They used to have them in Massachusetts and there were all kinds of issues getting the nozzle in the tank and filling it. In my earlier post where I stated I have had 7 vehicles with the capless fuel fillers was after they did away with the vapor recovery bellows. They have also started allowing...

I have had 5 Fords and 2 Mopars with the capless fuel fillers and never had an issue with them prematurely kicking off.

I put a 1" level on my Tremor about 37k miles ago. It had NO impact on handling, ride or mileage.

Sounds like that aftermarket tail light was not accurately made. I broke a tail light lens on my 21 Lariat and I wound up buying a used OEM tail light. I don't think it took me more that 10-15 minutes to remove the broken light, swap the BLIS module over to the used one and put it back in the truck.

Not sure it was a GM thing I have replaced pumps in a lot of different brands. They all have gotten better and you aren't seeing as many fuel pump failures these days. There are two reasons the OEs put pumps in the tank. 1. These pumps are more efficient pushing fuel than sucking it. By having...

That's an old wives tail. If fuel is flowing through the pump it is getting all the cooling it needs. I have replaced fuel pumps in vehicles that sit close to the top of the tank and would require you to have over 1/2 a tank to keep it submerged. Of course if you run the tank down to the point...

In Massachusetts businesses are required by law to take used oil if they sell oil. I bring mine to Walmart because it is the simplest place to go. I have had businesses like AutoZone not want to take it if you didn't buy the oil from them.

It is powered off the fuse block. I realize that there is some voltage drop compared to reading directly off the battery and the gauge itself has some level of inaccuracy but that is really not important. The purpose of the gauge is to monitor for large changes from the norm that would require...

FWIW, I have had a voltmeter on the dash in my 21 Ranger for over 3 years. Can't say I have ever seen 15.1 volts but first start in the morning it is not unusual to be at 15.0. it will drop back down to low/mid 14s pretty quickly. After a long drive it is not unusual to see it at 12.9 volts.

Not sure why anyone thinks Max defrost could cause a window to crack. The only thing Max defrost does is turn the air blend to defrost, turn the fan on high and turn on the mirror/rear defrost. The fan is still going to be blowing cold ambient air until the engine warms up. This is no different...

If you can return it and get your money back you would be better off if you purchased it from Unleashed. They will include a tune to your specifications for the same price. You can go to the SCT web page and look up the Ranger and see if they are providing canned tunes on the device. Otherwise...

Yes

The car was purchased to be a daily driver, it cost about $15k less than the 21 Ranger Lariat Tremor that is now getting driven daily in the same conditions. I like to keep all my vehicles nice looking but I don't fret over a vehicle that was purchased to get me from A to B. I have two other...

FWIW, I will take snow any day over hurricanes, tornadoes or floods.

January 2015 I picked up a new Mustang and took it directly to my son's shop to put dedicated winter tires on it. Winter 2015 turned out to be the worst winter for snow in recorded history for the Boston area. At the time the heater in my 99 Dakota 4x4 wasn't working for shit, because the...

A 2wd pickup can do as well or better than a 4wd pickup if you load the bed up with weight. Of course the 4wd will be even better if you load the bed up. In high school and college I worked at a service station that was in the corner of a shopping center parking lot. We used to plow that...

FYI, if you look at AT tires on the Tire Rack site you will notice that they have the all terrain tires categorized as Street/All Terrain or Off Road/All Terrain. The difference in appearance is how aggressive the tread is.

I have lived in New England my entire life and got my first pickup in the late 70s and have had one ever since. My experience is that all terrain tires don't work as well as all season tires in the snow. The General Grabber ATx tires that came on my Tremor were the first all terrain tires I have...

Aluminized Steel has better corrosion resistance in salt water than galvanized steel.

Galvanized steel is less corrosion resistant than aluminized steel which is what most non stainless exhaust systems are made of. MBRP is one of the few aftermarket exhausts companies that give you the choice between aluminized steel or stainless steel for their exhaust systems.
