  1. Fuel in oil

    A little harsh but............OK. What I got was $16,900 buy back from Ford for a 2012 Focus (purchased in July of 2011) with 129k on it. Got another $2500 to use if I bought another Ford....which I did. Ended up turning my $42+K Ranger purchase, into roughly a $22K out of pocket expense. Wasn't...
  2. Lane Keep assist

    Glad I read this thread, but somewhat embarrassed to say that, I really didn't understand that the LA wasn't just the steering wheel shaker notification, but the active "assistance" (evidently that had inadvertently been turned off). Played with it a bit the past couple days. Usefulness verdict TBD.
  3. First start engine

    I'm gonna jump on the "normal" bandwagon as well since mine has done exactly as you described since I got it in back in September. Sounds like the fan is in hyperdrive for a few minutes.
  4. RACE RED XL STX 4x4 2020 100,000 mile power train and bumper to bumper

    I think it's flippin' awesome that your son got so excited about off-roading and that you are now working to figure out how to best do that. If you are interested in changing out the rear shocks and front shocks/coil overs to those that come on the FX4 package, let me know. I put on the Ford Fox...
  5. How old are you?

    I know the sample size of these age surveys is limited in several ways but really surprised to see the percentage of Ranger owners in the "upper" age range. 65+% between 50 & 80. Had no idea. That said, I'm firmly a part of that 65+%.?
  6. What do you regret buying for your Ranger?

    I'm with you. No regrets yet with any of my mods/upgrades. That'll arrive sometime between 12/19-12/24 when the Dee Zee package arrives
  7. Tailgate Letters

    That looks great! I have the rapid red and metallic sport trim as well and thought black tailgate lettering wasn't quite right. Grey/graphite is!
  8. Cleaning brown off of tires

    I know. I read a bunch glowing reviews before buying and have used Aero 303 for decades. Used the cleaner on the original Hankooks (and spare) for their initial clean. Needed to go over twice and still some remaining brown. Went to simple green to get it right. Two coats of the 303 protectant...
  9. Cleaning brown off of tires

    Really like the 303 tire coating/protectant. Not nearly as impressed Really like the 303 tire coating/protectant. Not nearly as impressed with their rubber cleaner.
  10. [Updated] Ranger Ford Performance Power Pack Performance Tune Software (M-9603-REB) Released!

    I think you're right. Got my FP tune kit over the weekend. Went to their website, provided all the required information and downloaded to my PC. When I hooked up the ProCal to my PC and it came to life for the first time, the screen read Livernois. I was pretty surprised.
  11. How many miles before you tuned?

    I just got my FP tune via mail yesterday but contacted a local Ford dealer last week to ask what their cost would be to install. They (at least the guy I spoke to) hadn't a clue as to this tune.
  12. Report your MPG

    I have the ProCal 4 calibration tool coming in early next week. It supposedly has the capability for "speedometer correction for gear/tire change (within factory parameters). We shall see.
  13. Report your MPG

    I guess I hadn't thought that through entirely. That makes sense. Oh well, guess it might be a bit longer before I know for sure. Thanks Gizmo.
  14. Report your MPG

    Over the first 2000 miles with 6 refuels, the last 4 being 91 octane, first 2 being 87, I averaged 22.6 mpg, all on-board computer. Level kit on for two plus weeks, original tires. No appreciable difference in mpg. Replaced Hankook 265/65-17's with BFG KO2's 265/70-17's several days ago. Only...
  15. 2019 Ranger Lariat

    Exact same thing here and it made a significant improvement in ride, roll, bounce. Yes, I understand that when you spend $12-1500 to improve a ride, you WANT to believe it will significantly change/improve the ride but I swear, that if somebody, without my knowledge, had been able to take my...
  16. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Your welcome, but I guess I'll be buying another BFG TA KO2. I can't believe I did this, but I totally forgot about the spare and since I went a little bigger, need that one as well. Discount doesn't happen to have "buy 4 tires one weekend, get a 5th for free the next weekend" special going...
  17. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    When the new Fox "Tuned by Ford Performance" Off-Road Suspension Leveling Kit was installed ten-ish days ago, it was only a matter of time before new "shoes" would be "absolutely necessary honey". Over the weekend, that itch was scratched. Thank you Discount Tire. Went from the 265/65-17's...
  18. New Members Introduce Yourself!

    I'm Doug and although I've had my Ranger since early September and have been binge reading on ranger5g.com, I'm finally getting around to saying hello. Mods to date. Suntek PPF, full frontal, mirrors, etc. Red vinyl front end and dash lettering. NFAB EPYX step bars, Backflip MX4 tonneau, Bedrug...
