Hi folks, One of my tires lost its tread today, and I was quite fortunate to make it home (about 5 miles) without experiencing a complete deflation of the ...

I had to replace my bald Tiger Paws after 30,000+ miles, but could find only some Uniroyal Laredo 235/75 R15s that were rated at 1,985 lbs each to carry the...
The figure Ray mentions (20%) sounds too large to be due to tires alone, but there are references that suggest it's possible. Greenseal.org published a paper...
Hi People! First, I should introduce myself. This is Howard in the near west suburbs of Chicago. I bought the green 98 Ranger Pb from Qxotic Dan about 4...
Last year I took a poll of Ford Ranger EV owners to see if there's enough interest (only 12 responses) to develop a tool to see how the Ranger EV is...
Thanks for the info. I am still pretty sure my range has significantly dropped due to the tires, as I have been driving the Ranger the same route to work and...
Hello Ed Have you had any feed back on the shared NGS tester? I have a NGS tester and software already. So I do not need the use of the tool but I would like...
Hello Calfironia Ranger-EV Drivers, I'm cross-posting a message that recently appeared on the EVChargerNews mailing list. Since many of us Ranger drivers make...
Ben, Thanks very much for doing this. I hope it garners some more contributions. We sure need them! And we are committed to supporting Avcon charging...
Hey guys, This scanner is advertised to specifically include 1998 - 2002 Ford Ranger EV. I have the NGS and Ranger EV card. Would this product give me more...
This is extremely interesting, a whole lot cheaper then a NGS tester, If anyone has tried it let us know what it actually does ! thanks for showing this John...
If it works it is a bargain. Is anyone going to contact them? Seems odd that this would be worth making for at the very most a few hundred sales. The ...
I just purchased one to see if it works. They said it can be returned if there is a problem. The salesperson verified that EV did mean Electric Vehicle....
I have this tool, and out of the box, it does NOT talk to the Ranger. I have a call in to technical support, and they have not returned my call. I called...
I had ordered a replacement water pump from MetricMind a while back "just in case". I decided that I would just replace it now rather then waiting for the ...
Sorry to be sending this to the whole group. I am trying to get off this list but having trouble. I removed myself from the Yahoo list, so I think the...
Hello fellow Ranger drivers, It has taken me a little longer than I expected, but I'm finally getting around to writing a follow-up report on my new tire...
Ben, Thanks for the update. I think you might find the difference in tire pressure to be that 7%. Too bad you can't go to the 50psi like in the Continental...

Well I finally got to talk to the technician about the tester, and he pretty much verified that it won't work for the Ranger EV, and he had never heard of...
I broke off the plastic charging port cover flap on my 2000 Ranger EV in the local Costco parking lot. A clean break, on the flap end of the curved pivot...
Sorry to hear you broke it off, I replaced one last year on one of the ones I bought off ebay, same thing broke off clean, Ford has them still available, you...
Hi Ray, Sorry to hear about the flap. If you can't find another at a reasonable price there are 2 options to fix it. The first would involve solvent welding...
Thanks, Lan. Do you happen to have a part number? South City Ford elliminated their EV repair department last year in a re-organization, and the EV folks are...
Also try superglue GEL -- It has some filler gel which really help holding things together. ________________________________ From: ranger-ev@yahoogroups.com...
Ray, It is also possible to create a new part by molding and casting from the pieces of the old part. The hardest part would be matching the original material...
Thanks for the suggestions; since I have neither discretionary funds nor excessive pride, I think I am going to go the Gorilla Glue route (it has worked for me...
Sorry to hear about your flap issue. In as much as this is not the first incident involving a broken flap would you mind taking a picture of the broken parts?...
