Re: Jeff's 1995 Gold Ranger Build Thread (jabbo88)
Almost forgot one of my favorite mods done, which is the leather steering wheel cover my girlfriend sewed on. Sooo comfortable and awesome. Would recommend one to all Ranger owners...

Wow! Nice truck man. I've thought about getting a knob for my steering wheel too.

Thanks! I'm trying. The steering wheel knob is so great. Best $20 bucks you can spend. Makes turning smooth like butter.

Added my lucky number to the truck in the form of a tow hitch receiver plug

Re: Jeff's 1995 Gold Ranger Build Thread (jabbo88)
A few months ago my battery died on me and wouldn't keep a charge, so of course the first boneheaded thing I did was run out and buy the most expensive battery available at the nearest auto parts store: an Optima Yellowtop.
Turns out it was a bad alternator instead and I got a rebuilt one. At the time I didn't know about the "Big 3" or I would have just upgraded the alternator to something more powerful. Live and learn--

Re: Jeff's 1995 Gold Ranger Build Thread (jabbo88)
So, I'm a little skeptical about fuel additives-- or any additive for that matter-- for cars, but since I've heard seemingly nothing but good things about this stuff, I tried it. I poured a little over 1/3 into my nearly full gas tank and 1/3 into the oil. My truck runs beautifully as it is, but we'll see if there is any improvement that is noticeable. It was on sale for $7 so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I used some of that a few months ago in my gas tank and vacuum line. Good stuff

Yeah, the guy at the auto parts store said to use it once a month. I'll give it a try for a while. Can't hurt right? I'll try to the vacuum line next time.

Yep, just do a search for Mustang billet knobs and they're pretty easy to come by.
