What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Rod B]

Thanks.

I found this video and I had to try it for myself.

Sounds like you need to practice though. I’ll be right over.

I use that sh!t on everything. Cleans the grill and stove pretty good. Oil drips on the garage floor or drive, spray a little on it, let it go to work and rinse it off. Use it in an ultrasonic cleaner for greasy car parts.

It's very effective for sure. Plus scent wise, it's not bad at all.

Did you angry my post cause of simple green? Are you an anti simple green person?

Not at all, you had good choices. I'm trying to find a good excuse as to why I didn't do mine and you're not helping.

I literally just use the spray/foam mode and apply a few spurts. Then a spurt of water, then take my leaf blower to it

Got those rear shocks on. Took an old one (12000 miles on it) and can push it down with two fingers with the other end on driveway. Tried it with the new ones and my old ass had to use two hands and 1 fart. Also added 3/4 quart Mercon ulv.

I used to use a leaf blower until I found this.

yes, it's expensive. But it's much easier to work with.

Ehh I had people recommend it to me. That's stupid money for me but I'm not rich so..

I use this product:

Light weight and I can pull off the nozzles if I need a "compact" setup.

My brakes don't seem to modulate well either. My brakes will engage harder the slower I go... Like it ignores my pedal pressure.

My front struts seem to be giving up the ghost at 6k too, noticed some wheel bounce over some potholes.


Transmission on mine seems weird but fine, so I'm not worried about it yet. Also expected the MPG to be off, though I get less than my brothers V8 silverado...


Ah well, I waited 8 months to get it so I'm gonna tough it out while the warranty is active.

Look at those struts about once a week for oil leaking. Otherwise I get roughing it out until the warranty ends. The rears are easy to do and can be as cheap as 180.00 for both depending on what you like/want. I can tell you that even the Bilstein 4600’s (2WD) made a night and day difference.

Good choice.

180.00 with tax and delivered in 2 days. Ordered Saturday night and they had it at fed-x by Sunday am. I got it Monday afternoon. Summit Racing is incredible.

I installed the 4600s in the rear couple months ago. Made a good difference but truck still handles like crap compared to my other trucks. I've been considering getting the fronts once I get that credit card balance low.

I went through them too.

Crap! That does look nice, sheesh I think I actually do need this! =)

And ... I just ordered it direct from Putco ...

Yea.. I’m about ready to pull the trigger as well. Saw them a few months ago on their Amazon store. https://www.amazon.com/Putco-87163-...mzn1.fos.08f69ac3-fd3d-4b88-bca2-8997e41410bb

I’ve been putting off the fronts. You,have to pop the tie Rod ends loose to get them out. Not a huge deal but then I’ll have to get it aligned back up too.

That's why I'll just have a shop do the install so I can get the alignment done same day.

I like working on my own stuff, but struts and coil springs? Hell naw.
