If you have questions, feel free to PM the original poster or ask in the appropriate section of The Ranger forums. By doing this modification and following this how-to you, the installer, take full responsibility if anything is damaged or messed up. Time to install: With engine out: 10-20 minutes / Engine in vehicle: unknown (estimated 45 min)ĭisclaimer: The Ranger, The Ranger Staff, nor the original poster are responsible for you doing this modification to your vehicle. Once you are done, get inside your car, start the engine and then take your car around the block to test its' performance.Difficulty: 7-9 out of 10 (depending on circumstances) Check if the actuator is centered at the gap repeat if not aligned. Install the new one – precisely marking it exactly where the original synchronizer is marked.
If so, stop and retrieve it from the oil pan and put it back in place then continue with pulling out of the synchronizer. Warning: the oil pump drive must not be disconnected, if it does you will hear a metallic sound while pulling up the synchronizer. When inserting the new one later, it should go on in the opposite direction while aligning the marks. Pull out the synchronizer (which rotates) at an angle to clear it from the lower intake manifold. Mark the synchronizer and engine block for alignment reference. Remove the bolt of synchronizer clamp using a 10mm socket. If the actuator is at the opposite gap, adjust the crank and make sure that the crankshaft pointer and pulley marks are aligned. Its gap must be near the top of the synchronizer. Step 5 – Remove the Existing SynchronizerĬheck the metal finger on top of the synchronizer (the actuator). Remove the screws and the camshaft sensor by pulling it straight up. Squeeze the camshaft sensor connector from beneath and pull. Take note which way the camshaft sensor points to – this should be carefully noted to ensure the correct orientation when the new one is installed. For example, with markings 1 1 and 1 0, the number “1” is the correct position. Adjust the crank shaft so the hash mark is pointing at the first digit of the two numbers found on the markings. Find the crankshaft pulley and the timing mark (two digits) on it, as well as the pointer at the front side of the engine. Turn the crank shaft using a 19mm socket with a short extension from underneath the truck. Step 3 – Set Crank Shaft at Top Dead Center Uninstall the air intake tube and the air filter then take out the upper intake manifold.
