I just bought a 1990 Ford Ranger and it is doing something weird?
As stated in the title I bought a 1990 Ford Ranger today and it had recently gotten some parts replaced including: Fly Wheel, Starter, tires and some others. But the problem is, when I'm stop and accelerate the whole truck shakes and jiggles and I'm not exactly sure what it is? Any comments help.
It's a Ford Ranger 1990 Automatic 4wd.
Added (1). Also, I'm not sure if this is normal on these old of cars but when on the freeway going about 65 that's red lining it.
Sounds like your transfer case is in 4 wheel low as far as being red lined at 65
Sounds like your front end is out of alignment. And/or engine mount broken.
My sister's used to do this, if you change the oil and spark plugs it should reduce the shaking but it could be several different things that cause it, the wheel could be the problem they might not be fastened tight enough. If the truck is lifted it could be wind resistance, or it could be the engine just shaking drastically because the engine is 24 years old. The engine isn't getting enough air, fuel or spark that it needs to run smoothly. Overall I suggest checking the air filter, changing the oil and spark plugs, and purchasing STP fuel injector cleaner and then go from there.
Could be a miss, could be the tailshaft od the transmission isn't bolted down, could be worn out u-joints
- Would it be weird if I bought a full size van as my first car? I'm 17 and I want to buy my first car. I'm used to driving SUVs and pickup trucks. I have always liked full size passenger vans. I like being able to haul things and customize it. I really like the 1992-97 Ford E150 XLT 7 passenger van. Would it be weird if I bought one as my first car? I'm talking about a van.
- I have a 1997 ford ranger XLT and there's something wrong with my heater? When I turn the heat selector it doesn't do anything. Could there be something wrong with the vacuum. My truck is a 2.3 l 4 cylinder with 8 sparkplugs. How can I fix this? Also could something be preventing the trap doors from opening when I put it to a different selection
- Just bought a new truck, but wish I would have bought the Ford instead I put 8000 down and the first payment is due next week. Would it be wise to trade it just keep it for awhile?
- How to give an idea for something to like Chevy or ford or something? I have an idea that I know would make a lot of money for them but I want to tell them, not anyone else about it, and should I try and patent it first?
