this really isn't related but the fuel filter was also replaced.
One day while driving down the road the truck just quit on me... I didn't lose power the pump just stopped pumping. At first I thought I needed a new fuel pump, but like I said it works fine. I'm apparently short on voltage by 3.5 volts.
Is anybody aware of this problem ever happening and if so what caused it?
You did not take the measurement with the pump running, did you? This might not show total voltage since some would be dropping across the pump when running.
he put his best mechanics on it..they heard NOTHING...oasis compute..told them Nothing...!..after.consulting many more knowleageable mechanics, and specialists..still nothing!...finally my dad rode with me and heard it....I test drove with a local mechanic...and sure enough it bogged down after the "thump" sound in the sand...he replaced the engager motorr..This .only made it worse. Afer that, they completely broke down my transfer case and front differential....he could find nothing wrong there!..PLEASE let me know if you were ever successful in getting this fixed...and especially, what was wrong!,, and how they fixed it!...at this point i would just be happy knowing what has broken!!
I ended up Changing the Plugs & Wires out. That seemed to Help. Lugging Down. I haven`t used the 4x4 Since Winter Time. I did try it in the Spring but I was on a Rough Road. I couldn`t Tell. I will have to Check it Again before Winter. I will let you Know soon if it is OK . Have a Great eve.
no lights light up and does not engage.
Any help would be great need to get this fixed roads are bad here. thank you
It`s been a While since I was here Last... I have an 06 Ranger. It`s winter in Pa. again. So the Ranger is acting up again. I changed the Plug wires. Frequent oil changes. Only use 4 wheel when I Really need it. It seemed to run Fine during summer off Road. But when it`s blowing & drifting snow . It started again this week. Feels like you are hitting Bumps or sticks in the Road when the Road was clear . On a good note it will engage in 4 Hi & 4 L ... We do not have a Garage to work on it at home. My 98 Ranger did not do that. so what Changed during those years . The bugs should be worked out by now. Let me know if you figure it out. Prayerhiker
I have a 2006 Ford Ranger 4x4 . It still feels like it Bucks or hits bumps that are not there. on snow Covered Roads or Dry Roads. That should not be an Issue . Lets say it snows 4" and You pull off and engage the 4Hi and it starts doing that again. When I first bought the truck 2 years ago . Used & Low mileage . It did not do That at all. So what Changed? I only use the 4x4 when I really need it. Some times the Front locks up. If I do not take it out of 4Hi and Use the Emergency Break. Now I just park it in Gear / 2wheel I don`t seem to be getting any answers to this Problem. It runs fine in 2 wheel. It has been very Frustrating to find an answer. PrayerHiker
Let me Know what You Find Out. I had to use my 4x4 this week and it was still bucking or feels like you hit Bumps that are not there. I use the Truck for Work and I need to get there on the snow days. Keep me posted on what you find out. I have an 06 Ranger about 58,000 miles on it. PrayerHiker
I think you are talking about the 'star adjuster' on rear drum brakes for the automatic adjustment? Where you put a tool or screwdriver thru a slot on the back plate and move it up/down? I never know which way to turn these, you just have to pull the drum off and mess with it to see which way tightens the bands (screws the adjuster out). Then remember after you put the drum back on. If this adjuster is 'close', backing the truck up and stopping it multiple times will make this auto adjuster put the bands into adjustment. If it's overly loose, you will not have any rear brakes and it would take forever backing up, so in this case you do have to do a manual adjustment/tighten thru the slot.
