  1. Rant: Cooling systems weakest link - Mech Fan

    Just wanted to rant, this is what my temps looked like after having to idle at my kids school for 28min in 108F temps. 230F coolant right before I left the parking lot, 201F cylinder head and 220F trans, 29PSI oil pressure. That temp gauge is still below half way on the IC so it makes you wonder...
  2. High flow downpipe = gas smell?

    The younger me would be so disappointed in this message, but I picked up a used SPD downpipe and have LOVED the performance, I was shocked how much of a difference it made without a tune but the downside is the truck now has a pretty solid gas smell unless the Cat is super warm. That part...
  3. Review - AAWireless Two - Wireless Android Auto

    I just want to give the AAWireless Two a huge positive 5 of 5 review. It not only made Android Auto wireless possible, it allows for you to change the DPI setting which added features to Google Maps (Incident Reporting). They have a lot of custom settings to really make it work the way you want...
  4. Starlink Mini - it's awesome

    Hello, Just wanted to share that I just finished our first road trip with the Starlink Mini mounted to the truck and it worked great.

  5. Cabin Filter Test - No Filter, Purolator Carbon, Wix Stock and K&N

    Summer is here and I wanted to see which filter allowed for most airflow. Noticed a reduction when I went to a carbon one in the winter due to the truck smelling like shop from being there 2 months. The Purolator Boss did a great job with the smell but lowered output over the stock one. So, here...

  7. Android Auto map "add a report" feature coming?

    Hello, Curious if anyone has any insight to this? I never cared until I had the feature in an f150 loaner and my wife's Pilot (with my phone). Way of giving back on road trips where I see something on the road. Been trying to download a sync update the last few days but seems to fail due to...

  9. Engine Replacement at 50k Miles - rod bearing

    Hello, I am hesitant to even make this thread because it seems like such a freak rare thing to happen. Put I wanted to share that my 2021 Tremor with 50k miles is getting a replacement long block due to a spun rod bearing in cylinder 4. I have to say that Ford Country has made this as...
  10. Vehicle Nannies are ANNOYING in new vehicles

    Holey smokes, So while I am in a loaner for my truck being in the shop, I was surprised by how annoying the seat belt warning is on this new Escape they have me in. Picking up my kids, cruising through the lot it seems to kick on around 5mph. Then my wife's 2023 Pilot is horrible with them...
  11. Boost reading in ScanGauge 2 correct?

    Hello, I recently started monitoring boost once I learned the ScanGauge 2 can monitor it. I am wondering if it is right though, I have seen a max of 25psi when smashing on it when merging onto the hwy. Quick check online says our engines do 16-18psi? When the engine is off, key on it does show...
  12. 5G vs 6G Ranger pricing nuts or just me?

    Ok, I went down the rabbit hole of looking at the Ranger Raptor videos so now I am getting all kinds of 2024 Ranger videos in my YouTube feed. Looks aside, I feel like the price is a large jump year over year or am I just getting old? lol The Raptor is the only one that I feel is priced...

    Hello, I have been looking at brake kits as I am sure my brakes will be due soon and figure why not go with bigger brakes. Has anyone run the Wilwood kit on their Ranger? My Ranger happens to be a Tremor. I tow a bit too but honestly, the upgrade is not necessary, this is just for the fun of...

    Hey all, For those that did the CF Steering wheel, how has owner ship been with it? Any pictures to share will be great. Curious how well they age and if the CF stays looking nice over the years. With the new gen Rangers coming out, I feel like I should just pull the trigger already before...
  15. Bed Lighting - Gave in and went battery powered

    Wanted to share my experience since I have been procrastinating for about 2yrs now for wired bed lighting. Gave in and hit Amazon and searched for wireless RGB lights.

  16. WeatherTech Window Deflector Question

    Hello, Just installed the WeatherTech window deflectors front and rear. My question is if you guys used the metal clip for the front windows? I can't see the reason for it and using it added a bit of force to close fully so I was hesitant to leave it in. I removed it and the front visors seem...

    2021 Ranger XLT Tremor ~28k miles Hello, Since it cooled here in the Vegas area (lows under 50f) the truck is basically always entering deep sleep when it is parked. I try to use the remote start to warm the engine up ahead of time but even the scheduled starts don't work due to the deep...

  19. PSA: 2021 Ranger XLT Tremor Alignment Specs

    Hello, Since it seems so hard to find shops with their alignment software updated, my buddy sent me the specs off his Hunter alignment machine (Central Tire Service #5 In Inglewood, CA). Seems like Caster and Toe are a little different than the normal 4x4 specs.
