  1. Recommendation Please: Coilover Installers in SoCal

    Any shop in your area that works on trucks should be able to do it. It’s really not a difficult job, I did my wife’s truck and it took about 20 mins per side. I used a block of wood to rest the knuckle on.
  2. Parked on and angle truck would not start

    I must be remembering wrong then. That definitely could be the issue.
  3. Parked on and angle truck would not start

    Isn’t the fuel pump located on the passenger side of the tank? With half a tank, I wouldn’t think low fuel level would be the culprit. Maybe if the truck was leaning the other way. I would definitely scan for codes and see if anything comes up.

  5. What show got you into cars & trucks? šŸ“ŗšŸ

    Not a show but growing up riding around in my dad’s truck. I used to love listening to him tell stories about his dad and uncle on the ranch in Texas. Sadly, they both passed before I was born and I never got to meet them. From what I understand, they were both upstanding gentlemen and absolute...
  6. Lacking Windshield Moldings

    Second that! I’m used to driving work trucks with racks and all sorts of tools banging around in the bins. I have no complaints about the Ranger lol
  7. 2.3Eco in a Disco

    Well seeing as how you Frankenstein’d it together, just call it Frank! Lol
  8. Lacking Windshield Moldings

    If it’s bothering you that badly, the best solution I can think of is to pull the interior door panels off to add some sound-deadening insulation behind them. Maybe the floor under the carpet too. That seems like a lot of work though and who knows much it’ll actually deaden the sound. When you...
  9. Lacking Windshield Moldings

    Not just Ford, most modern cars don’t have any trim around the windshield or back window. They’re glued directly to the frame. Aside from that, you could probably just buy a few feet of generic rubber window trim from an auto store and DIY a strip across the top. Couple things to consider...
  10. Suspension Hardware

    I reused hardware when I put the leveling kit on the wife’s truck. I think the only hardware you’re not supposed to reuse are u-bolts for axles. If you’re lifting the rear end and take them off to install blocks, you should replace them.
  11. Anyone ever drill/tap into your back cab wall?

    Get some L-brackets and anchor them to the floor. That’s what I would do. You could always use L brackets for the bottom and anchor it straight to the floor. Might need to pull back or trim some of the carpet.
  12. Is this a normal amount of aluminum dust?

    My old ā€˜07 f150 work truck was a tank. I beat the crap out of that thing for years on job sites. It was handed down from my stepdad, who also used it as a work truck prior to me driving it. When I started my new job, I sold it to my cousin who now uses it for his landscaping business. She’s...
  13. Anyone ever drill/tap into your back cab wall?

    No but if I was going to, this is where I’d drill.
  14. One more edit please !

    Glad I’m not the only one who thought he was being a little punk… Is that thread still up? I don’t see it anymore. I never got to see how it ended lol
  15. Is this a normal amount of aluminum dust?

    Agree… My transmission has been shifting harshly for 20k miles and hasn’t failed yet. I’ll admit, it’s a constant concern, but it hasn’t failed. If it’s any consolation, my brother’s Chevy Colorado left him stranded on a 14 hour road trip out of state and it hardly had 5k miles on it. My...
  16. Vehicle Mileage, Warranties, Problems, and Enjoyment

    I think with any vehicle, it’s a crap shoot these days. I have 79k miles on my ranger, other than the transmission starting to act up at around 60k miles, it’s been a solid truck. I’ve had a few minor issues here and there but nothing I couldn’t handle on my own. If I’m being honest, most of the...
  17. Blank door key

    I’ve always used the magnetic hide-a-key boxes on my work truck and a couple zip ties for added insurance. With the ranger, I don’t though. If I ever do lock the key in the truck, I have the Ford app. If that fails, the wife can bring my spare. If she’s out of town, looks like I’m replacing a...
  18. Blank door key

    My buddy had one of these too. It worked great until he got rear ended and couldn’t open it after lol
  19. How many miles on your 2.3L EcoBoost

    It’s almost $6 where we live. I think it was $5.89 last time I filled up. I don’t even look anymore, I don’t want to know! Lol With my commute to work every day, I’m spending $175 or more on gas every week. That’s just my truck, not counting the wife’s trips to town. Gas prices are ridiculous...
  20. I have sold my 2019 Ranger

    Don’t plan on selling either of ours… The dealership hasn’t called in a couple weeks now. I think they got the hint after last time when I told the poor guy off šŸ˜‚
