What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Colo_Ranger]

I found some of that mythical 'free time' today during the kiddo's nap. Sometimes I wonder what I did with all that free time before becoming a parent. I'm so tired. hahahah

Anyway, the picture above is how I mounted my HAM radio face. I ran the cable along the headliner and down the passenger's A pillar to the radio, under the seat. I have some plans to sound deaden the entire inside of the cab and I will rewire the radio, mount it to a custom bracket, and clean up all the wiring in the cab. For now, this will do. My review is useless anyways, so... now... its decorative.



I installed the Unleased tune with @TORQUERULES shift strategy yesterday. I've only done about 20 miles, but it definitely seems better so far. I will continue to update, as I drive more.

The kiddo helped.

But it did get rid of the momentary lag in the middle of a tight right turn from a stopped position.

I am not an all out power guy, especially in a truck, but any time I can make drivability better, I am in. I'd rather tune the truck for daily benefits and offroad predictability than straight power.

Looks like he is saying - Let's go kick some ass.

Rinced it from outside & underside with a garden hose.

No point in washing it since the roads are like watery mud/silt substance which sticks to everything. But atleast now I can get in without messing up the clothes.

When he does say it, he will be screaming it. This kid has a lot of energy. Its punishment for the kid I was.

If you don't get that Dodge emblem off your Ranger parts will start falling off.

Installed a GoFast VTA Blow Off Valve I got from another member. Haven't done any other engine mod's but the price was too good to pass up.
If you look verrrrrry closely you can just see the additional HP just oozing from the installed mod !!!
Strange thing tho, it seems to work. I have always experienced a bit of "lag" when making a sharp right turn....just a momentary power drop.... from a stopped position....like slowly turning from a stop sign or red light while applying gas. Once thru turn Truck always came right back.
Now, while making the same turn, no lag....power stright thru the turn....
Yea !!!
(Also makes a neat "woooooshing" sound)

Allegedly, has something to do with the components being set up to allow the diverter to open and close partially instead of being just 'open / shut' like stock.

I've noted some difference here myself. Wouldn't call it a HP gain but it doesn't seem to just jettison all the boost when you let off the throttle then whomp it again, which is essentially the situation we're talking about.

If you partially let off then jump back on the throttle, ideally it should only divert part of the boost that you let off, not all of it, allegedly, GoFast parts allows for that after upgrading by modifying the stock diverter slightly.

... allegedly.

But any uneducated vehicle owner will think that Soupie is manufactured by a Fiat based company. May even, instead of a "Soup Red" start calling it "Spaghetti Sauce Red" !!!

Now that's a classy looking one.

Not only is what it is cool, but that blackout lettering and tight placement make it look very custom (and badass!). =)

LOL, if I tried pulling off badass, it would turn out like this:
