Hello! Up next on my upgrade list is to install a 1 piece Tom Woods driveshaft. I've searched around the forums a bit but couldn't find anyone that had a step by step guide or video for removing the old driveshaft then installing the new. Is there a guide or video someone can point me to...

Thank you gentlemen! I'll need to remove the FX-4 skid plate as well, so I'll take the crossmember plate off too. I also have my safety hockey puck on the jack to prevent damage.

Dumb question, but I want to make sure before putting the truck up on jack stands. Is it ok to jack up the truck from the crossmember? Or should I jack up each side individually from the lower control arm beneath the strut? Thank you!

How was replacing the bolts of the LCA? Did you unbolt the UCA from the knuckle to position it back in?

Using this video as a guide: Looks like when he reassembles around the 9 minute mark, he removes the upper control arm from the knuckle for leverage and then is able to use a jack to get the lower control arm back into place. Always looks easier on video! Haha

Dude, THANK YOU! I did not know about this method until you linked the thread above. It looks like as long as I mark the bolts for how they were, it shouldn't be an issue. Definitely leaning towards this method opposed to disassembling everything else. Autozone is going to be getting a lot...

Going to be installing the Eibach stage 2 leveling kit and in my due diligence of research I came across 2 very helpful videos: Video 1: Video 2: In video 1 the mechanic leaves on the caliper and rotor which would obviously save me some time compared to video 2 where both are removed. When...

UPDATE 6: Received the truck back with the rebuilt transmission. SA advised me it may drive a little strange for the next 100-500 miles as the TCU relearns. Unfortunately, I now have a completely new issue when I come to a stop. It feels like something is loose and clunks hard after the...

UPDATE 5: After tearing apart the transmission, and submitting the photos/info to Ford corporate; they advised the shop to perform a complete transmission rebuild. Looks like I'll be out a truck for another week minimum. Truck was originally dropped off on President's day. I did ask the SA...

Makes sense, my last vehicle was stick shift and slipping the clutch was always at the sacrifice of clutch longevity. Glad to read I can flash between the two and see which I like better.

Different in soft shift vs non soft would be how abrupt the shifts feel?

Reading this got me HYPED! What kind of performance gains do you see with a cold air intake vs without?

Appreciate that! From what I read Torrie frequents the boards, or at least used to. Do they offer a 91 octane tune? Or any specific tune you recommend of their choices?

Thank you for the advice! How many miles do you think is a good break in before tuning?

Hello all! As some of you may have seen in the other thread, my Ranger is currently at the dealership getting the transmission warrantied. During this down time I thought, why not look into tuning choices? It's something I've been contemplating but want to pull the trigger on soon. I'm...
