    You think the Big 3 will pay attention?

    its really too bad that ford is dropping the ranger, or at least they say that they are and will consider holding it over if the demand is there. emissions are meetable, consider VW's Two-Rag with the 3.0L 24Valve V6, at 225hp, 405 ft-lbs of torque. that could easily be stuffed into a Ranger...

    Question 4x4 Not working tried lots please help

    your reply is not clear- what do you get to work with a wrench, the hubs or the transfer case motor. that switch would probably be dealer only or somewhere like powerstrokeshop.com. that or a junk yard.

    F350 temporarily decommisioned
