What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RangerDangerStranger]

Added a Redarc tow controller, with good location, i think. ps- it was a PITA to put it there.

Installed Turbosmart BOV Kompact Dual Port
Anticipating some questions:
Bought at Stage3MotorSport
It took about 10 minutes to install
I already have the Borla Performance Cat-Back exhaust S-Type system installed
Yes i felt the difference right away, this combination of mods pushes you back on your seat

Next mod to finish this power improvement will be the Roush Cold Air Intake, delivery delays over @LevittownFordParts.com (these guys have the best prices, so i will keep waiting) and the AFE Intercooler Pipes (Bladrunner 3”) also delivery delays @Stage3Motorsports

Not sure if I will do the Ford Performance Tune, waiting on some more conversation about the improvements in these blogs.

I'm not a engine expert but from having two Focus ST's I'm pretty sure adding a BOV will add zero HP and a exhaust maybe 3-5 at best on a turbo engine.

The biggest and cheapest gains you can get for your money is a tune.

Good catch, yup the clock is off; never had to set it, almost exclusively use Apple CarPlay and my phone.

I would think sync 3 would be smart enough to set the time either via wifi or phone connection (CarPlay). Seems silly if it doesn't.

It is... when my phone is connected ?. The actual time of the photo was 1757.

Installed a CR Performance upgraded turbo. 12 hour job. Still need to add the tune for it but it already makes a difference.

What gains did you get out of it? And what is the cost of something like that?

True. But that's just displaying the time on your phone. I would think the system would be coded to sync the system time with the source. ah la NTP server that keeps computers n' junk all correctified.

It's my vocation, so maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Today I actually re-tightened all the bolts from my SPD downpipe install now that it's been ~100 miles.

I usually never do the ole re-tighten, but I felt it prudent for the downpipe. Spoiler alert, everything was still rock solid tight.

But since this a thread about what we did to our trucks, I ordered a Diamondback cover crossbin a couple of weeks ago. I'm waiting patiently for it to arrive. They're back up more than a nursing home on cheese stick night.

Thanks for the advise but you left out that the BOV sounds BADASS and now that i finished installing the Roush Air Intake and the aFe intercooler pipes it sounds, runs and looks even better. I am going to save the Tuner money for my down payment on the new Bronco

Picked up a 10x10 dog kennel. It was hanging out the side and back pretty bad. Truck started jerking right really hard. I pulled over and everything seemed fine. Then tried to stop the gas and it wasn't working. Turned off the traction control and it was great. lol. weird.

 

[CVCA91911]

Livernois Tuner arrived today. I’m already getting started.

 

[HTX1811]

Got my XLT speedo display in with the bigger middle screen. Now I just need to put 1,000 miles on my Ranger for the milage to match.
