You just can't go wrong with the Dodge Ranger combo :thumb up2:
Today I finished installing my new fuel pump and I checked the timing, I know, it;s a 1989 and old school.
When I got it the voltage reg was bad. I had to pull the flywheel. The magnets were loose...
I got a 1/2" x 50' twisted nylon anchor line at Walmart for $18
It looks great. It went in easy.
Tighten the cap screws while the rope's out
Make a knot at the end. The cap at the transom locks...

I have the Minn Kota one in the back corner behind the drivers seat. It makes it easy to just plug a cord into the battery charger.
I not sure if this is the answer you were looking for or if you...
Wrap your safety chain so it makes a loop in front of the hitch. Use a board through the loop to compress the hitch in, like pumping the brake pedal. If you can push it all the way in- bottom out-...
It it's clanking when you brake it's the same as the brake pedal going to the floor.
Could be:
Brakes out of adjustment, worn out
Master cylinder is bad
low/no fluid-leak somewhere
1989 373 with Johnson 150 GT
No jack plate and Renegade 4 blade 23
54.4 GPS at 5500 RPM
full fuel
rear well full

funny, 3800 RPMs is 38 mph, 4400 RPMs is 44 mph
Do these numbers sound...
I just did my 1989 373
15" for the rear and rod locker
eBay
2 struts and 4 brackets $50
In Florida they let you select a motorcycle size plate.
I drilled 2 new holes so the little plate bottom lines up with the frame rail bottom.
It doesn't stick up much at all above the rail.
The vinyl cover is pretty bad. I'm thinking I'd rather have carpet there.
Has anyone done this before?
How muck lower does it come out?
Did you build it up first?
Did that make the lid too heavy?...
I just bought (2) 205/75R14 with chrome mod wheels for $240 shipped to my door from eBay. i have no ides what brand tire it is. I'll know by the weekend. They will be better than the bias plys that I...
my trailer tires rotate when I tow. :doh:
Seriously if you see a wear pattern that has an opposite pattern on a different tire, swap them.
Thanks for reporting the results.
Did you post it on the original thread too?
It's a big help for guys who use the search feature.
Glad you're back out there again.
Are you making it to red line? With the huge drop in mph for adding people it sounds like you are propped wrong. Maybe back 2" and gain some RPMs? Just a thought.

Update. Today I finished the other mods and upgrades and was able to get it out of the barn and on the hose.
It started on the 3rd try. It really sounds good but the idle was high. I don't know if...
I still have some Kunnans from the early 90's. They still work.
Well I bought this 1989 373V with a 1988 Johnson 150 GT. I knew the tach didn't work and guessed it was the regulator. I had this issue years ago. The regulator somehow triggers the tach. I opted for...
Thanks guys. It sounds like they were an add on back in the day. I'll take some measurements tomorrow and see what's available on eBay. I kind of got side tracked today. Worked 2 hours longer then I...
I just bought a new to me 1989 Ranger 373V. None of the hatches stay open. Did they come with springs or struts to hold them open? The remaining brackets look like spring mounts because there are no...
