Thanks Randy & Shawn for replies. Things make more sense now.
I ordered PPE regular (not deep) fluid pan. Should be fine.
Apparently (matches guess of mine) mating surfaces plane (pan & trans) angles down (toward shallow, less tall end of pan). Thus drain at shallow end of pan should work...
Ad pics for regular capacity PPE transmission oil pan (not deep version) for 10R80 always seem to show drain hole located near shallow (less tall) end of pan. This strikes me as odd (for pan draining).
By contrast, PPE deep pan and other manufacturers' replacement metal pans seem to show drain...
Have had tires regularly lose pressure (over few days or few weeks) but pass the bubble (water trough) test. No nails or leaks detected.
Tire shop would sometimes automatically (or I'd ask them to) slap some sealant goop around the bead. They suspected the bead might be leaking (I envisioned...
10k miles on new 22 XLT Crew orig shocks. Just swapped Bilstein B6 4600's for rear factory shocks. Pair approx 160 [sale?] + Tax (free & fast ship) from Shock Surplus.
Night and day, instant improvement in my asphalt driving! As predicted/recommended by several on this site (thanks)...
Thanks to all posters. Enjoying this and other threads that discuss shocks, handling & related aspects.
Have 10k mi. on stock shocks & setup since new purch (22 XLT Crew 4x4--no lift, no level).
Generally rides okay (mostly interstate or decent country roads, in 2H only) but have noticed...
Hi Mike (Fitzmotor),
Remote Transmission Dipstick:
Superb product! Superb development!
Just voted to enter wait queue (in case I hadn't voted before).
Please add me to waiting list (only qty = 1, in case I voted twice!). I'll be very patient.
Let me know when, where, how to remit payment...
Of course, I will be untying the rope pull loop (or removing it entirely). Mine is a manual roll-up door.
And think I'll replace the 4-inch stub ant with a 2-inch version (been in parking garages where pipes & low ceilings could catch antennas). Wish the stub antennas were highly flexible...
22 Ranger XLT SCrew 4x4 Oxford White
At purchase, bought and trimmed 1x2 length from Lowes to prop rollup garage door above frame.
Sized down roof antenna with 4-inch 'stubby' replacement.
Allowed safe entry & especially backup exit from garage without catching roof antenna.
Unfortunately...
Trickle charger A/C cord to keep the electric damper ennervated and ready to perform at all times. Unbelievable!
Really like the R-cubed Rapid Response Ranger. Very nice!
My dealer washed new truck and factory spray bed very well prior to pick up, but debris apparently remained. Found dry leaf parts (& tiny stems) stuck in bed groove by cab.
Used tweezers to gently pull out visible pieces. So crumbly, had to be careful & tug very slowly. I'm sure some...
Oxford white touchup paint (applied to dashcam housing) could potentially help preserve it from overheat--and classily match the main decor.
Officer: What you doing in that wrecked truckbed, son?
Dave: Dampster diving.
Officer: Ok. Carry on (or off).
