Not sure what your experience is with driving trucks, but they tend to ride like shit. They're utility vehicles made to haul significant amounts of weight so the unladen suspension can be quite stiff. It softens as you add weight. Try putting a couple hundred pounds in the bed and see how you...

No one wanted the FX4 shocks and throwing away perfectly good shocks doesn't sit well with me, so I've still got them sitting in the garage. I might buy a cheap spacer leveling kit to use while the Foxes are being rebuilt. Not in a big hurry though. The shocks are still performing fine, I'm...

FULL STOP WTF kind of dump did you take your car to for this kind of service?

Huskies are the GOAT Still look as good as my Line-X premium bed liner after a few years of really dirty work

Yeah I've got the oem shocks in the garage. That's ultimately the plan if I can't find a local shop to handle it.

Saying mkX is a VW thing. No one refers to trucks with that nomenclature. It's is the fifth generation Ranger, hence the name of the forum...ranger5g

I've had Fox 2.0s on for about 50k miles. Rebuild is technically due, but I'm still working out how I'm going to have it done. Would prefer to find a local shop that could rebuild and put them right back on, but that doesn't seem to exist around me. Might have to just send them back to Fox.

I'd be shocked if they did anything for this when vehicles have had coolant reservoir overflow just dumping on the ground this whole time. At least gasoline evaporates quickly into a relatively harmless gas.

Not bad pricing! I'll probably still end up doing this myself when the time comes, but that almost seems worth the money. Thanks for sharing

Sure, do whatever you want man. I run 93 because I like the way it performs and I tow & haul off road frequently. It's not a maintenance concern for me. I'm just a nerd that only likes doing PM when there is solid evidence to justify the effort/cost. Especially when it comes to forums like...

Idk man I'm not convinced. Even the engine teardown is just opening up random engines and attributing their state to whatever variable you decided was important. Not valid evidence unless the experiment was controlled and all variables held constant between the two motors. We have no idea what...

I'll have to dig through my old receipts, but the best thing to do is find your contract that details exactly how the ESP works and bring that to the table. If they refuse to work with you then you may need to find another service center.

Have you seen evidence that 87 octane makes engines dirtier than 91?

I'd check the paperwork on that one. I have not once paid for diagnostics while using my ESP

Yes, I had to use mine and it saved me quite a bit of money. I had a row of problems undoubtedly linked to an unfortunate incident in the swamp, but all work was handled no questions asked as long as I could provide service records. I do my own maintenance, too, so it all counted as long as I...

Go to the auto parts store and buy some ball joint pullers. Remove the brake calipers and rotors and knock the axle loose from the hub. Swapping the strut takes 20-30 minutes if you do these small steps. My ears are still ringing from trying to get the tie rod end out with a mallet. Puller...

Fordrangerlifts.com has a 3" kit. 33s are tight. Lift kit alone won't clear 34s. Tons of threads on here about what it took to clear big rubber. Read up

If you haven't replaced your transmission every 10k miles then at this point it's too late and you should just throw the whole truck away

What's it take to purchase from this surplus?
