Some models of Ford Ranger have ( 9 inch ) rear drum brakes
You have to measure the inside diameter of the drum.
1997 wheels on 2000 silverado? the wheels are the same, drum or disc. /
take off the brake drum and measure the diameter of drum it will either be 9" or 10" often the diameter is stamped on the outside lip of the drum in mm's 25.6/ inch aprox. sometimes with mag wheels you can read this w/out pulling wheel off.
If it has disc brakes, it must be a 15 inch tire. A 225 or 235 75 ratio will doo. If is has four wheel drum brakes, a 14 inch tire was standard. a 225 or 235 75 will do.
probably have drum brakes. so you take the tire off and there is a gap about and inch wide on the outside of the drum casing, if you spin the casing so the gap is near the very bottom then you should be able to see a little sproket. now you have to use a flat tip screw driver to spin the sproket which will either losen or tighten the brakes, depends on what your wanting to do
Depends on your Ranger, the non 4 wheel drive take 9 inch rear brakes. The 4 wheel drive Rangers take 10 inch brakes.
If the brake drums are 9 inches wide on the inside, they are 9 inch brakes; 10 inches wide, 10 inch brakes.
for trash ? put holes 1 inch up from bottom, in drum, at least 1inch in dia, all around drum, sit drum up on cement blocks, cut top out, drop a few bricks in bottom lay an old grill grate on bricks, [allows air flow]
The BEST way is to remove the wheel, pop off the drum and measure the surface area of the shoes. My best guess is 10's; however, if you want the sure answer...
A 150-gallon drum contains 0.0036 gallon per cubic inch.
