  1. Oem side bars and offroading.

    3/4" bolts.... that's a typo, right. OEM / Aftermarket side steps attach to the sheet metal cab, see below photo. Also, see the sheet metal bracket? Rock sliders, good quality rock sliders, bolt to the frame of the truck. These sliders are so strong they can be used as a jacking point to...
  2. Notice to those who have replaced lug nuts

    Correct. Never use an impact wrench to torque anything to a specific torque. Use a torque wrench. I install them by hand, use a 4-way wrench to snug them, then using the torque wrench set the torque 3 times.. 50 ft-lbs, 75 ft-lbs and then 100 ft-lbs.
  3. thump when coming to a complete stop?

    Ours does this too when I have the auto start/stop off and I come to a complete stop. I'm speculating that the 10R80 transmission clutches are disengaging the torque converter and that's what we are feeling and hearing. No load means better mpg.
  4. Notice to those who have replaced lug nuts

    Be sure to ask them, every time, to torque them, by hand, with a torque wrench. Many shops don't. Happy Trails..
  5. Notice to those who have replaced lug nuts

    Thanks for doing the research... I keep the Gorilla Key Socket for the lock lugs in it's original packaging, along with the 4 stock lug nuts, place it in a zip lock bag, and place it in the storage compartment where the jack is. Another thing.... Do you have a torque wrench? You should be...
  6. Spacers plus aftermarket crash bar = ?

    I'm aware of that. I emailed them in February asking for some sort of signed document to certify what they state in their advertising. This is how they responded. John, Yes, that is correct we tested these components and concluded that our Intrusion Beams meet or exceed the strength of the...
  7. Spacers plus aftermarket crash bar = ?

    Slowed down... I wouldn't think so. A big battering ram of a bumper means the humans inside see more g forces in a crash, and see them quicker because the bumper won't bend nearly as easy as the stock one. So the energy / forces from the crash will be greater and transmitted quicker to the...
  8. Gibson Dual Exhaust Issues

    In regard to the 409 tubes, the folks at Summit Racing seem to be in agreement with Gibson: 409 stainless steel can be almost 90% iron. This means a magnet will stick to it. It will also develop surface rust over time, especially after being exposed to heat. And in regard to the tips... got...
  9. Do ya’ll turn your AC off before turning truck off?

    We don't use our air conditioning in the Ranger much. But yes, we always turn the air conditioning off, BUT leave the fan on high. In previous vehicles we've owned if you didn't do this the next time you got in and turned the air conditioning on, the air coming out the vents would stink...
  10. Gibson Dual Exhaust Issues

    Does their site state what grade of stainless? Stainless Steels for Exhaust Systems
  11. Sweet spot for best MPG

    The corruption in government all started with one guy in a position of power, who took an oath, then didn't follow it, getting caught, and then making excuses and deflecting what he did onto others. You're part of the problem, not the solution.
  12. Sweet spot for best MPG

    Whatever you say officer. It's all there where you wrote it, in black and white.
  13. Sweet spot for best MPG

    My "moral sand in the ground" is follow the law., especially if you're a police officer. Seems like you should be saying that to folks, and not the other way around. We're talking about you stating that you routinely drive 15 mph over the speed limit, not 3 mph. Make all the excuses you want...
  14. Brand new 2021 (having issues)

    It's not a CVT, it's a 10R80. A joint venture between Ford and GM
  15. "Jolene" - 2021 Ranger Lariat Tremor

    Bummer. Other manufacturers make sliders with those flare outs. That way you can step up on that to secure items in the bed. But I didn't think Shrockworks made those? They show a set on a Colorado... but I didn't see it in the drop down selections as even available? Weird.
  16. Sweet spot for best MPG

    I'm not looking for anything other than honesty, and I thank you for being honest. I am surprised that an officer of the law, who has taken an oath to uphold the law, would think he is entitled to determine "if conditions render it safe" to not follow the law.
  17. Sweet spot for best MPG

    So, to clarify, you are in law enforcement, and you drive 15 mph over the speed limit on the interstate, and you do that on a routine basis.
  18. Sweet spot for best MPG

    In Georgia, it's actually dictated by the speed limit. 15 mph over, isn't that a reckless operation ticket looking for a place to happen?
  19. Sweet spot for best MPG

    What was the speed limit when you were driving 84 mph?
  20. Sweet spot for best MPG

    And turnabout is fair play. Some folks, like Megawatt, just bend over and take it. Other folk prefer to stand up for liberty.
