Over time this will cause them to wear through or rip especially if you maxed out your TT, The new increased angle and such. Just undo the...

    mechanical cooling fan vs electric

    I agree the electrical fan is convenient as far as shutting it off in colder weather. The clutch fan on my 03 shortsport is always drawing a little bit of air through the radiator, so when winter comes it seems like my ex never gets up to full operating temperature and even just the heater...

    Popped in some new plugs the other day...

    This is only one example. I know of plenty other Ford and GM applications that the same has happened. A good friend works for Ford as a mechanic for over 30 years and . backs this claim up. I love and only use NGK in my Evolution

    I have a 03 sport sport xlt i hacked the exhaust off right before the 2 cats remounted the 2nd O2 sensor, ran a Flowmaster 40 and a down turn rightbefore the rear axle, no tail pipe. The power gain is decent high and low, sound is great. Backpressure is a myth

    i need a little help

    What you'll need its spring perches from M.O.R.E., the biggest they make for only $49ish and then shackles. the Performance Accessories part number #883 for a 98 Ranger 3" body lift. Then you'll see where your patience and mechanical know how can take you. Trust me its worth it though. By doing...

    i need a little help

    Look around on this forum and you'll find the solution many others came up with. There are 2 very expensive 4" lifts from traimaster and superlift. You can get 5" in the front and 6.25 in the back for a fraction of the price. It just takes some ingenuity and patience. Key ideas are Spring over...

    Popped in some new plugs the other day...

    Popped in some new plugs the other day...

    Bosch plugs were horrible plugs to put in there. These trucks are very temperamental with their spark systems. Its either stock spec MotorCraft or replace and upgrade it ALL. Talking MSD Ignition Controller, coil pack, bigger gage wire, plugs, and full out tune. The works
