well after 70 miles with the new downpipe my CEL came on looks like I will need the 02 sensor adapter

Bummer!

Good idea to keep quarters in there in case some extra money is needed if you get into a jam!

So I can fit 25 quarters in there (plus some American and Canadian silver dollars - probably enough for a dozen eggs at current prices in either country - because you never know where you'll be in your Ranger when you have to buy eggs ...).

David,
Those coins reminded me of an incident that I had with my last truck. Always kept a roll of quarters in the glove box just in case. Took it to a car wash and someone lifted it. Don't take the Ranger to a car wash...wash it by hand so that cures the theft problem. Always carry some boiled eggs in the truck in case someone needs a boost... ?

No dump run. Just pucking up scrap wood to make some hanging shelves in the garage

Did you upgrade the turbo? On the 2.3 general consensus is that on stock turbo the stock DP is no worse for performance. If it's tossing codes tune may be so far out of target that it may ruin the cat in there.

Stock turbo for now but just received my tune revision from Unleashed and truck is running much better now.

Wife decided I needed to get out of the house and told me to go to our daughters and fix the attic access door. Nice partly sunny day for a drive so I agreed. 40 minute round trip melted the rest of the snow off the Ranger and I got to soak up a little vitamin D. The drive took longer than the fix but it got me out of her hair for a while.

That's what I would have got if I stayed home browsing the forum and internet shopping.

Arrived from work, did perfect job with parking, opened the door just in case to check by smell if there is no DPF regeneration ongoing, and of course there was. So I took additional drive, saw 3 rabbits on the road and returned to home to park it one more time.
Feels quite stupid just to drive around without any reason. ?

Not at all, don't need excuses to just drive around.?

Yes. Someone has to count rabbits, right?

Kristina I just looked up this DPF Regen issue out of curiosity - so your commute is not long enough to get the engine hot enough to catalyze diesel emissions and you've got to drive around and look at rabbits? Ouch!

Did the dealer factor short commutes into your previous diesel emission issue?
