  1. So how hot is it where you are today?

    Been awhile since I lived in humidity, but I'm getting broken in again. I'd take that dry 113F.
  2. 2023 Model - first oil change

    I use testing to monitor things as well as decide on an oil and change interval to use. I do it with my regular cars, race cars, side-by-sides, tractor, etc. I got this back last week. Original fill with 2,341 miles on it. I will be running roughly the same interval on the OEM oil I just put...
  3. EGO Leaf Blower what CFM?

    I've been using a Dewalt leaf blower for drying vehicles for years. It really only works well if you've done something like ceramic coating. If you're damaging seals, change your angle as your vehicle experiences higher flow/pressure driving on the freeway.
  4. Maverick more than my 2020 Lariat

    My wife's Maverick is due to be built in a few weeks. It'll be more expensive than my Ranger, but I got the Ranger through Granger, in addition to two rebates. I also got a 2WD XL STX FX2 and upgraded everything. Paid $28,xxx last year. Building it out as of a few months ago, my truck came...
  5. yamahaSHO's Street Truck

    Thanks. Funny enough, I'm troubleshooting a random misfire on it right now. Not sure if it was bad fuel, injectors finally needing cleaning after sitting multiple times at very long intervals with E85, coils, etc. I have removed the injector PnP harnesses and crimped in the proper connector...
  6. yamahaSHO's Street Truck

    I've had some marine grease that I have previously had for slip yokes, but I'm not sure if I have it anymore. If I don't, I'll pick up the grease you mention.
  7. Is a 10,000 mile oil change interval ideal for the 2.3L?

    I recently changed oil at an early mileage interval as I wanted to get some of the break-in junk out and check on how the oil is holding up. The junk in the oil was expected, however, the oil sheared pretty quickly with just 2,3xx miles on it. I certainly would not want to leave it in for 10k...
  8. yamahaSHO's Street Truck

    I changed my oil pretty early on mileage as I wanted to clean out the break-in junk as well as see how bad this oil shears... The contents/contaminates in the oil are what I expected, but I was a little surprised (although not) to see it already shear to a 20 weight in 2,300 miles. I put in...
  9. Sun shade that fits?

    I am looking at possibly getting an Ecplipse shade for my Ranger. I've been using them in different cars for almost 25 years and they work well and I don't have to store the shade. The only downside I've had is that they eat up a little viability. https://eclipsesunshades.net/
  10. Towing and Empty Temps

    It's like 3-5% per 1k, depending on weather/pressure.
  11. Towing and Empty Temps

    Lack of air is lack of cooling via air. Take all those grades and remove 30% of that air and that is the data I am curious about.
  12. Towing and Empty Temps

    I'd be curious to see the same tests done at high altitude (6k +).
  13. Anyone added additional headliner sound deadener?

    I've taken out headliners before... It's not that difficult. Normally held on by the rubber trim, handles, lights, etc. Not sure why you'd need to pull the seats though.
  14. Installed Oxilam LED turn signals

    I love when people cover their plate when they post on Facebook, but have their entire profile open for anyone to see.
  15. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Changed the oil for the first time and sent it off to Blackstone. My trips are shortish and I only have 2,3xx miles on the truck, so I wanted to get the factory fill out and new fluid in. I will run OEM for another 2k miles and then switch to 300v and bump to 5w40. Ultimately, the oil...
  16. Cactus Grey or Shelter Green Metallic

    I'm a Cactus gray fan and I've probably had more comments on the color of it over any other car I've had. I also have never like the color green on a car.
