What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

[Ramcharger90]

New Walbro 255lph and replaced the steering gear with the rebuilt one.

Judging by how much room this would save going mustang 2 front suspension I may have too on the next one I build.

A lift? You r spoiled, I got lift shackles in rear, was definitely 2 drivers leaf bracket needed for me, all new leaf bushings, new shocks in rear, finished brake bleeding, attached parking cable from expo to ranger, that was a PITA, not enough tension. Took it for a test run to Wendy's, 8.8 swap seems good. Guess I'll go start yanking 4cyl out after my lunch settles

Used it to ferry wagons around.

Changed the oil. The usual Motorcraft FL-820S filter and Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5w-30. 205,000 miles and still runs great.

Somebody’s gonna get mad about you driving all over their corn field.

Removed the EGR, cleaned it and reinstalled it. Cleaned the corn out of the air box and blew out the air filter.

Took the 2019 out to Ohio to load it and the trailer up with firewood. Pictures to come.

And item of note. The factory “All-Terrain” tires are not. They got stuck in mud they shouldn’t have.

I changed the engine oil and rotated the tires this morning, I make sure to change the oil every 10,000 miles whether it needs it or not.

Last week I replaced inner and outer tie rod ends and aligned it. Gave it 1/16” toe in.

It’s to windy and wet to drop the trees that were in the plans for today. So, will have to just have to work with what I loaded yesterday. The trailer is full up to the top of the trailer sides.

Sounds like the Goodyear duratraks I put on the Ram worst A/T tires ever. But they are suppose to be the most aggressive A/T tire GY makes.... JUNK.... I should have wait the 8-12 week back order for the General Tires I wanted.

I have the duratrak mud terrains on my F350, the thing is never driven empty and I have around 30k miles on them and they're down to 50% or so, I've never gotten that thing stuck but haven't tried that hard, occasionally it needs 4x4 to keep moving, if it starts slipping there drop the pressure to 15-20psi and it's good to go (with a 7300lb truck with a 3000lb camper in back towing something or other, the tires are squishy there...). I think the problem with new stuff is no one wants sidewalls anymore... I'm a fan of sidewalls, gives you more options and rides better...

No no, you use mud tires in mud...

We run them on the back of our 2wd service truck at work, granted the thing is stupid heavy but it is a tank.

Made it back from Ohio in one piece. Even got to play in a light coating of snow. The 2019 was definitely in boost mode for the trip home (14.9 mpg) and the trailer was starting to get a little bit squirrelly at 70 mph with the snow but steadied right up when I dropped to 65 mph. As a test, I ran the truck with 91 octane for the trip. It never felt like it was struggling but I don't have a highway run on 87 octane to compare it with yet. Tow haul mode performed as it should. The sensors in the truck did not like the ice build up. Stopping and starting at the end of the trip would cause the sensor system to freak out for some reason. Regular driving wasn't a problem though and the truck knew the trailer was behind it the whole time. So it had to be the ice build up causing the issue.

Floyd looked lonely so I took him to the Post Office to mail a couple of letters.
