Just installed front B8 shocks and rear OME nitro charged shocks in mine. I love the stance. The rear went down about an inch and the front raised about the same (front adjustable ride height shocks set at middle tick). They are just as comfortable on a flat surface as the stock FOMOCO shocks...

Sometimes just walking by the drivers door with the key in my pocket does it. Good morning to you also truck.

My friends 2016 Tacoma 3.5 v6 gets 17.4 average. Mine is almost 4 MPG better than his truck and much quicker. I love tacos, but these rangers are more modern of a truck I would say when bringing economy and drivability into the equation.

2020 XLT super crew sport package: Odometer: 14900 50/50 city HW driving. 20.8 MPG FPP Tuned since 2500 miles. Running 92 octane.

A dealer offered me 31k for my truck last month. When it’s selling value is 39k… bought my XLT 2020 sport for 37000 out the door. 0% APR ?

Each bolt was tightened using a 1/2” torque wrench with a 1/2” to 3/8” adapter and 3/8” socket size. The adaptor is maybe 1” long.

Yes you could have not explained it any clearer. Im sorry to hear about that! yeah I’ve been the same since ever since les Schwab forgot to forgot to install Cam bolts with my new upper control arms. Driving in the winter at that time was crazy.. No issue in checking the work of other people...

I noticed during our cold weather about a month ago (30 degrees F) a cold start almost bird chirping/scraping noise from my drivers wheel well. Might be pulley bearings.. the truck has two belts on the front of the engine. The rear belt in mine has smearing white letters (part number and MFG...

That’s a little concerning. Imagine being an older gentlemen and not being able to crawl under as easily to check things out. How much off roading have you done, in a percentage? I have done maybe 5 miles of off roading total in this truck.

I don’t understand what you are trying to defend by calling battle ship. This truck has never seen anything more than maybe 5 miles of logging roads. Other than that it’s a pavement prince. also I am not talking about the wheel lug torque from production. I checked that the moment I bought my...

I would imagine maybe the torque differences in air tools on the assembly line and the clicking 1/2” torque wrenches I have used are slightly different in the reading they give out. But for me, 11 ft/lbs missing from each upper strut mount is too much to rationalize the difference in how the two...

It felt like the ball joints were moving around or the upper strut mount shifting slightly into place when the suspension settles during a Parked period. Almost the same type of popping sound that comes from a loose CV joint. Some things I noticed, all the boots and suspension components felt...

Hey everyone, Did a suspension retorque this weekend and now my truck is quieter on the road over bumps and the steering feels more spot on. A year ago I took it to the dealer asking for them to retorque it due some cold start clunking from my steering. I left it over night for that, an oil...

Glad to hear your transmission is shifting good! I had the TSB work done for the cold start harsh shifting problem also (at 10k mikes) and it seemed to help with the sticking 1st gear on acceleration. Not immediately, but after a few days of driving. The dealer said if it keeps doing it then...

Yeah those wranglers are def a trip on the freeway.. I like the pitman steering. It just has a certain feel on the road you don’t get with a steering rack. Sounds like you treated the Jeep well. The seats in my 15’ patriot were also very uncomfortable. As if they were designed for one type of...

How come you got rid of the Glad?

The way it shifts from 1st to 3rd gear kind of reminds me of the way the old 4 speed 4.6/5.4L used to shift. It tends to hold the gear until it feels comfortable to shift based on programming. Honestly fords hate the seasons so if you don’t drive often you will probably experience shifting...

Contacted GFB also and asked about maintenance of the brass piston with cleaning/re-oil and they said: “There is no need to periodically maintain your valve, it has been designed as a maintenance free part. Although, there is no harm in visually checking any automotive component periodically...

Just installed mine! Haven’t driven it on the road yet. I like how much more heavy duty the GFB internals are compared to the stock valve. Wonder how it will perform under boost conditions now that it’s partially close/opening. I just chipped the plastic piece that’s needs to be taken off of the...
