I have replace two of these sensor one on the first 2019 Ranger I purchased for work and one for my wife just recently. At no time did I ever have either truck " plus after stopping at a light it jumps forward an inch or two." Nor did either "Hunts for the right gear on slow acceleration,"...
"I honestly believe that the sweet spot temp range is 160F-180F and I am aiming for a max temp of 205F. I think that transmission life is shortened when temps start climbing above 215F."
I have never seen temps at 160 to 180 out side of warming my 65 mile run to Galveston netted me temps in the...
I have never see over 230 because I would rather slow down than exceed this I am set up somewhat like you I am running 33 Nitto Terra Grapplers with a BDS 3.5 inch lift and I tow a OBX 18BHS. I did by today the @Fitzmotor dipstick it is back in stock.
I had already planned on using fuel cans to begin with I have some containers that they ship chemicals in that hold 8 gal each and I have two this would double what I can hold and I can space them out in the back of the truck and not on one side.
I have also thought about using a boat fuel tank...
Well I did do a little bit of data logging so to speak. Now the ambient temp was a full 10 degrees less and I was not pulling but the speeds were the same in a 62 mile loop I never seen a temp over 192 and Coolant temps never made it above 201 and when they did they quickly dropped back down to...
I fully understand why it's so much and Australia is miles ahead of the US market when it comes to offroad. The cost is hard to swallow but understandable all things considered.
I have been looking for some time now for a larger fuel tank for the Ranger and it seem there were many choices to be had. Outside of the one made by
Titan like this:

Once I seen the temps I was hitting I started driving much more conservative staying around 60 to 55 and just for reference I live near Houston so it is pretty well flat land. with a few overpasses. To e in my engineering brain temps should be controlled better as FMC should expect towing in...
