Re: Heating

So I've done all that was suggested to no avail. However, there seems to be a small vacuum hose that when I pull it off, in theory, should feel some suction when I cover it. I don't feel any at all.

Re: Hows your GAS MILEAGE on ur truck? Let me know here.

I've heard about putting sea foam in the oil but haven't ever done it. What benefit does it provide? Do I just add it to the crankcase? How much?

Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread IV

Dude, that's some bad luck right there! In the summer I drive my motorcycle everywhere and the longest my 98 Ranger sat was a little over a month. It fired right up when I got back in it.

Re: Weight limit?

Wow that's quite a bit! I've hauled just the atv which is around 600lbs and it squatted too, but it did just fine. Towing a trailer too kinda worries me

So what do you think would be too much? The towing limit is 2000 but what is the payload? I'm not sure how all of that works
