2000 Ford Ranger 5.0 Swap Pt.6 Misc. Engine Improvements

Getting there....

I absolutely love O'Reilly's brake cleaner. Get your big tank and use 100% concentrated simple green or break it down a little bit and then allowed to put some boiling water in with it allow your parts and so forth to sit and soak. You can pick up two and a half gallon jugs of simple green at Home Depot commercial grade

@vortecturbo ya, we have a parts washer with mineral spirits. Im also a huge fan of simple green. I usually use brake cleaner with a brush, let dry. Then, put in the sand blaster. Some parts i just let soak for days in the mineral spirits. I always keep simple green on hand though, it's great stuff. Thanks for the heads up!

@vortecturbo i worked in a centrifuge shop where i cleaned industrial parts all day every day, so trying different ways to clean parts is a must to keep from going insane.

I see you're in Texas how far are you from Houston? And also if you would be down how much would you charge to do this all over again on my ranger lol

[@SBS_Auto]

@OgGokush montgomery conroe. If you bring me a ranger, and the proper year explorer 5.0 donor for it (just ask)and $11,000. I'll swap it, it'll run and drive with no check engine light, like it rolled off the showroom floor from ford.

Why are you replacing the wire plugs

[@SBS_Auto]

@@DavidLee-cp6jh why not?

[@SBS_Auto]

@DavidLee-cp6jh i replaced absolutely everything else. Why wouldn't i replace the plug wires? What a strange question.
