right on, i cant imagine how difficult this would be if you had to go through the floor of the bed somehow to get to these. It was still a big of a pain but totally doable. Cheers.

Not on the US version… pretty crazy cuz it does overseas

@@flaberdoopin thanks for the reply !

Hey, thanks for the follow up. No issues whatsoever and i did take a 12 hour road trip where i had the windows down and the stereo blasting the whole time so it was put to the test. there have been no faults or electronics issues with the truck. The signal out of the factory sub is pretty much being left as an open circuit. the aftermarket powered sub isn't adding power to that signal, it is simply reading the signal across a massive amount of resistance and using that as the input for it's internal amplifier (at least that is how i understand it as a systems engineer). I do get what you are saying about the electronics in these vehicles being very sensitive but my setup has seen zero ill effects from the stereo modifications i have made. Hope this helps.

right on... I dont know what the appearance package is but i'm heading to the ford site to check it our right now. sounds like an awesome truck for sure!

I was just thinking about this the other day actually. it has worked flawlessly since install. I almost forgot i put it in the truck because it requires no input or updates or thought process, it just works! one of the best things i did and i'm glad i put it in so early in owning the truck! Cheers.

haha, well now i need to look up who Tim Cindric is... he sounds AMAZING :).

i just watched an interview about Tim and his career... what am impressive dude.

Thanks. My daughter drew it

​@@flaberdoopin And I though you were a fellow Ranger Raptor enthusiast Weaboo 😂

haha, i am, i just can draw to save my life. I did buy the Naruto Montblanc fountain pen when it came out.

@@flaberdoopin naruto and montblanc aren't the words I'd ever imagine to come across in one sentence. Wonder if those are still available

yeah, i was super surprised that Montblanc did a Naruto pen as well. I actually bought the fountain pen and the roller ball along with the pen case. I have been collecting pens since college and this was a fun one to add to the pen box

Me too

@@Averymoore325 totally epic… and I’m not your brah!

That’s crazy that so many shops refuse to do the evacuation. Glad you were able to get your van AC working again. I’m sure you will be fine with the Amazon part. Cheers

Right on! Glad I’m not the only one

That looks cool. The 4 lights is growing on me but the three is always a classic

@@flaberdoopin I linked all 3 of mine together (3 reds, 3 blacks, then put one lead off of each one so I have one ground wire and one power wire. Removing the grille and bumper were super easy and probably would have made your job a little easier than you think.

So many differences. I’d trade all the Us stuff for the rear AC vents and painted driveshafts for sure though

You and me both!

I knew that thing had to be giving bad readings… I didn’t realize there was a difference but that makes a lot of sense. The AC is still blowing cold air so that was certainly the problem and I’m glad this video is useful for more than just the Sienna! Cheers

Great information and I appreciate the comment. I ended up putting a small kicker key amp in that made a big difference, I’ll have to do some more research based on your comments though as you seem to know a lot about this stuff. Thanks again, much appreciated

I like laying flat, being at an angle is nice for a while but my knees always end up hurting after a while when I am at an angle like that.

Thanks for the comment. It is pretty awesome. Sorry to hear you all have to deal with T1D as well but technology has come a long way! My oldest two were both diagnosed around their 9th birthday, the youngest is still in the clear and has perfect A1C numbers so we are hoping she is able to steer clear! Cheers

Yeah my son was diagnosed at 7 and he is now 21. Uses the tslim pump and Dexcom and yeah the tech really helps. Also can you take your overland tent setup off or does that rack always have to stay. I don’t think I would want it all the time. I am thinking about the bed tent you tried.

@@chrisdrinerI take the tent off and keep it in the garage when not camping season but keep the rack on… that said, the rack is super easy to take off, just 8 bolts and it’s done. If you want the tent I have I can send it to you… we aren’t going to need it anymore

@@flaberdoopin that’s nice of you to offer, did you have a price in mind

Just cover shipping, unless you are close to DC and you want to pick it up

Thanks! We are having a ton of fun with it

hell yeah! that's what i'm talking about.

Thanks so much for the comment! Driving into the city with the Ranger is no issue at all, i mean i see delivery trucks everywhere so a bigger vehicle is obviously doable but just cumbersome and i do not like to be the person holding up traffic to make a turn or get into a parking spot. i live by the 'if everyone did it would it still work' philosophy and it would be chaos if everyone drove a full size truck in the city! And yeah, just gotta roll with the punches, no vehicle is going to be perfect, if you look hard enough you will always find faults, just gotta choose your battles, right?

awesome. i have the 105's on my Bamboo Hadean and some Cloudwheel rovers on my Carbon... love the 105's on the bamboo, i may throw them on my Onirique for a bit and see how i like it. what pullies are you using for them?

@@flaberdoopin A few years ago you could select wheels and pulleys when buying from Evolve but no longer.I have tons of pulleys and belts from Evolve so we will see..

I never too my Explorer ST off roading so I don’t know how much fun it would have been on this trail, I’m guessing not very well. On a normal road the Explorer was nicer, but the M3 and RS were better than the Explorer there as well. I think the Explorer was one of the most comfortable vehicles I have had and it was a blast on a nice smooth twisty road but I love the versatility of the ranger raptor

@@flaberdoopin I too have never taken my Explorer ST off-road and probably never will. The Explorer is for speed and comfort. Once I start to drive my Ranger Raptor I'll be able to see what the hype is about, as I'm already having buyers remorse by trading in my 2021 F-150 Lariat. I have to get used to driving a mid sized truck, as my F-150 was lifted 6-inches and rode on 35's. Like you, I commute to DC for work as well. Hopefully I'll get more than the 11 MPG I was getting with the F-150.

@@DalHarpJr if you expecting the same performance out of the Ranger that you are getting from your explorer, you are going to sorely disapointed. It has a LOT more unsprung weight and much more rotational mass in the drive train. If you aren't going to take it offroad i think it isn't worth it coming from the explorer ST, but if you want to get out on the trails and fire roads, it is the best option out there if you also want a bit of performance.

@@flaberdoopin Although the drivetrain in the Ranger Raptor is the same as in the Explorer ST, I'm not looking for the same level of performance as they're two different type of vehicles. I'm definitely going to take the Ranger off-road. Nothing too crazy, as its built for that purpose. I still have the Explorer, so they'll compliment each other in different ways. The Ranger is most definitely quicker than the F-150, even though the F-150 was up a half liter and 50HP. I'm not knocking the the Ranger Raptor at all. I just haven't driven it since I brought it home. Monday I get my 2-inch leveling kit installed. After that I will install my new wheels and get an alignment. Then I'll be ready to experience what it has to offer!

Haha, thanks for the comment! Hope you are able to get them installed quicker than I did

Are we talking tin foil or aluminum? Do they even make tin foil anymore?

I ended up doing sound deadener in the roof (removed headliner) and all 4 doors. made a HUGE difference... then i replaced the stock sub, all the door speakers and and upgraded little amplifier with DSP.

@flaberdoopin good one. I ended up doing all doors plus back wall of truck. I haven't done roof though. I ended up with custom made box behind seat. Hertz shallow mount 10' with Helix M One amp.

I’ll bet that sounds good but probably over powers the kids and lows from the factory stereo

@flaberdoopin not at all. You can adjust the power on the amp. I like my house music, so plenty of bass for my liking. I don't carry people on back seat much as my kids are grown up.

wow, this comment made my day. Thank you for taking the time to post a comment on this video. Sorry i didn't go into detail on the oil addition. i was having a bit of a tough time trying to get it loaded into the hose until i just poked a small hold in the seal of the oil and pushed it against the hose end and just forced it in there with the other side detached and it turned out i didn't have the camera on at the time. When i went to purge the hose once i had the R134A on it i ended up spraying a good bit of the oil all over the engine bay of the van haha. I totally should have put that in the video but i was embarrassed so i left it out but now that i have thought about it, my mistakes can help people in the future so i should have put it in as a "what not to do" type of thing. Cheers and i hope you have a great one!

@@flaberdoopin Always happy to acknowledge those folks who so graciously help others. Keep safe

Fantastic information, thank you so much for the comment, it helps me and anyone else who watches this and comes here for similar AC problems! Cheers.

There is a frame rail that runes across side to side directly behind the transmission, that’s what I mounted it on with some super 3m Velcro that I use in my windshield to hold my toll transmitter in the dash and handles the heat well. Had it there for about a month now with no issues.

The 10 will fit, I have heard from quite a few people who have already installed it and they said it fits really well

Haha, yeah… I had a little bit of an issue and of course I was videoing it haha. Oh well, I could have edited it out but whatever, we all goof up sometimes, am I right?

No, no issues with the front camera, the only thing that requires calibration when removed is the forward radar for the adaptive cruise control as far as I know.

Gracias!

Www.Indicarbon.com

I don’t think that is available from ford. I loved that on my Tacoma! There are probably some aftermarket options but I haven’t seen it yet

Thank you for letting me know. Hopefully ford will jump in on a track system.

Hahaha, good choice for you but be sure to check whatever car you get because a lot of them have it now. BMW, VW, Audi, ford and many others use plastic oil pans and NO company will thread a metal drain plug into a plastic pan because you never put a harder ‘thingy’ as you called it, into a softer material because of the risk of stripping the threads. Cheers

@@flaberdoopin been steel pans and steels sump plugs for 200 years--- no need for this cheap shit now

@@thelonewolf666hahaha, 200 years of tradition unhindered by progress… I love your thought process

@@thelonewolf666 hahaha, 200 years of tradition unhindered by progress! I love the "but it is how it's always been" argument and i find myself using it a lot as well.

I’ll check it out tonight for sure. If they don’t send some sort of support out past the hood brackets I’d be worried about the same thing I was having issues with but it may have softer struts that don’t take as much force to put down, that won’t help if the wind grabs it while it’s up and snaps it back though… worse case you get to buy an awesome aftermarket carbon fiber hood or something if it messes up the stock one

yeah, if you are looking for a ranger raptor, it isn't for the mileage, that's for sure! not sure what else out there has performance of the RR and the range you are looking for in stock form.

when you remote start, the Aux switches are powered so if you have them switched on when you remote start it, they will energize and turn on the accessories or lights you have hooked up before you ever get in the truck to hit the start button to let it know you are in there and ready to drive.

@@flaberdoopin Thank you so much!! ☺️ That’s exactly what I wanted to know 🙂

Good deal!

There are 3 memory buttons on the driver seat

@@flaberdoopin I am not talking about the 3 manual adjustment buttons on the driver seat. Memory seating is automatic one button push to adjust the seat to an exact position. Look up car or truck memory seating on UA-cam.

@@aceforcejointcombatgameout7731 I’m not talking about those adjustment buttons down on the side of the seat either…. I am talking about the numbered buttons up by the door locks that store a seat position in memory and let you set 3 different drivers seating preferences and move the seat there with the press of a single button. I may not know much about cars and trucks but i know what a memory seat is. The ranger raptor has 3 of them. Navy always has to explain how things work to the Air Force haha. Just playing around, i trained with the Air Force back in 2005 at Vance AFB in Enid Oklahoma, some of the most fun flying out there in the mighty tweet.

Oh, maybe it was the torque that was mid 300s. Either way I love my Ranger as well and wouldn’t trade it!

Haha, some awesome people gave it to me as a birthday present!

it's not good haha. when you are rolling down the highway at 75 you aren't even getting 19 mpg unless you are tucked in behind a big semi tractor trailer... if you are chilling at 55 you might bet 20-21 at best. I was actually pretty surprised at just how bad the mileage was on a 3L turbo charged truck, but it is just a big old speed brake rolling down the road with a lot of rotating mass and unsprung weight. for my 800 mile road trip on highways i didn't even get 18.5 average... oh well.

Yes, I added some oil with UV dye in it… I thought I put that in the video but I must have cut it out if you didn’t see that. Cheers

Nice! There are deals to be found for sure. Especially now that it has been around for 4+ months.

That is interesting and I may pull mine back off to see if I find anything like that. I didn’t notice anything while I was in there but I’m going to go take a look right now to see if I can see anything without taking it apart first

Thanks a lot for the comment and I’m glad the split short/long version worked out as planned haha. I thought the whole video would only be 15 min when I made the cards haha. I lived in Montgomery for a year and a half a while back. I loved Alabama! Cheers and enjoy the truck when you get it!
