In short, nobody wanted EV but government subsidies propped up the market. Now that the subsidies are ending, people are moving back toward ICE. Basically, the government interfered and created a false market.
Alright - I drove to Beaver Creek and my transmission was sitting at 215Âş F for a long time. That's too high, in my opinion, so I am looking for a transmission cooler. Before I go reinventing the wheel, has anyone installed a transmission cooler on their Ranger? Google is not returning any...
What is your actual question? Alignment spec should follow what Ford says. Even leveled, Ford's spec will get even wear. The OE control arms only allow so much adjustment, so the camber might have been out this whole time. If the shop that did your alignment said your camber has been maxed...
Yeah, the plate rotates with the tailgate. It is bolted to a ... bolt... on the left inside bottom (that holds the hinge on).

The p2s seems to be a great machine. Congrats on that. I want the AMS but I can’t justify it right now. I’d use it to keep from having to swap filament constantly when I print prototypes vs final product.
In order to make my spare tire carrier, I had to remove my license plate. I designed a new bracket and 3D printed it out of PETG.
Mounted on the truck:
I had a PLA+ mount melt inside my cabin. This one is PETG.
Here are the print settings I used for strength. I printed it at 45 degrees too so that the layer lines wouldn't be in the same direction as the force of the license plate.
Agreed - The only time I have to hit the buttons is if I use remote start. Even then, it will kick on after 5-8 minutes. Startled the snot out of me when I forgot.
I appreciate the advice. I will print one with 100% and one with 50% and see what I think of them. I need to run to ACE Hardware for a bolt for the final test fit...
I definitely up the perimeters during these kinds of prints, 4-5 is my go to. Every edge on this piece has a fillet of 1mm so...
