Twenty miles of driving to get it good and hot. Parked on flat ground. Idling in park. Pulled and wiped the stick. Reinserted until it was fully seated. The stick came out dry except for a tiny bit at the very tip below the bottom twist.
I've owned this truck since new , and it has always been...
Installed my dip stick yesterday. What a great kit! Very well thought out and complete. As I suspected, I was down one full quart. The funnel is so good! Shame on Ford for not including a dip stick.
Good luck with Belltech. Their customer service is terrible. I can't speak for other brands or models of truck, but they do not care about Ranger owners.
I'm strictly a street driver, so that's not an issue. I would really enjoy being able to accelerate from a stop without traction control kicking in. Southern California is rotten with sports cars, and electric vehicles that are crazy quick. I'm just trying to survive!
So, Eaton is offering a limited slip. Anybody gone down this road yet. I am very interested.

Belltech customer service is just plain terrible. They are unresponsive, and uncaring of your problems. It is up to you, the customer, to push them along to a resolution.
Mine is rear wheel drive. Belltech flip kit and lowering struts. Had a small vibration during strong acceleration. Installed 2 degree shims which almost eliminated the vibration. I have some 3 degree shims Iām going try. No vibration other than during acceleration, even at 80+ highway cruising.
Eibach springs!!! Are those stock height? Iām here to tell you the stock springs on Belltech lowering struts makes for an interesting ride. Wayyyy better than a lowered import car ride, but still not great.
The ride is always going to suffer when you lower a vehicle. Five inch drop in the rear feels ok, but the 2.5ā drop in the front is abrupt and somewhat bouncy. I am hoping someone will offer a drop spindle.
Those emblems are the best thing ever. So happy I took a chance with them. https://www.cjponyparts.com/name-plate-bedside-ranger-f-100-1967-1969/p/EMBS10/?year=1968
Stock bumper. I think itās just the angle of the picture. And please donāt give me any ideas! I think Iām done messing with my truck. Itās just the way I want it (for now?āāļø)
