How about adding in the Aerostar to the Ranger list. From the body down, they are alot alike

1994 RANGER
1997 AEROSTAR

PS The 97 4.0 3.53 LS rear end Electronic OD is possibly the best power train I have ever owned.

The anwser to your question is yes, they share many components. The first
explorers were not much more than a stretched Bronco II. My 89 BII shares
the same front end body components, drivetrain and interior components as
the early explorers(at least the 89-90 models of the BII). I replaced
some interior parts on my BII from a 92 explorer.

Subject: Ranger/Explorer/ Bronco II question

Does the Explorer share the same or similar frame and
mechanics as the Ranger/ Bronco II? Having never been
under the hood of one I don't know. If so, how's this
for a suggestion...

Since the Bronco and Expedition are built off the
"big" truck lines, why now seperate by having a
Ranger/ Bronco II/Explorer list?

I saw someone asking about parts, I found a place on the web that you can
use to locate (ford, chev, and chrysler) parts. It works best if you have
a part number but there is the ability to search by description but this
takes a long time, if I need a part I'll call my local ford dealer and
get a part number then go to www.partsvoice.com, enter the part number
and my area code and it will give me a list of all dealers that show a
stock of that part along with dealer location and phone numbers. I have
used this several times to find parts that my dealer said he could'nt. I
have also found a place out in California that sells parts at cost plus
20%, considering that most dealers sell parts at list price or above this
can mean a considerable savings for example a TPS for my BII is $48.XX
list, I got it for $28.XX from this dealer. A center console armrest to
replace the one in my BII lists for $202.xx, I got it for $155 fro this
same dealer. The dealer is Kearny Mesa ford in san diego, the parts
> number is 1-800-635-6669. I usually order 3 or more items at a time the
savings more than justifies the $8 ups charge to the east coast (SC).

Nope, you're right, they do look like the Ram. I too was disappointed by
the Ram/front end influence in the prototypes I saw back in June. Ford
fans better get used to the ribbing we're going to get from the Dodge crowd
when the F-350 is introduced next year.

One Thing I've had problems with in the past on my 87 6.9 is the ()*! !
Standyne
Water/Fuel Seperator going bad. It essentially starts leaking air into
the inlet line, so my engine would catch run for about 2 seconds then die.
Then
I'd have to crank it for 30 to 35 seconds and let it idle roughly as the air
was bled from the injectors. I've since replaced mine a long time ago
with a military surplus one ($5.00 instead of $200.00).

If the starter is engaging and the engine is cranking, the problem you
describe
sounds like it's coming from the injector pump solenoid switch. If it's
sticking the engine won't get any fuel to start.

Just a thought..

Will a 1985 4WD F150 accept aftermarket wheels originly purchased for a
1979 Jeep CJ-7? Thanks.

Does anybody know what the Purolator product # for Bronco II (2.9) is? If it
helps, that's Fram #PH8A or Motorcraft #FL-1A. I usually use Motorcraft, but
I want to try Purolator.
