Mike I posted a transmission dip stick article for 10 speeds back in December 2025. Granted a more friendly add on is great addition to what as been available. Gotta love the aftermarket! :like: https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/under-hood-transmission-dip-stick.25391/#post-366694

" Could the air and gas mixture be too heavy on the gas if the turbos aren't spinning as much ? " Sorry missed this. The fuel mixture is controlled by the onboard computer systems whether the turbo is in use or not. No worries, drive it like you stole it, or putt putt around, the ECU has you...

I had that on a previous Lariat but your probably right or maybe its for only certain models now. Good discovery! Maybe there's a forscan tweak lurking for this!?!?!? Some vehicles can remember by just using a different FOB that is programmed for the vehicle! :)

Say Superj, I bet you still haven't got her the vanity mirror and that's why the mirrors are looking at the drivers seat when she uses them. Subliminal messaging! She's got your number man! :crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::)

Good Handle from some good old shows all my grown kids watched them growing up! :like: For your information, I thought you'd been mislead some where along the line. Turbos do not have fuel in them and are not connected to the fuel supply in any way. They are a Forced Induction device that...

Johnny 5, did you take your handle from that old movie? Also what do you mean by " I work close to home and always take it out for spin before to make sure there is no fuel is left in the turbos." ?

The 15 amp fuse are on approximately 16 Gauge US equivalent wire. The wire can safely handle about a constant 13 amp load and a surge of around 18 amps but will blow the fuse. The 25 amp wire is approximately 14 gauge equivalent and can handle a constant 20-22 amp load and a surge of around...
