Why are 4.0s such gas hogs?

Why are the 4.0s so hard on gas? Even compared to engine designs that are contemporaries with the 4.0, they seem to be uneconomical for their displacement. I know of several v8 half tons from the...

Well. I got it figured out. The shop in FL aligned the truck with the steering wheel crooked. I got it taken care of yesterday.

Needless to say I'm not happy about the quality of service there,...

Re: Your Gun Pics, Post Em Up!

I've shot a Bersa and I like them. I'm a big fan of that size of gun. They're small enough to be stupid easy to carry, but big enough that they're easy to shoot well. Hence why I carry a G42.

Re: 1983 Camaro Project

Dropping the tank in one of these cars is one of the worst jobs I've ever done. I've done it three times and it doesn't get any better. I would only do it as a last resort. The filler neck is...

I have an 86 Camaro I'm going to fix up one day, but I've never pulled it with my ranger.

I have a G42 that I carry in an uncle mikes pocket holster that looks similar to that. I've had good luck with it.

Just an update, I didn't make it to the alignment shop before they closed early yesterday, but I will stop by tomorrow. I did rotate the tires, but there was no change.

According to KBB, trade in on my 2010 with 76K miles is still in the 10-13K range. I think you'd have a hard time finding a well optioned late ranger for under 10K. It's also important to remember...

Dope. I forgot to say I did that before she left. They were a little low before I aired them up, but the pressures were even in all four tires.

Pulls to the left, alignment good.

To start out, my wife took my 2010 ranger 4x4 to take her mother from TN to FL to visit her grandparents. It was pulling slightly to the left before she left, but I didn't have a chance to get it...

That was for the pair. One was around $80 and the other was around $50.

I'm probably going to go with the Motorcraft.

I put the top tier O'reilly's brand pad on mine when I first got it. They're called the Brake Best Select Ceramic. They're OK, but I probably wouldn't go back to them. They don't dust too bad and...

No noise, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Most of those 73,000 miles are on the highway. I figure the engine has relatively low hours compared to the mileage.

I saw that Rock Auto had the...

SOHC Tensioners Cloyes v. Motorcraft.

My 2010 4.0 is getting close to 73,000 miles, so I'm starting to think about replacing the timing chain tensioners. It doesn't have any problems now, but I'm a big supporter of preventative...

Re: 2003 4x4 turns over wont start

If it is holding RPMs longer than it should, the idle air control valve might be sticking. If the truck spent a long time sitting, it may have gotten gunked up.

You never said if manipulating the...
