Max tire size for a 78 F150 Ranger?

I've got a stock 78 Ford F150 Ranger and wanted to know what is the biggest tire I can put on there? I'm looking for an All-Terrain tire for this truck. The previous owner had the 33/10.50-15 on there and just wanted to see if I can go bigger as far as the tire goes.

1993 ford ranger locking hub conversion?

The 4wd locking hubs are shot. If you put them in the lock position they just pop and grind. I took them off and they are just wore slap smooth out. I can replace them with factory replacement parts, or my question… Can I convert it over to live axle?

Truck stalling and making white smoke on highway?

It's been happening this week and been doing it ever since when I go over around 65mph. My thermometer on the dash says its on the cooler side, but what's been happenening is when I go down the highway, it feels like someone switched gears from let s say 2nd to 8th (just an example) kinda like if you started in 2nd or 3rd furing takeoff. The truck rattles and sounds like it's about to stall and as soon as it does, a puff of white smoke comes from the exaust. Then when I start it up more white smoke comes out Then I can drive normally back on the highway until I get to high speeds. It's a 1993 Ford Ranger XL 2.3 4cyl. I went mudding in some pretty deep mud and I noted the alternator has been acting up and stalling sometimes on the road but that s a different problem than this one. The radiator was super muddy and I flushed it, but I didn't do a full engine flush. I just kept spraying a water hose until the water from the drain hole was clear. If anyone knows anything that could help that would be great.

Is this truck worth fixing?

My dad has a 1989 ford ranger 4x4 with a 4 cylinder engine… Which they stopped putting in 4 wheel drives. It only has 69000 original miles because it was wrecked and frame was bent. He got the frame straightened and put about 4200 dollars in it to fix it up (back in the mid 90's). He drove it a little while and it started pouring oil down back of engine. He parked it and it has set for over 10 years. I did a little inspecting and discovered it was only the oil pressure sending unit blown apart…(a cheap part). Now the problem. Rats, mice, and squirrels have destroyed the interior and wiring. I mean annahilated it! Is it worth trying to rewire and fix? The engine turns over great and it doesn't start because the fuel pump wires are chewed gone. What's your thoughts on it? Is it worth my time/money to fix and drive it?

Truck is overheating. I think?

This is probably gonna sound stupid, but my 1993 ford ranger has no working temp guage, and I just got it running good after setting for 8 months. I drove it about 2 miles on a test drive and then pulled back into my drive and talked to someone with it idling for about 15 minutes. I then drove it home and parked it. After I turned it off, I heard it kinda gurgling in the radiator. I popped the hood and it was perculating into the overflow tank. It sounded like it was boiling. Is it overheating? Probably so… Right?

Just changed fuel pump and now have a really high idle?

I have a 1993 ford ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 v6 engine. It died and would start back about 8 months ago.Today I started testing it and hooked up fuel pressure guage and nothing. So, I pulled the pump and replaced the pump/hanger assembly and drained out all the old gas and put fresh in it. It had good fuel pressure but wouldn't start. It didn't have any fire. I changed out the coil pack with another one I had laying around off another motor, and still nothing. I pulled out the ohmeter and tested the voltage and fuses and everything checked good. I then pulled off the panel to expose the ecm and inspected some wires and then climbed under the truck and ran my hand up the wiring going into the crank sensor. I didn't find anything. I then thought, what the hell, I'll try it 1 more time and boom… It started right up and ran, but it won't go below 3000 rpms. It will not idle. So, I proceeded to check for vacuum leaks and nothing was found. I didn't smoke test it to see if the upper intake's leaking or anything. I'm thinking maybe a idle air control valve, tps, vacuum leak, or an ecm problem… And why did me fiddling around with some wires cause it to start? I'm at a loss and am thinking an ecm prob since I did move it around a little. Any ideas?
