Hey Guys,
So with the new year upon us, I have decided 2012 is the year to revamp/spoil the heck out of my truck! Gives me something to do, and it makes for some pretty fun weekends. Through this I am going to tell y'all the basics, if I am Missing something, or I should do something else with it (such as different fluids/parts/etc) please suggest, this is an open discussion, all recommendations are in fact welcome, and all will be taken in consideration!
The Vehicle in Question is my very own 2005 Ford Ranger Single Cab XL 2.3l 4cyl automatic.
Miles: 126,585
Fluids ---
This is where I explain the fluids I am going to replace, and my first decision on what will replace them, Suggest anything different and It will be taken into consideration.
---Oil
OUT- 4QTs PEAK 5w30 Conventional w/ Purolator Classic
IN- 4QTS PEAK 5w20 Synthetic w/Purolator Classic
---Antifreeze
OUT- Motorcraft OEM
IN- PEAK Longlife
---TFluid
OUT- OEM Motorcraft
IN- ???
---WashFluid
OUT- Water. LOL
IN- Rain-X Bug Remover
I will run a bottle of SEAFOAM through the Gaslines/tanks to take care of injectors, etc.
Anything Else I forgot, Brake Fluid, etc, please Suggest.
Parts/Filters---
---Air

COSMETICS---
Touch Up Bed Liner/ Rollon new layer
add Plastic Rail Covers for the Sides and Tailgate
"Side Bar Rail Bars" for the bed
Hood Deflector
Replace Windshield (Cracks in spots)
Replace Seat Covers/Floormats/etc.
Wipe down everything under hood (What to clean the plastic and metal with under the hood?)
Figure there is alot to do, might take me a while to finish and gather up supplies/etc but It will be done as the Late Great Johnny Cash said "One Piece at a Time"
Though this will cost me a pretty good dime! LOL
Any suggestions feel free, as long as they dont involve FRAM Oil Filters, we are good!
