Not to bring back an old post, but apparently this problem still exists. I have a 2025 Ranger Raptor with the same problem—but worse. Every time I drove my truck I swear I smelled something burning. I did my first oil change at Ford at 2k miles—they did an inspection and never found anything...

Shadow Dragon—you are right. After I read your reply, I ran out to my driveway and proceeded to test all the panels on the Ranger with a big speaker magnet—only the hood is aluminum. I’m shocked. I tested the F150 right next to it and every panel seems to be aluminum. Learn something new...

John. I replied to another post you had about using a hand impact driver. I still have mine from the ‘70s as well. But, I don’t know if you knew this or not, I learned it over 45 years ago, when I was complaining to my Honda dealer that all the heads of the screws always stripped out. Just like...

I have seen multiple pictures of torched bedliners, heat bubbled paint, various scratch marks from vise grips and pliers. Broken screws drilled off-center and basically, just a waste of time and destruction of our trucks to get the thread-locked TP40 screws off our tie-downs. My truck has...

I think we would all agree, that in a perfect world. It would be better not to run spacers—but for multiple reasons we alway find economics in using spacers instead of new wheels—and in some cases, wheel manufacturers don’t make wheels in the desired backspace. I would say: buy from quality...

I just spent a ton of money with a Turbo upgrade, Intercooler, Chargepipes, Downpipes, etc, etc. on a brand new Ranger Raptor turbo V6. if I had a choice, I would pick a Supercharged Coyote every time over and over without fail. You cannot beat the instant throttle response of a supercharger...

How about the factory ford spoiler? It’s only $211

Didn’t mean to mis quote hp versus PS, for some reason my iPhone does weird things with this app, right in the middle of doing something some screen popped up and your Dyno chart enlarged, and I saw PS as unit of measure—then, I recalled a member from Mexico post your numbers in PS. I’m also...

I actually just looked at your units of measurement—you are using PS and Nm for Hp and Tq? I remember using those units when I was overseas. Now, I think about your name and realize you must be from down under. Sorry I missed that. If my conversion math is correct, 497PS equals about 490hp and...

your power doesn’t fall off until over 6600rpm—did you see my last Dyno pull? Mine died at 6100 (I mean, complete fall off like it hit a rev limiter)when stock, and stops at about 6200 with both hp and Tq declining. I’m not sure if my tuner quit pushing it because it was running out of fuel. I...

Fresh 93 fuel. The blue lines are last runs today (474Whp). Red lines are the baseline from when the truck was stock (347Whp). A 127 hp improvement. There was more power to be had, butt, the injector pulse widths were too wide and the fuel pressure dropped from 3600psi to under 3000 psi. It...

ARB and Toyota have a partnership with ARB being the OEM supplier of bumpers, shocks,

ARB has its parts available in Australia. I am not sure, but I think they have some sort of exclusive agreement with Toyota in North America. In Australia, ARB teamed up with Ford to make factory accessories which are not available. I tried to get the air compressor kit to mount in side the...

That is the plan. Crossed fingers.

Has anyone tried an inductive nut heater? Usually, you would put the circular element over/ around the nut, push the button for about 30 seconds, and presto— the nut is red hot and easy to remove. I was thinking maybe, if the heating element was placed over the Head of the bolt for a few...

You guys are old—I’ve only had mine for 47 years—for a Honda SL100.

To all that are watching—Yesterday was supposed to be Dyno/Tune day. The day came and went, and I didn’t know what to say. I have good news to report, and bad news. I don’t have any big-time, high horsepower numbers to report, or pictures of a lean-burned melted engine—that‘s the good news...

Is 500whp still my goal? I would say Minimum goal. Thats 500 at the wheels, after all parasitic and drivetrain losses. That would translate to about 600 SAE net, BHP or at the crank. I barely have 3k miles on the truck. Out of the 3 months I’ve had it, it has spend over a month in several...

Goosetuned, I tried not to recreate the wheel. I found a few builders that I followed—such as yourself—you are running the X series. It seems most people that have went to the larger turbos have skipped from stage one straight to “X”. It’s about $1800 difference. Best I could tell from Nostrum’s...
