As long as you don't continuously redline the engine use sport mode as often as you want. Spirited driving doesnt hurt anything. Maybe don't do it when all of the engine fluids are cold. As for engine wear, the Ranger has an oil life monitor that will tell you when the oil needs to be changed...

Just a heads up. You will probably lose your front tow hooks with any bull bar that fits over the stock bumper. I've done a fair bit of looking around and it seems like the standard install location is right into the front tow hook mounts. I havent found any bull bars that dont require you to...

The bull bar in both of those builds is the WARN Baja Grille Guard tube which mounts to the WARN Ascent front bumper.

Are these plastic made to look like metal or actually metal?

I did buy a hard cover folding tonneau . However not everyone has that option or has it in their budget. They are absurdly expensive for what they are. The OP's idea seems like an OK stand-in for actually getting a hard cover. However hardboard is not a great material. As mentioned earlier...

Still yes. Big pipes will improve how quickly both turbo’s spool. But things will get loud. I’ve never found the sound of diesel engines to be all that charming but what YOU like is what you like. If it makes you happy and you arent “rolling coal” then go for it. Rolling Coal specifically...

Turbo Diesels? Yes that applies to turbo diesels

So "California Legal" generally refers to alterations that do not impact emissions. The opposite of deleting the cat. The term is typically used by products meant to go to market in states other than California that are adopting clean air regulations. Most states do not have their own clear air...

Anyone telling you about backpressure is making a hammers and banana’s comparison. Turbo charged engines aren’t effected by backpressure like a naturally aspirated engine is. If someone is talking about back pressure regarding a turbocharged engine theyre probably thinking about manifold...

My goto first modification on every vehicle I’ve every bought is modifying or replacing the restrictive stock air intake. From the Factory there is almost always a series of: * intake resonators * unnecessary tubing diameter reductions * restrictive airbox inlet * in one case a Factory airbox...

+1 This. Don’t waste your time. Resonators (unless they have a serious design flaw) do not block exhaust flow. I’ve seen “silenced” muffler delete builds that were just a series of differently sized cheap resonators instead of an expensive high flow muffler. Basically someone at a muffler shop...

Thanks! It seems really surprising that aftermarket exhaust vendors aren't making the 1" restriction in the factory muffler a main bullet-point in their marketing materials. Have none of the other aftermarket vendors noticed that factory exhaust is restricted like that? Exhaust restrictions...

I'm very curious about the 1" exhaust restriction. The most significant change you will find with upgraded exhaust is that by removing exhaust restrictions on a turbocharged engine like the 2.3 ecoboost you will see an increase in spool speed for the turbo (spins up faster). This wont make a...

Ford Performance https://performanceparts.ford.com/vehicles/Ranger doesnt seem to list a rear diff cover for the Ranger. I did find it listed here https://www.mountuneusa.com/Ranger-Ford-Performance-Differential-Cover-Kit-p/m-4033-r.htm Even cast iron it looks like a sturdy welcome...

Those look nice! What was the part number or fitment for these? I see a Model: Ranger (2013-2019) fitment option. Is that what you got?

That is VERY interesting. So in your ecoboost escape the system detected an undervoltage condition on engine start and disabled systems? What year was the ecoboost escape ?

I'm starting to get interested in overlanding. My understanding is most people overlanding for significant distances or lengths of time try to keep their electrical reasonably simple if possible. To that end am I right in assuming that you swapped the stock Ranger battery for a high capacity...

Odds are its a poor quality cmos sensor chosen for durability over image quality. There is probably an upgrade. Perhaps from an F150 ? Can we compare the part numbers?

Much appreciated.
