I’m a Automotive technician that uses his spare time to make videos to help educate people on how to work on their own vehicles and to try and give them the confidence to give it a go themselves. Due to some requests I have started a patreon but don’t feel obligated to donate, but if you do please know I appreciate you and all that money will be spent improving the channel by maybe finally buying a camera.
Hi ! Thanks for your video. Sometimes I can hear motor vibrations in the speaker on the right side when I drive my Raptor. So I just would like to know why this happened and how to erase that noise...
It would be cool to install some chase lights at the cargo bed. I had two rigid chase lights installed at the top of my fashion bar so that whenever i’m loading stuff, I have enough light to see if I dropped anything. It works well also as an additional reverse light. It’s about the size of a twinkie bar and it has some backlight in it, had mine in amber!
I am working on a 1998 Ford Ranger. Do you put the sound deadening on the bottom on the inside the door or leave that alone for any water that may get in the door to drain out?
have you ever experienced that when you are on automatic mode light one turn off automatically ( only 1 of the 2 lights ) then switch in manual mode and turn on again....and then off...and switch to auto and turn on again.... ?? im goin crazy... this started after i replaced all the lights with LED osram and philips . thanks !
Hi great videos Hope you can help me I have a ford ranger raptor But the are some things I want to change first are the fog light bulbs is this possible or I’ll need to buy a hole new set up?
Hi mate. I bought these springs and just about to have them put in. BUT I’m seeing a lot of other guys are getting their shocks revalved. As it’s been 2yrs since you made this video, do you still think revalving isn’t necessary?
Id use dynamat for the floor because it’s thinner and won’t make it hard to refit the interior although depending on the vehicle they usually don’t require the floors to be done
I just finished doing this to my North American Ranger Lariat SuperCrew. I bought 36 square feet of Kilmat for $60 from Amazon and needed almost all of it. When I removed the plastic door panels, I disconnected the door handle and power window controls, but left the lock switch/fiber optic cables installed. There's no need to risk breaking the fiber optic by disconnecting it. You can swing the plastic panel out of the way and place it inside the cab without disconnecting those cables. I didn't need to remove the B&O speakers. There was zero sound deadening material inside my door panels unlike the Raptor in the video, front or back, just the foam glued to the outside. The only tools needed are a screwdriver with a T20 Torx bit, and a hooked metal pick to remove the panels inside the door handle.
Great video and it gave me the confidence to remove the back Super Cab door panels. It was pretty straighforward on my 2021 Ranger, but a few of the clips popped off and ended up on the ground. Just to check, do you think stuffing the cavities (no up/down windows) with sound deadening insultation would help/hurt? thanks again for this really thourough video and also thanks for the insights on the paper cones...I was aboiut to swap mine out for some plastic ones, but now I will end up keeping them. cheers!
I just did my front doors on my ranger 2018. I used your video as a referenc. Im amazed with the sound improvement and the outside noise cancellation. will definitely do the rear doors soon.
I have the 2021 px3 ford ranger xlt and the doors seem to have a very slight buzz when the system is turned up at about half way and the music has some bass. Metal and rock seems ok. But yeh a new vehicle you would not expect to have no buzz In the doors. The sounds seem to be coming from the top part of all 4 doors. Do you know what could be causing the buzz in this area? Also, what do you think of the Alpine r speakers kit that is specifically for the ranger? Are they worth it ?
Unfortunately life has been a bit hectic as of late. I would like to start making videos again but right now there is no time frame of when that will happen
Thank you for this! I just finished doing this to the my doors . I must say that sound quality has greatly improved! I got to do all 4 doors in 1hr 30mins.
Love the video. And was surprised to see the restriction in the pipe. So sizing it up a bit isn't a bad thing to do. Would you reckon that total air flow after turbo is better now? As likely the cat/DPF is what's restricting the most. Less flow resistance would mean less backpressure and better discharge of hot gasses. Which is another plus. Also glad to hear that sound levels hardly increased.
Great videos mate, i only recently discovered your channel when on the hunt for raptor related content. I've got a front A bar coming in the next few days, and whilst i won't be fitting a 42" bar this was still helpful!
