  1. For those that like to test the fuel gauge accuracy...

    Probably. I've never run any of my FI vehicles this low before so....I'm truly the idiot that learned a lesson the hard way. I usually fill back up at the second light (25miles) but I thought I'd be a smartass and push the test button. Definitely won't do that shit again!
  2. For those that like to test the fuel gauge accuracy...

    Ok. Well.... on behalf of my dealership and I, I'd like to preemptively apologize to anyone purchasing a new Ford for negatively impacting the cost of your new vehicle. I'd also like to extend my heartfelt apologies to all Ford employees for personally eating into your raises, bonuses, and...
  3. For those that like to test the fuel gauge accuracy...

    As the title suggests, if you like to see just how accurate your fuel gauge is or see how much further you can go after the low fuel light comes on, I'd recommend you don't. I returned home from work one evening and the fuel light had illuminated more than 50 miles prior to returning home. I...
  4. Which is the best catch can

    Much like over landing equipment. It's only design is to make you part with your money.
  5. 450 RWHP 500 RWTQ

    Never heard of Mounttune but Esslinger already has that and they've been the ONLY name in 2.3 performance for decades. If my engine ever goes, I'm calling them. https://esslingeracing.com/assembled-shortblocks-7/2-3l-ecoboost-shortblocks
  6. MAP on strike and two others;

    That's a cannibalistic family that sacrifices it's young and talented in place of those older and less motivated. Not anti-union...just relaying shit I've seen with my own two eyes.
  7. MAP on strike and two others;

    No but the indoctrinated tend to be quite zealous and frequently attempt to throw their weight around in someone else's sandbox. I have witnessed union reps file worthless grievances and attempt to get contractors fired on several occasions simply for doing their jobs without a union card. Do...
  8. Windshield Tinting

    I have had clear ceramic on the windshield of my last two cars. The one before my ranger was a black 2015 GT. The 3M film used rejects 99% of UV light as well as IR and heat rejection. There were and are times that I didn't put the sunshade in the windshield on typical Texas summer day and I...
  9. Anyone tried turbo flutter for fun?

    . Ok..first off, the 2.3 turbo in the ranger does not have a blow off valve, it has a bypass valve. BOVs vent to atmosphere, BPVs vent to the atmosphere side of the turbo inlet. Second...when you remove the bypass/blow off valve, you WILL hurt the performance of the engine by increasing...
  10. Anyone thinking of selling their Ranger?

    Zero chance of selling my Ranger with the current financial situation in this country. I currently financed at ~2% on my Ranger. Last I checked, advertised interest rates for new vehicles with the same CU I'm financed through is ~5%. Used vehicles is ~6%. It makes no financial sense to pay up...
  11. Crashbar Removal Cost

    Amen. That said, it was not I that proclaimed "who cares". So if you're inferring that we share hypocrisy equally on this topic, I disagree and not respectfully either. I'm enjoying the living shit out of this because I care...deeply! Ok, your turn.....
  12. Crashbar Removal Cost

    And yet...here you we are.
  13. Crashbar Removal Cost

    FLAME WAR!!! *Tosses grenade* Sooo much butthurt....feels like a mentstrual cycle just blew through here at 180mph. By the way, that's 289.7kph/Canadian. The sense of entitlement in this post is astounding. A business owner sets his own price schedule and it's none of your F-ing buisiness...
  14. Wth is a roush ranger?

    I can see how people could make that connection. However, the Hennessey is a full on upgrade where it matters. If I had an extra $20k burning a hole in my pocket, I'd definitely have one over a Roush. 360hp and 440lbft of torque is damned impressive.
  15. I have a rant about my local dealership and techs.

    Actually, you may want to check your state laws regarding how many lights (ones that actually throw light down the road) a vehicle can have illuminated at once. The reason Ford does this is because some states have laws stating no more than 4 lights illuminated at once. When you flip the high...
  16. Roush Ranger Parts Ordering

    You can get the seat covers (or similar) from Katzkin and Roush sells the wheels, tune w/CAI, fender flares, exhaust, and suspension. The Fox suspension is nothing special except that is says Roush on it. Shop around and you'll find a discount. Same thing for the fender flares unless you're...
  17. Why Are Some Tacoma Owners Like This?

    Because of my profession, I'm a hands on, prove it to me with facts and data kind of person. When shopping for a truck, I test drove a Tacoma, Colorado, Ranger, and Frontier. From a personal perspective, the Nissan felt cramped, cheap, and "plasticy". The Tacoma, because of it's flat floor...
  18. So many mixed opinions on Vent to Atmosphere BOV

    To the OP...BOVs or BPVs (bypass valves) functionally serve only one purpose:. To relieve pressurized air from the intake tract between the turbo outlet and the engine intake when the path into the engine (throttle body plate, etc..) is closed. Keeps all that pressurized air from slamming...
  19. Does anyone care what Scotty Kilmer thinks?

    Most of what falls from his mouth is pure conjecture. He never provides facts to prop up his statements. But that's the beauty in what he's doing....he doesn't need to provide facts and people will flock to him. It's all about his opinion and 4 million+ people are validating this hammerhead...
