I am trying to replace the timing belt on the 2.5L 2000 Ford Ranger. The Chilton Manual says to remove the Air condition/power steering mounting bracket, but does not say how many or where they are located. Can some one please help

Q: how to change from limited slip to positraction on a 2000 ford ranger?
I have a ford ranger and i would like to change the differential from limited slip to posi traction. Im not sure on what the actual term is i read locker axle. But on my ranger 1 wheel rotates and i would like to change it to both tires to rotate. Please tell me how. If this is a at the house kind of thing or do i have to go somewhere special. and part suggestion please if you could.

A: Limited slip is positraction. You might be referring to a locker. There are several kinds. A mechanical locker will be cheapest but some are not good on the street. There are also selectable lockers, these are lockers that the driver engages when needed, some use air pressure to activate, some are electrically operated. They are more expensive but they function like an open diff when not activated, making them ideal for street use.

I have an extra Brush guard from my 2000 Izzu Rodeo and would like to put it on my Ranger, I am a novice and am not even sure where to begin, thanks in advance.

A: well they are not even the same bolt pattern, so you would most likely have to fabricate something to make it fit.

Q: 2000 Ford Ranger with 134,000 miles on it for $2,995 is this a good buy?
I found a 2000 for Ranger that has 134,000 miles on it for $2,995 and I wanted to know if would be a good buy or not.

A: Most people sell a vehicle because either they don't know how long it will last, or don't expect to. That's what you want to know, though. How long will last. If you want to pay out now, and then up grade later when you have more money, great. But you can expect to put some money in any used vehicle,especially at time of purchase. Let's hope not, I know. If it looks bad and runs bad, no. If it runs good and looks good. yes. It really depends on what you have to fix, the cost.

Q: Can I put Synthetic/Blended oil in my 2000 Ford Ranger?
Hello everyone I was wondering if I could put synthetic/blended oil in my 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0L?

A: yes, you can, but make sure its not leaking because the smaller molecules in synthetic oil will cause slow leaks to speed up, but as long as you have no leaks its fine and you should get more mileage out of it than conventional oil

Q: 2000 Ford Ranger Automatic with Overdrive Transmission?
I just purchased a 2000 Ford Ranger it has automatic transmission there is a button to push in to put it in OD, but when I turn the engine off and get back in the OD is on. Is it supposed to be in OD all the time or when and what is it used for ? Thank You for any information you can give me on this.

A: Default is OD engaged. When you manually disengage it, it will return to the OD on strategy if the key is cycled off. OD should be disabled only if you are hauling a trailer.
