I feel the same way. If they can do one for a 2.3EB crate engine, I feel like the Ranger wouldn't be a problem but what do I know about computers.

I emailed them about a week ago and a guy named Chan replied the same "no current plans" for me as well. Too bad! You'd think theyd have some knowledge on them at this point.

I always use an impact to get the nut off and sometimes even back on. The Fox's are priced well for what you get but they all do about the same thing. I dropped several grand on a set of coilovers once and realized I would have been equally happy with a spring/strut combo, but I'm a SUCKER for...

The Bilsteins would require disassembly. Are you installing yourself? If it were me, I'd get a shop to take the springs off and on for you. They should have equipment that does this, not some janky spring compressor. The Fox's are different. The shock body is threaded allowing the lower spring...

+1 for OME suspension and towing if you want to lift the entire truck but keep the rake. Alternatively, the Bilstein 5100 kit is all 4 shocks for less than $400 and can apparently be adjusted from 0-3" in the front. No rear adjustment. From what I've read, the Bilsteins are damped more firmly...

Ceratec and moly get talked about a lot over on bitog but those are really the only two I've seen that might be worth anything. It's really difficult to formulate much of an opinion beyond what's available in a google search. I've seen seemingly very intelligent people's very well informed...

Is there an Auto climate setting? If so, does it manipulate the hvac controls per some logic? If the blend mechanism was stuck or binding, maybe it'd make that noise.

Who knows the AFR targets for the stock tune? I wonder if tuned trucks run a lot leaner.

Sorry about your bad luck. Most engines have some weak links and it can take getting a bunch of them out in the field to gather that sort of data. Plenty of guys on another platform I'm familiar with had their engines literally vent blocks all of a sudden just cruising on the interstate. The...

Yeah, that seems to be the prevailing trend with these types of tuned and even stock motors. Bad gas, too much knock, powder forged rods, etc. I'm in general agreement with you that your own wallet is the best source of insurance on a tuned engine. Pick up a built block, find someone to install...

This was my first vehicle. My parents bought it for me when I was 14 and I want to say they paid around 5 grand for it. We sold it for a '56 chevy pickup that my dad spent a lot of money on restoring and it became more of a "family" car at that point. They gave me 10 grand for it about 10 years...

Unless my logic is incorrect, I think the tow tune is more about the transmission programming than the engine programming. I could be totally wrong about this but someone probably knows.. And side note, instead of messing with a V6, you can install a 2 liter block punched out to 2.3L and really...

What are you seeing as the primary failure mode on the Stang forums? Just broken rods and pistons from non-vigilant owners or is something else at work like a weak link somewhere?

@Project Midnight What were the conditions immediately prior to the oil light coming on? Were you driving in the city, interstate? Just get done doing WOT pulls? Were you accelerating at a low rpm/high load? How do your logs look? Any lean conditions or abnormal fuel pressure drop? Any codes...

Meeting with prospective buyers this week for this thing. Getting rid of it and my daily and getting a new ranger. Wish me luck!

Holy crap mate. Bet that thing rips. This on 93? Side note, interesting to see how much richer the stock looking tune runs. Post up some vids!

Nice job man! Glad you got it sorted.

Ahh I see now that you're running a lot of torque down low now. Do you ever do any datalogs? The truck must absolutely rip.

It's my understanding that the injectors on these run out before the fuel pump does. You could log injector duty cycle to find out but you'd have to be pushing things pretty hard to see where IDC hits 100. It would also be interesting to monitor the commanded fuel pressure and the actual fuel...

This may sound ridiculous but sometimes you can stretch the spring inside the coil pack, conservatively, for more affirmative contact with the plug. I have done this. Otherwise, just cram that coil pack down in the plug well and get it seated!
