Damn, that's a good looking color, i like the side decals on it too, not too loud but still stands out. I understand some people not wanting the big decals but i think on a few of the colors it looks great and i think yours and my shelter green are certainly two of them. Glad you like the...
Congrats on the new truck and welcome to the community! One thing to check for on your 2024 is if the Load Box Reinforcement brackets were installed on the bed. If you plan to put any sort of rack or bed cap on there you will wnat to get that reinforced to avoid any sort of damage. There are...
i think that might be worth giving a shot. i have never acutally used seafoam as an intake treatment but have watched a few youtube videos about it. My only concern is how much of the solution is getting introduced in a given amount of time. if it is too much, it could cause the engine to...
Perfect, i'm going to check it out right now and maybe when i get home today i'll give it a shot to see what the valves look like instead of pulling all the plugs again.
the price looks about right, i just paid $321 for the service at my local auto mechanic, dealer is similar price. in my opinion, 300 bucks every 20,000 miles is a lot to be honest and the more i think about it, i think a walnut blast ever 80,000 to 100,000 miles for around $800-1000 will be...
That is interesting and i think i am going to invest in a walnut blaster as well just because i have 3 vehicles that are all direct injection and the cost of 3 intake cleaning services is going to be 900 bucks if i go the BG Platinum route and a walnut blaster on the cheap end is only 300-400...
I did end up buying a new BoreScope camera with side view cameras integrated into the barren instead of having to pivot the main camera. It makes for a much better picture but still not anything at the level of some of the more expensive professional grade cameras out there. For u def $100 I’m...
you and me both! I have already decided that if the BG Playnum doesn’t get it cleaned up, im gonna invest in a walnut blaster system and give that a shot! I’ll keep everyone posted and I’ll be sure to post here as I progress!
Hey everybody, just spent the afternoon scoping the intake valves thru the spark plug holes and was surprised by the amount of buildup there was after 34k miles. This video shows the results. Curious if anyone else did a similar test and can give me an idea if I’m seeing normal buildup or if it...
With direct injection and no port injection, the induction cleaning at 30-40k miles is not a bad idea to keep carbon build up on the valves under control. As for the spark plugs, generally not a bad idea to swap them somewhere between 30-60k miles in general… I’m more of a preventative...
I asked the dealer for a quote on spark plug replacement in my Ranger Raptor and they quoted me $540! That seems absolutely insane to me. It doesn’t look like a terribly difficult job so I think I’ll be doing it on my own. They also said that their induction cleaning service was $330… but it was...
Thanks for posting this! I’m gonna crawl under my truck this weekend and give it a look to make sure all is as it should be and confirm it is the same on a 2024
I did transfer case and both diffs at 20k… diffs didn’t need it at all, transfer case was a little dirty. Cooling looks dirty but brakes will probably be fine like you said. Cheers
I was at the dealer getting my state inspection done and I swung by the parts department to get some costs on transmission fluid / filter and pan gasket along with a quote from the service department for them to do the work... the results:
Parts alone about $260 with tax included (12 quarts of...
I looked into that, the mounting hard points are not there on the A-pillar of the US spec trucks to mount one from a RHD truck. That was my first thought as well
