  1. Are engine enhancing oil additives a gimmick?

    I bought my '19 ranger back in Nov of '19. I still don't have 10k miles on it yet, but will soon. Changed the oil three times. I use either Amsoil, or Royal Purple with their respective filters. I will never open up a can/bottle of any additive with the exception of diesel fuel stabilizer so it...
  2. Upgrade Path for Increasing Power

    You can do anything that comes to mind, but take a look at the muffler first. This was posted by a fellow ranger owner. After seeing this I had the muffler removed, (and mine had the same restriction), and just ran a straight pipe to the factory resonator. And yes, removing or replacing the...
  3. Too much sport mode?

    I'm coming up on '69',and I tried to use sport mode once,but the country roads around here are crowded with logging trucks,so not really much room to let it stretch it's legs. I'm only going to keep it until they offer a diesel in the ranger,and then I'll buy that. In truth,I don't really need a...
  4. Why did you choose a Ranger over another Truck

    We bought the 19 Lariat fx4 last year and love it. Actually my wife,(aka, I hate fords ) drives it more than I do. And she is NOT SHY about jumping into the turbo as soon as all 4 wheels hit the pavement. She loves the exhaust mod,and the power. I do to but I'm a bit conservative when driving...
  5. Finally have everything installed and ....Whoa!!

    I Have always said,(mostly wasn't listened to) that the easier the engine breaths the more power it produces. It really is a no-brainer. But now instead of headers etc,it's charge pipes and stuff,and it makes a YUGE difference in performance.
  6. Am I Screwed? (Tow rating question.)

    Dairy farm kid here.Started pulling double grain trailers ON THE FARM only,as soon as I was able to reach the pedals. Ended up pulling double bulk trailers throughout the 11 western states back in the 70's. Loved it,and it paid good.Been up and down the ike many times in all weather conditions too.
  7. Am I Screwed? (Tow rating question.)

    It really all depends on what your towing,and your experience level. I wouldn't hesitate to tow a 5k lb trailer,but not any more that that,for your stated reasons. Of course one would have to have a quality trailer brake controller. Ford dropped the ball on that one for this gen ranger,imho. I...
  8. Flipstep tailgate ladder

    My wife and I are both old and totally disabled,but can still drive,and need a truck. What neither of us can do is easily access the bed,the step will help,and I'm going to get one,I have to get one.
  9. Auto Stop / Start

    I personally don't care for it,and I just push a button to turn it off. Best of all,pushing the button is free.
  10. NOOB exhaust question

    As long as the stock muffler is removed,IF one can keep their foot out of it,we'll enjoy tons more power,and super mpg's as well. With a foot in it,the ranger hauls ass,no two ways about it. It is just plain FUN.:cool::devil:
  11. Early Stages of Ranger Shopping! Question on 4x4 vs FX4!

    Some have mentioned that the chevy z71 pkg is the same as the fx4 pkg...WRONG. GM now has only one skid plate with the z71 pkg and that's to protect the transfer case.The other skid plates are OPTIONAL. I've owned 2 z71's in the past and liked them. Now I'm on my 3rd fx4 pkg and love it. When...
  12. Ford Performance

    The od of the tail pipe is 2 15/16's". The replacement pipe where the muffler used to live was 3 inches. The exhaust was necked DOWN on the intake side of the stock muffler,and then necked back UP to approx 3 "s.
  13. FordPass not working

    I just deleted fordpass from my iphone. Everytime I tried to use it,a very long 'new agreement' pops up and when I finally got tired of trying to read the fine print,(and it's all fine print) I just said to hell with it and I agree. 20 minutes later the blue circle is still spinning. I turned...

    Funny how different our piece of the air war was,yet in most respects,it was the same.Seek out,and destroy. When I came back for my second tour,I came into Cam Ranh Bay I got my orders for my new unit up on the Z. They pointed out a herkybird on the ramp running up,and they were going to Phu...

    Whew !!! I've gone up against rpk's/rpd's/ak's/51's/14.5's/23's/and one 37mm. That was enough.Radar shit didn't bother me because my main function out in the AO was to fly tree top level,and slow,to draw fire so the Cobra's could do their thing. Radar never seen me,but the whole rest of the...

    DAMMMMN,that left a mark. What hit you,a 37mm? Or was that from the quad 51's?

    There was a Bronco,(OV-10) outfit based out of Quang Tri when I first got back in country.After they stood down,we had a FAC assigned to us and he flew the O-1 Bird dog.I was one of the bouncing in the doorway with a 60.I was a crewchief/gunner/oscar.In this pic,we were still up at QT.And you...

    Both types of air cavalry scout ships used in the latter part of the war,(67 on) were turbine powered. An Allison T63A5A @317shp,derated down to 254.2 hp to the main rotor transmission,very noisy,and I still hear it 24/7. My whole second tour I worked the Z from the coast to the...
