Finally was able to get a fully working aftermarket radio in. Factory backup camera works fine. I had the 4.3 Inc radio so it is a nice upgrade for me.

Here's what I did NOT do to my Ranger today: back it into a guardrail. I was at the dump dropping off stuff today. My tailgate was down so the backup sensor is going crazy because it thinks I'm going to hit the ground. Meanwhile, I'm backing up a little crooked, and I know it, so I'm going REAL slow. I feel something like a tire bumping into something. So I stop and get out. My right taillight is maybe one-half inch from the guardrail next to the container I'm supposed to put my stuff in. Whoah!

Every extra $100 spent adds about 20HP & 20LB/FT in your head, even if it's wheels/tires ?

The dual-port BOVs do sound great.
This may be a stupid question but I am in the market to replace the BOV on my ranger I am wondering if dual port or the single core is better what are the advantages of the dual port? Is the extra $40 for the do port Worth it?

Good thing you stopped just in time. IIRC those taillights are like $1,200.00 if you have the BLISS in them. :shock:

I think this is subjective. The dual port won't make your turbo better, but you will hear the WHOOOOSH. If that's what you want and it is worth $40 to you, then do it. Boomba racing makes a cheap vent-to-atmosphere thing that just sits below your OEM BOV, if that is your speed.

I kind of want the tubrosmart dual port, but I'm never going to tune my engine so I'm not even sure I really need an aftermarket BOV.
