The "What did you do to your Ranger today" thread
#5202
I played with the tires again today, I went down in revs and it brought it closer. When I got home I went down another 5 revs pre mils. Hopefully I'm still closer.
I'll also throw in the diff next time just to make sure they tuner didn't leave some other setting in there.

In the form for the tune I put that it had factory 3.73s. I guess I could manually put that in to make sure it's correct.

I can't remember now if my tune had either, the wrong ratio in it, the right ratio, but needed a 'wrong' ratio to read right, or defaulted to something equally as stupid.
Either way, i set either my diff again correctly, or told it that there was a different diff in there, and it went perfectly, annoying 'bug' but it worked.

Great info. I'll play with the rear diff info and see how far it makes everything, or if it makes it closer.
I think the tires are roughly 657 revs per mile. I have it on 650 or 645 now and it was a little closer. I adjusted it again when I last got home, down another 5 revs. We'll see if it's any closer. I was still about 3mph off at 45mph.
Who did your tunes? I wonder if they could have screwed something up when typing in parameters.
I had issues with email tunes in my Mustang. Even with several datalogs they couldn't get it right so I ended up with a dyno tune that helped a lot!

I finally checked my air pressure. Ds front 17, ps front 30, ds rear 32, ps rear 33. I bumped them all 35. I'm coming the truck up today, so I'll refill it tomorrow and check mileage.

As i said, mine was off, despite having the tune set it - i played with the revs/miles but it was never accurate at all speeds and was certainly not the right way/solution for the issue.

Weird how the axle ratio changed all that, especially since it was supposed to be tuned for 3.73 already.
Anyway, thanks for the help guys. I think between the axle ration and the tire revs I should have it hashed out in my trip.

I went online and looked at revs for my particular tire and size.
So my tune had a default setting for the rear diff that says something like "Axle ratio: Stock" I went into it and made it reflect 3.73. After driving down the street the speedo was actually reading a few mph lower than it should so I readjusted the tire revs to where it should be. Haven't driven it since then but I think I'll be golden now.

Nooo! My Ranger came from Canada. Luckily they sprayed that tar crap all over the underside so most of it is rust free. It does have some rust in certain areas though.
I've never lived in snow and I've only been in it a few times during my travels. It looks pretty but that's where my appreciation for it ends. I hate the cold! ! ! !

In Northern Ohio up here been getting steadily annoying bit of snow, just enough to slush the roads and have to snap the wipers to knock off the ice. Didn't do to bad for a days driving, just no fast acceleration, due to slippage, but found putting a heavy duty hydaulic jack over each wheel helps a lot and this way I don't have sand in the bed if the tubes break.
