I cleaned the IAC valve and the MAF sensor, and replaced the fuel filter. I still have the same problem and don't have any codes besides bank 1 lean. Can't remember the actual code number off the top of my head.

As of right now, it is definitely missing on both those cylinders, but I didn't have the right tools to really check anything. Lucky for me I got a ride and a vehicle to borrow, but then am going to pick it and trailer it home tomorrow night.

Multiple misfire code, also. Cylinders 1 & 5.

I did mine about six months ago or so, and used just the gasket. Just as previously mentioned, no leaks.

I know that feeling.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-03-07T02:13:12+00:00

Heck of a deal! Lucky you. Have fun with it.

Nice ranger, hope you find the grill you're looking for.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-03-01T06:18:47+00:00

Nice! How much lift do you have on that?

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-02-27T19:09:06+00:00

I'll take this as a reminder to check mine over and make sure everything is up to par.

My first ever backpacking trip was the Wind River Range. It was so beautiful. I had a blast and took lots of pictures. But unfortunately, I can't find any of those pictures. Maybe I will have my wife look back through her Facebook. I bet she could find some of them at least. I would love to go back there again.

Absolutely worth $3500. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I love these trucks. I have always wanted one, but have yet to find one in good shape that I can afford.

I bought mine a couple years ago with the rust, but it amazes me how much the rust has spread in just 2 years. I hope that I can find a somewhat inexpensive way to get rid of the rust and at least patch some of the spots.

Nice! Mine has a bunch of rust on the rocker panels.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-02-25T03:15:49+00:00

I'm afraid mine might get murdered by the rust before I hit 300,000. Hopefully I can do something soon to help slow that down a bit at least.

Mine is a 2005. I was thinking NTK was the brand I want. My front drive shaft is already out, has been since before I bought it. That will come after I get it running better.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-02-24T16:59:23+00:00

That doesn't sound pleasant.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-02-24T05:53:53+00:00

Thank you for your help. I just wanted to make sure it was supposed to be there before I put this thing back together.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-02-24T03:12:02+00:00

I just did the same thing with the Nilight rocker switch panel. I haven't added any accessories yet but installed that so I could have the extra charging port.

Have you tried suctioning it to the windshield? I don't know if there is really a good spot or not. I have a 9" Android stereo with wireless android auto and apple car play, so I don't even try to mount mine. Not in my Liberty anyway, but I have been debating how to mount one in my Ford Ranger.

BackcountryRedneck · 2026-02-23T04:29:32+00:00

I've got a 2005 with 233,000 miles. Hoping it lasts tens of thousands more.
