You didn't mention if it was 2 or 4 wheel drive so I went with a 2 wheel drive. According to hollander the 5 speed transmaaion fits a ranger (2WD) 1991 - 1994 and a Mazda B3000 1994 only. Hope this helps.....
Freeze plugs look like cup stuffed into the block. Round and indented. They vary in size from 1/2" - 3" ruffly. Usually poke or drill a hole in them then pry them out of the block. Then tap the new one in with something thats the same size as the inside of the new plug.
if its overheating and pushing the freeze plugs out then the cooling system is creating excessive pressure which can only happen if the head gaskets are no good causing combustion chamber pressure to enter the cooling system.if the freeze plugs are the correct size then it takes alot to force a freeze plug out of the block.
Is this a manual 4 wheel drive system that can be shifted into 2 wheel drive? These type of systems should be in 2 wheel drive for tight turns. The drive train locks the differentials to make it 4 wheel drive and with the 4x4 engaged it creates this lunge grabbing effect.
From what I know about that system I don't think you can without possibly damaging the transfer case and, I don't think you really need to. The way the system works, the front wheels are not really engaged unless the transfer case "sees" slippage or a dis-similar turning speed between front and rear wheels (why it's important to keep all tires exactly the same in size, brand and tread depth) when it sees a difference a coupler inside the case heats up and makes the engagement. On dry ground, there is no slippage and the unit remains in two wheel drive. Therefore, I'd leave it alone.
4X4 problem can be most anything but on a 90, chances are the transfer case is internally worn out...easier and faster to replace than rebuild. Heat and cruise may be related...look for a disconnected or broken vacuum line. Overheating may be exactly what you think it is. You need to have a functioning electric fan on there. On a radiator that old, you may need to flush it though. Blocks, especially 4.0's tend to rust internally and plug the cores up with debris (not a bad idea to flush heater too). I removed nearly a half cup of rust from a 92 not long ago...that's a lot considering the small size of the radiator. There may be more or less to each of your problems but I'd check out what I mentioned first. Most important is to stop the overheating. If you kill the engine, the rest is junk. As with anything else, don't change parts 'till you know for sure they are bad. Good luck
the tires & rims that come with your vehicle are designed to meet all the specs of your vehicle. When you change sizes and styles, you then need to get the computer re programmed with the tire changes you have made. It affects your speedometer, your transfer case, your fuel (mpg) and the performance of the engine to the wheals. Also you can damage your transmission and rear end. So my advise is to buy a high end tire that meets origional specs. Look at the Toyo's they are great tires, great performance and no alterations are needed. Pluss they look cool as hell so try that http://www.treadepot.com/ check this site out and call them, they have better deals on the phone and have fricking great prices on tires.
