I just went and checked out the Ranger site and WOW I knew I got a deal but WHAT A DEAL! I also noticed that they are now made of cast aluminum and weigh about 80lbs, the one I have is cast iron and much heavier. Also noticed the new ones are 7.5 or 7.75" not 8. Just wanted to throw that out there!

Looking good Sharecropper, how much lift did you put in there?

I have two CUCV's one has a 700R4 and is my daily driver, the other is almost exactly as you described right down the the Ranger TS. I picked it up at a trans. shop in Buffalo NY years ago with no real project in mind for only $100! The shop owner had retired and was selling unclaimed stuff...

When you remove the cover drop the starter and check to see if the drive gear will move freely in and out. If oil gets on it from a leak it can collect dust and dirt and then 'stick' that might cause the gear to only partially engage and 'slip'? Do you hear a grinding when the engine stops...

Looks pretty good, I would've cheated on the trip home and took along a pair of larger tires for the rear axle. I just can't drive 55!

Nice, but to rich for my blood!

I swapped out the front springs and surprise! I didn't have any real problems! The only small problem was I used a heavy duty set with an extra leaf because of the snow plow and the two bolts on the passenger side that screw into the D.60 housing were to short. It only took a few minutes of...

I sometimes take and spray some silicon on the end felts,( DON'T DO THIS IF YOUR PLANNING ON PAINTING ANYTHING FOR AWHILE)! If everything is clean and lubed properly and adjusted you don't need the silicon but hey we're talking real life here.

I'm leaning toward a bad dimmer switch or maybe a bad connection at the main wire harness plug. ( on the firewall under the brake booster)

The same switch will always last longer when used to break the ground rather than the line (power) because there's less arcing and contact metal transfer. With that in mind a switch breaking the ground will NOT protect against accidental shorts to ground. Personally I think killing the power to...

The first thing I did was install a under hood blanket/insulator, that made a big difference. I also sprayed bedliner material on the floor (inside)of my truck, I went as high up as I could without totally removing everything like the heater box. That made a difference then I used a few rubber...

I've got an 8.5' Western on mine, at one time in it's life it was 7.5' but when you have a complete metal fab shop and a "helper" that really knows what he's doing things come out good! I've had that old plow on civvie Blazers and trucks and now on a 1028 and rarely spin and have never gotten...

That could've gotten real interesting if a cop had've stopped you!

Sure you can, there out there you just need to look for them and have the money to pay for it. I have a new in the box GM door and a like new Blazer power tailgate in my garage, if I have them others do too. Sorry the're not for sale at this time!

After 20 years doing auto body work I got a job selling aftermarket parts and body shop supplies. There were parts that I and a few others just would not sell such as fiberglass Mustang hoods and truck TAILGATES! I remember one that I had put on a Dodge truck, after fitting and painting it, the...

I was thinking OEM, for no other reason than the spot welds look a little to perfect for AM. Kinda hard to tell tho. With another look the indentation lines are pretty darn smooth too, not that it really matters much use what you got. I've found that the most troublesome area is where the window...

I agree, it sounds like the timings off a bit. Try changing it I think you'll like it.

I found them on Amazon, haven't gotten them yet but they're there!

If your hearing a clicking or as you TAK noise that leads me to believe that a relay/solenoid is making intermittent contact when you hit a bump. I'd be looking at the starter relay under the dash and follow that up with the glow pug relay. The starter relay points inside could be bouncing and...

In the OP's pic's it looks like the tach has it's own plug. I'd check that out, it may be as easy as plugging in the stock harness and making a small harness for just the tach.
