Thank you guys for the information and feedback. I'll post an update after about 3 days, usually how much I can get out of one tank of fuel. I drive through the seat of my pants anyway lol.
Decided to back out of buying the civic last minute. It needed more repairs than the car is even worth. Entire front end needs to be rebuilt, wiring harnesses need to be replaced, engine needs some major work, traction control system has an issue that I canāt pinpoint, every single error light is flashing, one of the wheels is crackedā¦ I guess thatās what happens when you put 175k miles on a car and never do any maintenance work.Havenāt committed yet but thinking about turning the ranger into an offroading monsterā¦ It currently has a 3.5ā lift on 33s. Itās my daily driver so I didnāt go nuts with a big lift and bigger tires.
We recently purchased the mother-in-lawās Honda civic and Iāll be using that to commute to work from now on. Iāve been considering turning the ranger into a project truckā¦ Bigger lift, 35 or 37 tires, regearing the transmission, total suspension rebuildā¦ Basically turning it into a crawler. Still undecided
Wondering if the other vehicles using the 10R80 are known to have as many issues??
There were a few modern Explorers there as well, But I dunno what transmission they use?
The transmission went completely out at 180k miles on my sons Tahoe. The first two transmissions they put in failed within two months. Finally on the third try, the put yet another transmission with a billet torque converter out of a 2500 truck and it lasted several years until he decided to go deer hunting on the way to work one morning and totaled that beautiful Tahoe. They were using junk rebuilt torque converters in the first two.
what did you think 4L stood for?
It's the little things in life!
Now try premium and watch it really take off!
I ran two of the 44 fuel treatments and backed that up with three tanks of 93. It rubs better than it ever has since new. Itās screaming now. Even at 148,000.
