lol he harvested the pieces. IDK why that just sounds funny. Anyway, hopefully he pays for being a no good bastard. With tech these days I'd rather take the possible increase in my insurance than risk a probable hit and run. Who knows maybe he has an active warrant or something.

also the claim that 91/93 gives better mpg is not always true. Actually I find it often to make a fairly small difference. Some vehicles more than others. And like I've said like 5 times now there is a very small chance your'e gonna notice the difference in the way the truck runs "seat of the...

the OP probably did experience what he stated. It is rare but possible to get bad gas from a station. Now imagine going from 84 octane gas with phase separation(when the ethanol separates from the gas) to fresh 91 octane. Not saying that's what happened though. And like I said before if he's...

this thread should just be closed. Google is a great tool, a caveman can easily deduce from a few searches that a forced induction engine (turbo for you simple folk) likes 91 better than 87 but if your'e a cheapskate you will be fine running 87 unless you are going to be in a situation where you...

i said exactly that

like i said you most likely aren't going to feel any difference from the driver's seat. Most likely the only time you could tell is in certain conditions such as high elevation or heavy towing. if you dumped a cup of water down your oil fill you probably wouldn't be able to notice anything...

This post right here shows how damn little you know about engines. I'm not even gonna explain it to you. And no I didn't block you but maybe I should have you go around this whole site acting like a jerk and you have even posted you like the drama that's why you come here. Are you narcissistic a...

Do you ever pass anyone? What is it that makes you so miserable anyway? All over this site I see you always arguing.

With the stock ECU timing will only change with different octanes if the engine starts to detonate. Slight detonation isn't noticeable by the driver but the sensor catches it and retards the timing. These newer ECU's might even cut down throttle position in these instances. That's what's nice...

Premium gas often has additives to help prevent carbon build up. Also, because the Ranger engine is forced induction higher octane fuel burns slower and more stable which these type of engines like. I really don't care what other's do if they don't want to run premium then don't but me...

anyone that knows anything about engines knows a turbocharged hi-performance engine will run better and cleaner with premium gas. It's a fact. Me and many others out there have proven this on dynos many, many times over. Here is a [particular test with the Ranger...

probably. I doubt sensors like these require calibration but with new technology it doesn't hurt to look into it and make sure.

Many engines don't require or benefit much if at all from high octane fuel but the ecoboost engines will most certainly run better on premium fuel as will any turbocharged engine. It is also better for the engine as lower quality fuel burns more erratic and can even cause detonation in extreme...

gotta agree here. that truck is really stupid that is some extreme negative camber. Also the LS engine makes me wanna puke. It's the builder's choice what he does but to me an LS engine in a Ford is just asinine. I don't get why ppl like that engine so much anyway it's a push rod OHV 2 valve...

Im only guessing but the dealer might need to calibrate them.

sadly, there are many manufacturers who don't heed that law.

I am also lucky to have a wonderful dealer. They are totally ok with me doing my own maintenance as long as I keep a record. Caskinette/Lofink Ford Carthage NY

Ya i just have to modify how i get in. I get in kinda weird because I hurt my back in the military. I put my right foot on the running board(after market round bars) and then put my left leg forward up on the door jam (i think that's what you call it, its where it says ranger) and swing my right...

ahh your'e making me cringe at that thought! The sound the wiper makes as it drags across the dirty dry windshield is horrible too, for me it's like fingernails on a chalk board. Your'e right this is a very dangerous situation. It happened to me last winter driving on a 350 mile round trip. I...

lol i was gonna say where can i get some of that stuff
