I have the Valvomax and like it alot. I like how it seals better than the Fumato ball valve. Amd it's all stainless.
Well, I was looking over it for a while and I liked the design of the Valvomax enough that I just ordered 2, one for the Ranger and the other for the Focus RS. I plan on adding flow control clamps on the hoses so that I can close off the hose while connecting it drain valve and then move my oil collection pan/bucket in place and open the flow control clamp.
You can start the threads at the valve without it opening the valve then as you screw it in it opens the valve slowly, till its tight/wide open. Even works for getting a sample for analysis. What ever works for you though.
Well, that's different!Installed my grill lights and color match light shield today. It's only 900% humidity and 8000 degrees in So FL so stopped there.
I did my doors and it makes a big difference. I also doubled it up under the speakers and I think that helped out, too. I just have factory radio setup.Installed some killmat under the storage areas and along the entire back wall of the cab. I didn’t go crazy with it, just wanted to deaden it a bit. I have a turndown exhaust after the axle and wanted to see if it would reduce some of the exhaust note and ambient road noise. I had it laying around so I figured why not. Seems to have made a difference but need to do the doors for more impact. Interestingly, it didn’t necessarily reduce the volume of the exhaust much on side streets etc, but what I hear now is deeper tones vs a more hollow sound. Made the cab a bit more deadened in general which I like. Can’t wait to do the doors and install my focal speakers and tweeters. Picture was about half way through and added a bit more in spots.
Some of us can't afford to use up our payload limit on sound deadening material. ?Installed some killmat under the storage areas and along the entire back wall of the cab.

Very slick! Curious - have a link?Installed my grill lights and color match light shield today. It's only 900% humidity and 8000 degrees in So FL so stopped there.
With family (wife, son & self), pulling my Civic on the car trailer and most of the load (tools, strapbox, ramps on the trailer with the Civic along with putting the roof rack and bike on the Civic instead of the Ranger... my payload remaining is estimated to be under 100lb. I'll be honest, my wife, son and I could stand to be a collective 200lb less than we are, I'm not brave enough to say where xlb can be lost.
