  1. Interesting Boost Info

    My last truck got about 10 mpg average if I was being gentle. Let a truck be a truck. Let it tow, let it haul and let it haul ass. If you want mileage, there is no shortage of hybrid and electric out there.
  2. Ford Ranger Raptor with V6 spotted

    Between this and the newly announced black package, I'm really starting to think I should wait a while longer and see what else is coming out.

  4. Interesting Boost Info

    More boost+more gas going into engine=more fun. More fun>more mpg.
  5. Where ya from?

    Nice, I lived in Central Illinois for a time. I learned to drive a manual on an Oliver tractor on the farm during summer vacation.
  6. Tuned Ford Ranger goes 0-60 in 5.49s! [NGauge Tune]

    Most engines are designed to withstand extremely high tolerances. A tune and some bolt ons won't hurt much of anything. It's all a matter of your comfort level with being on your own if something breaks, but I've had a lot of positive experiences modding my vehicles. Now with that, I know that...
  7. Tuned Ford Ranger goes 0-60 in 5.49s! [NGauge Tune]

    I've modded, tuned and driven just about every vehicle I have owned hard and I've never had an issue. My first car was a 1989 Ford Probe GT. I got it with 120k miles on her and swapped out the pcm, added a custom ram air intake, a custom ignition computer, a high performance ignition coil, a...
  8. The Alpha Ranger — pic heavy.

    I bought my wife the 7D mark I many years back as a Christmas present. She loves it. Great camera. The truck looks great. Any plans to do anything else to it? Lights, bumper, etc.
  9. 300 HP with Higher Octane Fuel?

    Yeah, Torrie has some insane tunes for the F150.
  10. LS1 Swap

    It is my understanding that the LS1 is a relatively small package so that's one of the reasons that you see so many LS1 swaps. The 5.0 Coyote is a really large engine, though. I could see where an LS1 could fit (I've seen them in Miatas before) but the Coyote could very well be too large for the...
  11. Anyone else notice their Ranger chugs gas when idling?

    Is it actual fuel being consumed or is it just the calculation being lowered in the screen? If you manually calculate the mpg, is it lower? The computer will go down pretty fast since anytime you aren't moving, you are adding 0 to the calculations which will dramatically lower your average as...
  12. Is the PRNDS on the console s'posed to light up?

    I guess I'm used to shifting my gears manually. Why would you need it to light up? Doesn't the guage cluster show you what gear you are in?
  13. Looks like Mountune is joining the Ranger game!

    They have a lot of tunes and kits for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus and you can even buy them from the Ford dealerships with full warranty. They cost a little more going that route, but if you are afraid of losing your factory warranty then that is the best way to go. They have a few kits for...
  14. Where ya from?

    I live in St Augustine, FL. I've lived many places, but this is by far my favorite.
  15. Engine Made in Mexico?

    The engine was built in Mexico, but the sticker was built with pride in Cleveland.
  16. 300 HP with Higher Octane Fuel?

    The video isn't working and I can't seem to find it on their Facebook page. I wonder if they took it down.
  17. What are your plans with the Ranger?

    More like pickup truck hell. At least at our Home Depot. Every trip guarantees a fresh dent in your vehicle.
  18. 300 HP with Higher Octane Fuel?

    I've had modified vehicles all my life from Dodge, Ford, Honda and Toyota and I have yet to have issue taking anything I've owned to the service department. When I worked for Dodge, the service department had a customer bring in a SRT-10 Ram 1500 that had twin turbos and the service people had...
  19. Your Thoughts after First Test Drive

    I felt the same way about the brakes. I was wondering if I was the only one. When I drove an XLT FX4 the brakes felt so soft and it took so much travel to get them to engage. It has almost put me off the truck but I really want to like it. I may be spoiled coming from my Fiesta ST, but I don't...
