Had trans fluid drain/fill a year ago at the dealership when I hit 70K, I'm going to install PPE standard depth pan tomorrow and change the filter/gasket/filter seal while I'm down there. I know they are reusable, but who knows when I'll have all that opened up again. Mercon and Lubegard are at...

I have those same Icon coilovers in the front and leafs+shocks in the rear--when you say you were on your bump stop, do you have their bump stops as well? I put their bump stops on same time as everything else, but I remember reading here some say that that was a bad idea because it allows too...

From what I recall, lots of folks had success mitigating their take-off vibrations by greasing their two-piece driveshaft. Here is a thread that has additional discussion, as well as a linked video showing you how to grease it yourself if that's how you want to proceed...

I know folks on here tap them back into alignment using a small hammer. I looked at my Icons last week and noticed a small amount of movement as well, but they have robust alignment brackets on them so I'm not too worried

I am running Fuel Off-Road Mavericks that are 20" but unfortunately I don't know other specs with certainty because they were something the original owner put on. I always liked the aggressive stance of my truck and had no desire to change it, so I haven't put any real effort to understand the...

Curious about not touching the bump stops, is it because of the notorious issue with the bolt breaking on removal?

Thanks for you input Mike and you poked at the reason why I asked the question—the input hose I have is 6mm OD but it has a connector end up to the motor that requires 10mm ID and most hoses I could find if I needed a replacement would be 12mm OD, so nearly 1/2" and I knew that would be cutting...

Question for you Tony -- I purchased a 12V pump from Menards and it came with a 48" inlet tube. In your experience, is that a sufficient length for it to go down the MBS dipstick to extract the trans fluid? My gut tells me yes, but I'd rather be more sure before I make the effort to set...

I can't find the brand name, but the one I have is black but made exactly the same. It's been two years now and it is as durable as can be, so I think you'll be good for the long haul. This was the moment I knew it was time for a back seat cover: But when your dog is an adventure queen, I've...

100% the CV boot is ripped. It's a good thing you noticed it now. CV axle is considered covered under most powertrain warranties

PPE raw aluminum standard pan arrived yesterday. Already have 10 qts of Mercon and a replacement filter from RockAuto. Used Ford points to get a free gasket (why not? I'll already be down there) Just need lubegard platinum and I'm ready for the install and service. My MBS dipstick should make...

No not weird, I'm looking forward to that task as well. I'm still 700 miles away from 3000 since my last change and I'm getting impatient 😂

Swapped out the OE front stabilizer links with SuperPro's adjustable. Out of all the mods I've done, this one was probably the most fun. The process to set them without any preload was really satisfying, like a sudoku for the brain. It is genuinely surprising how much roll these eliminate in...

Now that I have Icon 2.5 coilovers installed on the front, time to button up the last weak point and replace the OE front stabilizers. I think it's kind of a miracle that I haven't snapped one yet given their plastic ends. I know the Mevotech TTXs are a solid choice, but decided to go with...

The purchase page has instructions on how to do this: https://4xshaft.com/collections/ford-products/products/5th-generation-ford-ranger-rear-drive-shaft but essentially you crawl under the truck with measuring tape and measure from flange to flange. When I measured, it was 66 3/4" from end to...

Sun was going down when I picked it up so didn't get a good picture, but whew what a difference. I can take corners so much faster now. Just eyeballing it looks a good inch or more higher in the front and level with the rear. Will adjust the headlights tomorrow. Lots of threads showing at the...

My first vehicle at 16 years old was a 1992 Dakota with this exact paint/wheel package (though the photo isn't mine, I'd have to dig up an old one somewhere) with a V8 and dual straight-pipe Flowmasters out back that produced a rich, deep rumble that always surprised everyone, with credit to the...

Dropped it off to have Icon 2.5" extended travel coilovers installed. Already have Icon leaf springs and shocks in the rear, so I'm really looking forward to having a balanced system. Front Diff is already dropped so I told them to give me the full 3.5" lift in the front, should level out with...

You just described late-stage capitalism :flag:
