The older ones were a thin sidewall, and would often split when air down for off-roading. The new one's are stronger, and should be available in a month or so. I know they weren't one of you choices, but... Also, the BFG AT's are good tires, but the tread does not clean out mud very well. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 21:53:58 +0100 From: "Jason Talbot" Subject: FTE Small - BII Headers Well, if you are looking for performance headers, then you only have 2 choices. If you have 2 wheel drive, then you can get a set from Pacesetter. The fit may vary. They go for around $250. If you have a 4X4, then your only choice is a set from JBA. They are expensive. Around $450. They have a lifetime warrenty, are great quality, and will last a long time. No leaks, or cracking. Now, If you want just replacement ones. That are OEM, and have no performace gains, and will not last a while, then you can get a set from a junk yard. They will run around $50 for a pair. You can then take them to a machine shop, and have them reworked, and even painted. You might be able to find a machine shop that will built you a set, or modify a set for use on your truck. But, that's all you can do about headers. Just no one cares about the older Ranger/Bronco II's. Good luck! I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get headers for my '88 BII. Price is a huge concern, but so is performance... Thanks!

What I have found from Meyer is that they only have plows for Bronco II and Rangers up to 1989. I asked them what was different on the 1990 but they have no idea. They replied "Ford recommends no plow for the 1990 and newer Rangers and we support the manufacturers recommendation and therefore make no plows for these trucks." I am curious what the diferences might be. Any information would be appreciated.

Right now the gas is about 1/4 full but the gauge drops to empty anyways. But, if i dont turn the radio on before i start the truck i cant use it because the fuel low light comes on my console. And the wipers wont work either. But, if i turn the radio on before starting, the guage goes up to half and the radio and wipers work even though there not a half tank. I dont understand why it does this. any ideas? Tom Kirkbride ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

I went directly to their shop to have their headers and exhaust installed. I could sense that they viewed me as more of a nuissance than anything else... yeah, me, with my Ranger. They don't seem to respect customers unless the customer drives a super hopped-up Mustang or Cobra. I got jerked around by them enough that I will never go back to them nor will I refer any of my friends to them.

One was I had a spark knock if I used any fuel below 93 octane. The second was a problem that a lot of you guys are having and that is the drive train would clunk when switching from forward to reverse or when you accelerate. Well I like to report another dealer has figured out both problems. The spark knock was caused by the computer being programmed wrong at the factory. It took sever days and the manufacture dialed into the trucks computer to figure this one out. The dealer has to reprogram the computer with the correct spark curves and thresholds. The second is a flange that was manufactured to thin that is in the transfer case. There is no TSBs on this nor is it something all dealers know about. Once I get the truck back (the flange is on backorder) I will post the part number and any other info about this. I did ride in the mechanics truck after he did the switch and the cluck does go away. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 20:29:05 -0400 From: "David A.

I just ordered a system for my 97 V8 EB Explorer, 2 inlet single outlet muffler (2.5" in's, 3" out) and the muffler, complete with flange to bolt to the stock cat flange, and hangers in place... $135.00 and the local Muffler shop here is making a single 3" tailpipe for $75.00 installed. The muffler is a straight through design like the Walker Dynomax UltraFlow, so it has virtually zero backpressure. I've heard them on Mustangs and other V8 cars, so I know they sound good and also know they don't "Drone" on the highway like Flowmasters and other cheap brands of turbo mufflers.
