I live in Wisconsin, used to switch snow tires to summer tires every year on my 2x4 2008 Ford ranger, I just went to the tire shop, asked for snow tires, had the Firestone ones, and some cheap ones off tire rack, both worked fine.
I am running Gislaved Nordfrost tires with the factory studs in Canada.
I’m currently running koni yellows. I don’t have experience with any others but these have treated me well with a 2” lowering spring on my daily. I would suggest them for a mid/entry level shock with some level of adjustability
On my 2022 my first change I used Mobil 1 Full Synthetic (always used in my cars). However, my last change I put in Liqui Moly Molygen (green container) and it may be a placebo but I feel like my engine is quieter.
Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil 1 filter. I did cams recently on my GT and at 150k, the top end looks almost new.
Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w-20 winter and 5w-30 summer Fram synthetic endurance oil filter
I’ve also tried the new K&N motor oil 5w-30 love it
I use Motorcraft or LiquiMoly for my oil... It does a great job too and tends to have less of the burned oil smell.
Trying to replace my water pump on my 2000 Ford Ranger 3.0L (flex fuel). I can’t find a video that performs this repair on my model; 4cylinders and v6 4.0 yes, but not the 3.0. There’s 12 bolts on the WPump, 11 are EZPZ, one is behind something else. I’ve got everything off except for one bolt that is stuck behind the “mount” for the pulley tensioner/AC compressor. It’s not the power steering pump, it’s not the AC compressor, and it’s not the pulley tensioner - *it’s what all 3 of these things are mounted too.* I’ve loosened 3 bolts that seem to mount this “mount” to the engine block, but I must be missing 1+, as it won’t budge.
Recently got rid of the mishimoto radiator and went back to the updated larger radiator
The Motorcraft gold coolant that Ford used from the factory had silicates in it. It became a problem with the 6.0 because of the high temps of the EGR cooler, silicates turn to sand which clogs the EGR cooler which restricts flow of coolant to oil cooler which causes both to fail.
