What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Venom_z89]

Hopefully it does not! I just could not resist the urge. mine started having more goofy sloppy shifts and slips at around 22k

It’s weird probably something with programming. The transmission itself is supposed to be one of the strongest on the market. The 10r80 is in zl1s, mustangs, raptors, expeditions it was a codesigned trans between ford and Chevy.

Well enough teasing. Here’s the box o shocks all opened up lol. And some small tweaks and redesigns of the spindle face. I want to get it just right before I send templates to be cut

Passed 20K on the ODO in a little under 2 years. She has been rock solid. (Runs and knocks on wood)

Nice! I'm in the same boat on my 22 Ranger. Just recently hit 21k miles. ? Driving up and back down Mount Washington certainly broke the truck in a bit. Can't wait to add many more miles and adventures to it.

Added packout mounting plate to rear seat platform

Drawers open perfectly

Got new tires. Mastercraft Courser Trails. Tread is similar to Falken Wildpeaks.
I might be done buying name-brand pricier tires since I don't seem to get more than 35k out of anything anyway.

Nothing wrong with the Mastercrft brand.....their made by Cooper Tire, and their made here in the USA.
Ran several sets on our previous Subi Crosstrek, which was a daily driver for me, and we towed it behind our motorhome for over 50,000 miles.
Never had a problem with the Mastercraft's.

Installed my right toolbox. I had ordered both boxes from Ford Accessories. The right one had a broken hinge so I sent it back. Fedex dropped it off at Ford on 1/30/2024, signed for by LLOUIS. Still waiting on refund. I reordered the right toolbox this past Thursday and showed up my house Saturday. Big difference between when you pay Ford and when Ford needs to pay you.

Received my programmer and tune from Unleashed today and holy crap what a difference. I was always satisfied with how the truck drove before, but now it feels like an entirely new truck. Love it. Went with a 93oct performance tune with the TorqueRules trans strategy, and a 87oct tow safe tune for when I’m in areas without reliable fuel quality. Next step will be minor exhaust and intake work. Then on to better suspension options. The suspension and full set of skid plates will go in once the weather warms up here, it’s too cold for extended garage sessions ?

Travis I have the unleashed tune and it is so awesome. Shifts way better and sure does hall butt! I have the Borla exhaust and really like the sound but you really don't notice it much unless you have the windows down.

Sunny and 68* today so the Ranger got a bath and tire shine on the new tires. Took the sandbags and their rack out of the bed. New knee is doing well but not up to climbing into the bed yet so that was a comical adventure luckily not caught on video. Might be getting one of those tailgate ladders after all.

Aired tires to 36psi after I noticed they been around 31psi for the last 1k miles or so, lol.

Been too busy to do any truck stuff.

Did sound deadening on rear doors

gave abbs a oil change today. truck said only 10% oil life left. I was shocked. checked and topped fluids while at it. gave my driveway the mobil 1 water proofing by missing the pan while removing the old filter. i feel a red neck invention coming to the next oil change to solve this problem. empty milk jug and funnel should do it.

Got the face for new spindle design all cut out. Stopped real quick to start building the little cousin a brace so his bed doesn’t tweak so much.

The shop got all the suspension/wheels/tires buttoned up today Top pic is the day I first saw my truck at the dealership two March's ago, and of course today, when I drove home from the shop.

Nice !

Dang, peeps out there fabricating hardcore mods and all I can manage to do is fail at sticking some shackles on! =D

Fail on those hammerloks, I pounded and pounded but no love and my C-clamps weren't big enough, so either some smaller and better quality hammerloks, or a bigger C-clamp (US-made 10 inch for $65!).

even finding an American-made nozzle can be tough (the old one died after 40 years)

as @Doc says: "squirt it with a hose" =D

dumping some Techron in the tank and the lofty goal of placing the hammerloks on ...

actually used my Model T wrench to remove the anti-rattle clamp - kind of neat and maybe the first time that wrench has been used in the last 100 years

I've had these hitch spacers for a year and decided to move the Tow'N'Stow out because I stand on it when loading leaves, this way it's wider and flatter

old working with new, kind of like this forum! =D

better stepping place plus my absolutely most favorite new specialty oil Blue Creeper! thanks @Fordup! it's expensive but it's incredible as a penetrant - Soupie Approved!
