Re: 2012 Ranger? Overseas only....

Re: How to: Throttle Cable mod

You'll be happy you did! I'm kinda waiting for some tech input on this.. especially the "shifts smoother" part we keep hearing. I can't help but wonder if the electronic tranny isn't a bit screwed...

Re: How to: Throttle Cable mod

Ya Derek.. I was kinda thinking the same thing, it would be hard to butcher the end of that cable without being absolutly sure the new clamp wouldn't go anywhere. Actually when I first started to...

Re: How to: Throttle Cable mod

I've been thinking a lot about how good this worked-- and at the same time how imprecise the wire tie method is. Seemed to me that (other than just replacing the cable) there should be a better,...

Holy #$^&!! I thought this was pretty dumb when I first read it. Did it this AM and it feels so much more responsive I can't believe it. I didn't notice a big differnce at WOT but the low speed,...

Re: Very Poor Fuel Mileage

I don't think I've ever heard anyone question the benefits of synthetic oil-- except maybe the cost. For the most part, blends are a waste of money and I don't think the average driver will get his...

Re: Very Poor Fuel Mileage

I just went through hell replacing my fuel pump, lines and filter. Those connectors (assuming yours are the same as my 01) are a bitch at first, but much easier once you get the hang of them. What...

Re: Why can't I find a bumper?

Re: PowerDome Mod
