Very nice. Would have liked to of put that in an old 19' Slickcraft I used to have. Would have made a big improvement over the old inline 6 Merc with 165hp.

That is a good idea. I like that you can move the lights to where they are needed. How weather proof do they seem? I guess that might not matter with a bed cover. Or can keep them in the cab until needed. There is a Harbor Freight not far from me. I may have to pay them a visit.

My USB ports did not light up in the back when I checked this evening. The front ones have a ring around the port that lights. Personally I would take a small tool of some sort and see if I could very gently coax the socket to move, it may pop back in to place. A plastic tool or a least...

Does the Ranger factory have the capacity to put out Rangers in enough numbers to compete with the Tacos numbers? Especially since they will also be building the Bronco on the same assembly line later?

I would imagine most of the oil coming from a cold side turbo leak would get trapped by the intercooler. The expansion area and temperature drop of the intercooler should cause most of any turbo oil to condense and drop to the bottom of the intercooler, I would think. Heavy boosting might blow...

I'm not trying to single you out John. You seem to be asking questions in a genuine search for knowledge so I am trying to help offer what could be answers from my viewpoint. You are right that does not seem like much stuff over roughly a thousand miles. Extrapolate that amount out over...

Hi Lister, It may be that Ford is rolling out the updates at different times for the Euro version from the US for Sync. I have not tried to USB update so do not know if they have different files for different regions of the world. If they do I figure you downloaded the correct one. My truck...

Good looking setup Mishimoto. Order placed.

You might want to try watching that part of the video again. The deposits were acquired when the PCV was connected to the intake runner on a stock DI engine that did not have a catch can. The next part of the test was done with the PCV not routed into the intake runner at all.

He explains this in the video. The valves that got the most build up are the ones closest to the PCV inlet at the intake manifold (located between valves 4 and 5). The contaminants follow the path of least resistance and go to the nearest open valve for each cylinder. In this dual intake valve...

I saw this not sure if it will help explain the difference between oil catch cans and air / oil separators. If catch cans came pre-installed on cars my feeling is that since it is a maintenance type item most people on the road will never ever check them for service. Which would eventually...

Mine went off once too. Is a bit unnerving when an alert pops up when not used to a vehicle with such things. It was night time on the interstate, just before a sweeping left turn and I was in the right hand lane. There was a car off to the right side of the road in the grass but near enough...

Have you tried online stores such as ebay, amazon or other outlets to have them shipped to you? I agree with the others. Something is very wrong if you are going through brake pads so quickly. Maybe your emergency / parking brake is not dis-engaging correctly. We have some beefy brake pads...

@mrsmith the truck looks like it sits fine to me with that in there. I should have been more specific in asking about any side sway (top heaviness) or handling issues. Seen quite a few threads on how well it tows but little on hauling a sizable weight in the bed. Now that I have a few...

Sounds like a lot of sand. How did your EcoBeast do with that much weight in the bed? I'd be half tempted to make a sandbox to play in. :)

I just get annoying mailers every month from companies I've never heard of wanting me to buy an extended warranty from them for my Ranger. They just get ripped up and thrown in the recycling bin. Started about a month after I bought the truck. Has me wondering how they found out so quick.

Ranger #2 Most Safe Midsize Trucks If one is of the school of thought that the Ridgeline is not a 'true or proper' pickup truck - lack of body on frame or frame and cab being separate, separate open box etc. Then that would place the Ranger as #1 in the safety tests. :D I do think uni-body...

Someone did post a video in these forums some time ago of the waste gate actuator going through the motions at startup and making a squeaking noise very similar to what you have been discussing. djrobb and ponyexpress posted it in this thread chirp sound coming from the engine...

Nice, thanks for sharing and the links. :like:

Thank you for the extra pictures. :like:
