Differential bearing caps 70-85 ft lb
Ring gear bolts 70-85 ft lb
Pinion bearing preload if using original bearings 8-14 lb-in, if installing new bearings 16-28 lb-in

Since your speedometers work, the problem is in the gearing to the trip and mileage odometers. Simple problem, major pain to fix but, remove instrument cluster - you'll have to remove speedo cable to get it out. Use the old Mark I eyeball to check for broken parts. Might even have to drop steering column - disconnect air bag first!

It does not have an ignition control module. The PCM (powertrain control module) fires the coil pack based on signal it recieves from the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor.

The valve covers installed on the 3.0L engine incorporate integral (built in) gaskets which should last the life of the vehicle. Replacement gaskets are available if required.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect the ignition wires from the spark plugs, but leave them attached to their wire looms.
2. Remove the ignition wire separators from the rocker arm cover attaching bolt studs with the wires attached, then lay the wires out of the way.
3. If the left hand cover is being removed, remove the throttle body assembly, the PCV valve and fuel injector harness stand-offs. If the right hand cover is being removed, remove the engine harness connectors, fuel injector harness stand-offs and air cleaner closure hose from the oil fill adapter.
4. Using caution, slide a sharp thin blade knife between the cylinder head gasket surface and the valve cover gasket at the four RTV junctions. CUT ONLY THE RTV SEALER AND AVOID CUTTING THE INTEGRAL GASKET.
5. Remove the integral gasket from the valve cover gasket channel. Note bolt/stud fasteners locations before removing gasket for correct installation. Clean gasket channel and remove any traces of RTV sealant.

1. Align fastener holes, lay new gasket onto channel and install by hand. Install gasket to each fastener, seat fastener against cover and at the same time roll gasket around fastener collar. If installed correctly all fasteners will be secured by gasket and not fall out.
2. Install valve cover to the engine, lightly oil all bolts and stud threads. Apply a bead of RTV sealant at the cylinder head to intake manifold rail step (two places per rail).
3. Place the valve cover on the cylinder head and install attaching bolts and studs. Tighten the attaching bolts to specifications.

1. Install all remaining components in reverse order of removal procedure. Connect the ignition wires to the spark plugs and reconnect the negative battery cable. Start the engine and run to normal operating temperature, then check for oil and vacuum leaks.

it should be under the hood on the driverside fender well and heres a picture to help you locate it.

In my case was the Temperature Blend Door Actuator (electric motor inside is weak) this is very usual in Ford Ranger 2008. For all models part Number 19E616 AA.
1. Open the Gloves Box all the way down (is very simple, you will see it).
2. A white little box in front of you with a electric connector. That is the part to replace (see pic below).
3. Only 3 screws 5/16" and the electric connector (with a clip) The access is bad to the back screw, but I did it in like 2 hrs. Ford Dealer is going to charge you 6.3 hrs. because they remove the air bag.


Use a Combination Wrench (small) and a Roto Ratchet (small) this is all you need and lots of patience. You will get tired just rest and try little later.


Good luck.

The Flasher is located behind the LH (Drivers) side of the instrument panel, on fuse panel,

0.042-0.046 is the correct gap for your spark plugs,If it is backfiring now and was not before make sure you were not sold platinum bosch plugs and if you are using factory plugs,then I be looking for a faulty spark plug.Also make sure the firing order is correct.

Hello! See attached diagram of fuse locations...It is located in fuse box #2...The BOTTOM row of fuses counting from left to right are: 32, 33, 34, and 35....The fuse that controls the cigar lighter/computer is fuse # 29 (20A) and is in the row ABOVE the bottom row...These fuses count from left to right: 26, 27, 28, 29 (This is the bad one) 30, and 31....Guru...............Saailer
