne Ford in Orchard Park, NY, there was a very small leak in the top left side of the windsheild. The rubber seal on the outside does not appear to be damaged.
We had about 4.5 inches of rain fall in 12 hours. As a result, there was water all over the top of the dash board, the floor was very wet, the top liner was wet on the entire passenger side.
Has anyone had a similar prolem? I have owned a previous 1994 Ranger and had no problems with it.
What might be the best way to fix the problem? Should I have a sealant applied to the inside of this area of the windshield? or just have it replaced?
The numbers 3 and 4 plugs are hidden behind the manifold and, unless I break all my fingers so they bend backwards, I can't seem to get to them. I tried long nose and crescent pliers, but cannot get the leverage I need to pull the wires. I have the swivel plug socket already.
Are there suggestions on how to make project this easier?
This thing has little power on the highway at 60+mph, I've installed a free flow exhaust with 2 new cats and modified the air intake system.
When I bought it 6 months it had (just installed) a new computer, 2 new fuel pumps, O2 sensor and battery. The engine runs great, just not much power.
For you guy's that hate the stiff ride (like me) call "Coil Spring Specialties" at 785-437-2025 (as I did) and order a pair of their front springs at 20% less spring rate than factory, ($99.00 + shipping) the difference is like night & day! My truck rides GREAT now.

Symtoms runs rough at 40 -70 MPH like a hesitation it also hesitats on take off.
I have a 2001 xlt, have the same problem with the door ajar light and the dome light staying on, it has even killed my battery a time or two. Is your truck
standard cab or 4 dr ext cab? mine is 4dr. the problem is in the sensors in back
doors, did you bleed the sytem when you did your brakes? if not, try that and
check your reservoir(brake fluid). sorry, cant help with the shifting problem, have
not heard that one yet! I know mine is very hard to shift from park when parked on
a hill, but otherwise ok. good luck!
Good luck
Thanks,

I have a 2000 Ranger 3.0 V6.
I went thru the same thing that you did.
I replaced the serpentine belt with one from a large auto parts store as well as the idler pulley.
A knowing mechanic advised me that it was the serpentine belt. (although new) he advised me that it was a 'cheap' belt that was causing the problem.
I replaced it with a more expensive belt (Large Brand Name)
Result, no more squeel or weird noises.
PS the "big' parts store did refund my money.
Hope this helps - good luck
