  1. Is anyone else really affected by winter blend?

    I've also seen a drop in mileage, though I contribute it to my use of auto start during the -20F days. This engine loves to suck fuel at idle and when it is auto-started it is running at a higher rpm as well. Once I'm in and hit the button the rpm comes down.
  2. Rear cam vs. License Plate Lights

    Suggestions I can offer is tilting your license plate to reduce reflection or apply a flat clear coat to reduce the reflection. Modifying the license plate lights with some JB weld to reduce upward glare is also an option.

  4. "Safe" towing limit without trailer brakes

    *coughs* 2000+ lbs of water, backed uphill no issue. Pulled wonderfully, just have to be careful with brake distances.
  5. Rangers on a hill

    My dealership did not have any of the kits available for the warranty repair. Said if I brought mine in next time for service they had to do an inspection first before even getting anything in.
  6. Stop/start question.

    Wish I could answer with certainty but I've noticed that the start stop is pretty selective when it operates for me as well. During short trips, up to a mile, it might activate on one or two of the five stops. Warm engine or not. I think there is a time delay between the start stop function...
  7. Sarge's Magnetic Ranger

    Thank you, we try to do different set ups every year, next year I've had requests that I do my tunnel again and put on my "Peter Rotten Tail" costume. All I can say is, you get what you asked for! We only have two simple rules, you must make it to the Butcher shop, and you must say the words...

    Happy All Hallows Eve! 466 souls visited the Butchers shop last night! Few pictures from the fun last night.
  9. Headlight switch position!

    IMHO, Using the running boards when getting into the ranger I seem to hit the headlight switch when getting in. This causes all sorts of hate and discontent when I shut off the vehicle, some times with out putting it in park (I've driven manual for most my life), and then I get to play "what did...

  11. 13.77 quarter mile on first outting!!

    Normally I can go around the water box and with my off road tires I've not had much in the way of slipping even with traction control off in 2wd. I would be concerned with power loss trying to run all four tires but to be honest I've not tried 4-high at the track. I'm also not doing it seriously...
  12. 13.77 quarter mile on first outting!!

    Great run, though you make me feel a lot better about my own tree times ;). Keep it up and have fun with it!
  13. Sarge's Magnetic Ranger

    Hahah! I heard the south east NA is getting cold temps of 87 degrees this weekend! The wife and my furry co-pilot are going to go play in the snow at the cabin this weekend. Babb MT received 55", we received a little over a foot, and twenty miles south by the cabin in the "actual" mountains...
  14. Sarge's Magnetic Ranger

    Bit of snow last weekend. Was a bit under the weather so I'm hoping to install the siren and lights this weekend!
  15. WeatherTech mud Flaps

    Like the look, will have to see if my suppliers have some and nab a set for front and rear.
  16. Anyone else invited to the 'Ford Ranger Owners Event'?

    LOL! Some of us mainlanders don't get a chance at the events but the scenery is nice! BTW During my time in service I lived up in Aiea Heights, loved the loop trail up there!
  17. What oil will you be running after your 1st oil change?

    That blog provided a good bit of reading for this slow work day...lol! *From the 540 blog/what I tell my customers* "API SN “Plus” and/or GM dexos1-“Gen 2” certified motor oils are formulated to help minimize the amount of oil rich vapors and oil droplets that are drawn into the intake air...
  18. Music! No CD Player... But A USB Port. Can I transfer my CD's to a Thumbdrive?

    This info was just what I needed. I had no idea I could just use a thumb-drive loaded with mp3's and the vehicle would recognize it. Appreciated!
  19. Updated Android Auto?? What is Taking so long??

    I've got a love hate relationship with Android auto. I'm still trying to find the option for it not to automatically connect when I plug in the phone using the USB power outlets in the vehicle. When it does the only thing I really have to complain about is that my Sirius music goes from...
  20. Sarge's Magnetic Ranger

    Small update, overall MPG is showing increases which is nice. New cover has been installed so I get to see how long this will last. Last time at the track I seem to have figured out a rough ET of 10 sec up to 10.5, of course the driver still needs seat time my tree reaction is abysmal..lol...
