Words of wisdom? I don't have a book for the car, my dad just bought it for better mpg, so we haven't got one yet.

hey andrew my 91 supercoupe had a computer under the dash on the drivers side i belive it was. if its loose or has gotten kicked to many times it may be the problem. i just dont know how much the supercoupes and regulars are as they have a whole different electrical system in some places.

About autozone parts..... to me they're sh__, the cheapest ones anyway.

I always have better luck from Napa, and if I can't get it there, then O'Reillys (if it's something common, and not something I get off the internet or broncograveyard).

hey guys update on the diesel ranger idea, well dads not real fond of buy another ranger right now, BUT he brought up that i could use his 98 DD for the swap if i got serious about it, hed rather wait till next summer to do but i think if i can get a good deal on a cummins 4bt hed go for it this summer, any idea where to start looking, looks like it would just be staying 2wd for now so what could i do the the stock 2wd ranger front end to make it beefier to handle the extra weight of the 4bt till i can get the money to sas it? any ideas where to find a 4bt at?

I like summit and jegs for performance parts....but i've always found they were a bit higher for stocker parts...

ok, idiot question, but if you get the rotor without the hub how does that work? you just take it to a shop and get the rotors changed over?

press out the wheel studs and then press out the hub, some are a tight/pressed on fit, some just fall out.....

Depends on what it's on I guess. Never messed with a 60, hows it different from a 44?

I don't know, never replaced rotors before, only time I did I had a complete new hub. So I would need a press to do it myself?
