15:35 the beeping is the airbag module. You no longer have your airbag impact sensors on the front so it beeps 5x in a set of 5 every 45ish minutes to let you know the system has a fault. The module is in the passanger kick panel just unplug it and take it out. Should be a blue box. Will not hurt anything if you remove it. Ive owned five 96 rangers and all had that issue. Hope you see this and it helps.
MVP right here
Thanks for that
I thought it was because James’ hot pockets were done cooking 😂😂😂
Ya I need to stop mine felt like k was in my Ranger every time it beeped😂
dam, They didn't even reply. Thats crazy. you saved a bunch of us. Not all heroes wear capes
Nolan slowly panicking in the puddle while Jobe is laughing maniacally is awesome!
Literally stole one of the highest comments
Why did you do that?
Agree 😂
素晴らしいアイディアですね。とても良いvideo!

Nolan: it’s actually pretty smooth
two seconds later
Bounces rapidly
looks like they need to tune them shocks
@@JackSpeed That's what I was thinkin.
Proper seats and harnesses would solve a lot of that
That suspension is far from sorted. Hopefully they get them tuned up and working properly.
@@moto132tv I was definitely wondering why they went with leafs rather than a 4-link and coils. Especially cool would be coilovers with cantilevers but I wouldn't really expect that bit.
Yeah... I need you guys to focus 100% on this vehicle from now on! I just can't wait to see where this goes!
Bro you look like a Great Value Nolan

I’m so happy another “money pit” style series is here. The builds like hi low, money pit, and the one offs like James motor swap are my comfort vids
It's so damn good
I think a good hilow idea would be smth like cheapest way to hit 750 horses in a drag car.
Wonder when James will ever finish his Hachi..
Nolan: "the truck is really bouncing"
Justin: "Sooo are myyy boooobs!"
Lines had me rolling :D
i'm not sure if you guys realize it or not, but you are the show to replace Top Gear. You have the chemistry, charisma, and the outlandishness that made that show successful. I literally had one of those goofy smiles on my face after watching this. Your passion comes through and that is so enamoring and authentic. Been watching you guys for years and love the progress and direction it's going. It's also cool to hear my name in the show. :)
21:39 Put a couple turns on the rebound tube of the rear bypasses and pull a couple turns out of the lower compression tube- should help with the bucking.
You guys could do a full episode on shock tuning!
There will be more weight in the rear later to help with that
Yeah they need a pro to dial in those shocks. It was bucking way too much for that setup
Also looks like the tires maybe at highway pressures instead of aired down tbh. Takes a lot of the shock absorption as well to have the tire pressures right.
@@Bob-ir4lrthey should hit up Hi-desert Motorsports!
15:34 I used to have a 1998 Ranger. It used to beep five times and repeat five times. If thats what is happening in your Ranger, its because the airbag indicator light is burnt out. When the indicator is out, it beeps to alert you that the airbag is on. To stop the beeping, all you should have to do is replace the indicator light.
Thanks for all the smiles.
The microwave beeping is a great feature on the truck. 10/10 🔥
My dog did NOT like it 😂
Dino nuggies are ready boys!
@@stevenb891my dogs fine w beeping or any electronic noises but the moment a doorbell goes off in a movie he loses his shit
@@LUCKIPUPrelatable!!!
Don't think that's a truck noise. You can hear the "door open" tone during their test drive and it sounds way different. Probably a "low battery" alarm for a camera or some such.
Justin @ 15:05 playing with the sand and rocks. That's a true soldier right there

yup. @donut: fix the file corruption
Nolan is a fecking madman and he's definitely my favorite on the entire channel. He jumped this thing like his life depended on it but also said its so smooth as his heads slamming into the ceiling lol
One of the first videos in a while to genuinely make me laugh & smile, absolutely the content you guys keep it up !
I know it was sooo good
I know that truck, I aint no stranger. I know that truck, THATS A $%@$% FORD RANGER! 🎵🎤
Kinda makes me miss my ol' ranger.
😂 hey humble mechanic commenting on donut stuff!!! Bad ass my friend.
We're all hearing this in Charles' voice
At 6:50 drum brakes have a higher initial clamping force than comparably sized discs, but they overheat quickly. Rear drums are great for a daily driver because they wear more slowly than discs so they're overall low maintenance.
Also don't get fucked in the rust belt if you barely use your brakes. (Like in an EV)
@@rkan2 I live in the rust belt. My drums get fucked way faster. It isn't the shoes or the drum itself but rather the little linkages that rust solid.
Drums on the Tacoma were great. Everyone complained about them, but I bet they weren't complaining when their brake job only cost $150-$175 for only the front and maybe a single can of brake cleaner for the rear drum shoes. No idea what's on there now, but hopefully it's disc brakes for a $48k medium sized truck!
@@VTOffRoadAdventureslinkages COULD be made out of stainless steel, so in theory that is a solvable issue if not for penny pinching by the OEMs.
@@mattb9664that's probably be cause rear brakes wear at about a quarter of the rate of fronts, even less on pickup trucks that aren't loaded down, not because they were drums.
8:19 "pretty capable" 😂 Any vehicle I've ever bought for $500 has been able to take whatever I throw at it considering I have no sympathy for a $500 whip lol. Either way I'm glad you're doing the build and making the content!!

Jobe dying of laughter and Nolan afraid for the life of the truck is the funniest thing ever. Great content boys!
Im so happy Justin worked out
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO SERIES!!
I, literally, was at The Mint 400 this past weekend, as the fuel man, on a friend's, Sportsman Class Truck, and I was blown away!!!! I had tons of questions, and "EVERYBODY" was willing to talk to me and help me understand that event!! There were even a few classic trucks, running leaf springs!! So this video series is perfectly timed for me, because I am very curious as to what it takes to build such a truck, and hopefully, finish the race!!
19:35 "It's actually pretty smooth" then smacks the roof 😂
Prolly riding smooth but they need proper harnesses and seating to hold them down, cause gravity is a thing ya kno😂
I can notice big changes in Nolan’s confidence on camera, I feel like in this video he is much more present and detailed in everything he says. Love seeing the growth on the team. Thank you guys for making great content. Have fun!
BEST BUILD!!!.... so far.
Miata = what tuners dream (no to little issue)
High Low WRX = KNOWLEDGE on all that can go wrong but HOW to address.
Camping/Off-road trucks = the importance of every Series & doing EVERYTHING ALMOST Right.
Conclusion = Doing EVERYTHING RIGHT with expert help THE FIRST TIME. FAST & ALL TERRAIN.
I like the fact that even though Donut is making a lot of "Mainstream" videos, they also still make stuff that's more technical and interesting to enthusiasts. I'm a mechanical engineer, and I often cringe at misinformation on other car channels, but Donut is legit
2:55 Nolan practicing the cut twice measure once method
😂😂
12:22 there is a little bit of a corrupted files here, but great video overall, I love this series, you have a fan from France here!!
My absolute favorite thing about this show and the mini-series like these is how it's literally a get together of the boys, even as a viewer, and cheering them on and seeing how it'll turn out lol.
17:30 .. Same Justin Same 😂
Out of all the vehicles I've had, my '96 Ranger still holds the largest place in my heart. They're not fast, they're not powerful, but man are they fun.
the 4.0 has some decent power
@@pace5316 I had the 2.3 😊 Did end up with a '98 Exploder after that with the 4.0, which was basically just a ranger with a cap. Loved that vehicle too!
My 1994 makes me feel the same way
What is the most reliable engine though that’s in an older ranger?
@@user-xs5od7wo2d The 2.3 and 4.0 are both rock solid engines.
12:22 The video really "BRAKED" there . Love this old strapped with gold builds
So no one talking ab the-questionable-spider cameo in the back window @ 17:17?😂
Dude that was the drone not a spider 😂
It’s been a month. Can we get the next video now please?
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry’s and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
fo get about it cuzh
Honestly bruh this comment is getting old lol
“17seconds ago” never been this early to something in my life 😂
Hahahah ha ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
So, what you are saying is that you have never been on time for anything in your entire life.
Oof
17 seconds is average
17 minutes ago counts too right?😅
Those yellow dots on the new tires are the factory balance point. The manufacturer puts it there so you can line the yellow dot up with the valve stem, since it's the heaviest spot on the rim. Makes for an easier balance job with less weight.
6:10 There is a special lube meant for that specific application. Anti seize works in a pinch, but will not hold up to the weather and say a Car wash, the same as the specified lube will. Word of Advice. Use the proper stuff, You wont be replacing your calipers and rotors WITH your brake pads Every single time.
The truck is already looking awesome, suspension and tires made a huge difference.
Nolan doesn't give a f*** and just gives 'er the beans. Love it.
Loving where this is going. Off-road vehicles are so much more fun.
The transition at 12:22 went crazy, love from greece
Greek fans rise up!
@@anemoooooshereeee
What my father told me is that drum brakes are engaged by default and is disengaged to drive. It helps in emergency situations where if something fails the brakes engage by default and slow down the vehicle. On the other hand, disc breaks are disengaged by default and use the brake fluid pressure to engage while trying to slow down. If your disc breaks fail, you’re SOL as far as slowing down.
While what your father said was true, it's only true for air brake systems in larger vehicles like semi-trucks. Passenger cars use the same hydraulic force to apply pressure to the drums that disc brakes do. I imagine it's because air systems are a lot more complicated and heavy, even if technically safer.
Drum brake setups do weigh a bit less than rotor / caliper setups, and that is unsprung weight. If you weren't planning to drive the truck through a small pond (wet brakes) or stop after repeatedly jumping hills (heat fade), best to leave them on the rear.
Another great video for the ranger. Cant wait to see it all kitted out
Shock tuning is well needed when y’all are done. I have a jeep MJ on 14” ads coilovwrs in the front and 16” rear. 35s boosted 4.0 stroked to 4.6l. With proper shock tuning i can hit woops and it feels like i’m driving down a normal paved road.
My vehicle is stock. When driving down a normal road it feels like a normal road. I spent no money.
I think this has by far been the most entertaining series of Money Pit so far. Every episode is full of interesting upgrades, difficult challenges, and of course lots of laughs.
I put 35s on my 2000 ford ranger. Some performance ignition and a knn air filter and that little for banger has been ripping hard for 24 years now. I love my ranger
19:33 "Its actually really smooth!" As their heads are hitting the roof! 🤣
12:21 makes you think your internet or phone went wrong 😂
Fix the passenger air bag switch, that’s what that beeping is. As the light in the passenger air bag switch is broken, which sets off an air bag code. Same thing happens if you remove the air bags. Basically if the air bags are removed you have to put a resister in to trick the system into thinking the air bags are there.
Drum breaks are actually more efficient than disk breaks, they just aren’t good at getting rid of heat. If you have ever driven a car with 4 wheel drum brakes it is super easy to lock up the wheels. It is also why semi trucks come with drum breaks.
The anti-seize application at 6:04/5 timestamp with the blur sensor is all the little things that separate men from the boys in terms of texture, detail, comedic micro-moments during production and editing of these great videos. Thanks for always keeping the theatrical bar sky high.
That grey shit is crap and will dry out. You want to use copper anti-seize.
Regular anti-seize cannot withstand the heat of breaking systems. It will dry out and turn into like a dried paste. If you really want to do this step then I suggest the copper based kind like the guy above me says, but it is not really necessary. If you don’t want your breaks to squeal just make sure you get ceramic pads
Squealing brake pads are for people without WD40 😂
18:53 Love the Jeremy Clarkson-like "What a machine!" 👍VKeep up the good work guys
If you air down your tyres you will see a world of improvement. Since you have headlocks you can go as low as 4PSI. Try 15PSI first then play with it a bit until you find the sweet spot (rears lower than fronts)
19:49 Justin laughing like Seth Rogan 😂
12:20 theres a error donut 🍩
It's great that you guys put up what each part does! Helps the newbies out there.
6:05 Nolan casually dropping basic information that is brand new to me 😂
LMFAO! Cant believe it didnt die in puddle! Big points for not lifting and keeping momentum to make it out! Friggin epic
21:56 totally lifted
Needs a twin turbo coyote swap 🦅🦅
Also frame enforcement in the middle to connect front and rear, not to collapse in half on a hard woop, some suspension adjustment to achieve higher clearance at the front, will give better grip in turns,, front rebound 70%, rear 45%, fast valve front 65%, rear 40%, slow vlave front 80%, rear 60% and a bigger metal tank where you got the spears mounted and it should balance out the weight distribution better without having ass fly over the head on a series of woops
@1:17 We don't want them to brake.
Ehm yes you do ? 😂
The beeping 📣 is the passenger airbag light burnt out, my ranger did that too.
Pretty much Ford has an alarm to notify you when that indicator light is failing since it's a safety function it's super annoying. There are ways to bypass it or you can just move a bulb from something else on the cluster into that slot and it will stop.
My f150 does this and I hate it
I'm a s10 guy but can't you remove the beeper box alltogether, you know cuz racecar
18:39 🤣🤣 a little more speed and you end up wasted
+1 for having an expert tune the shocks. Made a night and day difference on my race truck.
Need an update, guys!
I think this series is my fav so far you guys have done. From hi-low to money pit to everything else. I think this baja build the best so far
This build, more than any other so far, has me considering the Ship of Theseus. At what point is so much replaced that this truck is no longer a Ranger?
cleetus still calls Leroy a Vette lol, so long as the vin on the sheetmetal is OG I guess
Tis a ranger in frame alone 😂😂
I'm loving this series already!
The spool wasn’t mentioned very much, but I have a feeling it was what added alot of your traction and actually was a big factor in better times
10:28 is the most relatable thing ever everybody has to admit it there’s always one who’s really running the project and when he leaves it’s just monkeys, wrenches, and bush but will be fine we can do this
That was hilarious!! The "puddle"... LOL
"just don't kill me!" :-)
I'm still impressed how you guys are having so much fun and getting paid to do so... The times we live in... ;-)
As a South African Aussie who loves 4wding and big rigs I’m so in for this series ❤ cannot wait to see the end product !!
It will be a whole lot smoother if you lift the front a bit more to gain some travel and remove one or two of those leafs from the rear leaf spring packs to soften things up. The less bumpy and more like a Cadillac you get that ride and the faster you will be able to go. If you don't feel the bumps the suspension is traveling up and over the obstacle as is the goal vs bouncing off of it. Great work though, I love ranger prerunners. Fun trucks to have as a daily driver in the high desert.
well in reality they just need to do some shock tuning and soften there whole shocks all around have less rebound also i dont think they aired down at all they should probably be anywhere from 12-16 psi
@@matthewcampbell7201 all true. They brought Porterfield in to help, hopefully he will be back to help them dial it in
You’re forgetting all the weight from gear, fenders, cage, fuel cell…
Yes all good points as well. My true point is that that suspension still needs to be adjusted a bit and I’d love to see the truck reach its full potential.
@@razgriz4118 Exactly! Those are link killer springs from giant motorsports. They are intended for "race weight" like you said fuel cell, roll cage etc... that and shock tuning and this thing will be smooth as butter. This is donut media not terra crew so they are learning
22:07 his laugh makes it so much more funnier 😂😂😂
15:34 I had that same generation Ranger and that beeping sounds like the airbag alarm. They're notorious for going on the fritz
Not a mechanic and just a rando internet dude, but have off-roaded for many years. Think about changing the camber on your rear axle. I should decrease the play and pull of your axle when the suspension flexes and take some of the torque off of the connecting parts as well. (specifically, like angle it about 15 degrees or more tang up)
Next video title: Our truck was stolen by the cartel!
12:21 my brain when brain freeze 🥶🧠:
Very nice video I just noticed a couple of things about the ranger.
If I were y'all I would replace that lead acid battery on the back with a lithium ion preferably in some sort of spiral or honeycomb. All that sloshing around is going to kill your battery. Not a sexy upgrade but worth it.
I never thought I would be so excited to watch anything related to an old ford ranger but by god am I happy you guys are doing it. This is some class act content. Can’t wait for the next episode. I hope you compile the whole build series into a big video at the end.
11:36 cap “ No more trips to the hardware store” every guy false hop 😂😂😂
I always love to see what you guys build
@19:56 every off-roader has felt this
Im a welder, When Nolan started I knew he screwed up but hey he said it best himself! 🤣
I love how they admit to there faults and not try to be flawless but make amazing stuff!
me who just spent $700 on my pc: 😁
12:29 : 😈
me: 😱
I need another episode!! 😡
Yesss
Love it !!! But it needs a 4 link rear, those leafs are only creating the rougher ride and less flex.
17:47Nolan came in with that gyyyaaat 😂
🤨🤨🤨💀💀💀
So uh... next video?
Awesome build so far guys. Now look into compression and rebound settings. Will make a world of difference from where you guys are now.
Holy hell that puddle was deep! Jobe’s laughter was absolutely everything!!!
The Ranger is starting to become one of my favourite cars in this series
Please don’t put an LS in it. Godzilla or a Coyote.
Yes keep it ford
or literally anything other than an ls
I agree. Nothing cliche please.
Hell, I'd take a Windsor over a ls swap.
100% Ford all the way. Ford truck, so Ford engine. Either a 351 Cleveland, a 5.0 Windsor, or a 5.0 Coyote.
i think you need to install a handle or something for the passenger to hold onto, and maybe some better harnesses. Also, there's a sport in northern europe where they send high powered trucks across the surface of deep water like a water bug or something.
“Grinder and paint make me the welder i aint” was my mentality while trying to stick weld a very thin fence post on top of another thin fence post for my mom so we had an attachment point for her shade sale. It withstood the little bit of snow we had in Louisiana a few months ago (which caused it to droop several feet) so ig i was popping off with the grinder and paint that day😂
People who noticed the problem at 10:58

You should really get a Hurst shifter for your guys' ranger. I got one and absolutely love it. Tight, crispy shifts.
My dude next to a state forest had a ranger like that. It was laughing at the trees down across the trails. Fun times. Didn't even slow down on the little ones that would bone any car.
By the way, drum brakes have one advantage and that is that the sand does not get there so easily and does not make grooves in the disc, and they used to have the advantage that there was no need to install a brake pressure limiter due to their weak braking effects, because the car is supposed to brake, I don't know what the relane values are, but I shoot 60 on the front and 40% on the rear so that the car does not skid during braking, if I am wrong, enlighten me, thank you.
