Pulled the turbo ranger out of storage... Now with Pictures!
I've had my ranger in storage for the past 3 months seeing as how I just painted it last summer. It warmed up the past few days and melted all the crap off the roads then it rained a 1/2" yesterday which really cleaned the roads up. Now it's back to about 15 and the next 3 days are supposed to be clear.
I got off work today and couldn't think of anything better to do so I decided to go get the ranger out. I filled it up with premium, turned the fuel pressure up a couple psi, and then took it for a few blasts! All I gotta say is....
WOW!!!!!! An intercooler works really well when the surroundings are at 10 degrees!!!!!!!
I was running 17 psi with no detonation. The truck was absolutely screaming. I couldn't shift through 1st or 2nd fast enough to keep up with the engine. The 3rd gear pull from 55 to 85 takes about 3 seconds.
Man I almost forgot how good a whistling turbo sounds....
