I never found my brakes to be mushy must of been lucky in that mine seem to have been bled and set up properly

Pretty dry summer in OR this year and she was just doing short trips on the freeway. I’ve wondered about the traction control or something out of balance on the proportioning but as yamahaSHO pointed out the wear should still be even between the inner and outer pads when the floating pistons are...

Turbo mode all the way !

You are correct with the e brake engaging the inner pads. The system uses an integral parking brake assembly that extends the pistons via a winding motion when the parking brake lever rotates on the caliper

To follow up on my rear brake issue, just completed a pad replacement and did not find an obvious cause of the extreme wear on only the inner pads. Slider pins moved very smooth and were properly greased. I did find some resistance initially to get the caliper pistons to start retracting...

Well for anyone attempting to service their rear brakes on the ranger you will need a caliper wind back piston retractor tool that has both a right and left hand thread. The drivers side piston must be turned in counter clockwise and the passengers side is clockwise. Make sure to use the...

Can anyone confirm if just a standard clockwise piston turning tool is required? Some fords I’ve encountered required both a clockwise and counterclockwise drive assembly to do both the drives and passengers side. thanks

I did both my diff’s at 20k and glad I did….fluid was nasty. After getting the break in fluid out probably wont do them again for another 50k

Your going to love the Levo! Ebikes are a game changer. I’ve had my turbo kenevo for two seasons now and it’s one of my most prized possessions. Specialized is really dialed with the new tech. The levo wont make you soft you can still crank away as hard as you want the difference is you can do...

I did the extended warranty at signing for peace of mind. So far the dealer has been such a shit show and always scheduling months out every time I’ve had an issue with my truck I’ve fixed it myself out of pocket. The way I see it is that the warranty is only worth it for catastrophic failures...

Rear Inner pads on both sides are evenly gone. I always evenly coat the slider pins with quality high temp caliper grease. Not overpacking the boot by any means. I also always pull the boots out and check for corrosion in the bore as that can interfere with the pins sliding smoothly. After...

Just drove our Ranger for the first time since early summer. Instantly heard the wear indicates on the rear brakes. My wife has been driving the truck occasionally this summer while I have been gone with my work truck, but not a lot of miles. I did a full inspection of the truck this spring to...

I’ve towed my 5k enclosed trailer up the Coquihalla summit a few times. The last section heading north of the great bear snow shed is brutal. The ranger does very well in tow mode. RPM and gear selection are dam near spot on. Wish I had pre turbo pyrometers though as I’m used to running my 5.9l...

I run my 14k dump trailer almost daily behind my 1ton dodge at work. I’ve also got over 10k towing a 2 place enclosed aluminum snowmobile trailer behind the ranger that usually would gross 6,500lbs. if your going to use the dump trailer for yard debris, household garbage etc. it would be a...

I would agree that removing the hub nut is the way to go. I used a ratchet strap to keep my half shafts in place and avoid putting strain on the CVs when dropping the LCA and knuckle out of the way when swapping the coil overs. The wheel hub nut should be replaced. I had 221ft/lbs in my notes...

Nice looking rig! What bumper is that ?

Ive had great luck with my SPC upper arms. Missed the group buy on the Icons and wasn't feeling like dishing out the cash for the APG so I settled on the SPC to accommodate my steel spindles. Im running Fox 2.5s on all four corners. Some points I noticed during install: -The xAxis bushing set...

$5.29/gal here! By the time my warning comes on its basically an $80 fill. And I've got some extra air with the OME leafs. Rough times

I recently installed the OME 600lb constant weight leafs and Fox 2.5s all around and even with 800+lbs of gear in the bed the rear of the truck is still very high, approximately 2-2.5in over stock height. With around 400lbs on the bed (my cap, RRT, bed drawers+gear) the rear sits ~2.75 over...

Does anyone by chance have measurements from center of hub to bottom of fender on a stock height FX4 front and rear? I was in a rush when installing my OME leaf springs and Fox 2.5s and didn't get any pre lift measurements. I'm trying to establish how much lift I ended up with as the rear is...
