  1. Loud pop and vibration.

    No, it's only after being in gear for a period of time.
  2. Loud pop and vibration.

    No, I still have no clue as to what it is and it's happened several times since. I have determined that it only happens when accelerating slowly from a stop and only when turning right. It feels like it's directly under the drivers side floorboard.
  3. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    I'm a contractor with a website and many links. My address is already on the web for anyone to see.
  4. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    Actually, the intention was not to induce the flaming, I just had no doubt that it would happen. The purpose was to get people to look at actual evidence (which I provided). I used to believe in different things until evidence was provided to show that I was wrong. Growing wiser with age is...
  5. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    I think we all know at least one of those dicks.
  6. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    Truce, but my opinion is still that if oil is still fine after 10k miles, it's wasteful to change it at 5K. I guess it's much less wasteful than the guys on the fuelly app driving rangers that are only getting 14-16 mpg on their new rangers (worse than my large but oh so comfortable, fast and...
  7. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    Floyd, I premised my post by stating that I'm a current gearhead and a formal Ford tech, as to state I had a better than average understanding as what effects oil degradation, I'm sorry I didn't make that more clear. As far as buying new being environmentally irresponsible, exactly how long...
  8. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    Motorcraft full synthetic.
  9. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    I honestly haven't kept up with the state of motor oil recycling of late, but I know several years ago that most had given up on the practice, it just wasn't cost effective.
  10. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    My understand is 15K miles for oil changes are the norm in Europe, but I also understand that they only sale full synthetic there.
  11. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    If you're replying to me, I'm running Ford full synthetic.
  12. 10,000 Oil change interval.

    I decided to test what I already knew to be true, that modern engines with modern oils can go much longer between oil changes than engines of the past. Many on this site and on most other forums still claim the Ford recommended 10K oil change interval is foolish. Being a hardcore gearhead...
  13. I will keep my gas powered Ford Ranger until the wheels fall off.

    Coal is clean burning ??? WTF. I'm confident you are the type of person that also uses the term "plandemic".
  14. I will keep my gas powered Ford Ranger until the wheels fall off.

    From mining and drilling, just like coal, oil and natural gas. All these hydrocarbons must be replenished at every fill up, the precious metals stay with the vehicle and can be recycled when the vehicle is at the end of it's life.
  15. I will keep my gas powered Ford Ranger until the wheels fall off.

    I drive both a Ranger and a Fusion hybrid; does that make me half a$$ hole or half better than everybody else ???
  16. ARB air compressor and airbag install.

    It's loud, but not deafening because it's enclosed. It was a VERY tight fit and required a modified aftermarket mounting bracket to make it work. You may notice I lined the cavity with sound deadening material also.
  17. ARB air compressor and airbag install.

    I installed the ARB duel compressor last winter, but forgot to post. This thing will pump up the airbags in a second or two, it'll pump up a tire pretty damn fast too. I would hate to imagine how many hours I have in this install, but this setup in VERY handy in my business.
  18. Do Window Wind Deflectors Work on a Ranger?

    I own a super cab, it does not suffer the buffeting problem that most 4 door vehicles do when the front windows are cracked open a bit. I don't remember the truck suffering a wind noise when the windows are closed until I installed the AVS window guards; now there is a slight whistle at speeds...
  19. Anyone else getting a lot of paint chips on their ranger?

    It's true, the paint does look good, but looks are only skin deep (as they say) and in this case it's VERY thin skin. The real bothersome thing is that they just seem to appear out of nowhere; on my old truck, you knew what caused the damage, as you would hear the rock or experience the...
