Sorry, took 6 months off, Ranger has been parked for most of that... In 2 years I have driven the Ranger 5000 miles...

Anyway, it is running but goes through roughly 2 quarts of oil to a tank of gas, and considering it gets about 15mpg that's a lot of oil! Combine that with the fact that the front suspension has sagged about 2" in the last 2 years it has been kinda frustrating. The front alignment has gone all funky with that 2" of sag, it's sluggish to turn right, but really touchy turning left, I imagine it has something to do with the caster, camber, and toe all being out of spec at the same time

Anyway, new thread started in a few minutes on my oil question...

Oh, redhurricane, I finally got that valve you sold me installed and it works great! having the wastegate tight I could only get 6psi, put that valve in the line and that pushed it up to 14ish psi which pulls REALLY HARD! I need a traction bar... with my head and everything I imagine I'm in the 230hp range, I'm right on the verge of needing more fuel as I only get one ~10 second romp before it starts pinging, by the second or third gear shift it starts to ping without an intercooler... Still haven't gotten to the 3" exhaust, all I need is time and some pipe...
