They were closely related to the 1970/71 Torino, which was related to the Mustang, therefore using styling ques from both. From 1972 on, the Torino used a full frame chassis.
I forgot to mention in my previous comment, that I have not experienced any transmission issues and I think it has to do with the no skipping of gears with the tune I chose. It's a firm positive shift which I do prefer
I use the 91-93 octane. The performance is fantastic and the gas mileage has increased by 2+ mpg in the city and 4 on the highway provided I do not abuse it. When I do decide to take advantage of the increased power, the mpg only drops a couple of mpg. I installed the tune in 2021 and have been...
All three of my gauges work in my ST and I have no reason to believe that they are bogus values as they change along with the RPM levels and when the car is under heavy acceleration there is a change. If this can be figured out, I will ahead and start on my cover that will blend into the dash pad
The information is there. All modern vehicles use those to factor in engine and cooling settings. We are attempting to unlock where we find those values and how to relay those to the gauges.
I like your idea of using a Y port. I had not considered that. Sounds like a safe approach that just might make this all possible. I look forward to seeing if you are able to obtain the Ranger wiring so the two can be compared
Thank you taking an interest in my project. I had put it on hold till time allowed for me to dive into it more deeply.
Your help is much appreciated. I would have to believe that the wiring would be similar between the vehicles.
You will not need to notch the frame unless you need an extreme amount of travel. No shim will be required. The spacer studs for the drive shaft pillow bloke, were designed to work for 4,5 and six inches.
Yes, I painted it a lighter variation of the Magnetic gray. By doing that, it kept the contrast but in a more subtle way than the silver. The color is Toyota Phantom gray 1E3
Great to hear that you've got the truck lowered and that you like it. Like you, I like the way it rides and handles. Those wheels look great and will be awesome on there! Anxious to see the finished product.
I will eventually have my alignment checked out of curiosity more than anything. So...
I am definitely interested. Since I was one of the test pilots for the Belltech stuff, it would be nice for someone else to take the plunge on this one. I would really like to bring the front down another inch or 1.5. Something in that neighborhood
You could purchase the rear axle flip kit and modify the supplied shackles or fabricate your own from flat stock and achieve a 2 - 3 inches of lowering and possibly retain the use of the original shock absorbers. I would have to think that the OE shocks have enough travel to allow for that. The...
