  1. I just kicked a huge dent into my ranger. Heartbroken...

    I am beyond frustrated with the alarm. I used Forscan to disable the red button on the remote. That helped somewhat, but the alarm still goes off on me ALL THE TIME. When I open the rear half door about 50% it sounds instantly. I think if the front door shows "locked" like when I lock the...
  2. how to get new keys made if you don't have a key code that supposedly comes with the keys when new.

    Yes that may be but, I already had one key taken and not given back. I had my locksmith buddy who specializes in automotive come cut and program a new one and delete the missing key. Our shop doesn't work on vehicles... I think Forscan can also be used to program keys.
  3. how to get new keys made if you don't have a key code that supposedly comes with the keys when new.

    Unaware of any such law. It must be a state law, and Maine is like the Wild West of the East. ? I've been a locksmith since 1999. We cut keys by code upon request without any requirements unless it is a restricted key. A key cut to code would still not start our trucks (or any modern...
  4. VP Racing Madditive "fuel injector cleaner"

    We used to use Toluene back in the day. I could get a 4 gallon case from the paint store. I remember reading certain additives were a NoNo, but this one *promises* to be friendly to cats and 02 sensors. Can't find what's in it but there's probably an MSDS in existence. Mostly I was...
  5. VP Racing Madditive "fuel injector cleaner"

    Anybody else trust the Mad Scientist from VP racing? This stuff if giggles (and seriously probably cancer too) in a CAN. Anybody know what's the maximum octane the stock tune will benefit from? My purely unscientific testing suggests not much of anything to me except my grin is becoming...
  6. Warning to push button start owners...

    If they made this as a single bag: rampaging on one side, Boop on the other... I would totally rock it!
  7. TurboSmart BOV Installation Video

    The valve should open when you close the throttle with a spooled up turbo. You have to actually lift off the throttle though ?.
  8. Blown turbo at 50k [Update]

    Ooh that sounds like fun! I'm sure launch controlling is in no way hard on the rear diff and contributed in no way to it being burnt up by the previous owner. ? Seriously though it sounds like fun ? Sidenote: what's up with OP's F$#k'n Ranger?
  9. Think I Threw a Rod....

    Seems fraudulent on behalf of the dealer, if that is truly the case. The OP paid (a lot of beer money) for a teardown that may never have occured. Did they even remove the oil pan? It doesn't look that way. I would be less than thrilled about this particular dealership installing my new...
  10. Fuel in oil

    I have wondered this as well. I definitely hear an electronic whirring sound from what sounds like the passenger fender or firewall area. Definitely when I open the door, and other random times as well. So there's the in-tank fuel pump (is this somehow making the priming sound WAY up in the...
  11. Start stop disable free & QUESTION

    Doesn't the Forscan removal make it totally inoperable? Like if I had to go to the big city (that has more than two stoplights), and wanted to save some gas, could I press the button to turn it on if I *did* wish to use the ASS? On a side note it is nice that there are so many different ways...
  12. The Most Important Question - Getting Dogs In

    I pick my chihuahua up and toss him in like a sack of rice. He lands paws down just like a cat lol
  13. Pre collision assist issue and Ford response

    My pre collision goes off late at night on twisty country roads seemingly at random for no reason whatsoever. If I am ever found dead behind the wheel from a suspected heart attack then Jezebel, my dear truck, is surely out to get me. The annoying thing is the red lights flashing inside wash...
  14. Removed the 1" restrictor in the OEM muffler

    Or halfway down the track out the window lol
  15. Wiper Spray Thingy

    Most wiper nozzles can be slightly angled for adjustment. Wet the rubber around the nozzle with some sudzy water, use a pin or needle to gently work the brass nozzle more upwards. The adjustment range isn't huge, but it should get you into the realm of a cleaner windshield. Years ago I had an...
  16. Hybrid Style Bumper by RRW

    Okay, what am I missing? These trucks don't look anything like a Prius.
  17. Odd sound from Dash/inside cab only

    I can not hear any sound in your video.
  18. Think I Threw a Rod....

    Just a heads up, that's over 2700lbs worth of pennies! (Assuming 2.5grams per penny)
