15:35 the beeping is the airbag module. You no longer have your airbag impact sensors on the front so it beeps 5x in a set of 5 every 45ish minutes to let you know the system has a fault. The module is in the passanger kick panel just unplug it and take it out. Should be a blue box. Will not hurt anything if you remove it. Ive owned five 96 rangers and all had that issue. Hope you see this and it helps.
@@moto132tv I was definitely wondering why they went with leafs rather than a 4-link and coils. Especially cool would be coilovers with cantilevers but I wouldn't really expect that bit.
21:39 Put a couple turns on the rebound tube of the rear bypasses and pull a couple turns out of the lower compression tube- should help with the bucking. You guys could do a full episode on shock tuning!
Also looks like the tires maybe at highway pressures instead of aired down tbh. Takes a lot of the shock absorption as well to have the tire pressures right.
i'm not sure if you guys realize it or not, but you are the show to replace Top Gear. You have the chemistry, charisma, and the outlandishness that made that show successful. I literally had one of those goofy smiles on my face after watching this. Your passion comes through and that is so enamoring and authentic. Been watching you guys for years and love the progress and direction it's going. It's also cool to hear my name in the show. :)
15:34 I used to have a 1998 Ranger. It used to beep five times and repeat five times. If thats what is happening in your Ranger, its because the airbag indicator light is burnt out. When the indicator is out, it beeps to alert you that the airbag is on. To stop the beeping, all you should have to do is replace the indicator light.
Don't think that's a truck noise. You can hear the "door open" tone during their test drive and it sounds way different. Probably a "low battery" alarm for a camera or some such.
At 6:50 drum brakes have a higher initial clamping force than comparably sized discs, but they overheat quickly. Rear drums are great for a daily driver because they wear more slowly than discs so they're overall low maintenance.
Drums on the Tacoma were great. Everyone complained about them, but I bet they weren't complaining when their brake job only cost $150-$175 for only the front and maybe a single can of brake cleaner for the rear drum shoes. No idea what's on there now, but hopefully it's disc brakes for a $48k medium sized truck!
@@mattb9664that's probably be cause rear brakes wear at about a quarter of the rate of fronts, even less on pickup trucks that aren't loaded down, not because they were drums.
Nolan is a fecking madman and he's definitely my favorite on the entire channel. He jumped this thing like his life depended on it but also said its so smooth as his heads slamming into the ceiling lol
I like the fact that even though Donut is making a lot of "Mainstream" videos, they also still make stuff that's more technical and interesting to enthusiasts. I'm a mechanical engineer, and I often cringe at misinformation on other car channels, but Donut is legit
16:15 It's pretty insane to think that these guys repair machines that carry humans and upgrade them to an insane degree. Their excitement when the brakes performed better made me realize, they did this.
I can notice big changes in Nolan’s confidence on camera, I feel like in this video he is much more present and detailed in everything he says. Love seeing the growth on the team. Thank you guys for making great content. Have fun!
BEST BUILD!!!.... so far. Miata = what tuners dream (no to little issue) High Low WRX = KNOWLEDGE on all that can go wrong but HOW to address. Camping/Off-road trucks = the importance of every Series & doing EVERYTHING ALMOST Right. Conclusion = Doing EVERYTHING RIGHT with expert help THE FIRST TIME. FAST & ALL TERRAIN.
Out of all the vehicles I've had, my '96 Ranger still holds the largest place in my heart. They're not fast, they're not powerful, but man are they fun.
@@pace5316 I had the 2.3 😊 Did end up with a '98 Exploder after that with the 4.0, which was basically just a ranger with a cap. Loved that vehicle too!
The anti-seize application at 6:04/5 timestamp with the blur sensor is all the little things that separate men from the boys in terms of texture, detail, comedic micro-moments during production and editing of these great videos. Thanks for always keeping the theatrical bar sky high.
Regular anti-seize cannot withstand the heat of breaking systems. It will dry out and turn into like a dried paste. If you really want to do this step then I suggest the copper based kind like the guy above me says, but it is not really necessary. If you don’t want your breaks to squeal just make sure you get ceramic pads
Shock tuning is well needed when y’all are done. I have a jeep MJ on 14” ads coilovwrs in the front and 16” rear. 35s boosted 4.0 stroked to 4.6l. With proper shock tuning i can hit woops and it feels like i’m driving down a normal paved road.
6:10 There is a special lube meant for that specific application. Anti seize works in a pinch, but will not hold up to the weather and say a Car wash, the same as the specified lube will. Word of Advice. Use the proper stuff, You wont be replacing your calipers and rotors WITH your brake pads Every single time.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry’s and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
The truck is already looking awesome, suspension and tires made a huge difference. Nolan doesn't give a f*** and just gives 'er the beans. Love it. Loving where this is going. Off-road vehicles are so much more fun.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO SERIES!! I, literally, was at The Mint 400 this past weekend, as the fuel man, on a friend's, Sportsman Class Truck, and I was blown away!!!! I had tons of questions, and "EVERYBODY" was willing to talk to me and help me understand that event!! There were even a few classic trucks, running leaf springs!! So this video series is perfectly timed for me, because I am very curious as to what it takes to build such a truck, and hopefully, finish the race!!
10:28 is the most relatable thing ever everybody has to admit it there’s always one who’s really running the project and when he leaves it’s just monkeys, wrenches, and bush but will be fine we can do this
The beeping 📣 is the passenger airbag light burnt out, my ranger did that too. Pretty much Ford has an alarm to notify you when that indicator light is failing since it's a safety function it's super annoying. There are ways to bypass it or you can just move a bulb from something else on the cluster into that slot and it will stop.
8:19 "pretty capable" 😂 Any vehicle I've ever bought for $500 has been able to take whatever I throw at it considering I have no sympathy for a $500 whip lol. Either way I'm glad you're doing the build and making the content!!
This build, more than any other so far, has me considering the Ship of Theseus. At what point is so much replaced that this truck is no longer a Ranger?
My absolute favorite thing about this show and the mini-series like these is how it's literally a get together of the boys, even as a viewer, and cheering them on and seeing how it'll turn out lol.
It will be a whole lot smoother if you lift the front a bit more to gain some travel and remove one or two of those leafs from the rear leaf spring packs to soften things up. The less bumpy and more like a Cadillac you get that ride and the faster you will be able to go. If you don't feel the bumps the suspension is traveling up and over the obstacle as is the goal vs bouncing off of it. Great work though, I love ranger prerunners. Fun trucks to have as a daily driver in the high desert.
well in reality they just need to do some shock tuning and soften there whole shocks all around have less rebound also i dont think they aired down at all they should probably be anywhere from 12-16 psi
Yes all good points as well. My true point is that that suspension still needs to be adjusted a bit and I’d love to see the truck reach its full potential.
@@razgriz4118 Exactly! Those are link killer springs from giant motorsports. They are intended for "race weight" like you said fuel cell, roll cage etc... that and shock tuning and this thing will be smooth as butter. This is donut media not terra crew so they are learning
That was hilarious!! The "puddle"... LOL "just don't kill me!" :-) I'm still impressed how you guys are having so much fun and getting paid to do so... The times we live in... ;-)
I think this has by far been the most entertaining series of Money Pit so far. Every episode is full of interesting upgrades, difficult challenges, and of course lots of laughs.
I never thought I would be so excited to watch anything related to an old ford ranger but by god am I happy you guys are doing it. This is some class act content. Can’t wait for the next episode. I hope you compile the whole build series into a big video at the end.
i think you need to install a handle or something for the passenger to hold onto, and maybe some better harnesses. Also, there's a sport in northern europe where they send high powered trucks across the surface of deep water like a water bug or something.
Those yellow dots on the new tires are the factory balance point. The manufacturer puts it there so you can line the yellow dot up with the valve stem, since it's the heaviest spot on the rim. Makes for an easier balance job with less weight.
