1994 Ford Ranger XLT 2.3?
I had to replace the timing belt because the old one broke. I locked the tensioner to the loose position during dismantling. I put the new belt on and can't get enough tension on it to make it seat into the camshaft pulley so every time I rotate the crankshaft pulley it slips time. Is there a way to force the tensioner back over? There's nothing to pry on to get it back over so I can lock it into the tension position.
You should always replace the tensioner when changing the belt.
Go to a garage/shop and rent a tensioner tool or have them reset the tensioner. When you put the timing belt over the camshaft pulley, clamp it with zip ties so it will not move. And put the pin or lock on the tensioner to the unarmed or disengaged position. And check first if you have the correct belt by measuring it side by side with the old one.

- Possible engine swap from 3.0 to 4.0 on 1994 Ford Ranger XL 4x4 manual? I'm wondering if I can drop a V6 4.0L engine straight into a V6 3.0L Ford Ranger XL? Both are 1994 ford rangers, everything the same as far as model/year just different size engine… And if not, what would need to be converted? I found a 4.0 for $250 with 0 miles so if its as simple as swapping engines/trannys I'm going to go for it… Thanks for help!
