  1. Beating other trucks from the line

    I can't find ft/sec on my speedometer? ..... and using a calculator is too distracting :stop:
  2. Shrockworks fail!!

    They don't have "stick nuts" at Ace.... and picking a higher grade doesn't always mean better. As a rule, the stronger the bolt, the more brittle it is. Sometimes the designer will want the bolt to give a bit... rather than just snap in two. You won't find stainless bolts that are a steel...
  3. Shrockworks fail!!

    Shrockworks tried to make it right. Trying to find good employees is a nightmare, now more than ever. Shrockworks build an excellent quality product that not only looks great, but is super strong and fits great. To avoid such issues in the future, maybe order the parts so they arrive in enough...
  4. Robbery

    It's not a typo... in Feb 2021 they were $90 MSRP at Levitown Ford...
  5. Tow Mode - Engine Braking - Your Max RPM

    I'm pretty strict on not exceeding speed limits.... but in this case I'm also trying to ensure I don't toast the transmission too. Engine braking in an automatic transmission seems to good to be true... at least for an older fella like me.
  6. How do you know its working?

    Weird. Only place my 2019 manual mentions "Curve Control" is where it talks about curve control being disabled if you select "Sand" mode in "Terrain Control"? Note: The curve control portion of the AdvanceTrac® system is unavailable when you select Sand or Mud/Ruts. If the system becomes...
  7. Tow Mode - Engine Braking - Your Max RPM

    Reverse torque? Engine braking loads everything backwards from what ratings state. With a manual transmission, how the gears are cut determines how the transmission capacity is during engine braking. Accelerating loads one side of each gear tooth, engine braking loads the other side. I'm...
  8. 10,000 miles, a realization, and a (nasty) surprise.

    As a rule.. People Suck! Do they have parking lot camera's where you work?
  9. Tow Mode - Engine Braking - Your Max RPM

    I'm not saying anything you stated is incorrect... but 4,000 RPM's via constant engine braking on a down hill slope is totally different in regard to drivetrain loading than accelerating at 4,000 rpm's. When accelerating the RPM's aren't sustained for long periods of time... with engine...
  10. Beating other trucks from the line

    Writing you up for "Reckless Operation" sounds like a dick head move by the cop unless there is more to the story....... but.... tell us more about what you were driving, and how you were driving. Is there more to your story? Bone stock vehicle? Stock Exhaust? Tires squeeling? In a school...
  11. Tow Mode - Engine Braking - Your Max RPM

    When going downhill, in Tow Mode, what are you folks that tow trailers using as a "max" rpm when going down hill, before you apply brakes? We did a 180 mile round trip Home Depot run this week, 1st chance I got to use "Tow Mode" on some significant elevation variations (6,000 feet). Toggling...
  12. Gas filling funnel

    Airports... or here: Beechcraft King Air
  13. Gas filling funnel

    Reminds me of a "piss tube" off a Beach Craft King Air.... ✈
  14. Ford Ranger Receives KBB's 5-Year Cost to Own Award (Most Affordable Truck in Class)

    We've owned Tacoma's since '97, trouble free trucks. Our last one was a '02. The typically bad "sittin' on the floor seating, the lack of availability of a manual transmission, and the transformers / go-bot styling is what made us look to the competition. Happy Trails!
  15. Ford Ranger Receives KBB's 5-Year Cost to Own Award (Most Affordable Truck in Class)

    Wow, quite an adventure. Kudo's to you for giving Ford a chance to make it right. So are you driving a Tacoma now?
  16. Tremor step removal

    It is strange. They have a capable off-road truck, with the lift and larger tires, then they put steps on that will get busted by the first rock they encounter.
  17. Gas filling funnel

    I don't know. For an unused funnel, you could always wrap a shop rage around the funnel and stuff it in beside the jack. If it's been used though I'd suggest putting the funnel in a zip-lock bag so your truck doesn't wreak of gas. I would buy the funnel from Ford. Why take a chance on...
  18. Ford Ranger Receives KBB's 5-Year Cost to Own Award (Most Affordable Truck in Class)

    So were you trading them in and buying another in hopes the issue wouldn't happen on the next one?
  19. Tremor step removal

    I'm amazed that the Tremor doesn't have frame mounted rock sliders. The step style they chose are just not functional, as steps, or as sliders. Poser move on Fords part.
  20. Beating other trucks from the line

    Yes on page 157: You can move the control between 2H to 4H at a stop or when driving up to 68 mph (110 km/h). Which seems a bit bizarre and overly specific, don't you think? 50, 60, or 70 mph... sure good round numbers... but 68? Weird.
