You would also need to get a new transmission and transfer case to make it 4wd. In some cases though you could get a transfer case adapter for a 2wd transmission and shorten the output shaft to make it fit a transfer case. Best bet would be finding a 4wd ranger from junkyard and pull the transmission and transfer case, If the transfer case is electronically shifted you will need to get the stuff for that. If you had a manual one though all you would have to do is get the linkage and shifter and drill a hole in the transmission tunnel for the shifter. With all the work though I think it would be easier to just start with a 4wd ranger to begin with.

@wyatts.4513 id honestly would do that. But it's kinda a sentimental thing my grandpa gave me before he died. And I don't mind getting hands dirty. Being quite mechanical inclined I don't mind getting into it. But just wanted some input.

That sounds like a great truck to start with!!…. Really nice it has a rebuilt motor… that should give you the updated guides etc! I got a ton more projects planned… starting in a couple weeks I will get some more videos out.

Thanks 👍

Thanks! You should do it! 😁👍

I don’t think so, they are severely underpowered. If you turbocharged it maybe better….. but a lot mention stock they are really lacking.

Motorcraft DY-1159 Intake Air Charge Temperature Sensor

Thank you!

That sounds like a great truck! I love my 5speed it’s one of the best upgrades I did. The supercharger is a really nice bonus, you would immediately notice the difference. I no longer downshift for hills on the highway. 👌👍

That’s funny you don’t have the iat after the turbo. You can tune it based off intake air but it’s much more accurate basing it after the power adder…. More boost usually means more heat…. You won’t know that temperature if you’re measuring before the power adder. I’m currently in the middle of tuning it myself and ford has some great strategies based off the iat…. Add more fuel or take out some timing. I’m happy I have it there otherwise I would have to keep everything very fat… lots of fuel little timing etc. definitely a bit more heat soak but it’s easy to tune for it… low idle… rpm you can keep the computer from referencing it. Hope that makes sense… so far it’s working for me

Sorry missed your question. I don’t really have specifics but I did a lot of testing on some paper I had hanging then I sprayed the back side of my fenders and hood. It actually flattens out pretty good, I think you will like the look! 👌

They are newer Ranger mirrors… I believe these were off a 2006. If you check my playlist I believe I did a video on the installation.

Awe that stinks… are you sure you can’t get it out. I thought it would come out on the manual and automatics

Thanks! I 100% recommend the raptor liner! I’ve been on a ton of ATV tracks close brush scratching the truck. You can only tell by the mirrors and other plastic trim, not a mark on the raptor. No peeling, No fading. I’d definitely do it again but probably a bit darker grey.

@@RangerShop1 that’s what I’m wanting to do is a dark gray on mine. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I love what your doing with the channel. Super in depth video not caring how long. Great stuff

Thanks! I always try to think about what I’d want to know if I did this job. Appreciate the feedback!

The rims are just sock painted flat black. The tires are Duratrac 235/75r16

Good I was pulling a 3000lb trailer with a locker in the front as long as I took it easy I didn’t have any problems climbing rock or going through deep mud.

Pull off the trim around the column, and the trim underneath the column by your knees, once the trim is removed climb under the dash and look up you will see 4 large nuts they hold the column up. Remove them and you can drop the column, once the column is sitting on your seat you will be able to see the bolts holding that shaft down. Don’t forget to unhook the PRNDL wire before dropping the column or you will break it. Sorry I definitely could have done a better job filming back in the early days!

@@RangerShop1 haha it’s all good , I’m just glad you took time to even make a video! Thanks for all the help! I’m about to try that right now. Pray for me haha

@@RangerShop1 ok idk if you can help me even more… lol, I got the broke tube and plunger out and I got the new one in… well it’s still stuck in drive and no matter what I do it still will not shift up or down… any ideas? Did I put it back together wrong? I’m lost

Intercooler tanks I got from Moddbox, the heat exchanger was done by a local rad shop in London Ontario where I live. Talk to Steve at Ace Radiator. If you have a few buddies your price would drop dramatically. I ended up splitting the cost with a friend and we had two made…. The second one was only 50$ more than the first for materials plus the welding.

@@RangerShop1 Thanks for the info, I'm I Grand Bend. I just received my ModdBox kit and waiting for a few other parts. I will talk to Aaron and see if I can get a set of tanks.

Nice I’d definitely recommend it. They fit really good!

I was talking to Aaron and they don't have any more intercoolers and not planning to make any more., I guess if decide to add more boost I will have to do the meth/water injection.

Awe that’s really to bad!! Yeah methanol would work but if you’re towing or in boost a lot it will burn through it pretty quickly! It’s too bad I just sold my methanol kit because the intercooler was working so well! Please keep me posted, are you on instagram I’d love to follow the build!

Yes definitely install an IAT in there. If you want to tune in the future it will be much easier… you can tune for the air temp accurately

@@RangerShop1 hey one more question so my truck is using up so much more gas do you think I did something wrong or is normal?

Shouldn’t use anymore gas under normal driving. The first while I was using quite a bit more but it was because I was always pegging the boost. If you’re driving like normal and it’s using more gas I’d say something is off. Check for vacuum leaks or exhaust leaks… something that is tricking the computer into thinking you’re running lean when you’re actually ok.

@@RangerShop1 thank you so much!

These at 31x10.5 the new ones at 35x10.5

@@RangerShop1thanks for the response. I’m thinking about doing this to my 2000 Chevy blazer. Is it truly worth it? If I follow your instructions I think I can do it myself. It’s way cheaper than painting it. How much roughly did you have in it total just to paint the outside?

That’s tough it depends on what you want out of the vehicle. Off road or something completely different then I 100% recommend it. It’s cheaper for sure, way more durable and very forgiving to spray. The downside is once done you can’t really go back. It would be so much work to sand off! 😬 I’m going to use this on every off road vehicle I get. Total for me including the Hvlp gun and raptor to do my canopy and inside door jams I used 11 bottles but had about 1 3/4 left over. Cost me around 700$ Canadian. That includes my sand paper, acetone, masking plastic etc.

Nice 👍

I ended up bed mounting it…. I really tried to get it underneath but just couldn’t. I’ll get a video out soon on it.

Here’s a chart to explain- I just mixed 20% black raptor with 80% white. It came out a bit to blue for my liking… I’d probably recommend more black. www.raptorliner.com/uploads/6/9/6/5/6965393/raptor_liner_mixing_gray-info-us.pdf

@@RangerShop1 many thanks

I like my electric fan… but I ended up going with a controller that ramps the speed depending on the temp.

@@RangerShop1 I got my fan wired in, it came with a thermostat switch that was way too low and just ran all the time. Then I put in a 200 on and 185 thermostat switch in but think that's too hot now haha

Glad it was helpful!

I’ve put around 20K miles on it. No problems at all. But now i am going to raise the boost to 5psi. So we will see.

@@RangerShop1 thank you so much for this info !

Good idea!

It depends if has the torsion rods then yep it would be the same. If it has the coil spring pockets built into the frame then it would be different

Sorry I’ve been crazy busy the last few months. I’ll check out your questions now…. Sorry I don’t see your questions anywhere. Just post them on that video and I’ll try to answer the best I can.

I haven’t needed it so far…, if you were running a ton of boost plus towing it would probably be a good idea. I’m going to max out at 5psi so should be safe.

Yeah it was terrible! It’s all good now, no more leaks!

Literally same here😂

Thank you 👍

Thanks! Man that’s some good information. I saved your comment for when I tune it! Appreciate the info! Thats encouraging to hear you running on 8psi, part of me just wants to jump to that, tune it and be done. But I’m just not sure if I could consistently tow with that boost? I better try the 5psi first are you running methanol injection, any form of cooling? Thanks again for the info!

I have a water to air intercooler similar to the one you installed and a water/methonal Injector. I can still hit 190F on hot days wot up a long hill, but it drops pretty quickly. Eventually I will install some electric fans for the intercooler, but just havent gotten to it yet. I would also suggest the catch can you mentioned in the video, I have to empty mine every other gas fill.
