My first car in HS was a 1951 Ford. Not my car but it looked just like this. Originally it had a flathead 6 cylinder engine. I managed to blow that up and put in a 53 Merc flathead V8. Sure wish I still had that car.

Cool, Glad that worked out for you. If you need TPMS sensors the Motorcraft TPMS42 is what you need. Available on Amazon.

I found one on ebay. I wanted to make my spare a road wheel. Here is a set of 4 with free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2019-2021-FORD-RANGER-17-ALLOY-WHEELS-LUGS-OEM-10230-CHARCOAL-GRAY/184573553315?epid=14032521119&hash=item2af970eaa3:g:K2cAAOSwmRVfiKj2

Mine does that occasionally. Generally though not when I sit for a minute or so to let the fluids circulate and let things start to warm up. Been in the teens here too.

Yes. I traded in a 2019 JLU Sport for a 2020 Ranger XLT FX4. It was lightly modded with Rubicon suspension and 255/75 tires. It had the 3.6L engine and manual transmission. It saw a fair amount of time exploring the NV desert but I did not rock crawl on purpose. I wanted something more...

Wow! The oil viscosities are sure taking a beating in these engines considering the low miles on the oil. Even Doc's with no apparent fuel dilution. Are you guys changing your own oil? I would almost suspect some dealers are using 5w-20. I'll be changing oil on my Ranger soon and plan on...

My Dealer charged me 3 hrs labor for the front struts R&R. I used my points from the purchase of the truck so out of pocket was $168. The local Goodyear dealer charged me $98 for the alignment. I did the rear shocks myself.

Every time I get out in the desert it's a great day. I'm fortunate to live out here.

Lol. Ok, that was funny. Never saw the movie but I will now. ETA: Project Shoal was detonated at Goat Flat. This is about 50 miles east of my home. A couple of miles east of the marker is a Navy bombing range. I used to work there many years ago in the USN. Pretty cool when the 500...

Guess that went over my head. No idea what you're talking about.

Just a couple of pictures from a short excursion yesterday in the NV desert. The Ranger did good..

Mine does that too. First time I had the engine running with the hood open I was seriously thinking WTF. Not really noticeable with the hood closed.

Wait! What bumper is that? Oh, sounds good. Generally I hate loud 4 cylinder engines but that's not bad.

They're okay. They have enough platform that I can step on them to wash the windshield or roof. I'm tall enough I really don't need them to get in and out of my Ranger. The main reason I got them was for rocker protection on gravel roads and rock protection. They also sell a version that is...

This. I like my Ranger well enough but it if started causing me the level of aggravation some of you are seeing it would be gone pretty quick.

OP, these are the running boards I got. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/DSS0368T-2019-Ranger-Crew-Cab-Go-Rhino-Dominator-DSS-Cab-Length-Side-Steps-Textured-Black.html

Still running the FX4 shocks? After I installed the Ford Performance/Fox shocks and struts I noticed a dramatic improvement in towing stability when hauling my travel trailer. I still have the stock Hankook tires set to 35 psi.

I came of age in the days of 3k mile oil changes. I ignore oil monitors and my habit for years is 5k oil and filter changes. I use synthetic oil and a quality filter. At the same time I rotate the tires. Sometimes I'll send an oil sample off for analysis. I didn't care for factory running...

You'll need metric. ETA: Come to think of it you will be better served with having both on hand. The truck will be mostly metric but aftermarket accessories could be SAE. I keep both in my off-road tool box.

I believe the water pump is belt driven on the left side, front of the block.
