    Wheel spacers

    Anybody running wheel spacers? I want to run 2" spacers. I have heard it put too much strain on the wheel bearings. Seems like deep mag wheels do the same thing. What do you all think?

    Hard shift from 1st to 2nd od light flashing

    I'm curious too. I got on an on ramp a couple of weeks ago and the same thing happened. No overdrive. The OD light flashing. I pulled over and tried to get it to change. Nothing worked until I shut it off to get gas. When I started it back up all was fine. Hasn't happened since.

    Rusting on both doors, bottom where welded 2010 Ranger

    Yea. My point was to make sure they weren't clogged and keeping water from draining.

    This is getting old.

    Anybody try a mass air flow sensor? My 97 4 cyl started hard,barely idled and ran like crap. I tried my buddies MAF and just like that it was cured. I was amazed. I had cleaned it several times to no avail. I figured it had to be something else.

    Torsion bar lift

    I used the keys on my 05. It puts lese strain on the torsion bar and the truck right smoother. You can crank up the bolts but you are winding the torsion bar tighter (harsher ride) Keys are cheap and not expensive to have installed. My 05 sits level, rides well and does not wear tires or...

    Rusting on both doors, bottom where welded 2010 Ranger

    I've mentioned this before. I have a 2005 Ranger. One day after a hard rain I saw water dripping from the drivers side door. I shook the door and could hear water sloshing around. Upon inspection I noticed a flap or valve made of rubber on the bottom of the door. I messed with it and water...

    Looking for Ideas for Upgrades

    Bull bar would be a perfect addition. Add some bolt on type wheel well covers. Should do the trick looks like you covered everything else. Looks really good.

    Water Leaking into Drivers Side Solved

    Not for nuthin. Check under your driver side door. There is a drain to let the water out of the door when it rains. It's like a plastic valve or something. I could hear water in my door after one of our hurricanes. I reached under the door and felt the plug or whatever it is water started...

    New version Ford Ranger

    Yea. It's starting to look generic. Rangers used to be easy to spot coming down the road. Now you'll have to read the badge to see what it is.

    3.0 Misfire

    I had trouble with the idle on my 4 cyl Ranger. I cleaned the MAF a couple times . I even bought the official MAF cleaner. I finally had the chance to put my buddies MAF on my to trouble shoot. What do you know fixed it right away. I think it was $60.00 or so to buy one. The fact that you...

    Hater/Fan blower switch

    Yep. You need to replace both pieces. The resister fails and burns up the plug. I tried to send a pic of the wiring but the pic was too big.

    4 inch lift

    I made my 05 level and put 31" tires on it with room to spare. 33's should fit with no problem.

    Any Tips To Clean Car

    Simple Green all the way. Do not use dish detergent on the painted surface of the truck. It takes all the wax off. Always try to use car wash. Even a cheaper brand beats dish soap. I like Armor All on a damp cloth for the interior. I like the spray foam tire cleaner it doesn't seem to...

    CONE AIR FILTER (DRY)

    Yea. They all seem to have the 4 bolt cover that come off the air box. Mine's molded on. I have not seen any others like it. The lid comes off to replace the filter and you can remove the snorkel from the air box by loosening the clamp. There is just no way to remove the fitting that...

    Inspecting a paint job

    I'm not sure where you live but $8,500.00 for a paint job on a truck already in good shape seems really high. The real story will show up in a year or so. If the prep was done correctly the paint will still look good. If they faked it you'll know soon enough. I think the truck looks pretty...

    How Many Miles Do You Have?

    It is somewhat louder. It does not have that whistle sound the cone filters have. Just a heavier sound when you get on the pedal. As far as horsepower goes. Well it sounds faster and the gas mileage is the same. It sounds like you're going faster. Sometimes that's what it's all about FUN.
