Yeah, it's never been done before on that, I took the door panel off and the motor is getting voltage but no worky. I've had Ford's where the little bushings in the gearbox were bad and the motor just whirred, but if it's getting voltage it should be working, neither the drivers door switch worked or the one on that door.
Your regular cab wouldn't happen to have seats in decent shape would it? and drivers door panel? maybe I'll drop by on Saturday if you are around...

Door panels are going into the crew. If my brother in law doesn't take the seat your welcome to it. I'll find out by the weekend so if you want it you can just grab it if he passes.
In any case, have switches and a motor.

When I swing the stroke into mine you need to bring yours over and pop your hood so I can see how everything runs. |

I finally bit the bullet and put new shoes on the Tank, got Goodyear Duratrac's in 315/75/16, I only have about 30 miles on them but so far it's a nicer ride than the bald Toyo's I had on it . Of my 3 vehicles (not including the motorcycle, as it's not that kinda weather) it's my DD right now, I need to start learning about the engine so I can get a few of it's little issues taken care of. I might try to get a couple current pics tomorrow... |

Got a extra charge air cooler laying around, not quite big enough to fit around our rad but maybe it'll fit some where on the ranger. You can have it if your interested.
Been looking into doing the fuel bowl delete on this platform. I've had enough of the factory International filter heads.

Hmm, sounds tempting, I'd be up for that... I just got the Ranger back up and going, was thinking backwards on the alignment and the steering wheel turned the wrong way (IE it's further from center than when I started) but it's drivable again |

Spent a few hours on the tank today, the oil cooler was leaking pretty bad, the O rings were completely hard and brittle but only on the external side so no oil in the coolant. Made a huge mess but it's got fresh oil and the coolant is checked and good to go. Got in a youtube loop and watched a bunch of video's about the 7.3L's and I'll change the top end oil next weekend...

Pretty common with the idi's to leak. That's why I got new oil cooler o-rings and mounting seals on the shelf, was going to re-seal it before swapping it in.

Yeah, $35 for the 4 O rings and the gaskets (only did the oil filter side gasket... other end sounded like work...), now I need to hose the thing off and see what other oil leaks I need to deal with... looked under it last night and the dip stick adapter is leaking a little... it's a mess under there Anyway, I'll leave a pic of the holiday spirited nickname it got last year, finally did something today...  |

Great price if they're quality seals.

Felpro kit from RockAuto, it looks like that was the last of the main leaks, I need to hose the thing off to reassess what's leaking as it's a mess underneath...
