Stock FX level offroad suspension shocks and springs. Came off my 2020 Ford Ranger FX2. Less than 1,000 miles on the shocks. $150 obo. local pick up only, no shipping.

The Ford dealer I had bought mine from had ZERO inventory. They had Chevy Corvettes on the showroom floor to take up space. I ended up selling my '20 STX FX2 with 20k miles back to the dealer for $28.5k and they didn't want the camper shell. Sold that the next day for $1k. They had it listed...

Not sure. Check the mishimoto site. I never installed it and mine wasn’t equipped with a cover so it wasn’t a concern.

Never got around to installing this on my Ranger before selling it. $180 shipped. UPDATE - price lowered to $150 shipped. SOLD

…ok it didn’t make me, but it made it too enticing. I loved my ‘20 FX2 but with car prices the way they are and low inventory (my dealer had Chevy Corvettes on the showroom floor) I couldn’t resist. I got my truck on D-plan pricing and a 1.5yr later and 20k miles I only lost $1k. I’ll own one...

I have the 589, and it does have access to the engine drain plug. No “panel” to remove, it’s an access hole.

I really like Sandy's insights and observations. Having been a mechanic for over 20 years, it it gives insight as to the mind of an engineer who is looking at things from a production standpoint. There's plenty of things he's said that I'm not on board with because it seems to ignore service...

Specifically I was referring to the aluminum torque to yield bolts. Single use, soft, and easy to break. Mostly used in applications that use special aluminum alloys that can react to steel bolts over time.

Here’s a fun podcast that dealt with the Metric system. As to why the US took so long to to adopt, we’ll just blame the French ?

First vehicles I worked on that had torx was some late ‘80s GM products. Now they’re everywhere including construction hardware. Watch out for the external torx on BMW and Mercedes that are aluminum bolts. Those are fun. What amazes me most is how long it took domestic manufacturing to...

H frame hydraulic press is whay I ended up using, with a bearing splittler on the bottom of the coil spring spacer. I've used strut spring compressors on other cars, but the close spacing of the fox coils made it difficult to fit a typical spring compressor that I had.

Once I compressed the spring and loosened the pinch bolt on the collar, it spun very easily.

I installed the Ford version of the Fox 2.0 on my 2wd, as they came out of the box. It had to have been over 3” when installed. I had so little down travel that they would top out harshly. I later removed them, compressed the springs in a press, and ended up lowering the collars. See my post at...

I was speaking of California specifically. I have a current smog inspectors license and am current on those requirements. I double checked, and its still 8 model years old exemption for current owners, 4 years exemption for transfer of ownership. Don't throw away your old intake, should you...

Currently there’s an 8 model year smog exemption from new. If your paying the “smog abatement fee” on your registration you won’t be needing a smog until at least 2028. The only exception to that is initial registration from out of state.

No venting but I really don’t see it being needed. It keeps good airflow from the radiator area, over the oil and transmission pan. Less turbulent air flow is a good thing in my opinion. At the front it simply protects the factory air diffuser that covers the radiator. A bonus is that the...

All subjective, personal experience. Take it with a grain of salt. Let me say this, “never had one alleged engine failure due to the filter”...that you know of. Just clarifying. Having been a mechanic for over 20 years I’ve seen a lot. There’s plenty of failures that happen that don’t get...
