Thanks! My Ford/Fox kit arrived yesterday. I have the space, tools and knowledge to do the install. I've done plenty of lifts on JK and JL Wranglers and even a Nissan Frontier but this axle shaft thing on the Ranger is my biggest concern.

I'm guessing you didn't have the axle nut removed when doing the installation?

My Kit arrived today. I have the space, knowledge and tools to install the kit. My plan is to make an appointment for an alignment with a local shop I trust then install the kit the day prior to the appointment. Thanks Benny.

In the Nissan Frontier world I seem to recall it was recommended to do a transmission drain and fill around every 25,000 miles or so. It took 4 qts for a drain and fill. I like this idea. In the Nissan Frontier world it was recommended to do a drain and fill about every 25,000 miles. It...

I've mentioned this in another thread and this seems like a good place to do it again. I had a K&N filter on a TJ Jeep Wrangler. It spent a lot of time exploring the NV desert. I can't explain how nasty pulverized dust is. Anyway, I pulled the filter once to check it. The dust layer behind...

Sounds like our local Jiffy Lube and Walmart Automotive department. They have both had to pay for new motors.

Awesome! Thank You Benny.

Order # is 700004948 Thank You Benny

Wait! What? I placed my order a month ago. No offense but I'll be a little unhappy if yours has shipped and mine hasn't.

Not real funny but around 1980 I changed the oil & filter on a friend's car. The new in box Fram filter had the gasket cut uneven and was unusable. As someone else said, now I always check oil filters in the store before taking them home.

Anyone know if the points can be used to service a different Ford vehicle? For instance, I have a 2010 Fusion due for an oil change and would like to use them for it. I normally change my own oil but it's a real PITA on the Fusion as it's so low and has access covers that need to be removed.

I went with the Rhino liner. It was $550 plus tax in Carson City.

I like it and think it's priced fair for what you get. Consider by the time someone (me) gets an FX4 package ($1295) , a Ford Performance Fox Suspension ($1495), decent off-road tires ($1,200-$1,500) you're going to be getting close to the package price and still not have all the features. A...

You may be right about 2% being an arbitrary number for Blackstone and truthfully that is the reason I used it. ETA: I found this Amsoil article that puts the limit at 2.4% for gas engines. https://blog.amsoil.com/what-is-fuel-dilution-and-why-is-it-bad/ I also found an RSA article on Oil...

Based on the wear metals I suspect your engine has not been harmed yet and would likely be fine if Ford could ever figure this out. The 2.3L EB engine has been around for a while. You would think the bugs would be pretty much worked out. Like you, I like my truck. I'm kind of dreading...

Wear metals look good. Viscosity is low for a 5w-30 or even a 5w-20. It should be around 10 cSt. Fuel dilution is high as you know. Should be less that 2% and lower is better. I didn't see flashpoint but would assume that is low also because of the fuel.

Awesome! Thanks!

Same thing I was going to ask. Trans temp is not on the XLT dash screens and not available on my Torque app. I would love to have that information when I tow my small travel trailer.

I typically don't name my vehicles but when the Ford Pass app asked for a name I figured I had to come up with something. Ricky. My truck is Ricky Ranger. Lol.

I like my XLT dash for the most part but do wish there was a couple more screens for vehicle information. I sometimes tow a small travel trailer and explore the desert on a regular basis. Screens showing coolant temp, oil pressure, oil temp and transmission temp would be nice. My JL...
