Hello from Bedford Indiana !
 

:flirt::flirt::flirt::flirt:Very icy and cold here this morning. Good thing about the ice , it should make sliding in and out from under the truck easier ,lol... I have been lucky enough to have a secound ford ranger give to me as a project. If I can fix it I can have it scenario. Which is great for me and would be even better if the weather was nice or I had a garage to work in but ya cant have everythin I guess so... here I am asking for a little help to see if there might be a few short cuts I may be missing in replacing an oil pump in an '89 2.9 V6 XLT. Would it be possible to remove just the crossmember and the distributor, anything else.....?

Welcome. Looks like you made a thread in the wrong section but oh well. You know where Salem, IN is?
