| Answer to: 2001 Ford Ranger | 20Relevance | 4 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What engine and drivetrain? 4×4, 2x4? Automatic or manual? Shocks and leaf springs aren't bad on the old Rangers. The entire rear end needs lifted off the ground to change the leaf springs. Jack it up and put stands under the frame, NOT the axle. The radiator and condenser are only held in by a few bolts. The taking the radiator completely out will make the condenser easy peasy. I did a condenser job on my '99 Ranger 2 years ago without removing the radiator. It was easy. | |||||

| Check to see if there and blocks between the rear leaf springs and the axle. If they are there, you have a lift kit. Normally, the blocks can just be removed from the rear and the axle and spring bolted back together. Most lift kits for trucks with front leaf springs use new arched springs that would have to be replaced with the stock ones. You may also have to reinstall the stock steering arm if that was replaced with and offset one. | |||||

| ... needed only 735 watts." So, the Tesla model 3 needs just 135 watts more than my car - cool to know. At that rate, the Model 3 can run it's heating for 78.6 hours. (heat pumps are standard equipment in 2023 on almost anything) I hope this is settled. Now onto your claims and to clear up some misconceptions: "Even up to 5+ kW if the vehicle is starting off very cold and the battery needs to be warmed up by a resistive heater" (source) The key here is electric resistance heater - that's not a thing anymore. The 4,800W figure for heating on the ... | |||||
| Answer to: Can we trust Teslas? | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | Mod_Man | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I'll be honest. I tend to like a flashier car, and if I were to own an EV today it would be a Tesla. That said, I'm not an Elon fan and no, I don't trust Tesla. I don't trust ANY automaker to be honest and always go in with my guard up. If you want a reliable EV, the leaf is likely the best bet. But for people like me who like a sleek design and a lot of power, the leaf is not an option. | |||||
| Answer to: 64 galaxie 500 | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | Drewsky88 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Aside from getting new leaf springs that are designed to raise the rear end, the cheap way to do it is to get 2 inch steel blocks to go between the axle and the leaf springs and you'll need longer u-bolts to accommodate them. Air shocks would work but would require much more work and would need and air compressor installed in the car, so it'd be more expensive too. | |||||

| Scotty, I have a 64 Ford Galaxie 500 352 engine hard top. She had some serious rear ended sag so I just put new leaf springs in. I installed leaf springs for a convertible on the advise of a friend, because convertibles are a bit Heavier. The car sits level now but I am old school and I want it to have a bit of a rake. I want the rear up another 2 inches. I want to do it on the cheep. Can you suggest something? Is there a air shock out there that will do the trick? | |||||

| Blocks may be the way to go, they affect the ride of your vehicle the least. Adding a leaf would make it ride rough as hell. I would not recommend adding a leaf. Usually you would use a shackle to drop your truck. | |||||

| Hey Scotty and/or Mods I have a 2008 GMC Canyon 2WD and i was wanting to lift it about 2 to 3 inches I would consider to be used for medium duty so I pull a trailer every now and then but not a lot I was wondering what you thought my best option for the leaf springs would be, either Block lift, Shackle lift or Add a leaf and would i need longer shocks for this height? I know each have their Pros and Cons but I am unsure of what my best plan of action would be. P.S. This seems like a great topic for a video | |||||

| ... of years now, and yet it's still a questionable design. Toyota brags about small pulleys and bearings inside of that CVT, but to me it just seems like they've heaped out. Personally I was interested in that car, and test drove one : it's sporty and nice to drive, seats are great, I loved the profile of the tires (on the 205/65R16) - 5.2" (13cm) of sidewall just cushioning everything, not thin tires like so many other modern cars. BUT, the engine and transmission, don't sound bad - but they are very loud, the infotainment system is crappy and I just think i ... | |||||
| Answer to: Nissan Transmission Failure (what else is new) | 20Relevance | 12 months ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Even if your transmission were to break down 0.1 mile past the warranty period, they don't care. Unfortunately, if nissan tried to care, they would be trying to source anything other than those notoriously bad Jatco FWD transmissions and CVTs to be put into newer Rogues -which hasn't happened. nissan doesn't care. Those transmissions have been in there since the Rogue's launch in 2007. Ever since Renault took over nissan 25 years ago, quality has been in perpetual decline. nissan is also basically bankrupt, Honda considered buying nissan a few months ago ... | |||||
| 2018 Nissan Titan Pro-4X. reliability? | 20Relevance | 2 years ago | Ahmad Tarik | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, I am in the market for a full-size truck. My preferred choice is the Toyota Tundra, but it is beyond my budget due to its high price. I'm deciding between the Ford F-150 and nissan Titan. I found a clean 2018 nissan Titan Pro-4X with 62,000 miles in great condition both inside and out. I watched videos where Scotty advises against buying nissan due to electrical problems, oil leaks, and other issues. However, I researched further and found that these problems were mostly with models from 2015 and earlier. It appears that nissan addressed these issues aft ... | |||||
| Answer to: New Nissan versa with a manual transmission | 18Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I was all excited to check out a friends brand new nissan Rogue. I thought that maybe nissan was turning a new leaf (no pun intended). I asked to open the hood. Took a pick. Everything looked nice and new. Then I went to close the hood. And the latch, wouldn't latch. It just hung open. We tried for like 10 minutes. Had to play with the latch to actually get it to latch. If the hood can't latch on a brand spanking new car, it makes me question what else is wrong with the car. | |||||
