  1. Belt Tensioner SNAPPED OFF

    I am well aware of the history of this failure. I said nothing untrue.
  2. Belt Tensioner SNAPPED OFF

    I agree, the catastrophic failure seems more than just the hose giving way. Unless over time, a completely unattached hose causes undue instability, wear, vibration and ultimately seizure. Then whammo!
  3. Belt Tensioner SNAPPED OFF

    A few people have reported finding the deteriorating hose, with no other damage. So I think the catastrophic event where things fail and rips everything to shreds is extremely rare. My hose always seemed fine, but I did reinforce it, not to the extreme of others. I simply took a piece of thick...

    Raptor - dual electric fans. Just sayin'
  5. Trading in 2023 XLT for 2026 Raptor.. questions

    I think I am going to hold out for the 2026 Goosetuned. A little pricier but I have seen nothing but great reviews. Not too worried about the warranty. And yeah, there's nothing much else I want to change, it's so well-equipped.
  6. Trading in 2023 XLT for 2026 Raptor.. questions

    The Raptor suspension is sooooo much better! The Watts link rear axle is great.
  7. Trading in 2023 XLT for 2026 Raptor.. questions

    Just went over my first 1k miles. I felt the same way about trading in a perfectly good truck. But damn I like the Raptor. I figure it was coming up on 78k, never replaced the brakes, never replaced the battery, coming up on another transmission service etc. So there's that. And I love the sound...
  8. Nice Ranger Raptor!

    It didn't have that, just the "Raptor" stickers on the bedsides.
  9. Nice Ranger Raptor!

    I had the dealer take off the "Raptor" decals before delivery. Couldn't stand them. I also took off the dealer sticker on the tailgate. Looks so much better.

    First full moon rising this month (there will be two). My Ranger Raptor can be seen (barely) directly below the moon.

    And prevent the impending ice age.

    Damn, that sucks.
  13. Rodent nest plus dog food HVAC help

    Those in the link have a huge variance in price, from $50 to $360, depending on how many G's you want, whatever that is.
  14. Darwin Award Thread

    Reminds of the tour bus trip we took along the Million Dollar Highway in Co. You could look out the bus window and see nothing but straight down. No guard rails (that I remember). That to me was nerve wracking. Glad we had an experienced driver.

  16. PAID UP!

    Here is Duck.ai's response: Who’s on the car title depends on how the loan and purchase were arranged: If you bought the car and financed it in your name only: the title usually lists you as the owner and the lender as a lienholder (the lender’s name appears as lienholder until the loan is...

    That's what I was thinking.
