  1. SOLVED: Driver Side Frame 1/2 Lower, Shim Added to Rear Leaf Spring

    Yes, that is correct. Apologies for the late reply, have been indisposed
  2. Raptor wheels on Ranger

    I put a 1/4" spacer and it no longer rubs. It used to rub on the frame just above the anti sway bar as the frame curved down. I also had to adjust the front crash bar on the driver's side. 15mm crescent wrench I believe... Loosen the top bolts, lever the crash bar forward in the frame with a...
  3. Factory rims. 3 inch lift. 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers

    Apologies -- I guess I should have read on.... you posted the information. I used it and have put them on my truck. I have Ranger Raptor wheels, 285/70/17 KO2s with an Icon leveling kit. No rubbing on the frame at full lock turns now. I did have to adjust the driver's side front crash bar...
  4. Factory rims. 3 inch lift. 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers

    Quick question -- where did you get the 1/4" spacers? (can you share a link?) I've been looking for mine....
  5. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Steve, I've seen other folks on the forum say they've done the whole 'PCV gutting' procedure (which seems to be common with the 2.3 in a variety of vehicles) with no check engine light. However, I talked to a friend of mine who owns a shop that does quite a few ecoboost 'enhancements' (can't...
  6. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Told you it was stupid question -- got this off another website: "Engines create oil vapor from the crankcase and cylinder head that is usually recycled back through the air intake system. This vapor can create a buildup of carbon deposits on the intake valve that can reduce engine...
  7. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Thanks Steve... stupid question, but what does the baffle plate do?
  8. Oil Catch Can. Yes or No?

    Guys -- I actually posted this question on another forum as well. I have used catch cans in the past very effectively (my son's Ram would generate about a 1/8 of a quart of chocolate milk every 1000 miles). However, I'm wondering what the following part does differently than a catch can...
  9. talked with my dealers service manager today about the direct injection

    Quick question.... I have put catch cans on many of my vehicles but have been hesitant to put one on this Ranger. First EcoBoost and have no idea of reliability so I don't want to void the warranty. I am still learning this engine.... I promise, I am NOT trying to start a religious argument...
  10. Raptor wheels on Ranger

    It was the Stage 1 system so no control arms. Only coil overs and rear shocks (for handling). I don't like spacer lifts because I believe mess up your drive train geometry and seem to mess up the ride. I am not an engineer and I have no definitive proof of this. But spacer lifts have never...
  11. Rebound control

    Enjoy! Again, apologies for the delay in responding before.
  12. Rebound control

    Sorry for the late reply. I don't think the wheels themselves made a difference. However, the tires -- the KO2s, have much larger sidewalls. So the 'sidewall give' may actually help. So pick what ever wheels you like (as long as they have the right amount of offset) and get new 'shoes'. She will...
  13. Raptor wheels on Ranger

    I have bought a set of these Ranger Raptor wheels for my truck and they do offset a bit. But a warning -- I have an Icon 2.5" leveling kit and put on 285/70/17's and they rub on the frame during hard left/right turns. I went with that tire size because the European Ranger site states the wheels...
  14. Ranger went kablooey

    This happened to me a few weeks ago. I was in a hurry and accelerating out of a rest stop while trying to turn on my cruise control when I hit a pretty decent bump, spinning my rear tires in the air. All of a sudden I got all sorts of errors, starting with traction control problems. Then a whole...
  15. A simple, non-performance focus tune?

    I know this is a pretty late post, but to get rid of auto-stop-start, I have installed this wiring harness. I didn't use a tune because I was worried about Ford's ability to tell if the ECU had been changed and most dealers in my area are sticklers for 'sticking' it to you if you do tune your...
  16. Rebound control

    Apologies for this late reply. But I too have an F150 and it rode, well... just like my Ranger did when it was new. On my F150, I put on a complete Fox leveling kit -- new struts and shocks, added Raptor wheels and put on K02's running 36-38 psi. Rides like a 'cowboy cadillac' now. You can tell...
  17. Console safe

    Thanks guys -- I carry in the small of my back so I will just take the pistol out of my holster and keep it in the door panel for now. I have an 'in barrel' holster inside my F150's center console and love it. I wanted to do the same in the Ranger, but cannot because the console is not double...
  18. SOLVED: Driver Side Frame 1/2 Lower, Shim Added to Rear Leaf Spring

    I know this is a pretty late post, but I finally got rid of my "Ranger lean".... It came from the factory with a 1/4" shim under the drivers side and it still leaned towards the driver's side by 3/4" of an inch on a completely flat surface. Didn't matter if I had a full tank or not. This drove...
  19. Redarc mount

    Not sure if this is helpful but I mounted my controller box on the metal ledge under the steering wheel and I put the controller knob by my shifter. Note the plastic panel around the shifter needs to be taken out (put your shifter in drive before unhooking the battery). Also, you will need to...
