first off, hooking together and pulling to see who can pull who-- is stupid, really bad on a truck, transmission and all..
second off, this section of trs is for urgent help fast- meaning you have something broke down that needs fixed and you need help
third, your ranger 4.0 ohv is still efi also... you have elec fuel injection right?
forth, you probably need more gear and better tires for traction more than anything for that. did your tires just spin? or you could learn how to drive and get the power to the ground better...
sorry to sound like a jerk- if you were just hooking bumpers together to see who "had a bigger penis" then i'm not actually sorry. if you had a good reason of doing it- then i'm truly sorry and you probably need better gearing and better traction.
look- the thing is i just don't like when people just go out and bash their trucks.. but its your truck so.. by all means!
