Its friday was HAULING home (driving faster then normal)...

was bored on the interstate and well took some pics its kinda hard to take a picture and drive at the same time


thanks to trent for the scanguage also!!



blurry but who cares -- you get the point
I was getting funny looks when this big truck goes flying by all these smaller cars..lol handled pretty good for what I have going 80..i had one point it at 86ish with 9.0 MPG lol

what i have been working on all week at work




they are for grab handles in a gangway for Vancouver Canada..from when I get the pieces to when I get the parts to shipping its about an hour later PER PIECE I have couple orders totalling 40 handles!!!

after the pieces get welded the welds have to be taken down welded on a plate..then on the tube the welds once again get taken down and polished this time so its one piece no discoloring no welds showing..aka perfection!

yes i was borred at work today!

also Tre this pic is for you



DIMES SON!!!!

 

how the hell are you getting such good gas mileage i do 73 and i get 12-13 mpg on highway lol

 

i bet that thing isnt 100% accurate

but ever since Ive been back from Recruit training in March ive been getting 15-16 MPG

4.88 gears and a programmer running 93 Octane..260 a tank or so
forgot to add this picture too

 

Awesome!

 

260 a tank.. Holy ****. I am getting like 220 max.

 

Yeah I get about 220 as well. Damn 4.0's.

I've never even had my truck over 80mph lol

 

Whats the 71.0 HPR mean

 

I topped my truck out at 95mph. Had it WOT and it just wouldnt go any faster. Damn 3.0, lol

 

Truck looks huge in that last pic

 

If you are only getting 220 with your truck you might wanna get that checked out. I get about 17.5mpg.

 

Horsepower

thanks guys yea its big in person but some pics make it look huge

im so happy with the mileage that im getting -- i was so suprised how well it handled going 85ish..tires were roaring like crazy too i loved it!

 

I get around 210 per tank.

All mine is city though, and I can have a leadfoot to be honest.

I'm guessing yours is a lot of highway? 17.5mpg is good for a Ranger

 

Looks good man. I am thinking you need my 37s

 

ive already said id take them but you said no lol

id take em in a heart beat!

 

Looks great Evan, glad you like the SG. It does look like a beast in that last pic

 

EVAN

how do you get that good of gas milage?
i get like 215 to a tank =[

 

are you getting 260 before or after you factor in the tires?
and i think something is off, cause with bigger tires your speedo is supposed to run slower than the truck.

 

He has a tuner so his speedo is probably correct.

 

correct -- ive got a SCT tuned to the 35s and 4.88s


when i say i get 260 a tank i mean its like 18.750 gallons to fill or more..its almost dead empty

also i normally never go over 60~65 MPH and i acclerate so effin slow too i love watching people get pissed i just really never get on the gas if i have too and like i said 93 octane

 

Jeez I got 14.4 on my 93 tune. Mountain driving with the 5.4 ftl lol

 

SAS -- FTW

lemme add -- doing it right too -- ive spent probably an extra 1000 dollars in gears and a programmer and look where it got it me :)

 

everyone most go slower in other states cities because here in Jax Florida if your not going 80-85 on the interstate your going to get run the **** over by grandmas... i cant remember a day when i drove my ranger when i didn't hit 85 mph... but then again my city is the biggest one land wise in the us... so maybe that explains it

 

Yep, I can't wait to get my custom tunes. Supposed to have the same performance as the canned 93 tune but while running 87.

 

what kind of tune are you running?

 

umm -- 93 performance i think, then i got 87 trq and 87 performance i think..i cant remember i just know im running my only 93 tune
