  2. Found my cheap truck I was looking for

    Those, and ones similar, sell used around here, 20-40K miles for about $5-6k
  3. Our Rangers Theft Prone like F- Series? How, and How to Protect?

    I installed a fuel pump cutoff switch on one of my cars back in the 90's. Impossible to start without fuel. Not sure how the electronics nowadays would react. But, its only as good as the operator, need to switch it off to be effective, like locking doors and taking keys...
  4. They want my stoves

    So, we need the government to tell us that running gas stoves, (like me) and non vented gas heaters is bad??? Pretty sure manufacturers already warned us on Owners Manual. Here, in VT, they actually are encouraging us to burn wood and gas. Pushing heat pumps as well, I'm already on that ride...
  5. Equifax Settlement

    I got a letter from Equifax years ago, said I didn't have to do anything to be included. Still waiting on my .57 while the lawyers and the original person who started the class action get all the rest. What a scam...
  6. Show Me Your Kitties!

    Wow, you are a pinball fanatic. Love the "gumballs"... Sure wish I could afford a reliable machine. Never was one for video games, pinball was my jam...
  7. Adding diff lock and Terrain management button

    I can't believe I haven't thought of turning off TC when driving up our dirt road. Wife freaks if I kick out the ass end, but that's nothing compared to when it kicks out and TC kicks in... I do use 2wd with locker on in the snow, coming up the hill on the way home. I find the locker works...
  8. BIG vent... working with the VA

    Thanks, and I will try that. Maybe I'm just tired...
  9. BIG vent... working with the VA

    My Pop was happy with the care from the VA as well. Never once did I hear him complain about the 6 month wait for Dr. visits. Me, it would burn me that a veteran had to wait, while our guests crossing the border, once legal, didn't have to. Not my perception, but out of the mouth of a traveling...
  10. BIG vent... working with the VA

    My father just passed, 12-21-22... I am executor and am dealing with the VA portion. OK< I get long hold times, only 1 call out of 8 have been less than 56 minute wait. Everyone was nice and accomidating. My first call to the Death Benefits division went smoothly, until it was time to email me...
  11. Anyone tried turbo flutter for fun?

    I'm not one for loud vehichles. The closest I had was a 73 Bronco, 302, 90 over with headers. And that wasn't loud, just sounded nice. Subjective I know... I don't like motorcycles that rattle my windows as they drive by, never liked ricer sounds, and wanna be's are the worst. I did have a...
  12. To warm-up or not to warm-up...

    M My bad, I read hasn't, not the hadn't, you wrote referencing Phil. My days of trusting the media started waining fast after Walter Cronkite retired. I do have 10+ years experience repairing/rebuilding engines for a GM dealer in the 80's. Whole nother animal. But, back then you had to warm up...
  13. To warm-up or not to warm-up...

    Well, kind of extreme don't you think? Me warming my truck for only 30 seconds or so has NOTHING to do with was just trying to do their part to limit emissions and feel good about themselves. Just because someone doesn't follow your way of thinking doesn't mean they are wrong, nor warants a...
  14. Tailgate Lettering

    Plus one for TVD. I believe it is veteran owned, great CS, and they sent me color samples. Hands down a no brainer...
  15. Why did you pick the Ranger over the Tacoma?

    yeah, I'm not 12 anymore... :o)
  16. Why did you pick the Ranger over the Tacoma?

    At least they are not pushing sex to sell. I never would have know she was built like that. Not that it affects my purchasing decisions.
  17. Why did you pick the Ranger over the Tacoma?

    One thing I never understood was "higher resle value". If both vehicles were equipt the same, and sold at same price, then it would make sense. But equipt the same, and Toyota sells for lets say $7k more, I'd expect it to have a higher resale vaule. But why would I want to pay more now, to maybe...
  18. Can Forscan adjust steering wheel firmness?

    I was also a huge PIA to Hyundai. It was stated on their website that Hyundai would supply a loaner or rental. They did neither, telling me it was a misprint. I was in dealership when I made that call. I was angry, but kept cool in front of salestaff and customers. eventually, I was told they...
  19. Can Forscan adjust steering wheel firmness?

    Ours went quickly, like a spun bearing. Never used any oil. 110K. Amazing that they gave a complete motor minus tubo. Nothing really was changed over.
  20. To warm-up or not to warm-up...

    Maybe someone can create a wear graph, showing wear percentages of internal parts at various temps, loads, warm up time etc. Since fuel injection, I warm for 30 secs or so and go. I have heat within a mile or so...
