  1. Vibration at take off

    The MT82 issue on mustangs was far worse. My 2011 CS GT wouldn't ever go into 2nd gear of the temps were below 50F. I lost about $10,000 having to trade that in after only a few months of ownership. A little shimmy from dead stop I can live with much easier than not having 2nd gear for 6...
  2. Report your MPG

    Third party custom company did the work and then ford sold it as dealer new. (leveling kit and tire pick). I took it to my local good year where I have formed a friendship w nearly their entire staff (I have 3 sets of wheels and tires that I run on my mustang for track/summer or winter) and...
  3. Ranger wins shootout review against Gladiator, Tacoma and Colorado

    Ford is good at this. Look at the mustang....while not as comfy as a challenger or as track worthy as a Camaro 1le with trans and diff coolers.....mustang manages to consistently win the “over all best combination of compromises” vote. Ranger seems to be a similar proposition.
  4. "Ranger Raptor" by way of dealer's Baja Package

    I hate to be that guy buy 53k is a lot to pay for cloth seats and no B&O. On my mustang I came down on the opposite side. Got at a base w tech package to get nav and drive modes...then sank 10k into the suspension and brakes and a few appearance mods.....which is exactly the situation here w...

  8. Vibration at take off

    Phil. Something didn't feel right so before I went any further I went to may favorite tire and wheel shop which just happens to be the local good year. None of the 4 wheels were balanced and neither of the front wheels were aligned. They couldn't believe I even drove it that way much less 800...
  9. New guy. Need ranger owners opinions on the rough country 2.5 kits

    Sunday I spot checked it and found it to be reading 1mpg lower than actual. Truck said 16 and I calculated it at 17. I was driving pretty hard UP hill most of the day Sunday. I estimate the speed to be reading 1 to 3 mph below actual as well.
  10. New guy. Need ranger owners opinions on the rough country 2.5 kits

    I don't think they even adjusted the headlights properly. Gonna have to have that checked. If the lights are off I am going to use that to force them to put the tires on a balancer
  11. Report your MPG

    Let me attempt to help here. If you are driving on a flat highway in cruise control you will see minimal diff between 87 and 91/93. If you are pushing it hard and like peak performance numbers in hp and tq...you WILL SEE about a 13hp and 10 to 15tq increase while in the peak power band using a...
  12. New guy. Need ranger owners opinions on the rough country 2.5 kits

    The level and wheel pkg was dealer installed so I am right out the gate modded w no baseline. I did notice improvement . The first 250 miles I got 14.7mpg (but some of that included Atlanta stop n go traffic) The second 250 miles I got 16.7mpg (and that included quite a bit of driving up...

  15. ford explaining s mode video

    The sport mode manual shift is mandatory for an improved experience going up mountains to stay in power band and down the mountains to engine brake. For those who don't race you can get a boat load of performance out of a truck by simply making sure you do most of your breaking while still in a...

  17. The Tire Pressure Thread.. ... .... .....

    I actually run mine close to 30 when warm. Reason being that rubber naturally hardens the colder it gets and the lower your pressure the better traction you get. So If it is in the teens I might be at 28psi....and that's just fine w me.
  18. Vibration at take off

    Hello Phil. I believe I have this issue It definitely feels like it's coming from directly under the seat. It isn't just on take off it happens around 1700 to 2400rpms. It shakes the entire truck and feels like if it goes on long enough it might grenade the drive shaft and take the trans w...
  19. Lariat 501. Missing config settings for lane assist

    We had it on our explorer limited. It just moves to the right if you get to close to either line in a certain amount if time and moves to the left if you get to close to the lines less often in a specified amount if time. If you exceeds the threshold it will go full coffee cup and sound an...
