Hi Stephen, It has been awhile since I did a 2.9, but the thing that sticks in my mind is to have a well stocked tool box. The fasteners are metric, so make sure you have plenty of end wrenches and sockets. You will also need a selection of extensions, swivels, some deep sockets, and a torque wrench. The head bolts on the one I did were T-55 (I think) torx. You will need a GOOD 1/2" drive torx bit and a long breaker or cheater bar. Get a Snap-on or Mac, I don't sell tools, but a cheap bit will break when you torque the heads down. Ask me how I know. The proper torque on the head bolts is real tight and some more! Check your Chilton's. Starting this job without the proper tools will just lead to frustration, ruined fasteners, and a bad or incomplete job. Allow yourself plenty of time, have plenty of light, be out of the weather, and work clean. Good luck.

Bob Leifer Please respond to small-list ford-trucks.com To: small-list ford-trucks.com cc: (bcc: William R. Hickey/USA/BAC) Subject: [small-list] Ranger mileage Hi folks, I just replace my '97 Ranger standard cab 4x2 3.0 liter with short bed truck (was leased), with a 2000 Ranger 4X4 extended cab 4 door 4.0 liter with the off road package and 4.10 L/S rear (also leased). On the '97, I got only 14.5 mpg around town; sometimes up to 15 mpg, sometimes worse. My driving habits seem normal to me, but others in this group had told me they had done somewhat better. Now with this new truck, I would like to know what other members of this group average with a similar setup. I expect it to be worse than the '97 I had, but how much? I love the truck in every way; it's looks (Toreador Red), and the way it handles, plus the increase in power.

Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 14:35:05 -0400 From: "Bryce Beyler" <4xFord bigfoot.com>I was looking over the Advance Adapters page on the Bronco II/Ranger swap stuff (http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.advanceadapters.com/BUYERSGUIDE/broran.html) and they mentioned that up until 1985, a 6.75 inch Ford Axle was used in the rear of Bronco II and Rangers. Anyone Know anyvalidity to this?? I've never even heard of a 6.75 inch Ford axle. Anyone know what one would look like? Would it have been used in my '84 Bronco II?? I was sure I had a 7.5 with 3.73 open.
