  1. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    Sadly, I had a motor blow up on a BMW X5 that we bought brand new at 55,000 miles. They wanted $36,000 for it to be replaced, but they paid for the majority of it. That was BMW though. We had all the maintenance records, and I think they paid about 90%. The dealer paid a little bit and I ended...
  2. Experience with Livernois Motorsports

    I didn’t know that- excellent information. If I ever do install a tune I will look at them first - thank you.
  3. Experience with Livernois Motorsports

    My 2 cents...long term, some of these companies that start out great run can into problems whether their fault or not, and customer service/tech support can drop of the cliff. I don't have a tune, but I'm not sure if I planned to keep the truck a long time (several years) that I would put one...
  4. Has Anyone Upgraded Their Headlights ?

    Are the headlights an upgrade on the Tremor? I can’t remember.
  5. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Nice. My BIL had a surf shop on C street in Ventura, back in the late 60's early seventys. I think there was a shop right across from him, they made Morey-Pope boards there. We would stay at his shop on the weekends and surf. I still remember the smell of the sex wax. Good times.
  6. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Beautiful pictures- nice country. Thanks for sharing.
  7. I keep using Fordpass points...

    I wonder how long that dealership will be in business…
  8. Ford Performance Tune - questions

    The description states that the maximum size tires is 265's. That would be a deal killer unless its only to cover their liability.
  9. Fires in California

    Believe me, us Californians are grateful for all your help- we certainly don't get it from our politicians. I'm a couple hours north of there but I know the area fairly well and it's devastating to see. I don't think we know the scope of the damage yet, in the billions I'm sure. Maybe this...
  10. First Snow Experience

    Studded snow tires. I had them when I lived in Utah and they were great on my old Volvo. Go over Parley’s summit with 8” of snow on the highway in the middle of the night (I worked a swing shift), no problem.
  11. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Went back in the hills yesterday- still a fair amount of water even though we haven’t got much rain .
  12. Dashcam Wiring

    I thought I would check with those that have installed a dashcam to see how difficult it is - I purchased a Viofo A119 Mini 2 (forward only- I want to wire it up for parked video and got the wiring for that as well). I can do a fair amount of stuff, but am wondering if it is straightforward, or...
  13. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Hey, he frightens us here in California! Fortunately his record here is such that all people have to do is look at California’s issues, and if he (I.e., when) decides to run for president, it will likely be a hard no by everyone else. I’m done now, sorry about the rant.
  14. The last straw?

    Interesting choice! Good luck with that and hopefully that one will give you many happy miles.
  15. Finally joined the gang

    So, it was the damper that lured you here, not the Tremor? Hmm, interesting…
  16. I’m too tall!

    I ended up getting this- the topperez thing looks pretty good but pricey. This one was a little over $200, not so bad. After reading the reviews I got the full size one - it’s a little poochy on the sides but there’s enough room for the hatch to stay open. Overall it’s easy to set up, comes...
  17. impressions on the competition-

    Agreed. But he is retired, it’s just him and his wife now; however, there are times that someone will sit in the back seat and usually they are old and stiff like me. I tried to talk him into an F150 Raptor but at 93k plus tax and license for a vehicle that’s meant to be beat on, he said he...
  18. impressions on the competition-

    He is looking at the Ranger Raptor- I think the msrp is around 63 grand.
  19. impressions on the competition-

    A buddy of mine is getting tired of constantly working on his 2017 Ram Laramie diesel 4x4 that he has dumped tons of money in- he's at 180,000 miles, he drives it hard, and it is not doing well. He likes my Tremor, so we went to look at that class of trucks on Saturday. The first one we looked...
  20. Lower the rear end of my 2019 FX4

    On the F 150's you can get lowering shackles to level your 4WD, which I ended up doing on mine - but on a Ranger, your only option is to raise the front end.
