It's not just Rangers that get hit. On March 21st my wife and I were heading to the waterfront for dinner in my 68 Barracuda. All of a sudden a kid in an F350 made a left turn into the quarter panel of my Cuda and opened it up like a Sardine can. The kid said he didn't see me, how can you not...

I installed a Bestop Trekstep under the bumper today.

No need to take the grill off. Just remove the panel on top of the grill and radiator core support. Reach in with a 1/4 drive ratchet and remove the nuts.

The front emblem I got for my Ranger had the posts that accepted the speed nuts from the factory emblem. The rear emblem used double back tape to hold it to the camera base.

Cooling fins absolutely drop temps, just look at the radiator in your truck or the cooling fins of an air cooled motor cycle. How much they help on a transmission pan is another question. FWIW, Motortrend did a test a number of years ago to see. They installed a temp gauge in the pan and ran a...

FWIW, I have been driving turbo charged 4cyl vehicles continuously since 1985 as my daily drivers. In that time I have accumulated about 3/4 of a million miles and have never had a turbo or internal engine failure. All of these vehicles have been tuned and a couple of them had over 200,000 miles...

You really should read the warranty document. The first paragraph clearly states that your new car warranty is not voided. It states that anything not caused by the tune are still covered. AND, as I stated earlier in the past 8 years of 2.3 Ecoboost ownership I have not heard of anyone having...

#1 Wrong - After the FP warranty is up your power train warranty stays in effect. If the cause of a power train failure can be attributed to the tune Ford could deny the claim. But in the last 8 years of owning 2.3 Ecoboost powered vehicles and participating on the platform forums I have never...

There are two control schemes used on modern fuel injected engines; Speed Density and Mass Air Flow. MAF systems like a Mustang GT have a MAF sensor in the intake and if you change the intake diameter where the sensor is you require a tune otherwise more air will be flowing into the engine than...

They used to have them in Massachusetts but I haven't seen one in probably 20 years

I have had 7 vehicles with capless fuel fillers and have never had a problem with any of them.

Here you go if you really want a lift. Tires are 315/70-17.

Checking in at Scusset Beach a couple of weeks ago.

Gee, the judged shows I attend there are classes so a late model vehicle would never be judged against an older vehicle and stock vehicles are not judged against modified vehicles. Best in show will be selected from the class winners. To be quite frank I don't go to car shows with the idea of...

It is a pretty well know fact that folks are attracted to the vehicles that they dreamed about as a kid. So for me as some one that identifies as collecting social security the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s are what I am most interested in. Even though I owned several late model performance...

I go up there about 3 times a year. It a little further than I want to drive to every other week. But on a nice night they will have over 2000 cars there. My weekly cruse nights are Friday's at Walmart in Halifax and Sunday mornings at the waterfront in Plymouth.

I have been going to car shows, cruise nights and cars-n-coffee events for over 40 years. I have never seen any of the things you describe. If you are so dissatisfied with shows I would suggest you stop going. All of the events I go to whether put on by a car club or local church are looking to...

The Ranger has and air oil separator on the side of the block where the PCV valve is attached. It is basically a series of baffles that the oil fumes flow through before it leaves the engine via the PCV. The direction changes of the fume flow causes the oil to drop out of suspension and drain...

Little confused with the description of your issue. The BLIS sensors are in your tail lights and have nothing to do with the front bumper. There are parking sensors in both the front and rear bumper that detect objects when parking. OBD code U0422 is for the body control module not communicating...

No change in mileage, 22ish around town before and after. FWIW, I have been driving turbo 4s continuously since 1985 as my daily drivers. Everyone of them has been tuned and my mileage has been the same or better on all of them. With the Ranger I have Unleashed's 87 octane tune with the...
