What the hay? 11 bales in the first picture. Ranger towed the round bale trailer like it wasn't even there. I was impressed.

I used Amsoil in my 1999 V8 Dakota with 15k mile oil changes. I did that from 80k miles up to when I traded it in at 150,000 miles. The only thing left on that truck when I (happily) got rid of it that was decent was the inside of that engine. Still ran like a top. I might use Amsoil in my...

Would be a nice turn of events if manufacturers would simply sale directly to the public, much like Tesla does. Dealers have earned that bad reputation, especially when they add their B.S. market adjustments and dealer add ons to the vehicles.

I watched my local Ford dealer doing a full synthetic oil change on my Ranger. He used Motorcraft Full Synthetic, that's what it said on the quart bottles anyway. On the subject of small town dealerships. When I had a 1999 Dodge Dakota which was from 2006 to 2009, I found this little out of...

This might be better. Stage 3 did an install video.

I had it installed just a few days ago. It took two guys three hours. It's currently on the center setting. I like it, the truck feels much more planted and not so floaty around turns.

I just took some measurements of the OEM muffler. These are for the body of the muffler. I didn't measure the hangers or the pipe on either end since mine was cut off before the flanges. The body is 23 inches long 12.5 inches wide 8 inches tall Inlet and outlet are 2.5 inches diameter

Okay, I just got a picture of the inside of the pipe where the 1 inch opening is. The perforations run for more like 2 inches of the pipe, not the 4 to 6 inches like I thought I saw yesterday.

No problem. I'll try to get a picture of the inside showing the perforated part this afternoon.

That's what I was saying in my first post. For a good four to six inches before the 1 inch opening, the pipe is perforated. Whoever took that picture claiming the one inch opening didn't see that the pipe was perforated. It definitely isn't just a one inch opening in other words, it has more...

Not sure if anyone else has posted this about the OEM muffler. I got my muffler replaced with an aftermarket straight through one. I kept the old muffler. Looking down in it with a flashlight confirmed my suspicions. Yes, the one inch opening is there. BUT, before that for maybe four to six...

11,500 miles. Only issue were some very hard downshifts into 1st gear when coming to a stop. A few times, I thought the car behind me had run into me. It was fixed with a dealer installed software update.

First thing I did to mine was to add some stick on blind spot mirrors. You can get them at any parts store.

I got the three piece set of this stuff. Really good quality. Came with everything needed. https://scratcheshappen.com/

I wonder if it still holds true that if an engine will use oil, it will do it with Mobil 1. It has been 10 years. But this is something I saw in my 1999 5.2 liter Dakota. It used oil with Mobil 1 but this oil usage stopped when I switched to Amsoil. I was doing 5,000 mile oil changes with...

I love that Australian utility bed.

Wednesday I installed a 2 channel Blackvue DR900s dashcam. The 4k front and 1080p rear is very nice to have. Only problem is that the passenger side windshield wiper doesn't cover much of the windshield up top. I mounted it not realized this until it rained. It needs to be somewhere where...

I like that idea. Not too shabby.

I had an Xpel clear bra installed on my truck last week. It covers the front of the fenders, the front portion of the factory fender flares and 1/3rd of the hood. I live near one of the largest quarries in Texas. I get behind A LOT of gravel trucks. Most of them cover their loads but some...

That's what I did with my 2014 Sentra remote. The open trunk button kept getting hit while in my pocket. I'd walk out to the car from a store to an open trunk. I pulled the remote apart, removed the button piece from inside the case. Then I reassembled the remote. I then took a tiny section...
