Well...this is dissapointing...I live in NC where it rarely snows and when it does, they just spray a light coat of brine on the highway which I would then work from home to stay out of the crap...I only drive in the rain when caught it it by accident...so when I saw my exhaust handing down...

Yes, right...at just over 120,000 miles...pad thickness still roughly 7-8mm all around...I'm looking for opinions on Ceramic only pads for their improved longevity, dustless and noise.... Anyone have the part number for OEM pads currently on the Ranger?

Ya, Google came up with zero answers...does anyone know if it's possible to order a second plate in a "one plate" state? My reason is that I want to avoid having to move my rear plate from truck to motorcycle hitch carrier every time I use use it...the bike block the truck plate so I have to...

Not sure if this has been brought up but...is it possible? What would it take to make this happen?

Very interesting tangent for FF...they're know for well sorted out Cobra replicas...wonder if they'll branch out into mid size Ranger... https://www.factoryfive.com/xt1/

Had to make an emergency trip at 3am this morning...cruise set at 65 speed limit and alone on the freeway...suddenly, OH SH*T!!! Horns blasting, two or more young deer sprinted from the darkness right across in front of me...I was able to miss the first one but the second one collided somewhere...

EDIT! To make it easier for newbies to find the new MBS dipstick, here is Mike's site: https://mikesbuildshop.com/ This has been mentioned and asked for in many threads but can we have any vendor here support an alternative to the outrageously priced B&M dip stick? Anyone? Anyone? Low...

So we're all familiar with RC hobby...here's one that caught my eye...taking a hike with a fleet of overland Camel Expedition Range Rovers...

I honestly didn't watch every second to find out what they spent...I'm just guessing pars + labor...not sure why they upgraded the head lights then stuck with incandescent base tail lamps...

UPDATED 8-21-2023 This is I've found on this forum without much effort...please feel free to add others I've missed and from other sources regarding this transmission... https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/my-perfect-ranger-with-an-imperfect-transmission.22991/...

Msfitoy has been crossed the 100K milestone and still looks like she just rolled off the line...albeit a 1,000 times improved...

Well, I hate to report this but Msfitoy has found it's Achilles Heal. The 10R80 has failed. With less than 1,000 miles before reaching her 100K milestone, the conditions has deteriorated to a very unreliable state that forced her to be parked until her service appointment. Which, to add insult...

I can't seem to find a definitive answer...is SP594 CYFS12Y ok to use?

Yes, I know this subject is not new and I have seen many posting around this subject. But every one is different and doesn't quite fit my truck's behavior. As many of you know, I have one of the highest mileage 5G here (90K) and she's been just about perfect in every aspect. Lately, I've...
