  1. Too much oil in my 2.3?

    just change it. should really change the oil between 500 - 1000km/mi for first change anyways.
  2. Ford Performance Tune

    another note is Fuel, like some people have stated already. You should absolutely be running 91-94 octane fuel even WITHOUT the tune. Forced induced engines THRIVE on high octane fuel. Turbo's generate heat, and that contributes to pre-ignition and retarding of timing. Higher octane fuel helps...
  3. Ford Performance Tune

    Nope. Exhaust and intake not required. But more power = more air + fuel + boost. Exhaust and intake would help get more air in and more exhaust out.
  4. I Saw a Ranger SX...Something. ...What is it?

    its trim package. I have an STX FX4. Even more "base" than the XL. Plastic floor liners, no carpet, black bumpers and trim, different wheels. Along with the FX4 package, it includes all the off-road bits with less creature comforts inside.
  5. Oil type?

    I use Motul. Have in all my previous turbo charged vehicles as well as the Ranger. Intervals can vary! People swear by 5K but we aren't in the 90's anymore, oil and engine technology have come a LONG way since then. I check often and when its looking very dirty and I'm between that 5-10K (Km's...
  6. Is this true

    A redline a day keeps the carbon away! :rockon:
  7. First trip in my new Ranger

    Nice truck! I installed a little shackle/mount into the hitch in the rear. It has a 10k lb break point and I've used it a few times to tug some bigger trucks from the mud!
  8. SuperCab rear seat measurements

    As others have said, the "backseat" is workable, but its really more like a 2 door with some storage back there. I'm 6'2 and I can fit back there, albeit, not very comfortably. I wanted the 6' bed. I think it was the right choice. The larger bed really makes a difference when your hauling...
  9. Downhill drive mode?

    I drive mountain passes all the time. I use Tow/Haul often, Sport Mode for the really twisty sections with moderate elevation gain/loss, and I select gears when Im cruising down long straight downhill sections. I learned how to drive on a manual trans and daily drove for years with a manual, so...
  10. Vibration/Shaking issue getting worse. 9k miles.

    So a noticeable shake at 40mph and other speeds. Does it change with RPM? Someone else stated "No" in their experience. Tire pressures are solid and have been checked. You'd see more uneven wear VS a shake or shimmy. Sounds like an alignment issue to me honestly. I'd get them to check that...
  11. Fuel type?

    I use Shell 91 (Canada) religiously. Also for the Air Miles Points. I find the ratings are marginally better than Chevron. And i really just don't trust the other gas companies up here in Canada (Petro Can, Husky, Esso etc). Ive been putting Shell in my vehicles since I started driving over 10...
  12. Quality Seat Covers?

    I have these as well, they are great! A bit pricey but good quality and good fit! I got mine through the dealership for a decent price.
  13. I am sore, but we got a lot of stuff done to my Ranger!

    It looks good! What prompted you to go Eibach VS Fox or RC?
  14. How many miles before modding? Warranty concerns.

    The Roush Tune will compensate for lower octane gas. Obviously with any forced induced engine you'd want to run as high an octane as possible, but it will compensate to the best of its ability. Filling up 1 tank of 94/91 and then filling up with 1 tank of 87/89 will show very little change as...
  15. How many miles before modding? Warranty concerns.

    most likely will have get all that stuff installed by a dealer to maintain factory warranty or the 36,000 one that comes with the Ford Performance parts.
  16. Truck Bed Camping Setup

    Looks GREAT. Keep the updates coming!
  17. Truck Bed Camping Setup

    What kind of canopy do you have?
  18. Factory Oil Drain Plug

    i use a new plug every time. I won't take the risk of the gasket failing. the filter and plug are $21 at my dealership and thats fine with me. My local dealer told me a recent story of a guy who "double stacked" the little plug washer on accident. didn't notice it was left on the pan and...
  19. Truck Bed Camping Setup

    Hey all, With the seasons changing, and the ever lasting mandate to be socially distant, I am hoping we can share some ideas for a wicked bed setup! I am seeking some inspiration for mine. Ideally sleep/storage/camping/offroad-get away type of deal. Home made or purchased are both acceptable...
  20. New Members Introduce Yourself!

    Hello people! Introducing myself as a new member from the PNW (Vancouver Canada). I just picked up my '19 XL STX FX4 about a week ago and am loving it so far. I come from the Subaru/VW world and this is my first ever truck. Very much looking forward to lurking here and seeing what you all do...
