Re: Project: DANGER Ranger!!!
lol, very nice.
So, these rangers come with a sweet trans that tends to leak, in my attempt to fix the leak I have ended day 1 with a ranger in pieces, O'reillys had a rear output shaft seal, but the shaft diameter was way bigger than stock and even the guy at the counter said he thought it would leak, napa didn't list a part, north country ford said one didn't exist anymore, the first person i called and talked to at Apple Valley Ford said it would be tuesday, I called them back a few hours later and they will get me one tomorrow for under $20.
I grabbed some small metal freeze plugs to put in the trans, there are 3 rubber plugs on teh top of the trans right below the shifter that tend to leak, if they are the right size, i'll punch in the new plugs, if they aren't I'll probably RTV the old ones as I have been told that works well, but the metal plugs are the end all fix.
Pics maybe tomorrow, its getting cold out time to fire up whats left of my little torpedo heater.
I talked to the local harley store and they have some 4'x6' boxes about 1" thick they will let me have to lay on my garage floor, guy said it was a neat idea and just said let them know when I get there and I can have what I want.
