Well, I can understand that... I would want to be the last person to mis-lead someone. So the stock configuration never included the C5 which doesn't mean that it didn't have one in it. I'll have to go back to the Ford dealer in Bremerton and let them know that they were wrong along with these other...

Actually Tek, I had double checked what I said after Dave's first comment. I doublechecked with FordTrucks.com, Racetransmissions.com, Autorepairmanuals (Ford C5 Transmission Repair Manual) and doublechecked that the W code was a C5. I could really care less though about the heritage of an automatic...

Well Dave, normally I would take what you say at face value, but for some reason you seem determined to pick a fight with me on a simple question... First off you should check your sources, the C5 was NOT introduced in '82. The following vehicles had the C5 in it: 1973-83 F100. Early 80's 4WD Ranger...

My 88 gets 25 if i drive it easy Sure, that's easy to believe. My '88 got 24 mpg in the summertime, on the highway, in overdrive. The '84 gets what I consider fair mileage at 21 mpg in the summertime, but that's a 3 speed w/o overdrive. All internal combustion engines get worse mileage in the winte...

I do not believe that the TC locks up. Normally you can feel when one does. As for the fuel mileage; the '84 during normal winter driving will get between 16 and 18 mpg. My '88 was getting similar mileage during the same type winter driving. Both of them use the same tire/wheel set and the tire size...

I thought that only the aftermarket T/Cs locked up on the C4 and C5. This is a totally stock '84. If that is not correct I have no answer.

IF you have been through the carb tune up procedure in the Haynes or Chiltons manuals I would change one thing at a time. Most often this happens because the carb tuneup was not performed completely. As far as the EGR valve goes, I believe it is on a standoff on the front passenger's side of the int...

I think there was only a few manufacturers that built headers for the 4x4 BII/Ranger and don't think they still do, but if you look up the 2150 carb it was and still is one of the best carbs made. The 2.8 you can get an Offenhauser intake for that should help with performance though.

Sooo... I've been driving my BII for the past 2 years in mostly winter weather commuting 140 mile/day. This morning it threw a rod. :mad2: Question is; what is a good C5 worth? What is a good C5 with a good transfer case worth? I'm keeping the BII to put the drivetrain from the '94 Exp in, but it's ...

First off, thanks for the update. The cleaner you're most likely looking for would be Sea Foam. You can pick it up at NAPA. If you do a search on the site, there are discussions on it.. Secondly, you are correct, the choke shouldn't just disengage once started. This is an adjustment. Get your Chilto...

Sorry.. had to run to St Louis and didn't get the pics.. I will get them for you though.. What you are calling a "spout" connector is the connector that runs a single wire to the distributor. Normally it is "hung" on a plastic bracket on the firewall behind the distributor. The w...

A "wobble" most likely means that he bearings are about worn out. When the bearings wear, it allows the armature and the stator to get closer or farther from one another resulting in an inconsistant charge. If they said that it was working (doesn't mean it still is), I would have them thro...

youse guys are just too funny........... I'll see if I can get some pics posted for you from my '84.. It really seems like your BII is sucking the gas from the tank rather than having it pumped.. Just for grins, remove the fuel line from the carb (rubber hose) and have someone crank the engine. You ...

After you get the distro tightened up, you will want to check your wires. You will find on the intake manifold, the firing sequence, just go clockwise from the 1 that is on the distributor cap, and match that to the sparkplugs. #1 piston is the passenger front. Your Chilton or Haynes manual will hav...

Not sure why you'd want to use a used water pump when for $20 or so you can get a new one... Even so, go to www.rockauto.com and look up both water pumps and if the numbers match, you can use it. Otherwise call up your local parts house and tell them what you're doing, in most cases they can do this...
