What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Rhino]

It's the best recurve crossbow on the market. Tough as a tank, fast, extremely accurate, good customer service. You get what you pay for.

did you have to pull it from a stone?

Replaced my MAP sensor. I’ve been getting an intermittent CEL P0068. I dropped the screw holding it to the intake manifold and ford can’t get any of them, so he told me to go buy one.

$5 monopoly dollars to whoever can tell me why the new bolt wouldn’t work first.

i hate parts guys.

luckily, i was able to find the original screw and get it back together.

?? Looks like it is for mounting sheetrock

Should pull out easily if it was painted with Merlin paint!

it’s for a part that weighs 1oz and is just to keep it in place. It snugs up fine and… I haven’t had issues with it backing out. It’s just a large thread pitch.

Not really. It wasn't that bad. It is messy though.

Washed it and the wife's Outback. I guess we're a Blue Oval household?

Today was (PM) Preventive Maintenance Day

I pulled the plugs and put a small amount of Anti-Seize on the threads @ 8,700 miles.
No water in the wells or corrosion noted. Plugs looked great.
I did take a quick peek at the valves with the Borescope, no issues noted.
Note: No issues with misfire Etc, just wanted to PM the plugs should I ever encounter water in the wells, plugs came out with ease, and installed them to specs 106 in lbs
I did not encounter issues others have had with #4 COP in getting it out or reseated, it just takes extra care to route and seat properly due to the HPFP fuel line in the way.

I also tackled the mouse prevention screen on the Air Inlet Cowl.
Used a 120 Grit sanding screen and some HVAC Tape. Hard to make it look pretty with such a small space for access. (but it works)
Note: I park in garage, but still wanted to take the extra step to prevent entry into the cab. No rodent evidence noted in the engine bay either.

As the cowl was put back together, I added some RTV in the seam between the (2) halves, not pictured. This is the water drip point down to the top of the engine, again this was just an extra step of PM to prevent any water making it down to the spark plug wells.
I added some flashing tape over the seam as well.

I tested out my new Coolant Tank/ Cap adapters that I added to my 35 Yr. old snap on tester.
I have tried a few other brand testers over the years, and they all fall flat as compared to the Snap-On. So, when the need comes for them, I have them.
I always hated that there was not just one set for all makes and years, and of course the Ranger is different and required a new set. (One Snap-On & One MAC) since Snap-On was out of stock for the Tank Adapter.

License plates... Explain.

I've been a German teacher, so they're German plates. The letters on the left represent the city the plate is from. B= Berlin. LB is Ludwigsburg where I spent a semester in Grad school. The numbers and letters on the right are important dates for us. In Germany you don't choose the city letters, but the rest is fair game if no one else has it.

Replaced the very gacked-up chrome door sill covers. The two-sided tape underneath is horrible to get off...but have a new favorite specialty tool. This 3M adhesive removal wheel is magic.

Sweet.

And they let you drive with those on?
