They use a high pressure/high temperature oil fog/spray that creeps onto the gaps. They treat all the hollow body panels as well as the undercarriage. It drips pretty bad for a few days after, and after that it seeps out a bit on hot days. When working on the underside of the truck afterward it...

This is more reassurance for my decision to take my Ranger to a Krown dealer for their rust preventative service as soon as possible after it was delivered to my dealer. I will be having it re-treated annually.

And 3”. This is absolutely correct! I was thinking about the 3" being with Eibach Springs.

On the front, zero” (OEM height), 0.75”, 1.50” and 2.25” by moving the circlip. On the rear, the shocks do not add lift, but will accommodate up to 1.00” lift blocks.

"265 is 265.. The sidewall height will be different but both tires will be 10.4 inches wide." My apologies, am still learning new things. I thought that the width would be slightly different with a different aspect ratio.

With 265/70R17 tires on the Raptor wheels there should be adequate clearance without spacers since these are slightly narrower than the 265/65R17s I will be running. I figure to have somewhere around 1/4" clearance and these will be a summer wheel/tire setup. For the winter I will be using my...

What I am understanding is if a set of wheels with TPMS sensors are rotated, their I.D. Numbers are stored and can re-set their relative positions, but if another set of wheels with different I.D. Numbers are put on, Ford’s procedure (Airing Down or Sensor Tool) are required. Edit: Since...

I actually bought some 10mm grade 10.9 bolts, but the flange and washer diameters were too small. Edit: I found the bolts and 2.5mm thick x 30mm O.D. washers at Fastenal.

I have not felt the vibration at takeoff, but on a smooth road I have definitely felt the driveshaft vibration. As has been suggested by our Australian member, 4Wheeler, this vibration seems to be related to the relative lift and resulting driveshaft angle. I noticed that Ford has placed 8mm...

I have realized as others have, that the driveshaft vibration may not be related to the driveshaft phasing. As the Dana-Spicer document indicates, some driveshafts are "phased" by design. As has been suggested by our Australian member, 4Wheeler, this vibration seems to be related to the...

I don’t have 18” wheels, but I put on a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 tires and I am very happy with them (265/65R17). They even have the Three Peak Winter/Snow rating.

I ordered a set of front and rears from Amazon, which were shipped directly from Eibach, except with free shipping. They arrived almost two weeks earlier than estimated.

I posted this before, but I still like PolarBear’s solution to exhaust in “I went with Magnaflow”. Better flow for the turbo, OEM look and a bit deeper sound.

While I originally put the Yokohama Geolander A/Ts on intending to run them through the New England winters, I am now putting them on a set of Ranger Raptor wheels. From reading a lot of reviews, I will be putting Hankook i-Pike RW11s on my original wheels for winter. They rate quite well, and...

Here is an Instruction Sheet .pdf of the Center Bearing Shim Kit that 4Wheeler from Austrailia mentioned. Each shim in the kit is 4mm or 5/32" thick. Ironman 4X4 is an Austrailian company, but they have a distributer in Oregon. https://ironman4x4america.com

For my 2 cents worth, I would highly reccomend Yokohama Geolander AT G015. I am running these now and am very happy with them. Their sipe pattern looks to be able to handle the slippery winter conditions. These also have the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating. This is not a new model and there...

Here is an Instruction Sheet .pdf of the Center Bearing Shim Kit that 4Wheeler from Austrailia mentioned in his posting in the Vibration at Takeoff Thread. Each shim in the kit is 4mm or 5/32" thick. Ironman 4X4 is an Austrailian company, but they have a distributer in Oregon...

As this is “Ford Performance”, perhaps the two holes are for rapid pit stop fluid changes. Squirt the fluid into the top hole until it flows out the bottom hole, insert plugs and GO!

For the benefit of this discussion I am adding a photo of our center bearing. It is not the best photo, but it is all I have at the moment. Regarding the rectangular zinc chromate coated spacers that were pictured, do we have a part number for these? There was a PN referenced, but that kit...

Maybe, but they went through many iterations of fixes: Different fluids, Torque Converters, Special Flush machinery and Processes, etc. All this when they already had the Ford/Gm designed 10 Speed availlable. Anyways this went on for about 5-6 years.
