I had done the magic eraser a few times, then I went to Acetone to strip off the oxidized top layer, then I bought these:

$117.89 with the discount code, they are made in and ship from Thailand, I figured if they were bogus I could get my money back...
I am looking for a stock cat converter, in any condition, good, bad, anything, here in Calif a high flow aftermarket one will not make it through a smog check, I want to get a stock one and "of course leave it stock" yeah, all stock... looking!
Thanks,
Mike
Well, I was happy, the dealer finally replaced the CDF drum, it was only the 5th or 6th visit for the shifting.
When I got it back, driving home it had a burning smell, banging underneath, the shifter felt weird, so I thought I better have a look, holy f#ck, it was so bad, almost too much to...
Has anyone squeezed in a bigger tire on a stock wheel without removing/replacing the crash bars? the stock Tremor size is the 265-70-17
I know lots of bigger tires have gone on lifted rangers, I'm hoping something, anything bigger will fit, I don't think a 275-70-17 will fit but it may...
I Gutted the inside of my truck to change the carpet to a rubber mat, (a whole different story) while I was at it, I figured I would Kilmat everywhere the factory sound deadener was missed, when I pulled off the rear panel behind the back seat, I found one vent open, one vent with this black...
I think they are all the same from 19-21, I want a cat to play around with, I want to take off all the heat shields and see how well I can cobble them onto a aftermarket cat, that way I stand a better chance of passing a visual inspection at the smog station.
Thanks!
Hey Everyone,
I'm Mike, from Mike's Build Shop,
I figured I would put up a new topic and formally introduce my product, it's a Extended Automatic transmission Dipstick, for the 2019-2023 2.3T Ford Ranger with 10R80 transmission. Not like anyone is tired of the 160+ page previous topic that...
I got the hot/cold pipe kit, did a mock up with just the pipe and it does not really fit
So, I was hoping to get some pics of other installs, hopefully to see if they are all this close or if I got the goofy pipe, better yet, maybe a measurement from the weld in the pipe seam to the coupler...
All I could do was laugh, talk about perfectly planned obsolescence, although, the laughing ended when I had to pay for the new one!
Ford nailed that one, maybe it has a built in sensor that fails the battery when the warranty expires.
Needless to say I did not buy a Motorcraft battery, the...
I was wondering, my is back again, fairly long list, trans, Sync, brakes, belt trim, door handle, console lid, the common ones, it's 22k now, and this is the 3rd time back.
I absolutely love the truck, I would even buy it again knowing I could have some problems, it's perfect for me, hauls ass...
I have seen all the posts and comments about it on here before, I thought "It's working fine" and I'm not even going to crawl under there with the thick gloves and long sleeves to check it.
Well it hit 116 degrees here and the trans started whine at that temp, I was about to go on a 2k trip...
It was parked down the street from my house all day, I just kept laughing at it, the tag axle is a straight axle like a trailer axle, small little brakes.
It looks weird the way they did the rear fenders to match the rake not the bed rail, that rear axle must really screech the tires on a U...
I know it was stated here before, but I figured I would put it up again.
I spoke with Ford today and I asked about the warranty with the tune, he said "it's complicated" up to 36/36 Ford will cover any failure, after that, if Ford determines the failure is from the tune, it's not covered...
My sync is slow, it will not show the XM channel after startup, sometimes you can change the channel and it will change but the screen shows nothing, it's blank only where the channel image/song is, other times you can't change the channel, or you change the channel and it may or may not take...
I have read that Ford can tell when something has been written to the ECU, apparently it leaves a time stamp in the memory, but can they see what it is?
I have the Ford tune, I had the dealer I used to work at install it, now I am considering a more aggressive tune and especially one that does...
I had not used it before, I thought I would give it a try, crap, in the last 4 days it has gone from in the high $4 rang to the mid $5 range, yesterday it was mid to high $6 range, with only one station in the high $5 range. Can,t wait for today, I bet I see the first $7 station.
I need to buy...
This is funny, unless I'm reading it wrong (read it several times) Ford Authority screwed up the info;
"Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that both the Ranger and F-150 feature fuel economy ratings that are considerably higher than what the window stickers state, which forces owners to pay...
I finally got bored enough and fed up enough to screw around with the DI pump, I have been looking closely at the pump and it's crash bracket, I started to wonder if the bracket was acting like a amplifier for the mechanical noise.
So I started by pulling the crash bracket (wait, please don't...
