  1. Oil Viscosity

    Unfortunately the fuel type won't help as it is injected past the valves directly into the chamber so it doesn't wash them clean like port injection does. Walnut blasting is not too involved and seems to do a really good job. Running cleaners through the intake might help but runs the risk of...
  2. Anyone tried turbo flutter for fun?

    I was thinking of having my BOV vent to atmosphere through a squeezy toy whistle or maybe a whoopee cushion.
  3. Adaptive cruise control... I love you.

    I swear by ACC. Did a long trip this summer (5K round trip) and I feel it significantly improved my safety and reduced my fatigue levels. Yes, it is annoying when a effing Tesla car cuts you off and causes a big slowdown, but I would have had to hit the brakes manually anyway. You just need to...
  4. Why did you pick the Ranger over the Tacoma?

    Kind of looks like they turned off the high beams right before the crash?
  5. Report your MPG

    Got 24.7 on a 200 mile trip in the rain running the LT265/65R17, 40 psi and and no lift.
  6. Sync update.. again

    Master reset fixed mine after a rocky USB update. I had my dash cam plugged into the other USB port and that caused all kinds of issues, I thought I had bricked it.
  7. What did Santa bring you for your Ranger?

    Got the Valvomax drain plug and NOCO battery charger. Also got fly fishing stuff for Euro Nymphing (get your head out of the gutter, it's a real thing).
  8. To warm-up or not to warm-up...

    Remote start while I put my shoes on and wait for low idle before taking off. Might need a damper heater for those really cold mornings, the tailgate drops soooo slowly.
  9. Budget DIY Mods for the Thrifty

    I have engine cover envy. I bought the Lariat but was robbed by Ford! At least I do have the manual cover, rear diff drain plug and hood struts.
  10. Budget DIY Mods for the Thrifty

    Well I am a software engineer... I type faster than I can think unfortunately :)
  11. Budget DIY Mods for the Thrifty

    Like the red tow points and calipers :thumbsup:
  12. My mouse fix

    Finally some de-contenting we actually want :clap:
  13. Quick Lane Oil Change.....Not

    I am not arguing any of your points about dealerships, they can be pretty hard to trust. I only have had to replace a caliper once and it was in a 25 year old Volvo. I just want my truck to be the last vehicle I buy, so I will be doing, maybe over doing the maintenance on it to get it to last as...
  14. Quick Lane Oil Change.....Not

    I think the issue is that it gets cooked.
  15. Transmission Any Better with 2023's?

    I was driving the downhill twisties out of Bend Oregon this summer and tried tow mode. The engine braking was fun. Every time I touched the brakes, it would downshift and rev up to about 4k.
  16. bright headlights

    Yeah, on certain roads my auto high beams are going on and off a lot and do sometimes flash people. I just take it off auto when that happens.
  17. Transmission Any Better with 2023's?

    A bit off topic as I have a 2021, but I did notice a significant change in shift points when I last changed my oil. I had been using full synthetic and tried a synthetic blend (both Walmart SuperTech). The synthetic blend was noticeably more runny when pouring it in. Now my shift points are at...
  18. Another Deleted Item Coming Soon

    How will we be able to enable Bambi mode? Thanks for shining a light on this illuminating article!
  19. Quick Lane Oil Change.....Not

    I have been doing my own oil changes and rotations. Since I can just squeeze under the truck, it is fairly fast and easy to get the drain plug off. The hardest part is removing the skid plate, so I put a Valvomax plug on my Christmas list. I should be able to drain the oil with the plate still...
  20. Quick Lane Oil Change.....Not

    I once had a root canal where the dentist gave me a card for a free milkshake at a nearby ice cream place. I asked him if he saw the irony in it. He claimed people get low blood sugar from dental work lol.
