the duratec engine is famous for the tick. mine has done it since day 1 and now has 86k problem free miles. i wudnt worrie bout it

my 07 has been noisy since the day i got it.. also takes a few cranks to start sometimes but lately i turn the key to run with out starting and wait a few secs b4 starting and it fires instantly. i think it jus takes a sec for the fuel to reach the injectors.. got 68k miles on it now with no...

7.5..u most likely have the 3.73 if u have a manual tranny and reg. cab.. i know that most of the x cab/ auto 4 cyl. trucks have the 4.10 tho

since they quit makin the 3.0 v6 last year, i wonder wat the standard cab/short bed 4x4 will have for an engine? or if 4x4 will even be available wit that cab/bed configuration. if 4x4 is available for the std cab/short bed, it could only be the 2.3 or the 4.0 and i gota feelin it wont be the 4.0

the company who makes em is called msds headers and exhaust. ppl from rangerpowersports.com are ordering em, i wanna see how they like em before i make the call

my 2007 ranger coil sprung truck is all stock in the front. my upper arm bushings are almost totally gone and ball joints will prolly need to be replaced soon.. so my ideal plan would be to buy fabtech's upper controll arms with bushings and ball joint because both the bushings and bj are...

yea thats wat i thought too but shit its cheaper than 500$ to replace bearings

yea its like 5600 er 5800rpm.. these lil engines could prolly spin so much more. wonder how high u could go with out some kind of failure

sounds like a good set up to me. ur gearing shud feel pretty close to stock wit the 31's and 4.56s but it is still going to be more rolling resistance so u will feel a small loss in power over stock. as long as u do the re gear that tranny wont be workin much harder than the stock set up.

the whine u hear could also be the rear dif.. maybe check it out, put some fresh gear oil in there. in my owners manual, ford says the rear dif lube shud last the life of the vehicle. but when i took it to get re geared at 44k the mechanic said the bearings were burnt up and i saw it for...

wonder wat the gains wud be and the price$$

some one make em and i will buy em! haha

some one make em and i will buy em! haha

i bet it was jus defective man cause all the duratec forums on here, rangerpowersports, and ford focus forums dont have any threads bout engine failure

agreed:icon_thumby:... but i dont kno why u think 30 mpg sounds far fetched.. when i had stock wheels and tires i wud get aroung 31-33 mpg all highway going about the speed limit(65-70).. and even now with 30" bfg's and 4.56 rear end gears i average 28 mpg
