What did you do to your Ranger today?

[redone17]

The Scan Gauge 3 will monitor the factory sensors if available....
The Ranger does and the Gauge keeps track of trans and coolant temps.

Scouring the interwebs it seems like they’re sold out everywhere or overpriced at $300+. Found AutoZone has them and using code PREP4WINTER for 20% off and free shipping. $234 including tax.

Got the m210 mocked up in the ranger. For the most part a drop in FAAA—-GET About what that one retired ford engineer saying it won’t fit. The only difference that will need to be modified is the passenger tube mount will need to be moved, but is easy and most need to cut and relocate anyway when doing a diff drop. So yea not that bad.

Cool stuff man! This will give you electronic lockers front and rear when done, right?

Yup with 4.70 gearing. For someone who wanted to do it mild build can literally buy a diff drop kit. Oem bronco diffs front and rear, plus front axles and arms you’d have an inexpensive 2 inch wider both front and rear with lockers.

Finally had the LT285/70R17 Maxxis RAZR AT/811 tires mounted and installed after 47K on the factory Bridgestone's. These tires are quiet for the tread design and run smooth with no vibrations. Only very slightly louder than the O.E. tires.

Looks nice do you have a level kit on it?
I went with the Ebach adjustable shocks and springs set at 2 and a half almost level and easily fit the 255/70/17 tires I put on.

Thanks. I have the Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2R (rear reservoir) with SPC upper control arms and rear Global multi-leaf springs.

she looks great! How does it drive with those? any power difference or gear hunting issues? are you running a spacer on the wheels?

 

[Venom_z89]

So I swapped the input flange from ranger m220 onto bronco m220 direct swap. Will be seeing if I can do the same for the m190 and m210 which would eliminate the need for purchase of separate front driveshaft.

There is a slight drop in acceleration (power is the same), but more noticeable is the braking power. It definitely requires more pedal pressure for anything more than an easy stop. The transmission does switch back and forth more between 9th and 10th gears on the freeway if there are any small rises. I have a Livernois Tuner on my desk and I've purposely waited until the tires were installed before I install the tune. I want to see how it changes the driving characteristics. I plan to do a before and after type of review when done.

Whoops…forgot y’all want pics ?

Got any pics of this. Sounds cool

Today I took Abbs for our favorite past time. One spot was deeper than we expected. short clip from the cam mounted on my winch.
.* Rated R for foul language and alternator risking situations*.

Thanks!

Here's pic of the new ride.

A chebbie? Got rid of a Ford Ranger that isn't even broken in. Going to get rid of a Ford F250 with very low miles... bought a chebbie?

The world actually stopped turning for a bit when I decided to leave the Ford family and bought this GMC. I probably would have looked at a new F150, but the the local dealer here SUCKS so i have to travel to one of the other two close towns when I need anything. The last time I owned a GM product was in the early 1980's.

The F250 is supposed to be going to a new home at the end of January. Once it leaves then I will finally have room in the garage for the remaining 3 vehicles.
