Are you looking for a 2010 Ford Ranger?
Q: What good exhaust company makes dual mufflers for a 2003 Ford Ranger?
I got a 2003 ford ranger and i wanna make it dual exhaust but most exhaust systems i find for my truck are only one exhaust. I looked and i only got one muffler. I want to know what company makes one for mine or how do i make it a dual?
A: The closest you’ll get to dual exhaust is dual tips at the rear merging from where the main exhaust pipe runs under the truck on the passenger side. You won’t have a true dual due to the fuel tank being on the inside of the chassis rail. I also have a 2003 Ranger. It’s a 3.0L RWD Edge model. I’d prefer not to make it true dual because these trucks are not fast to begin with (not even a 4.0L) and after a few hundred dollars worth of exhaust mods it still won’t be worth it ( dollar to power gain ratio ). I worked on real dragstrip musclecars and I would only bother with the dual exhaust if the engine saw a significant gain with just dual exhaust alone. These trucks won’t see that. Putting dual exhaust just for looks also screams “poser” (i.e. wanna be fast, but aren’t) to the keen eye.
Q: How do I locate my drain plug on a 2007 ford ranger?
I drive a auto ford ranger and i need to find the drain plug. If you can show image will be a plus.
A: From under the car, about the middle ares, there will be large (about 1 foot by 1 foot) pan with a bolt stuck to it. That is the OIL PAN and the drain plug.
Just make sure that when you put the drain plug back on, don’t over tighten it. It really doesn’t hold anything besides the oil.
Here’s a picture of oil pan and drain plug (not the ford ranger).

Q: How much can a Ford Ranger carry in the bed?
How much weight is a new standard (XLT) Ford Ranger certified to carry in the bed? How much weight is it certified to tow, with the appropriate hitch?
A: Rangers are half ton trucks, so 1000 pounds.
You can add air bags and increase the weight another 500 pounds.
for towing, if you get a class 3 hitch, you can tow probably 10,000 pounds, but I wouldn’t recommend that much unless its an easy drive. the excess weight isn’t the issue as much as the truck sliding back & forth.
Rangers are tough trucks, it can handle whatever you throw at it.
But if you’re looking for more hauling & towing, you should’ve gotten an F-150 or even F-250
Q: How do I measure the size of my speakers in my ford ranger? And also how to know what wattage to buy?
I want to buy 4 new speakers for my ‘97 ford ranger to get better sound quality, but i don’t know how to measure them to look for new ones. And my stereo system says 50×4 watts….what does this mean?
A: 50 x 4 is a max value for each speaker
the realistic amount of power going to those is more like 20 watts.
you would want to find some speakers with low RMS values(under 50 or so),
and there are many sites to find your speaker sizes.
from crutchfield:
1997 Ford Ranger Pickup
with AM/FM/Cassette deck; with AUTO SET button on factory radio
* Aftermarket Stereo Installed [change]
Factory replacement info:
In-dash stereo
7-1/2″ depth; Size code E,S,U ; Non-standard dash opening (special integration package required)
Front speakers
Front Door: 6×8″
Far rear speakers
Behind Seat: 6×8″
So you need 6×8s or 5×7s
(normally the same thing, or very close to it)
Assuming I set up your truck right.
here’s the link to the thing I used:

Q: I have a 2000 ford ranger pick up. How hard is it to put that engine in a 2001 Pontiac sunfire?
The ford ranger is a 5 speed and was totaled in a wreck. The pontiac is automatic. I want to use the transmission and motor from the truck and put it in the sunfire.
A: Don’t listen to those people, they’re clueless. It’ll take a weekend but you can do it. You can use high strength epoxy (JB weld works best), to essentially glue the new motor in (it’s good stuff, no need for bolts here!).
Then you’ll need a drill and some zip ties to hold the rear end in place. I recommend using the drive shaft out of the ranger but you can use a length of PVC pipe too. Good luck!
Q: What is a better transmission to have in a Ford Ranger?
I have been looking for a Ford Ranger for a while and I was wondering if it would be better for me to have an automatic transmission or manual transmission?
I am planning on towing a small trailer and hauling some stuff so it would be like my work truck but also my daily driver
I know how to drive a manual transmission and would like one but I don’t know which transmission would be better for what i want to do
and the Ranger will be a 1999-2003
thx in advance
A: well im a fan of the manual, but either would work just fine for you just dont tow in overdrive

Q: What would cause an 89 Ford Ranger v6 2wd with an A4LD automatic transmission to slip?
What would cause an 89 Ford Ranger v6 2wd with an A4LD automatic transmission to slip slightly from 1st to 2nd, then more rough from 2nd to 3rd? We did a fluid and filter change and changed the modulator valve. It slipped before we did work on it but it doesnt do it as bad now. PLEASE HELP!!!!
There is only 80,000 miles on this transmission
A: You need a transmission service. Sounds like they hydraulics are gummed up.
Q: How to you fix a Ford Ranger bumper that has fallen off by yourself? WIthout taking it to a auto shop?
Its a year ‘98 ford ranger and the bumper fell off..I don’t have money to spend on a repair. I just have to do it by myself…How do you fix it?
A: You should beg, borrow or steal a socket wrench! The large bolts are difficult to get to access with a cresent wrench. U need a good hammer With a little UMPH! to bend back the dog ears (Sliding Parts) and then a block of wood to beat the thing back into place. A little penetrating oil will help everywhere! Get rags to clean every oily thing up. lot of oil with steel work is usually a good thing.. I believe starting in 97 everything has an air bag. I’m not sure where the sensors that detect shock (Impacts) I was told at school these are located right on the bumper (behind it) so look for loose wire!!! When you find them make sure to talk to a pro about putting them back together. Good Luck Ill pray for you
Q: What would cause a 88 ford ranger to stall?
So what could be the causes of a 88′ ford ranger to stall? Its got new fuel pump, oil pump, distributor module. 20 minutes later it’s back in action though. Do you think it could be a heating core or radiator problem?
A: not sure what climate you are in but it could the cold start valve or a vaccum leak. Did you replace the fuel filter when you did the pump?
Q: My 97 Ford Ranger has horrible suspension, is there a cheap “do it yourself” way to improve it?
I drive a 1997 Ford Ranger Splash, the suspension sucks and I want to improve it. I am just a poor high-school student so the budget is tight, is there a cheap way to improve the suspension at all?
A: you won,t find it cheap unless you get the part from the junk yard.
Q: Where can I find a transmission for my 1993 ford ranger?
I am looking for a transmission for my 93 ford ranger. It is a manual trans. 5 speed. I was told there were a couple of different types of transmissions for this model and am not sure which one is right for my truck. If anyone knows someone who is selling one or knows how to get one please let me know. Thank you.
A: Generally the 150 systems work for a ranger. The mechanic
needs to know the torque you use. The readjustment of the
oil decks will show whether the model is very close. There
are silverados that will fit some wont. so on. Used should not
be too far away. Also to use one used keep the gearbox
cool for a month, a whole month, the torque or engine, maybe
the universal can be nockin for a while. Keep loads down to
no supersize, no fries.
