My credo
I don't count birthday's anymore...just happy to be looking down at the ground instead of looking up
Been watching the latest Mecum Auction, and came to the realization that us Ranger owners with 4 cyl engines, do not really have a 4 cyl engine.
Rather it's 1/3 of a 12 cyl engine, including about 1/4 of it's 600 hp ratings (using a 12 cyl Ferrari as a base example) We can call it the 1/3 X 12 inline engine.
Sooooo, you can now tell your friends that you have a partial 12 cyl powerhouse engine powering your Ranger.

I'll see your 1/3 of a V12, and raise you 1/6th.
