  1. Straight Pipe

    Don't forget about the vw VR6. :rockon:
  2. Damper Shamed!

  3. Turbo Lag

    I think a lot of the problem is that the truck likes to get into really high gears fast, sits at about 1500 rpm when just tooling around. Then is has to downshift, spool the turbo up more, yadda yadda yadda. Which is fine for my grandma style driving, but not for everybody. Honestly ecoboosts...
  4. Report your MPG

    70 cents more here too, except only 91 and the rare 93 is e10. Around us everyone uses 87 so the gas is always fresher, and the 91 tends to sit in the holding tank underground for a while.

  6. Suspension on 2wd

    Post pics when you get it installed! ?
  7. Do I need to get winter/snow tires ?

    4wd plus locking diff + snow tires. You will be a god among men. In all seriousness though, if you are used to having snow tires on other vehicles then the ranger is no different. 4wd/Awd only helps starting off the line and maybe helps limit tendency to spinout. But snowtires have better...
  8. We need more write ups?

    Which one did you go with? If I remember correctly there was 2 sizes, but that was for my taurus sho I had. I wanted to do full e85 with the %60 over xdi pump (so I had some room to grow) but 2500 was a lot and then I got T-boned in it.
  9. Damper Shamed!

    Might as well disable the power steering, power brakes, and swap in a manual trans. That should flex masculinity even more. ? ??
  10. Poll: Should Sid, aka Misfitoy, be allowed to return to the Ranger 5g forum?

    I still haven't found what he wrote to get him banned. Was it removed?
  11. Turbo Lag

    Are you saying: At a stop, auto start/stop disabled, in drive and idling, then you mat it and there is a lag. Or cruising down the highway 45-50 or so and you step on it is when it lags?
  12. transmission service

    Normal scheduled maintenance is 150k in my manual for the front/rear diff, trans, and Tcase. Thats ludicrous. I plan on doin 50k or sooner if I get bored ?. I plan on replacing trans filter at that 50k interval too. I like the idea of sucking most of the fluid out though before dropping the...
  13. Better Acceleration

    Your answer is in post #2 and #6/#7.
  14. Exhaust/Rear End Rattle

    Rewatched the vid after throwing some headphones on, I defn hear something clunking. Mine had a clunk and went away when I tightened the shock bolts, mine were not tight. What I would do: Grab some wrenches and tighten or try to tighten everything that moves. Shock bolt, shackle bolts, leaf...
  15. Exhaust/Rear End Rattle

    Make sure to check things inside the cab too. Under rear seat, behind rear seat, jack etc. You would be surprised. I didn't hear anything like u describe in the video you posted, TBH.
  16. Additional Gauges

    For all you data junkies out there do NOT buy a new powerstroke. Or this is what your trunk will look like. :LOL: They got sensors in those things that sound like made up words. ?
  17. Disable fake engine noise

    I thought the Focus ST's had a symposer on the intake tube?
  18. Poll: Should Sid, aka Misfitoy, be allowed to return to the Ranger 5g forum?

    Don't know what search you're using but when I search nothing shows up.
  19. FX4 vinyl badging

    Yea definitely don't try pulling off those labels on the visor. Went home over lunch and tried a very small test corner on the passenger side, and it leaves like an imprint of some sort not a residue. Its not really a sticker, its almost like its molded and one with the visor. Luckily I cant...
  20. Question for a Tech/Mechanic regarding the Brakes.

    I would give it a good bleed. I pulled about a cup through each bleeder on mine, with a vacuum bleeder. The key is to pull enough fluid to pull the bubble all the way to the bleeder nipple and out, and pull it fast enough to keep the bubble moving so it doesn't float back.
