Nice run, Kevin. I'm sure you already know, but one thing we did on similar tires to be a tad more stable in corener but more importantly last longer without chuncking was to have the new tires heat cycled when purchasing and then shave them down to 4/32 with a tire truer lathe. We ran high banked asphalt ovals and made a huge difference on tire life and reducing heat in tire. Helped eliminate the tall tread from walking. Saved alot of money on tires. Run them till they finally blister on outer edge and flip on rim to use the other edge. Respect
I always wondered if there was such a thing as a tire lathe. It makes so much sense to have tires mounted and then tried up because they are never perfect when first mounted.
Just a thought with your cooling pack … space the bottom of the oil cooler out and put a small air dam to get fresher air directly to the rad. That way you can keep the big cooler out front and get some good air to the rad 🤷♂️.
You know, there are some really funny things that can be said with a voice over. You got some of it. I wouldn`t do it to someone else`s vid without their ok though.Sticky wicket.
Mr. Smith, I see Misha Cheroudin is coming to the USA to race in the Freedom 500. I would love to see you Misha, Travis and Tanner on a road course 😊. That would be epic. And great video as always. ❤
Great to see the rangers races I had 85 ranger greatest truck in snow Twin cities I plowed out my garage Halloween storm 6 foot snow drift Last year 125 inches snow this year 5 or 6 inches 50 degrees. My car little turb 3 cylinders but some how 180 some hp. Good luck on 300000 subscribers
The same two engines were available for several years in the Explorer. The one is L head (cam in block) and the other is a single overhead cam (one per head). Factory says something like 45 HP more in the SOHC engine, but you have to pay someone to pull the engine if your timing chain tensioner fails. That's why my son sold his.
Hi Kevin... Sorry I can't add to your subscriber count since I'm already subbed. I send likes on every video, least I can do for the enjoyment you send our way. Much thanks for you for that.
So in ranger land its the same as the 4.3 land. Distinct difference between years. Going from tbi non Ballance shaft motor, to roller cam ballance shaft motor.
if you have all four tires the same size you could change the left rear to the left front and vice versa , there should be a little more meat on the treads could do the right rear to left front but that would reverse the rotation of the tire and though not proven i think the tire looses grip and possibly delaminates from the reversal in forces (braking and cornering mostly )
Awesome video as always! I too was not good with a truck racing with flashing lights, I no it's supposed to be for fun really don't care if it was a cop or a wannabe cop. Real racers Will see flashing lights and think maybe caution, maybe something they need to look at in the future, at least flashing light truck really didn't do sh!t, maybe his only chance!
I'm really surprised no one is using one of the new rangers. That 4 banger with the turbo is putting out 265(ish) horse and almost 300 ft lbs of torque. Maybe there is a rule on what ranger you can use??? Anyway, I really wish I could get in on this ranger racing, looks like a really good time!!
Unfortunately you didn't modify the trucks good enough to beat JH. JH crushed everyone after doing his mods to this Ranger. What must hurt too was that you told JH what tyres to run to go faster lol, ouch, you gave away too much secret information, don't do that again.
He wasn't hurt, he's said (several times) that he wants more racers going faster and it was Slow Rollers that messed up his chance to catch JH (if they were faster he would've only had to pass them once)...
9:14 11:38 12:33 Kevin did you find another friend? I hope so, you deserve someone great.
Good eye
I hope so. He’s a good guy just like a lot of us that don’t even bother with women anymore. You could tell how much the last one hurt him
Cmon guys, you’ll give complete morons 10 million subscribers but can’t get this awesome dude to 300k?! Let’s go KSR!
Wait, whut? I don't have 10 million subscribers ?!?
@@oldanslo me either 😂
Dweeb weasels playing video games Whats up with that ?
70 more to go!!!
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication you got it man! I’ve been checking in all day to see if it hit yet. So close!!

Come on people, let’s get Kevin above 300k, he absolutely deserves it.
Can’t wait for you to trailer that helicopter back to gainesville Kevin ! Let’s gooooo
cleetus will fly it up for him land it on the rood of the shop.
Come on 300! UA-cam unlock the algorithm for this man.
Just a thought with your cooling pack … space the bottom of the oil cooler out and put a small air dam to get fresher air directly to the rad. That way you can keep the big cooler out front and get some good air to the rad 🤷♂️.
Cletus said"You can't beat them, join them!"
- I'm guessing we're going to get one hell of a burnout for the 300K celebration!!
Did you see Clay whooped up on Cleeter and Ruby? What an experience for him and the crew! Im glad all you guys are friends!!
Surprised he didn't suck the passenger door of ruby as he went by.
No but I did notice how Brett whipped up on the Cleeter Clan
WOW 300k! Well earned Kevin! Great to be a spectator on my end in southern illinois! You’re gonna keep on growing! Party on! 👊🙏
4.0l was ohv and sohc

Figured i was watching a foreign film with the voice over lol
Thought the same thing
😂 Bruce lee af 😂
Kevin missed his chance to make himself sound like a samurai.
Next time!!!! Lol
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication Les Reingouers Dangerous ?
Racing is fun ! I raced at a private dirt track we called it the Barnyard in Chepatchet RI run what you brung I brought a 300zx but DNF breakdown
my dude kevin starting out 24 strong with the uploads
I think Kevin loves doing voice-overs!! 😝 Love the info sharing to make everyone faster! Drag racing should be lit this weeekend!! Have fun!
Congratulations on the 300k Kevin
"Go from spin to win" - Love it!!
Ima take y’all to gapplebees in October!
Oooooohhh, you race…?????? ;)
The "well hello everybody " at the beginning of the videos just feels right.
already watched this video, checked back to see if Kevin made 300k subscribers..... congrats Kevin! always look forward to your stuff.
Mr. Smith,
I see Misha Cheroudin is coming to the USA to race in the Freedom 500.
I would love to see you Misha, Travis and Tanner on a road course 😊.
That would be epic.
And great video as always. ❤
Thanks for all the help boss man! Don’t worry, I’ll get faster eventually (just like when I was faster than you in go karting) 😂
Kevin,Cleetus, and JH, y'all rock! You almost caught him if it wasn't for that lapped traffic. Great race Kevin. Peace
Pretty darn cool helping out your competition. That makes for great competition.
Wow I thought the sick week save would get kevin over 300k subscribers for sure.
Great video Kevin thank you for sharing😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Ducting for the heat issue, you don’t need to fab up metal just some tape will do
Great to see the rangers races I had 85 ranger greatest truck in snow
Twin cities I plowed out my garage Halloween storm 6 foot snow drift
Last year 125 inches snow this year 5 or 6 inches 50 degrees.
My car little turb 3 cylinders but some how 180 some hp. Good luck on 300000 subscribers
big ups Kevin!

Now please get them to cage the top car on those stacker deals before someone gets really hurt, or worse.
When Garret and James looked at one they still had metal pieces sticking out from the doors.
@@finscreenname When they did the very first vid showing them, Cleet's head was partially out the back window with nothing above it.
I agree 100%, those things were flying too!!
I’m always up for doing dumb sh!t in dumb stuff and them things raise some questions for me even
Thanks Kevin!
Congratulations on 300K. You deserve it. I love your channel, and I'm not even into car racing, or fixing. I'm a guitar guy.
Congrats on 300K!! well deserved
Damn Kevin it's about time you loosen up a little had some fun😊😮
I have a 95 explorer. 4 litre 160 HP and 210? torque , so yeah for the older Gen Ford's with that engine, you are correct
I like the Mr. Sam spray wax in the trailer door!
Great video! Kevin out here helping everyone around him! Love all the KSR content. ♥️🇺🇲
Fantastic work as always.
KSR FTW
Clay out there slummin.😂
Congrats on the 3ook sub's Kevin. Hasn't taken you long to get here now it will start rolling over if you put the work in mate Good Luck all the best.
Well done sir, life threw you lemons you still made a great intro!
Dang! Tire consultant on the top truck, built and raced 2nd place and upgraded 3rd place! KSR is awesome!
congratulations on hitting 300k, it's been quite the journey
Thanks for the coverage that looks like so much fun. Wait until you’re all closer in HP I don’t think it will be caution free at that point.
Kev throw an extra quart or 2 of oil in it, the oil may be running away from the pickup or something with the G forces. =)
You're at 300.000! Congrats man!
Hi Kevin... Sorry I can't add to your subscriber count since I'm already subbed. I send likes on every video, least I can do for the enjoyment you send our way. Much thanks for you for that.
Thanks for that!
I thought the video was out of sync with the audio at first. 😆That was a cool race!
So in ranger land its the same as the 4.3 land. Distinct difference between years. Going from tbi non Ballance shaft motor, to roller cam ballance shaft motor.
Great video… you are clearly a mechanical wizard guru… a master
Woohooo 300k. Keep up the great stuff. Love watching and learning.
JH out there wheelin it. I expect good racing out of you and Cleet, but it's cool to see JH doing well on those trucks too.
13:27 “I’m your Huckleberry”
if you have all four tires the same size you could change the left rear to the left front and vice versa , there should be a little more meat on the treads
could do the right rear to left front but that would reverse the rotation of the tire and though not proven i think the tire looses grip and possibly delaminates from the reversal in forces (braking and cornering mostly )
We just might run different tires on the right and left side ;)
You and Clay on a drag-n-drive would be great. Team Positivity lol
We need more ksr x cleeter vids kev, from one kevin to another 😂
Hey guys and girls let help Kevin get to 300k on his channel! If you haven't subscribed please do!!!!
Thanks Kevin
HEY!!!! 300,000 SUBS WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the voiceover on this one. 😎
thanks kevin Well done
Consider a voice recorder as a backup. I know it would be a hassle but could come in handy.
Interesting that 3 guys started in last, finished in top 3
Was about to kick off at the sync between the surround sound and tv there 😂😂
I thought the voiceover was pretty humorous. Congrats on 300k.
Congrats on the 300k!!! KSR for the win!
Congrats on 300K! You deserve so much more but it's a start.
300K WOOOO. Congrats Kevin and KSR :)
Watching your video with voice-over had me waiting for Godzilla to appear. Oh no, there goes Kokomo go go KSR.
The voice and lips matched up great!🤣🤣
Congratulations on 300k+!
Congrats on 300k.
Nice run, almost got it! I see you are over 300k now. Congrats!!!
21:34 you might be the only one in the field that could have pulled that off without even losing a spot
Kevin, you’re a driver bud! Enjoy all the content! Congratulations on 300k!
Congrats on 300k KSR!!!
I really liked the voiceover!! Not sure if anyone ever told yah Kevin but you are one hell of a driver! 😅
You made it to 300k. Congrats. Now 1/2 a million.
Crazy to think that this is the same truck that Derek rolled in the very first Ranger race.
And just like that the ranger race is not for the average guy anymore. Took less than 2 years but that’s racing
You reached 300k! Congrats!
Come on people go subscribe we're so damn close!!
Cool video Kevin keep it up!!!
Thanks! Will do!

Congrats on the 300k subs...you deserve it mate.
The lapped guys need to get the heck out of the way! I wanted to see you and JH go at it
Lapped traffic is always a part of these races
Nice job Kevin!!! I see 300K suns watching late night
Congrats on your 300k subs. Hoping to catch you at the OG DragWeek sometime... :)
Really hope you kick over 300k!!
You deserve it!
Thanks a ton!
I like Eddie's truck vs Cleets truck. Rematch of Bristol when all the trash talk went down! Haha
YAAAHOOOOOO YOU MADE 300K MY BROTHER!!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 your awesome Kevin. I have been a sub for along time !
I'm really surprised no one is using one of the new rangers. That 4 banger with the turbo is putting out 265(ish) horse and almost 300 ft lbs of torque. Maybe there is a rule on what ranger you can use??? Anyway, I really wish I could get in on this ranger racing, looks like a really good time!!
I would start experimenting with different intake manifolds on the dyno on the sohc 4.0 find some more power
they are supposed to be stock from intake to exhaust. But can be tuned.
@@jessewaldman5685 there is different stock intakes for different vehicles with the same engine perfectly rule legal
Come on 300,000
300 k fantastic Kevin, you certainly deserve more and hopefully soon 👍👍👍
Was that the new bride @ 5 min mark’ish 👍👍👍
Unfortunately you didn't modify the trucks good enough to beat JH. JH crushed everyone after doing his mods to this Ranger. What must hurt too was that you told JH what tyres to run to go faster lol, ouch, you gave away too much secret information, don't do that again.

I welcome the competition!! If I hadn’t screwed up that pass on the batch of lapped trucks, we would have had a great battle!!
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication Yeah I know, I was just teasin ya Kevin.
Mark
Great content thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Kevin's truck is "cheated up". 😂
They are getting further and further "stock Rangers" that's for sure.
Stock from inlet manifold to exhaust manifold is the rule. Rules are meant to be bent.
@@lastactionhero7245and I'm going to guess that JH bent them 😂😂
