Smile Re: Remove Control Bezel

-My thanks to you all. Somehow I missed seeing the screws when I was looking around. Too much dependency on manuals, I guess.
-I'll work on it this weekend & hope that "Crazy Glue" works.

Re: Towing disc brake kits

Yes, most trailers above a given weight do have their own brakes and the current electric brake controllers are much better than those available years ago.
BUT, and this is a BIG but, I feel safer...

Re: Towing disc brake kits

Do either of you do any towing? If so, how much do your trailers weigh?
I'm curious because I'm considering putting a 5.0 into my beast to do some towing, perhaps as much as 3500lbs. I'm positive...

Re: Brake upgrades?

Re: What auto Transmision in 2001 ranger?

Zipties on the throttle cable... Who dreamed that up, Henry or Edsel??

Re: What auto Transmision in 2001 ranger?

I understand the airbox, although I'm not convinced of the efficacy, but what is the "throttle cable" reference?

Re: Gas save
