Trying to clean out my garage and have a stack of Ranger parts that need to go. I'm looking for someone to take all of it, and I'm not willing to ship it. We'll have to figure up some form of meetup that isn't terribly far from Athens. Wagner Front Brake Rotors Protec/WIX Oil Filters (11...

For the people that are still on the fence about replacing their DPFE sensors, Gears Magazine has an excellent article about another Ford vehicle using the 10R80 and the journey a shop took to fix a transmission problem. https://gearsmagazine.com/magazine/a-10r80-with-p0735-and-p2704-issues/...

Listing in one ad since I'd really like to just ship all of these to one person. 3 - New In Box Standard Motor Products VP41 DPFE Sensors. These are the sensors with the FoMoCo paint scrubbed off of them. Been using them since I replaced my first one and they work great. (These sell for...

If anyone wants a nice 2020 FX2, set up to tow, it will be at Landers McLarty Ford in Fort Payne Alabama, probably next week. Sadly, I won't have time to pull the Clearviews off of it, I was going to sell them for cheap to someone here, but I work the next 3 days, so no time. Someone will be...

Speed him up to at least 1.5x, otherwise it is a really slow video. Couple of things. They seem to be more focused on the higher-torque models, but he says a few things here that I've been preaching for some time regarding the 10R valve bodies. Mainly. It doesn't take much to knock these...

Why am I making a new post? Because @Frenchy put me on ignore and I can't reply to the original one. Very adult like. Sorry admin, but this has to be done. Now. Her motioned digging out a current clamp, well, some of us have those as well. Guess what Frenchy, you are wrong. You've been...

Does it work? - Hell if I know, it should. --EDIT-- Actually, it appears to work pretty well after testing. Material to use - TPU or Nylon - Those two materials should have the best heat resistance to deal with engine bay heat. PLA will turn into a soggy taco in short order. Will I make one...

Most people know that I tend to keep my eye on what the aftermarket is doing with 10R80's in hopes of helping people at least try and stretch the life of their trans a little longer. When the aftermarket came out with upgraded valves for the valve body to address wear, it is pretty safe to...

Good deal if you're looking for a highway biased tire. Not sure what other sizes are available, but this is the size that came on my FX2. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Primacy+LTX&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=665TR7PLTX&tab=Sizes

https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/VAL888460 Good price for a good fluid. At $6.49 it is competitive with Motorcraft. Good time to stock up for the DIY'ers.

Anyone else having issues with pages here crashing their phones? Just started over the weekend. I will go to load a page and it will actually bring the phone to its knees and then crash. Only happens with R5G, none of the other forums I visit, although I think 5G is the only one that uses...

This is just about the lowest price you're going to see on this fluid. I've used it, works just as well as Motorcraft ULV and it is cheaper than RockAuto once you take into account shipping. I think NAPA will ship it to you for free if you order over $35. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/VAL888460

Everyone always recommends replacing the rear shocks on trucks for serious towing duty. That never really sat quite right with me as I'm usually in the 'I prefer a matched set' camp. When I first started towing seriously with the Ranger I upgraded the rear like a lot of other people and...

Decided to tear my old one apart tonight. Answer is, not much. The actual sensor looks to be a tiny strain gauge, which makes sense. When these things were $20 I'd say just replace them, now I'm thinking if maybe a small packet of desiccant inside that tube wouldn't give longer life to it...

Not a pile of people talk about 2WD trucks. So here's a few notes from my Bilstein install toady. - You only need to break the upper ball joint loose, no need to break the tie-rod end. (Pull the brake line and wheel speed sensor lines off first. - Also remove the upper sway bar link bolt. -...

I had a conversation out of the blue with a dude from Australia on another forum and he remarked that the vehicles (Ranger/Everest) with the 10R80 down there come/came with a dipstick and gave me two part numbers. Of course, we can't order them here in the US and online parts searches are meh...

In case anyone wants to look: I had a chance to sit down tonight and whip out some quick and dirty graphs, since I'm a visual learner. Thought I would share those here. This is all data logged by Torque Pro. I don't know why the time is screwy on the 'unloaded without pan' graph, but I don't...

Not sure who, or if anyone will be interested in this, but here it is. Finally got around to weighing the going camping setup. Had the chance today to do it while bringing the camper back from getting some warranty work done. Three things are missing from these weights. The wife and dog...

For those of you who haven't seen one. I've torn apart the filter from my recent change and had a good look at it. Ford really put some effort into making sure that crud stays out of the inner workings of the 10R80, it baffles me why they recommend a 150k regular service interval for it...
