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

And afterthought, but my cousin and her husband visited relatives in Poland the week before, and they were over the Atlantic when this all happened. They diverted all those planes to Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, and they were there for eight days. They stayed in a couple’s house with a couple other couples, nobody knew each other when it started, and they’re still friends to this day.

Changed the oil and filter.

I took it out for a 30 mile cruise with the intent of just checking all the gauges, temperatures and pressures and seeing what's up with the new ride. Everything looks good from what I'm seeing. I'll post the gauges tomorrow. Plus...it was a shit-ton-o-fun

Did a tractor pull in the explorer on Saturday, good ol time, actually the wife went first then my friends daughter in their hooptie jeep then me... I got first, jeep second and I don't remember where the Frontier, square body chevy or the wife fit in after that but I know who does the books so I can find out. Bent the drop hitch I had in upside down to get the height right at the maximum...

Ok, the stats are on the website, turns out my Explorer got first and last lol. I beat my buddies Jeep by 23' and beat the wife by just shy of 53' so there's a big difference in how you launch apparently...

Okay, here goes.

Do you know why Italians don’t like to ride in a helicopter?


The front goes wop wop wop and the back goes ginnee ginnee ginnee…

Hey, I’m Polish, I earned the right

All in fun, the cute little brunette is as Italian as the day is long, and I love it!

What sound does an Italian car make when it gets a flat tire?








wop wop wop wop wop wop wop...................

I finally figured out when I had been having issues with the abs for the past 6 years. I would get dropped pulses on the front left WSS when driving. I thought there was an issue with the wheel bearing causing the clearances to bee too large.

Turns out the tone ring was just poorly designed on the rotor that was installed. The hole spacing was not evenly spaced.


I ended up replacing the front brakes, rotors, wheel bearings.

Changed the passenger's-side timing-chain tensioner. Easy-peasy after removing the inner fender liner. I have a 27 mm 75° offset box-end wrench on order that I suspect will be just the tool needed to get the driver's-side tensioner without removing the temperature sensor. I can grind the wrench to fit if needed.

I primed the tensioner before installation and used the ignition-cutout protocol when starting (floor the accelerator pedal while turning the ignition key) until the oil light went out. Took only a few seconds before the light went out.

The Ranger will turn over 200,000 miles (320 000 km) this week.
