I must be in the minority on this topic. It took me years to get used to that "feature" in different trucks and it, frankly, irritated me. I thought it was a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" thing. I just wanted the window opened a small bit...ugh. Not all the way down.
But...
Nice truck and nice job on the Cougar! I owned both a 1967 289 Cougar with deluxe interior and a 1968 Cougar GT with factory R code engine 428CJ Ram Air 4 speed. I think the intake manifold on that engine weighed about 80 pounds lol. I took it off once and thought I had forgotten a bolt, but...
I'm enjoying this thread as well. It's a real plus to have Phil contributing to the forum. Thanks Phil.
My first Ranger was a 1991 regular cab Sport 6 cylinder 5 speed. My first new vehicle off the lot. I wish I had the sticker...I think it was $10,600. I paid for it from making a quick buck...
Have to agree with the brake comment. It has no feel IMO. I too have creeped forward at a stop too often. Maybe I'm just getting used to electronic brakes.
interesting. Thanks for sharing. I bought the ValvoMax version that looks very similar. I'll be putting it on next week.
I wasn't really sure if I'd be able to avoid removing the skid plate during future changes since this hose needs to be removed between changes. I haven't crawled under...
Thanks. I do now note that it's all light blue in 2WD. I also see the redundancy. I think the display could be a bit more clear but at least I understand it now.
Regarding the wheels, I assumed the front and back were both open differentials with no type of posi-traction unless the rear locker...
I was in 4 High today and engaged the locking rear. I remembered the off road info display and pulled it up.
Questions:
1) Shouldn't the picture in the middle show the front drivetrain engaged?
2) Do we know which wheels actually have power to them (left rear and right front)? Unless of...
Received a MotiveX oil funnel and did the fitting mod as described elsewhere in the forum. Took about 30 seconds with the sanding drum on a Dremel. Perfect fit now.
First oil change is quickly approaching...
Thank you. That's exactly what I want to do....with a couple notches for fishing poles. Just to hold a chair and tackle box back there instead of the backseat.
Has anyone cut a board for the slots near the rear of the bed? Something like a 2x8 to go across the bed? I had one years ago in a Dodge Dakota and it was really helpful. The Ranger slots look too wide and too shallow.
