Hey brother. Another awesome video. I’ve got all the same mods on my 3.2 xls 2015 for the last 6yrs or so and you’re right about all gains in power and handling. Good job mate and look forward to next video 🤟
these videos are super helpful! I have a 2012 hi-rider 4x2 ranger I use as my primary vehicle as well as a towing vehicle for the horses, looking into these videos for ways to improve performance as it is super important that it runs the best it can. i have had it for about a year and so far at 170k the car went into limp mode and the temperature skyrocketed and had to pull over immediately (luckily I wasn't towing). the mechanics ran the code through and they replaced my radiator and temperature gauge, it seems to be going okay now. i would say most if not all of the car is still using factory parts so from your videos I now know to look into replacing things like intercooler, injectors, erg cooler etc
From past experience with work shops i have come to have a healthy skepticism about their workmanship and results . So i am asking if there is any public domain tuning software that you guys can recommend so that i can see my fuel maps etc and the values my ranger has stored on the chip. I am keen to learn more and gain a deeper understanding. thanks in advance.
So I've done all these mods now, based on your videos. I also got a 4" snorkel. Happy with all the changes so far. My question now is, would it also be good to get a remap? Will all the improved airflow and changes to the exhaust, would a remap really help to optimize these changes?
Here are some ideas for some cheap but good mods for the Ford Ranger: - LED Headlights (just the bulb - you dont need the whole thing to replace) - LED Foglights (Easy to insatll and also very cheap nice Upgrade) - Cover you exhause pipe at the motor with thermo isolating band to reduce heat under the hood and improove airflow - Use silicon hoses for youre hot and cold also for youre Airbox. A small upgrade but it helps with a more stable Airflow in the engine - This is a little more expensive or more work to do but replace youre breakhoses with metal ones. You gain a better breakpower and break reaction. - Use a Racing filter for the Standart Airbox Thx for youre Videos
Hey mate, thanks for the tips. I’m about to rip out my air cleaner box and sort it out. I fully enjoy your stuff. You lay it out well and as it turns out you think as I do regarding the ranger. My rear exhaust was a joke and I had it off early. I’m going to replace with the 3 inch. I’m assuming you’ve done something on the thermal fan, I’ll have a look. I noticed your belief, and I respect that in anyone. I have my own thoughts and was raised by Christian people and I myself have have been of the same mind. And yet, and although I have a set of thoughts on the Maker of it all and everything I remind myself that, and this comes from my age and learning, zealot belief is or can be the death of reason and logic. I say this in a way that you might gain a sense of enjoyment from my few words. Hoping you enjoy something from these few words that makes you consider contemplating it for a while, . From a thinking man. Enjoy the moment because as you know I’m sure, this moment is all there ever is.
You're a Legend brother, Saving each Ranger owners $$$. Alot of the mods, improvements especially with the EGR blanking would work for the PX3 DCAD W A/S 2020?
Cheers! I’ve done all these except the inter cooler (next on the list) on my 3.2 manual with great results… exhaust is 3” no cat but I have added an aftermarket hi flow hooka muffler and found it runs better with then without
I have a ford ranger 2016 and my battery isn't charging, probably problem with the alternator.. is there a fuse for the alternator, do you know it's location
Thank you for you videos! Talking about modification, have you ever heard about oil pump failure? Here it is not very rare that at about 180000km oil pump destructs, and some pieces can damage engine hardly. So the modification is Ford Euro4 oil pump 1c1q 6600 needs custom adapter for oil intake. Or change it every 160000km :) Maybe the reason why - our cold winters.
Hey mate, a tonne of your videos have been so helpful. I’ve been troubleshooting my 2012 manual 4x2 with the p5at for 9 months with no resolution, and would be keen on your thoughts. I’ve got a detailed post with video on the ranger forum. Would you be ok if I shared via email? It’s basically a very inconsistent and intermittent idle stutter and stalling problem.
Yeap 2018 px2, ATI intercooler with hardpipes, airbox mod, pointless dpf back exhaust 😂. 0 lag in the pedal, yet to get it remaped, will let ya know how it goes!
@@vonlogan1 ended up making 176rwhp and 520nm of torque. Totally different car to drive with the trans tuned also. House of automotive in WA sells a quallity and affordable intercooler and hard pipe kit suit 3.2s too.
Hey mate my 2013 bt50 p5at, has been stalling while driving and showing code p2291 injector control presuure to low engine cranking any idea on how to fix
can we use 0w-30 synthetic oil for Ford ranger XLT 2017(3.2l Diesel )? please let me know. i have already changed it and now havig the doubts about it.
I have a 2014 with 258K on the clock. Always run 5w-30 and doesn't burn oil. I trust what the oil manufactures say to use. I prefer Castrol but often use Penrite.
I just spent 15k € on my 2.2 T7 for a brand new engine and turbo after the compressor side leaked liters of oil in the intake and cracked the 4th piston. I had tuned ECU, EGR disabled and DPF removed plus ceramic oil to lower the friction so beware.

Brilliant content sir 👏👍
Hey thanks so much for these videos! I actually took out my injectors this morning based on your vids
Me too. Did mine this morning. Diesel usage dropped about 2L 100km from 12.2 to 10.2 :) 2014 3.2 with 258K on the clock.

Dude thanks for the verse
Im looking at replacing my factory airbox, any recommendations on which one?

not bad power and torque figures from the stock 2.2l. the 3.2 only makes like 145hp at the tyres stock so the 2.2 punches above its weight at 120hp.

would you recommend ECU tuning/remapping the ranger?

Is it true that going with a larger aluminum intercooler without upgrading the turbo will cause more lag?
Great ranger content, I'm from mexico planning to buy a 2.2 diesel T6.
definitely consider 3.2

Can confirm straight thru pipe is loud and sounds sick
Lol 4cyl diesels sound like sht
My 5cl manual sounds sick with straight through 3” but added a hi flow hooka muffler and found it has better top end in the rev range,

yeh thats fine, email me
As far as the suspension, I was thinking of getting the Ironman pro cell foam kit? Do you have any preferences or cautions about certain kits?
ironman is preety good
Hi mate are you able to tell me if the intercooler replacement can be done with a bull bar still on?
yes check out my intercooler video
Yeap 2018 px2, ATI intercooler with hardpipes, airbox mod, pointless dpf back exhaust 😂. 0 lag in the pedal, yet to get it remaped, will let ya know how it goes!
Pipes made a massive difference.. did the intake pipe as well from the top of air box to turbo
When you did your intercooler upgrade, did you manage to trim and keep the intercooler panels on either side? Is it worth the effort, or don’t bother?
@@vonlogan1 i was going to mate, but just left them out. Extra air passing over the alloy ends id as adds cooling them more too.

how much fuel pressure on idle? would recommend checking out my fuel system info video
do you know what cause the intercooler to fail?
poor quality, any intercooler with plastic end tanks will fail sooner or later
can we use 0w-30 synthetic oil for Ford ranger XLT 2017(3.2l Diesel )? please let me know. i have already changed it and now havig the doubts about it.

the intercooler. stock is so bad. replaced mine few months ago. aftermarket ones in uk are stupid expensive so im stuck
Is that the same as the radiator?
2:15 Plastic? My dad bought his t6 Ford Ranger 3.2 2nd hand and it has a aluminum/steel intercooler
I noticed in the video at 3:09 your ranger isnt 4wd? No front driveshafts?
nah just a 4 x 2
@@abdautomotive i didnt know they did them in4x2
With the ForeFront intercooler, did you have to buy their silicone hose kit? Or did you stick with the stock one?
Most are a drop in so you just need to get a hose kit to suit your engine (2.2 vs 3.2) as they sit diffrent
@@WillCheang so to clarify your answer, I do need a new hose kits as the old one won’t work?
If it's the correct one for your model and engine the standard hoses should fit.
@@mgreenesco9955 thanks
standard hoses will work
my ranger has a snorkel fitted ,does that eliminate the restriction or do i need to still do it?
Depends, mine replaces that part with a silicone hose and a big bit of pipe
with snorkel it should be removed
Yes
Diff drop to help with cv 😂
Can get 10mm longer cv so diff drop not needed
its a 4x2
