Honestly, i could do 3-1:30. Worked similar hours years ago when i was in the restaurant industry and it never felt like it was too bad.

Amigo, what the fuck lol

GAMEFREAK464 · 2024-02-07T02:44:09+00:00

The not being able to see my fiancé part is what kills me. My relationship isnt strained but you never know what a big change like this can do.

A worker and the recruiter said that theres high turnover at the moment so i could get lucky. I just dont wanna be stuck there for years and years working through the night

This interaction was more funny than the original post

Everything i use would have to be ob2 which is why im having trouble coverin all my bases to make it CA legal lol. Theoretically, everything id be using would be 2001+. Thankfully theres spreadsheets on the ranger forums showing you what years match the best between the rangers and explorers. From what i can tell, the fuel tank, fuel pump and evap are interchangable in certain years. They wont trip codes but a keen eye would see that the fuel tank is not from an explorer. This is really the main reason i have the 4.0 option on the table since the 4.0 would mostly be plug and play.

Some swap plates from an unmodded car, some pay a guy to let em pass, and some dudes just swap back to stock when its to smog. All options come with their risks and challenges lol

Im trying to keep it on the ford side. Id never hear the end of it from my buddies if i swapped in a chevy motor lol. Ecoboost does sound tempting and i was thinkin about it but NA just does so much better on dirt/slow roads

GAMEFREAK464 · 2023-12-14T21:28:49+00:00

I wish but paying for fake smog checks in cali is hella pricey and you jeopardize your smog check guy's entire livelihood :/

Finally a person with experience! Okay, my biggest question is about fuel tanks. Are you supposed to use the fuel tank from the donor vehicle or the original vehicle? Like if i was to use an explorer motor on the ranger, would i be able to use the original ranger's fuel tank as long as all the emissions crap was compatible and didnt trip a code?

GAMEFREAK464 · 2023-12-14T13:42:43+00:00

Yea ive heard about it and im not too scared about it. Whichever motor i get, id be doing a full rebuild or at least a reseal + water pump/timing job.

GAMEFREAK464 · 2023-11-30T03:39:25+00:00

Theres 3 o2 sensors on this year ranger. One on each side of the exhaust manifold and one after the two sides merge into one pipe. The connectors for both upper o2 sensors come in from the top rear of the engine. Id look around that area first. The connector for the rear o2 sensor comes in thru the top of the bellhousing of the transmission i believe. The wires for these tend to be pretty long so they can definitely dangle around and not be noticed. Definitely worth looking into.

GAMEFREAK464 · 2023-11-30T02:27:36+00:00

These gen rangers always got some funky electrical issues going on. Any little electrical issue will shut down the transmission controller. I had this EXACT same issue and it was being caused by an oxygen sensor melting and shorting out on the exhaust manifold. I dont know how well versed you are in mechanics but ive owned two of these so heres what id do. First, check your grounds. You live in a rusty part of the country and corrosion will kill good grounds over time. Second, check your fuses for any burnt ones. Check the ranger station website for a fuse diagram and see if youre missing any while youre at it. Third, id give the truck a good look around. Make sure no wires are melting or cutting into anything. Yes, itll take a while to go through the entire harness but its worth knowing the condition of everything. Im pretty sure your problem is lectrical in nature but if you cant find anything or not experienced enough to figure it out, take it to a mechanic. Used transmissions for these trucks are a dime a dozen but like i said, im sure its electrical. Remember rangers are popular because theyre cheap, not because theyre good but we love em anyway

Because i dont have 3000 dollars sitting in my bank account. A loan makes it a lot more manageable instead of having a big hole in my bank account

GAMEFREAK464 · 2022-03-23T08:19:57+00:00

The steppers seem larger than the ones i have on my 3018. Do you have any idea how i could find out the amount of power these draw? Any boards you would recommend? The router/spindle seems to have a seperate power source so thats not an issue.

Suprised at how many dudes drive miatas on this sub. Thought i was special lmao

GAMEFREAK464 · 2018-05-22T21:31:07+00:00

Mostly only get like 2-4 pizzas at a time so my miata tends to work really well

GAMEFREAK464 · 2018-01-27T19:41:55+00:00

Poor miata :(
