  1. RCMUSTANG's Magnetic FX4

    The level is 1.25-1.5"? No wheel spacers? Looks good from this angle.
  2. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    Generally, I do not buy extended warranties except for these modern new vehicles. I recommend them to all my friends when buying complicated cars. Especially considering the cost of labor and parts only goes up over time, more rapidly most recently due to several factors. I think my extended...
  3. RCMUSTANG's Magnetic FX4

    Very nice, love the color. I still love my 5g, especially with the recent power mods, it would be a RR that I would need to consider getting rid of my 5g. Is that a 1" or 2" level on the truck? Possible wheel spacers too?
  4. Report your MPG

    I'm guessing there aren't a lot of red lights and pretty flat landscape? Here in Vegas you're either climbing a little or descending. Plus traffic is worse now and they keep adding traffic lights with poor timing. With picking up my kids at school (long idling), I'm lucky to get 14-15mpg with...
  5. Report your MPG

    Holey smokes man, I dont think I have ever gotten more than 22MPG when road tripping. Even when on the stock tires but that said, it is not very flat around me either. I basically gave up until I noticed the Ford Tune gave me some mpg back. Seems to offset the K03 and then some. Not as good as...
  6. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    Yeah man, I try to remember the saying "This too shall pass" Different seasons in life we go through. Enjoy the good and the rough times are usually a good time to learn something from.
  7. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    Yes, for example Nevada is ranked pretty poorly but thankfully we have good charter schools which my boys attend. Curious what Ai will do with young kids growing up with it. Even with search engines, you still needed to think your way through things.
  8. 5 Hidden Ford Settings That Save Your 10-Speed (Before the $9,000 Bill)

    I have no idea why it would damage the trans but the reason I avoid Drive, even with the Ford tune now. I don't like how it seems like there is a 2-step engagement on shifts. At least at slow speed in my community at 25-30mph, it goes from 1 to 3, but I think it allows for some slip because if...
  9. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    I would assume the turbo could be different but I am betting the cams and intake manifold may be different as well. There was some video that went over the Ranger 2.3L vs Mustang and there was something different with the oiling system I think too? Been some years since I saw it, but Ford...
  10. Engine shot - Coolant intrusion - 74k miles on my Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 xlt

    Yeah I think Levittown Ford has 2.3L long blocks listed for under $6k? What a bummer man, an engine replacement is cheaper than a new truck though, hopefully Ford can help otherwise, find a good shop and it will cost a lot less. Mountune used to have custom 2.3L listed but think those were over...
  11. Nevada Used Tremor Grill

    Man, funny thing is that I was wondering if I could cut one up to get more airflow into the radiator lol I won't hog up parts though lol
  12. What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

    Funny name, how was airflow affected? Notice any reduction?
  13. Tow Mode

    I never drove in Drive enough to know what my MPG are. I just get so annoyed with drive that since the truck was new, it was either Tow/Haul or Sport mode. Briefly I would try drive and lock it to 6th gear max or 8th depending but I just can't stand the skipping gears. I would guess if you...
  14. 5 Hidden Ford Settings That Save Your 10-Speed (Before the $9,000 Bill)

    Have you or anyone tried this on the Ranger? So I presume in normal drive, it will act normally but not skip gears? That could be quite nice if so. Just looking for real world feedback. Even with the Ford tune, I still end up keeping it in tow/haul most of the time. More now so after the tune...
  15. New Tires Today (BFG KO3s)

    Man I love the k03. Coming from the k02, they basically fixed the issues I had with the k02.
  16. Headlight out already?

    3 years from a halogen? That is likely not bad at all. Especially if you use them as your Daylight running lights too. Just make sure if you stick with a halogen or Xeon type alternative that you don't touch the glass. The oils in your hands will help burn the bulb out sooner. I replace...
  17. Meet the New Truck

    For a second I was wondering if you were gonna go 6g 2.7L. Can't wait to see this one get your mods done to it.
  18. Fifth Gen 19-23 vs Sixth Gen 24+

    Man, crazy examples of the Yota forums but sounds like what I would expect. I just remember a lot of complaining about the Ranger being a 4cyl turbo and now I kinda laugh that ALL mid-size (except Nissan) is a Turbo 4. I see the Frontier as the black sheep of mid-size because while they never...
  19. Fifth Gen 19-23 vs Sixth Gen 24+

    Ford had their chance and probably missed it. The old days of car ads they should have made one of the Ranger doing tough stuff towing past a Toyota broken down on the side of the road. I think the Tundra engine recalls must be getting to the mainstream or close to it. The questionable stuff on...
  20. Ford Ranger Procal Performance Tune... a Journey

    Thanks, I guess it is normal then. Just had me scratching my head. Since tow/haul is what I drive in 80% of the time, comparing the tune in Tow/Haul is very noticeable. Sport mode being the other 20% also got a lot better. Drive is better than stock drive but I guess just not enough to maybe...
