Short version. Changed my oil today, and when I open the oil fill cap, there was some yellowish goop on the inside of the cap. Cleaned it out (didn't think of saving some or a pic---dumb, I know) and proceeded with the oil. Oil looked fine, no "milkshake of death".
Long version with...
Cruising along, 45-50, watching a motorcycle in my rear view mirror....BEEP BEEP BEEP !!!! I look forward, see a car turning (no turn signal), I jump on the brakes, swerved a little to avoid, went onto the shoulder a little, and got around him/her. (wipes sweat from brow) I would have smashed...
First, a caveat---This is how I do it....I've been doing it this way for 7-8 years with very good results. And the best part is I use rattle-cans that anyone can buy. I've had people comment that it looks just as good as the factory paint, even my uncle, and he's a real stickler for detail and...
I'm looking for a complete (4) and undamaged set of Tremor fender flares. Not worried about the replaceable clips that hold it on. Any color is fine since I'll be repainting them.
About a month ago, I had an issue that exhibited the exact same traits as the issue I had about 20 min ago. It will drive fine until you get above 3500-4000 rpm's, then it bucks and stutters. The CEL came on, but after I coasted/babied it to a parking lot, it went away. Got home and checked...
So, I'm driving home about 2 weeks ago, and out of nowhere, the truck kinda jerks...didn't slow me down, just felt it. About 15 min later, it does it again. Once I got into town, I accelerate like I normally do, and it starts bucking and stuttering, the CEL flashes on and off a few times, so I...
With the Belltech lowering kit coming out soon ?, hopefully by early summer, how much will YOU be lowering your Ranger ? With all the info on here, it sounds like we will have 2 options: a 2/4 or a 3/5 and hopefully a rear only drop.
Does anyone know for a fact-- IF you are completely stopped at a STOP sign and the AS-S has the engine off, are the front and rear sensors still active ?
I'm looking to buy a lift such as the one pictured below. Does anyone have/use this type of lift and what do you like or dislike about them ? I know there are quite a few to choose from and I plan buying one that will lift not only the Ranger, but any other vehicle I may own down the road...
So, I had my phone mounted with a Nite Ize steelie on my dash just below the radio screen, but it got some sun and heat, and the 3M tape failed. I wanted something that would hold the phone high, so I went with the RAM vehicle floor mount, the 18" version. I removed one of the seat bolts and...
The center caps that came with my wheels were ok, but had some shiny lettering and since the rest of my truck is blacked out, why not do the wheels too. I found a guy on Etsy that does custom 3-D printing and they were going to be just flat, but with the throw-back sill guard plates on the...
I'm looking to have a set of 4 wheel center caps made (for a fee, of course). I'm not keen on the one's that came with the wheels. Nothing fancy, just replica's with a flat face and they would need to be printed out of something that can be painted. I could send one to you to scan or for...
For those with black or dark colored wheels that want a rigid schrader valve (vs the standard floppy rubber ones), here is a link to them. I'll be using these once I get my wheels.

Is there a way one of the mods can undo the "auto-watch" feature....Just because I replied to a thread, doesn't mean I want to "watch" a particular thread. Thanks !!!
EDIT: Just like this one.....it automatically "watched" this thread......
I got a "Tell us about your Ford Ranger. Engineers want to know." postcard in the mail today. Has a website and code and a chance to win a free iPad. Anyone else get this ???
