Yep, you're right, sorry I was wrong on that progression. Still, not having fuel washing the intake valves does cause them to coke over time, and the Ranger will have that issue with the Direct Injection. Whether or not to address it with a catch can is up to each owner, as they are a pain to...
Damnit! I would have gotten the blackout package if it was available 2 months ago, so I didn't have to add black aftermarket wheels like I plan to eventually do. Oh, well, the other piece I'll probably want to add is the black lower fascia and the black bash plate once the parts department can...
"Everyone" was wrong, because the early 3.5L EcoBoost had Port Injection, which washed the oil pushed through the intake off the intake valves, making an oil catch can unnecessary on your 2011. Around 2014, I believe, it was changed to Direct Injection, and once there was no more fuel to wash...
I have a V series on order. They are now up on their website for the Ranger, which wasn't the case when I ordered it. Hoping it will be in by June 1st. I'll probably reach out to my dealer this week to see if he has any updates. I added a side windoor, which you can't get on the CX Revo...
And as a top dealership salesman, I know there are plenty of "green peas", as we call them, trying to sell cars, and spewing all sorts of BS to customers. Those idiots give the rest of us decent, knowledgeable salespeople a bad rap. They don't get, no matter how many times we tell them, that...
There is no brake controller for the Ranger available through dealerships yet. There wasn't even a part number when I asked my lead parts manager 2 weeks ago. When that original info came out quite a while back, it was determined that the one single dealer making those claims was looking at the...
A module is an additional piece of hardware that plugs in. That is completely different from a software flash.
All it takes is a simple misinterpretation of a description online, and all sorts of folks start spreading rumors, and then trashing a manufacturer and it's suppliers for knowing...
I also don't think there is any sort of flash that a dealer can do for the Redarc controller. I think the talk about a flash and info showing up on the Ranger's dash screen came from the controller from Ford parts for the F150's (that don't have the built-in controller). I think early on, some...
I have an ARE V series (cab high) with the aluminum frame windows and full width hinge rear door, on order. It should be in by May, I'm told. The CX REVO is very cool looking, but my concern was long term durability of the frameless windows and dual hinge rear glass over years of off-roading...
DD can't keep up with production of the existing lighting they've already had out for a while. I've been waiting on a set of turn signals for my Mustang for over a year now, they get a batch made, then they're sold out, and they're out of stock for months on end. They have some pretty cool...
Ford sprays the tie downs at the factory. Our bedliner guy removed them on the first Ranger he did and it destroyed the bolts, so he had to replace all of the bolts.
On the F150, the bolts are easy to remove. The first Super Duty he did also destroyed the bolts while trying to remove them...
It's a good looking grille on both the Ranger and F150, but the grille alone doesn't make either truck look like the Raptor version. It's just a nice looking grille upgrade, nothing more, in my opinion.
Any of you with XLs or XLTs that want to add leather should definitely consider the Katskinz. Their leather is really nice - I actually like it better than factory leather, and they allow you to choose your colors and patterns, so you can really customize for not a lot of extra money, often...
Back in 2000, I had K&N in a couple of vehicles. Oiled properly, cleaned only when needed, as over-cleaning allows more dirt through. Found fine dust on the clean side of the intake tubes on both vehicles. Trashed both K&N's, and have never thought twice about ever using that garbage again...
