The Ford TBC system is comprised of a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite and a Lumen module that takes the brake light coming on and converts it to an input for the Redarc. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite has a fully adjustable proportional application of the trailer brakes as well as full manual control of the...

The reason for connecting to the third brake light is so the trucks emergency braking system works with the TBC. The brake input to the TBC whether it is your Prodigy P3 or the Redarc that comes with the Ford system is off the brake switch which does not get activated when the emergency braking...

680 is not intended to be used as a thread locker. It is for bonding loose fitting parts like bonding in a bearing into an oversized bore. Loctite 290 is a green thread locker that is medium strength and is wicking. That is, you can apply it to fasteners that are assembled and it will wick it's...

Interesting, I would not have bought my carbonized grey Tremor if it didn't have the graphics package! Back to your question: the graphics are vinyl decals. FWIW, I have got nothing but compliments regarding the graphics on mine.

Spend the time to read the manual, these systems are described there. If you didn't get a manual a web search will net you a PDF version.

What the lane assist action is can be adjusted in the main menu under driver assist. The collision warnings action is based on what it perceives the danger to be. I get the warning quite often when someone slows in front of me and I change lanes with out braking. It will apply the brakes to...

It all depends on the terms of the contract what you can do financially. The bulk of the funding in our contracts was firm fixed price. Within reason the government had no say in how we spent that money as long as we were delivering on budget and on schedule. These contracts also had a provision...

All my straps, bungees, etc reside in a swing case where they are easy to get to. My prior truck had a box shaped like a swing case but it was bolted in and did not swing.

The Ranger is the sixth truck I have owned over the past 55 years and it is the first one that had under seat storage. The two compartments may not be as big as some other trucks out there but it is more than adequate for the things I carry that need to be inside the cab. Everything else fits...

FWIW, Permatex was sold to Loctite and Loctite was sold to Henkel. These days the same chemicals are sold under both names.

Well I do not know what DCAS but DCAA was the financial audit group that was in our finance departments knickers. I never had to deal with them. DCMAs job is to ensure that we were following all the provisions of the contract. Like any organization there are good folks and not so good folks...

I never had issues with DCMA providing I had a technically sound explanation for what I was doing. It was the folks that just presented a USE-AS-IS nonconformance or REPAIR with out justification that had problems. Over the years I presented quite a few procedures that DCMA approved as...

FWIW, I worked in the defense industry for the past 18 years as an engineer. We would use gallons of Loctite every year. Inevitably everything we had in house would go past its shelf life a couple of times a year. Since we had to use MiL Spec versions of Loctite it was not as easy as running...

Amazon has quite a few choices for fob covers that fit the Ranger key fob.

Still need the speedo to be accurate to get accurate mpg numbers regardless of whether you calculate by hand your mpg or use the trip computer. A discrepancy between the actual overall tire diameter on the truck and the calibration factor in the as-built data will impact how many miles the...

With enough money and skill you can make anything fast. All the U-Tube videos of the "Farm Truck" launching wheels up and blowing the doors off million dollar exotics is testament to that. A buddy of mine had a 78 F250 with a 460 he used to haul his horse trailer with. That thing had enough...

The check valves and all the hoses come with the dual valve catch can. UPR also sells a conventional setup that just goes in series between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. The dual valve setup has a check valve in the line between the catch can and the intake manifold. This valve is...

Funny you mention autocross. Few years back I was at the Syracuse Nationals Car Show. Jet Hot was sponsoring an autocross. There were a bunch of 60s muscle cars entered and a bunch of turbo imports. The import guys were all talking smack about how they were going to embarrass the muscle cars...

Yep! Unless you get the UPR dual valve catch can. With the clever use of check valves it works off boost as well as under boost.

This catch can is for the clean side of the PCV system. It will only help under boost which is a small fraction of the total engine run time. Your bang for the buck with a catch can is with one that is mounted on the dirty side of the PCV system where it removes oil while off boost. Most all...
