What did you do to your Ranger today?

[gfitzge2]

Just a quick wash on the Rangers 2 year anniversary. Came home two years ago today. 16,079 miles. Still very happy with it.

I added the last two bed tie-down hooks to my Ranger. They were spendy but I like them and I’m a self-diagnosed OCD Perfectionist and those empty bolt holes we’re driving me nuts! I like OEM whenever possible.

By the way - it’s CDO not OCD because the letters are not in alphabetical order?

If it only takes 5.5 qts to the top of the hash marks, then anyone who fills with 6.2 qts in is already on their way to the top hole ?

In my ranger 6.2 qrts in the crank case would be too much... even with a empty filter. I would assume the 6.2 qt capacity includes the filter. To be honest I actually use a little less than 5.5 quarts total. When I did my first at 1000 miles I wasnt going to buy a 7th quart jut use ".2 " of it. Im sure theres's a good bit more than .2 quarts remaining in the eninge, even after a prolonged draining on a warm/hot engine. I make sure the frame is as close to level as I can get it on the jack stands. I fill up a new Motorcraft FL-910S oil filter ( the OEM small one) before putting it on, it will take more than 1/4 quart but not quite 1/2 quart. Pour the new oil in the new filter and let the element absorb the oil, then fill again and it will absorb a lttlie more. On the third fill i stop about half way from the top( so very little if any spills when i tilt it to thread it on). This whole thing isnt really necessary but just something i do. I save the remainder of that ( it all adds up... after a while I'll have a full quart saved) then a 5 quart jug into the crank case. Ive done this same rutine a total of three times now and it seems to be just right. Up to the hash marks and no rising levels. I use mobile 1 advanced full synthetic and it looks pretty good between changes....dark but not nasty.

Continuing my pursuit of financial dumbassery, I purchased a travel trailer yesterday. I pick it up next Friday. I made the mistake of taking my father and wife along. They ganged up on me and I ended up with the more expensive one ha. Better quality though, so I'm not real upset. 23' box and 4,000 dry.

Installed Turbosmart Blow Off Valve that came in the mail yesterday. Took about 5 minutes.

Unplug factory BOV

Remove 3 bolts

Mount Turbosmart - it only goes 1 way, make sure you line up the bolt holes right

Tighten bolts and test

Coffee time!!

Today I put on a Ford Embark LS tonneau cover. I got a a great deal on Ebay. It was a big gamble but it seems to have paid off. The up side is I only paid $800. The downside is no warranty. It had only one small ding from shipment and it was in a spot that is unseen. I will let you know more if it gives me trouble. FYI currently the seller has one more if anyone else wants to roll the dice. Sellers name is blakehurlburt1 .

I purchased the BedTred Impact Bed Mat. They had a sale with free shipping so I got it for around $200.

Changed the oil, after the dealer did it the first time, not sure who the gorilla was that tightened up the drain bolt at the dealership that thing was on there, same with the filter what a PITA.

It's been 22 days since I went to the dealership to get my rear shock replaced under warranty. No response. I ordered Fox 2.0's from Stage 3 this morning.

Curious why you didn't go thru Benny here for the Ford Fox 2.0 for cheaper price?

How much cheaper we talking? Honestly, that didn't even cross my mind.

Got the wireless Carplay panel installed, I am a happy camper--works perfectly, looks like it was always there.
