CAT22 flywheel ring gear

I was told long ao it was same as Ford Ranger PU

All of the Ranger flywheel ring gears I have located have the wrong diameters and wrong number of teeth.

What is the inside and outside diameter of the ring gear? Jon

Jon, I do not have calipers that large, but the approximate ID is 13 7/16" and the OD is 15"

I am leaving on a week's vacation and will be without computer access, so will check in with everyone when I get back in a week. Ray

In an old Ford Model A repair book, it stated that the engine always stops between the same 2 cylinders that are 180 degrees apart. The cheap fix recommendation is to heat it, then rotate 90 degrees to an unworn section of the Ring Gear.
Also the poor-mans overhaul is to take the ring gear off and flip it over providing it has double bevel teeth.
Remember I am repeating what I read, not what I recommend!

When you get back you can stare at this for a while.

Jon- there are only 2 that even have 118 teeth and the in dia is 18.372/out dia is 19.880 or 19.885 so that will not help any...

Check the 80's model Ranger with the 2.9 liter (I think) V-6. Used to have one (long gone) in the family. Still have the manuals somewhere I'll see if I can find them but size and tooth count sounds about right.
