    Top Starter Bolt

    What worked for me was a shallow socket with a 6" and a 1" behind that. On mine I was able to guide the bolt into the hole with my fingers and then thread it in carefully with the extension.

    Trans Ideas

    Well after runnin this truck around Ive found that the Ranger OD thats in it is on its way out. Didnt really notice it with the other motor because it was so loud. It needs an overdrive and I like the ability to split gears but I know the motors probly too much for it. I have a 4wd ZF in the 93...

    New guy with some questions

    What voltage do they run at? The way the PO had it wired was two wires comin off the starter solenoid on the fender and splittin up to go to the individual glow plugs so theres not any controller just a button in the cab and thats the same way I wired it. Good news is I got it started today but...

    New guy with some questions

    That may be so but on this truck everythings custom so thats what I found to be the quickest and easiest way to do it. I know it worked before just fine and I didnt have a wiring schematic of the harness to tell me what wire to hook to the ignition and glow plug button. It may not be what you...

    New guy with some questions

    Yes it does have a tach but it would be very difficult to make it work with this year of truck and look factory. Aftermarket may cost more but itll be easier.
