You cannot run the short filter in a 4wd
The cooler lines are not under pressure no not when the truck is not running
I get that! Hang in there
At least it’s easy fix, not like me who forgot to torque a cam bolt and ended up needing a different engine after my two test drives
Your rig should e getting 16-18 mpg
You should have 4.10 or 4.56 gears with those 33’s, 4.1 if you do
Mostly highway
Maybe it’s just time for a tune up?
For the cost of a conversion to something more “modern” you could buy 5-8 years worth of extra fuel
Sure looks like a knock sensor but your picture is not very clear. Does wiring plug into it?
No ground straps under the intake plenum lol the bolt he is talking about is circled above and is located in the valley
The 07 engine should have had a freeze plug in there unless it was installed in...

Plugged radiator
Cardboard in front of radiator (don’t laugh it happens more then you think people put it there and forget or sell the vehicle)
Upper control arms are torqued at ride height otherwise you can rip the bushings just fyi
I have a 21mm I cut in half for this long ago I also have a 21mm speed wrench that works awesome for these… I’m not even a tech at an alignment shop. You need a new shop

Looks like they tapped a standard freeze plug over the drain plug? If you pry on it does it fall off and reveal the actual drain plug?
It looks exactly like a freeze plug I think it will fall right off
Yes I got lucky, that could have really been bad! I do wish I would have found it afterwards, somebody else did. I see single ramps for sale on Facebook and Craig’s I keep hoping to buy mine back!
Show her your truck!
My wife said “oh that’s aggressive
Looking” when I took her out for our first date in my old 96 explorer.
Now we have been married 16+ years
When she found out I drove a “bronco 2 and and explorer” she was a little worried… until she saw them and we went wheeling...
You read my mind
One could easily bolt them together make a simple bracket
They do not provide such bracket with the skid plate kit, assuming you also got the bumper like we did

Normally if the od light flashes you are in limp mode and there is a trans code stored
You are welcome!
I understand that! Despite best efforts to keep them locked in I lost a ramp two summers ago also. I was wondering why the lady in the vw whi was tailgating me for about 30 miles suddenly dropped way back. I went to go buy a ranger and only had one ramp! Lucky the dude had a 2x12 and it worked...
Affordable off road slid plate is very nice!! I would recommend this to anyone with a gen ii or 98-11 ranger for sure, not a bad price either
