I love the mailbox scoop! :crackup:

My wife did that with a few cars before getting her Jeep RHD in 2016. The first was a 93 Olds Eighty-Eight with that 3800 engine that was bullet proof, too bad the car didn't handle stop and go without getting hot so well. I replaced the fans with better after market fans and added a manual...

FedEx if finally showing the manuals out for delivery, they were only due last Wednesday. Update: And the CD install fixed my access to the Focus service manual that broke when I had to reset Windows before the Windows 11 upgrade. Yes, I copy the disk to my HD and update the tsobrowser.ini...

Thanks for the replies. That is what I was thinking. I know seeing the Toyota news recently that 2018 and newer not allowing the key fob remote start without a subscription likely drove me to asking this question.

I'm still new and catching up, so please excuse the old thread revival. If the Ranger's tow package included a port to hook up any aftermarket controller as found in full size trucks I could see not including it, maybe someone has a controller they really like or planned to move one between...

I'm not really wanting to pay AT&T for data (at least not the advertised options) when my cell phone plan has unlimited data. What features of the Ranger are dependent on the AT&T connection? If I've configured my home Wi-Fi in the truck, will it use that connection when available so that I...

Fix: Dog rides in the back.

I've always been a 4 cyl runs at close to 2k or more. Only really below 2k on when cruising on level or decline road, and no lower than ~1750. I've been using the manual lockout of the upper gears so that the rpm is where I'm comfortable and I never really feel like the engine is lugging for a...

I know. So I put out a "Field of Dreams"ish quote. :wink: (note to self, use smileys so the other forum users know I get jokes)

Relax, this was just built, they will come.

Or a Honda with a 5spd JDM transaxle... 60mph = 3400rpm. My engine's (B20Z) redline was 6700. Test drive was a road trip from NC to PA with only 17 miles on the swap the night before I left. I was going 80MPH on the highway at ~4500 in a car with no carpet or sound insolation. Everyone at the...

I auto-xed a few STs before the RS was announced. Loved them, but after years in a FWD Civic I was looking toward RWD or AWD for my next Auto-x car. Loving hatchback and having a budget I was feeling limited to a used ~2012 STI or a Golf R, then Ford announced the RS. I had my deposit for my at...

I'm not sure there is an increase in "work" as you state. To me the engine had a better mechanical advantage in lower gears, and while it's turning a higher rpm the work should be about the same. Think of leverage, more power over short distance with short lever vs less power over long distance...

I saw thread for a couple other unique colors, I figured Cyber Orange could use one too. If there is one that I failed to locate, just point me to it. My Cyber Orange 21 XLT (mid) That Gothic Gray 84 Civic in the back ground I first bought in about `97 before selling it in `01, then buying...

Welcome, great pair of rides you got! :)

If you have the parts to test I would test just to rule it out 100% before selling. I'm sure you can make them working, but if plug and play doesn't it becomes a how much to you want to invest time and effort wise to make it happen. I think it would just need real sensors and a small computer...

Thanks, I've suspected this maybe the case if the Ranger development team didn't plan any module in the Ranger to receive the oil temp/pressure messages they may not have programmed the PCM to broadcast them.

And this is why I have the service and electrical manuals for all my cars, and now truck (well once it's delivered). I can pre-diagnose issues and the tech at the garage is use to me bringing my ideas and reasoning to the advisor up front. If I can pretest and roll in with a lazer pointing on a...

Maybe, I would say more likely with a 2WD Ranger as I think some things on the Ranger 2.3 were changed for clearance of 4WD components. But, if those changed parts just mount on the front/side maybe the Ranger parts can be moved to that block. If the engine is not set up to support pulley driven...

Well, I've ordered an ST harness and an OBD-2 connector pigtail so I can make a testing adapter once those arrive. I'll just pull the gauge from the RS before buying the ST gauge since that would be the most expensive single part. If it works I'll buy the rest of the parts (ST boost and oil...
