Ford Ranger 2.3 timing belt-no special tools needed 

Before you tighten everything down, be sure to turn the motor two full revolutions with a socket on the crank and double-check your marks. Sometimes the tensioner will cause them to be off one or two teeth.

Just watched your video . Just wanted to tell you outstanding job sir I'm a electrician by trade but try to do all my own work on my vehicles to but sometimes like with this timing belt I needed some advice your video did just that thank you sir please keep posting them I may need you again one day

This is hands down the best video about this by far. Not sure why it would have any dislikes.

Used this method and it worked perfectly for me. Thanks buddy!

I am the one who bought the tool for this job. It is not that expensive at all and makes the installation much easier...

Nice video and good information thank you

thank you bro.....u saved me 1700 bucks and that's without the tensioner 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Thank's, looks like I'm gonna have to be doing this tomorrow

Thank you. Great video.

Does the 2.0 have the same timing marks or am I just blind, asking for a friend lol

I noticed that camshaft turned when you released the tention. Do the timing marks have to be dead on?

Brilliant!

Did you take the harmonic balancer off???

Thank you for the video

be nice and very helpful to see how you removed the old belt with all the tin ware still there.

Mini pry bar or flat head will work

I have a 1975 mustang II with 2.3L and im going to see if I can use a pry bar like that. I dont want to buy the tool which ill use 2 times max

You have 2 ignition coils? I only have one.

the book calls for additional 30 lb of torque on the Belt except nobody shows you how to do it

Thank you!

My Shits dead on 🤘🏼 good looks

Please tell me if your oil pump had any resistance in it when turning by hand. Mine does about half a free turn half resistance. Thanks man Update, it's enough resistance to have to use a wrench to turn it on around the other half turn. Thank you guys my friend

Just be sure you use the sockets that fit...that's why it was "slippn".

nice vodeo

Just think, still using such primitive very primitive technology on modern cars. And they still want to charge you at the dealership a fortune. Maybe, next time we go out to buy a car, we should bring up the prehistoric technology that sits in that $65,000 vehicle.

one of the best tutorial videos I've seen, thank you sooooo much

Was it a tooth out? Looks like you had the slave k on the wrong side of the cam gear😂

The tool is not expensive. Lookup “company 23”

Where they put the timing mark on the camshaft has got to be the stupidest place to put the timing mark ever in the history of vehicles you can't see the damn thing when your trying to put the belt back on so when you put the belt on you end up putting it on wrong by 1 notch one single notch and you have to take everything back off DUMBEST DESIGN EVER HELL I EVEN PUT MY OWN NOTCH ON IT AT THE 10 O'CLOCK AREA WHERE IT'S VERY EASY TO SEE

WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T TAKE THAT TENSIONER SPRING OFF THIS IS ANOTHER GUY TELLING YOU HOW TO DO THINGS WRONG

You sound like a robot

why do they all have such poor camera work wobbling around when we need a good photo hose or something is in the waywith a split second of the timing marks

Take the damn gloves off..

There is a bolt hole in behind the AC bracket that you can run a bolt into and relieve tension on the adjuster. Saves a bunch of work.
