Ok highspeed you are always right, you know ****ing everything. Now go be I ****ing ass tard somewhere else. And for assumptions, assuming that I am from the show me state just because I am stationed here would make you just that much larger of a jackass. So now mr. I have 35 years of changing my own oil, go start your own thread and share your knowledge with people who might care and or think you know everything.

Ultra sensitive and defensive? Exaggerate much? What's being objected to is the book-learned experts that just have to clog up threads by throwing their expert advice into the mix about things that they've never actually done for themselves, and then blaming others for the strife that they themselves are causing in the threads. Does the shoe fit?

Whether the mods work out or not, doing mods to our Rangers is also about having fun, and what with worrying about fan blade pitch angles and cost/benefit ratios you sound like you're way to anal to have any fun tinkering with your truck, so why even bother participating in a forum like this? Just leave your Ranger stock and enjoy it for what it is and let those of us that like to mod our trucks, whether the mods work out or not, have our fun. Is that too much to ask?

Filled up this morning 27 mpg. Man I love being badass.

Me, I'm just bummed that whole teams of "book-learnin" Mechanical Engineers at FoMoCo "missed" this "obvious" boost to their CAFE numbers, which they are always under pressure from mgt. to increase... esp. since they have so much experience using e-fans on this same (Vulcan) block in other Ford apps... theyz B dumb fer shure...

A-w-w-w-w, you got your feelings hurt in another thread after being reprimanded for posting your political nonsense, so you felt the need to come over here and retaliate and mess up this thread. Poor baby. Do us all a favor and suck it up and act like an adult, OK?

Nice numbers, Chris. I've never gotten more than 24 mpg with my Ranger.

Lulz... your ego is tiny... NOT. My "feewings" are not affected, one way or another, by ASCII char strings from complete strangers on duh interwebs. Your post here is as absurd and INCONGRUOUS as your response to my 4-YEAR OLD(!) post in evanesce69's E85 conversion thread. I note also that you completely ignored the rollicking good-natured rapport I was having with evan, the O.P.--who, BTW, is totally sympatico with me politically--or did that banter just sail clean over your head?

But since you have appointed yourself as my personal troll, the 'Search' function will show you that I have a 4-year history on this site of questioning those DIYers who think they have out-engineered real engineers, e.g. undersized crankshaft pulleys, etc. I'm usually joined in this skepticism by one or more Techs, SuperMods, etc., i.e. the RKIs with the big color banners under their avatars.

As an aside, what 3rd grader died and made you Hall Monitor, with the "authori-tah" to "reprimand" other posters? You SLAY me with your nerdy self-importance.


OTOH, your insights on belt-tensioner alignment and shimming seem to have merit. How-to pics would add value to your fix, and help it achieve 'Sticky' or Tech Library status. Things like that add value to the site. Dropping out-of-phase, sanctimonious comments into 4-year old threads... not so much.

Perhaps if you actually read this thread before commenting you wouldn't make yourself look so foolish... our discussion wasn't centered on factory engineers and their engineering choices, it was centered on those that offer expert advice on mods and repairs that they have no personal knowledge or experience with. You wouldn't do that, would you?

Once again your reading comprehension skills leave a lot to be desired... you were reprimanded by the forum moderator for spouting your misguided political views, not by me.

How would you know if shimming a belt tensioner does or does not have merit? Have you yourself ever actually shimmed a tensioner, or are you one of those internet experts that offers expert advice on mods and repairs that you have no personal experience with? How about an e-fan... have you ever actually swapped in an electric fan into a 3.0 Ranger for yourself? I'll bet you haven't, yet you seem to feel qualified to offer expert advice on e-fans in this thread. I mean you're the exact type of book-learned internet expert that we've been discussing... is that whacked or what?!

And speaking of accusing me of being your personal troll, you're the one that followed me over here to this thread and messed it up, so who's the personal troll in this deal? And ya'll be sure and include some of those emoticons in your next post, y'hear? They really enhance your credibility.

Love it. No info, just a bunch of bickering. At least it didn't get as bad as some threads. And about under drive pulleys, and e fans. I for the gell of it, love to tinker and experiment. If it works it works, if not, i wasted my money, my time, and still had fun. Kinda like that time i replaced my upper control arms and found out i destroyed my brake line in the process haha. Live and learn.
Anyways... I hope to relieve stress from engine and make it more efficient through little mods like this.
Some good information did come out of the argument, as you all sat there trying to disprove each other: that just puts out different sides allowing others to make their own conclusion.
Thanks.

Other than a bit of self-righteous criticizing, what sort of info did your post add to this thread? Nothing that I can see. Let me suggest this bit of info = people that live in glass house shouldn't throw stones. Do ya love that?
