Yeah, but soupie gets 0.00124 mpg more than you.I think the side seals main purpose is to help keep rain out.
On mine, that is missing said seals I'll occasionally see my relay block, battery, ect get droplets of water from heavier rains.
I used 1/4 closed cell foam seal on mine.
Guess I better pull that foam seal off then.
LOL! Yes, I have hood struts also. But they are black, not the nice shinny ones like yours!Sure rub it in, I suppose you also have the hood struts! =p
LOL, that was the deletion that I really affected my perception of the Ranger being a truck. I guess my frame of reference was old pickups and the massive springs they had.
The hood prop, even though that's all I've ever had on any of my vehicles, just felt wrong to me for the Ranger. So I added the Red Line ones ... =)
Of course, after adding the engine cover, I can just knock twice on the hood and the mice will open it! =D
Nope. My '23 did not include struts. However, I ordered struts in advance and had them here for the new blue baby to arrive.
Great video on how it works, wonder if it shuts down complexly when driving highway speeds and air is at a high flow rate,
Well my 70 GT0, 69 Impala, 96 GT Mustang, 94 Ranger didn't sound like a squirell getting chopped to pieces, But hey! after owning a 2008 F250 Diesal with a Delete and Tuner I was expecting something quiter. I guess I'll look around and ask more about deleting the clutch fan for and electric fan. Maybe I'll get even sneakier getting into my hunting honey hole without watching the Whitetail go over the horizon.
As stated, my truck is noisy only for a few minutes on startup. An electric fan may work, IF it provides enough airflow to meet cooling needs of the engine. Personally, I wouldn't jeopardize cooling on my truck because of fan noise. And electric fans aren't too much quieter as they always are running.
