so true dash cams are a wonderful investment. I got one at walmart for 20 bucks it stays attatched to the windshield and records in a loop at 720p which is plenty good enough for me. my worst nightmare when it comes to driving is getting in an accident because of someone else. I grew up on a...

I had a Mercury Topaz 5speed coupe which correct me if I'm wrong, is the Mercury version of the Tempo. I had T4 turbo hooked up on it and it was an absolute beast being how light the car was. Mine also had the Vulcan V6 rather than the 4 cylinder. IDK if the coupe also came with a 4 cyl or not.

We had a ranger on the farm with the 2.9 and a 4 speed it had plenty enough power for a small truck we towed full hay wagons and ripped out big thorn apple trees no problem. Actually my aunt and grandpa still have the truck at their house and use it to haul firewood. Never been rebuilt the...

that's really cool! Neat little engine.

I actually didn't know the 1.6 had ohv I just missspoke or misspelled if you will. I think I'll look up that 1.6 though that's probly a neat little engine although I'm sure it's a slug. You don't see many ohv straight 4's. Also I do know the Mazda L engine is an evolution of the older L 4 cyl...

your'e right i meant OHC that's my bad. Still they have practically nothing in common. and basic OHC is totally different than DOHC with variable cam timing. If I remember correctly the 2.3 in the pinto had a cast iron head and block. I'd be surprised if they had one single part in common...

by bouncy do they mean the front, rear, or the whole truck? I agree that the rear, especially when hitting bumps on a corner can be bouncy/chatter but its very hard to get a leaf spring rear end to not do that unless you have really good shock absorbers. The Fx4's are decent but designed to work...

ya how is that?

so true! I test drove a 2018 Tacoma and the seats were so uncomfortable I couldn't wait to get out of it. I do have back problems though and Toyotas seem to have a permenant lumbar or something that drives me crazy while Fords lumbar can be deflated to sink right back in. I have owned dozens of...

that couldn't be more wrong. One of the big differences is the Pinto engine is overhead valve and the ecoboost is dual overhead cam this alone is a huge difference. The old Pinto engine was designed by Ford Europe and was replaced by the Mazda derived Duratec engine.

you mean before you move over? Mine seems to start accelerating after I am about half way into the other lane.

hmm weird mine said Cleveland

Did you have anything done to the Mazda Rotary? An RX7? I love rotary engines even though they are finicky, burn tons of gas/oil, and aren't very reliable especially the apex seals. I had an old snowmobile with a single rotor Wankel rotary engine. I love the Ford straight 6's too my first truck...

I totally agree a tune would be a much better buy for the money but I think we all have went the cosmetic route lol. I bought the turbosmart blow off valve just for the sound lol. Really though when I decide to up the boost the turbosmart BOV is much better than stock.

oh i see... I'll admit I don't know anything about California and their crazy emissions except I'll never live there.

wait is this just a air box top cover and filter? Oh and the intake boot... LMAO that price is insane. The aFe air intake kit is a way better deal. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/53-10021R-2019-Ranger-2-3L-Ecoboost-aFe-Power-Quantum-Pro-5R-Cold-Air-Intake.html

I could be wrong but I think aFe's is for sale to Cali residents. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/53-10021R-2019-Ranger-2-3L-Ecoboost-aFe-Power-Quantum-Pro-5R-Cold-Air-Intake.html

I got my set on eBay for under 100 dollars and it claims they are OEM Ford but IDK if they really are. They were easy to install but you do have to drill a few holes for the little black pop in thingies. All four also use one stock bolt on the bottom part of the fender are on there really solid...

I havent had any issues yet with my Hankooks. Drove through the worst rainstorm of my entire life a month or so ago on the throughway and I never felt safer driving in a storm. This truck makes me so comfortable I absolutely love it. As for snow/ice I have found I can drive on roads with a base...

I've been a motorhead my whole life. Totally screwed up trying to rebuild my first dirt bike at 8 years old but got it the second time, by 13 I was porting and doing other mods and by the time i was 17 i think my porting might have actually made power rather than making things worse LOL! I then...
