Normal process is to have the truck sitting at its normal ride height after adjusting the weight bars. Note: An 800 lb tongue weight is 100 lbs more than what the truck is rated for. Max tongue weight for the Ranger is 700 lbs.

FWIW, the Ecoboost Mustang folks have determined that the limit of the 2.3 block is at 400 RWHP. Going reliably beyond that requires using either a 2.0 block or and after market block.

It is! The 2.3 Ecoboost Mustang guys that are building big HP engines use the 2.0 block with the 2.3 head and internals.

FWIW, there seems to be more negative comments about 5-Star then Ford Performance, Livernois or Unleashed.

FWIW, there is a huge thread on this topic from a couple of years ago. The issue I had when I got my truck in 21 was the pedal was low and with constant pressure on the pedal at a stop the pedal would sink to the floor. A quick pump of the pedal once stopped would take care of it. I did the ABS...

I have owned 5 Fords and 2 Mopars with TPMS. All have relearned the tire position after rotating and have also relearned the different sensors when swapping between summer and winter tires. When I got my 15 Mustang in January 15 I had my son mount winter tires on some rims I had picked up...

Nope I don't. The severity of the detonation that caused that damage wouldn't have been prevented by using 93 octane. The bottom picture looks like the damage that would have been caused by Low Speed Pre Ignition (LSPI). It is a phenomenon that can happen in direct injected turbo engines when...

A MAF sensor measures air flow by the cooling effect of air flowing across a heated wire or surface. A film build up of oil from the PCV system will insulate the sensor giving inaccurate readings to the ECU. This is the reason for the periodic cleaning requirement. A MAP sensor measures...

FWIW, I put the FP tune on my 21 Ranger when it had less that 1000 miles on it and ran 93 octane exclusively for about 10k miles. When 93 octane went over $4/gal I switched back to the stock tune and ran 87. I was very unhappy with the tranny shifting characteristics stock that I went back to...

Changes in the air intake have zero negative impact on the tune with the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) system used in the Ranger. Even in a MAF system as long as you haven't changed the cross sectional area of the intake at the MAF location there will be no impact. The engine will only ingest...

FWIW, the Ford Performance tune comes with a K&N filter. Could be you have the FP tune and it requires 91 octane minimum. If the tune was originally installed by the dealer or was registered through FP the dealer should be able to look up the VIN and tell you. If nothing else have the dealer...

2019 and older Sync systems can get the latest map updates from Cyanlabs for free. Starting with the 2020 systems Ford made a change to the APIM that will not allow maps with a universal license file install making Cyanlabs not an option for maps on the newer vehicles. FWIW, the vehicles with...

My 21 Lariat did not have the icons when I purchased it new. As previously stated I turned them on with Forscan.

I turned on the seat heater icons with Forscan way back in 21 when I couldn't see the buttons during the day. They have stayed on through all the Sync updates I have installed.

When Ford Performance first released the ProCal 4 tune back around 2020 they recommended that it not be used for towing. They latter in 20 or early 21 they revised the tune to make it suitable for towing. There have not been any revisions to the tune since and there is no separate towing tune...

Just go to Cyanlabs and down load 3.4.23188. Their updater software that you install on your PC will down load the update, format your USB drive and copy the files to the USB. I had 3.4.22251 and went to 3.4.23088 with Cyanlabs. I just went to 3.4.23188 down loading from the Ford site.

I didn't realize the XML file was still a thing. In the past seven years of owning vehicles with Sync 3 I have only been successful once in uploading the XML file but the Sync site will reflect the version I have installed within a couple of three weeks.

Use a tap to clean the material out. The place that sprayed my truck used golf tees to plug the holes. He also removed the tie downs and took the screws out of the tail gate access panel, plugged the holes then put the screws back in after spraying.

I just checked it said I had 3.4.23088 which I installed via Cyanlabs and 3.4.23188 is available. I down loaded and installed the 3.4.23188.

That is the same setup that mine has, I believe it is a Tremor thing. What you were expecting to see was a universal at the rear differential. What you have is a CV joint.
