    MPG for 3.73 axle ratio on 4WD XLT

    Correct...It is a package deal. I have a 2wd, so I am only concerned with 1 gear set. I still chose to change to the largest tire I could fit with my current wheels. Tires are easy compared to gears. I set my trip computer (Autel Maxitrip)to show live mpg. It is interesting how much different...

    MPG for 3.73 axle ratio on 4WD XLT

    I agree that an auto trans does use more fuel than a manual, and 4x4 will compound that. A lot of mileage differences depend on the individual driving habits. I do disagree that 4.10 to 3.73 isn't much as far as mileage goes. I know from personal experience on my 2wd truck with 4.10 gears. I...

    MPG for 3.73 axle ratio on 4WD XLT

    It depends. Is it the 4.0 engine also? What are the tire sizes? I upped my tire size on my 03 Edge with a 3.0 and 4:10 ratio. I went from 235-75-15's to 215-85-16's which is a 5% increase. I am getting 21mpg around town and at least 22mpg highway.

    Want to buy: Washer bottle

    My plans have changed a bit. The v6 bottle is too short. Anyone have the 2 part set from a later 4 cyl? The overflow is round.

    Got the reverse monitor wired. Camera needs adjusted. Pic of the radio/ bezel controls at night. Yes I know the orange is not green. Yes I know it doesn't match. The radio has over 30 tiny leds. It will stay orange and I will learn to deal with it. Preview of washer heater mod.

    hydraulic hood lifts?

    Certain year Explorers use hydraulic lifts on the hood hinges. 95 to 01 I think. Explorer's uses 2 different hinges for driver and passenger. The driver side is the same as a Ranger. Minor modification to the firewall.

    Want to buy: Washer bottle

    No.The one you have is what I am looking for. I was just educating people on the different washer bottles in a Ranger. I am curious why Ford changed the design on the 4 cyl. I have a 3.0. Does anyone have the 2 part 4cyl design that they could measure for me?? Especially the round overflow...

    Want to buy: Washer bottle

    Not on all years. The later ones have a 2 piece deal. The overflow bottles are round. I still can't figure why? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-2011-FORD-RANGER-2-3L-COMPLETE-ENGINE-57K-W-WARRANTY-/140827096500?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c9f2f5b4&vxp=mtr

    The radio is from a 2010 Scion. Cost me less than $100.00 shipping included. The key is a usb memory stick for mp3's for the radio. I put the stick inside a key fob. The radio options are thin for usb mp3 input. I have since covered the wiper nameplate with black vinyl. The usb port was a...
