Would like a CTS but like my Scangauge II and 6-pos chip better for multiple reasons. The CTS screen can freeze in the cold here (friend's did), cost, vehicle interchangeability, etc.

They're sweet, but not for me. Plus I don't know if I could even run BDP's tunes on them (for my injectors).

I guess i hear yeah there fella. But PHP tunes can be made for whatever you have done for your truck so technically you could. But i understand what your sayin.

Well trans is out of the truck again, throw out bearing failed, pulled trans, pilot bearing was 2 min away from seizing.

South Bend Kevlar Bushing now in, and going to Ford tomorrow to get bent over for a Ford brand throw out bearing. Figured it lasted 10 years with the stock clutch, it's got to last longer than the 13 months this ValAir lasted . . .

At least I heard it before any real damage occured. Also installed my MBRP muffler delete pipe, and Rigid Industries D2 lights . . . truck is way louder and way brighter now. Just in time for my 11 hour trip to Alberta next weekend, lol.

Also, got my BushWacker flares, so I can book my truck in for rust repair in a week or two, yay!

Nothing too major, started another thread here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/ford-snapshots-videos-108/trans-out-again-129391/

Had trans out in 3 hours (I work slow and methodical), and after waiting until Tuesday for my part to come in, truck all buttoned up in about 6 hours. Always spend 90% of the time just trying to balance the damn transmission on the jacks and get the input shaft in the disc/pilot.

Got a 12 hour each way trip to start tomorrow to pick up a car from a family member. First time doing a long haul with a load, so excited to see how the truck does. Pulled super heavy equipment around at the farm before, but not like this. I'm actually using my truck like a truck, not a tractor for once!

Well the truck has had some minor exterior work done since I last posted pics, so I'll update that soon.

Also, about to compete in a sled pull for the first time ever in a few hours, as long as they let me register at the gate . . . nervous as hell, but I'm thinking it'll be a blast, if I embarrass myself or not.

Will update!
