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!

19:37
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.
@@JackSpeedthe leaf springs seem to be pretty bad in the rear too, if only they were coilovers
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. :)
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.
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
@@xboxbenny😂😂😂😂😂
@@xboxbenny Damn son
@@xboxbenny 🤣🤣
@@xboxbennyI don’t even think that is an insult!
Thanks for all the smiles.
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
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!
Justin @ 15:05 playing with the sand and rocks. That's a true soldier right there
Wow lmao so true nigga
Thought my internet stopped at 12:22 💀
Edit: They fixed the corrupt file
Came down to check if it was just me
Shookt bro 😂
Same

@@garrettclarke2266
yup. @donut: fix the file corruption
19:33 "Its actually really smooth!" As their heads are hitting the roof! 🤣
11:36 cap “ No more trips to the hardware store” every guy false hop 😂😂😂
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.
It’s been a month. Can we get the next video now please?
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!!
12:21 thought my phone f'd up
Me too I thought it was an ad and it didn't play an I was no my tablet gone
SAME BRO
lol reminds me of the F1 streams
@@burghyrwhat happened?
I don’t see it
Jobe dying of laughter and Nolan afraid for the life of the truck is the funniest thing ever. Great content boys!
17:30 .. Same Justin Same 😂
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.
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!
Seriously great series guys!
I’ve watched almost every diet video in this one has been insane. I love the pure joy it’s breaking y’all.
I'm loving this series already!
“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?😅
2:55 Nolan practicing the cut twice measure once method
😂😂
My favorite series of the channel, and I've been around for a while. The truck was such a good call
Im so happy Justin worked out
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.
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
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.
Really gets me excited to start my ranger build!!!🤟🏽 sick vid as always boys!!!
The transition at 12:22 went crazy, love from greece
Greek fans rise up!
@@anemoooooshereeee
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!!
Watching this episode was the most fun thing I’ve done in a while
Keep on rockin guys
This is the best Donut build yet!!!! Thanks guys!
12:22 The video really "BRAKED" there . Love this old strapped with gold builds
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.
really killin' it with the soundtracks these days! been a viewer since the channel was born, you guys are doing awesome work!
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.
12:20 theres a error donut 🍩
Another great video for the ranger. Cant wait to see it all kitted out
I’ve see all episodes donut puts out but damn great job with this one so fun to watch!
This is by far the best money pit you guys have done. I love this series so much.
12:21 makes you think your internet or phone went wrong 😂
Needs a twin turbo coyote swap 🦅🦅
Love these videos fellas. Best type video y’all do !
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.
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 😂
18:39 🤣🤣 a little more speed and you end up wasted
I love Nolan’s genuine emotion!
I love these series!
18:53 Love the Jeremy Clarkson-like "What a machine!" 👍VKeep up the good work guys
19:49 Justin laughing like Seth Rogan 😂
That was awesome. Great content. Thanks a bunch
super fun series!!
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
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.
Putting those ties through a good test, I have the same tires in 35s on methods on my JT and I love them!
Great driving Nolan, that fun to watch!
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 think this is my new favorite series on donut.
These guys are just having a great time together and it's so entertaining😂😂
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
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
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 love this series!
I always love to see what you guys build
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
I'm looking forward to seeing this finished build. More so than the Civic, I love trucks like this. I love suspension components. So in really looking forward to this truck being finished
By far the best money pit series 🔥
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... ;-)
15:47 Milwaukee headlights 😂😂
Vicarious, visceral enjoyment!
Nice.
Everyone felt that.
22:07 his laugh makes it so much more funnier 😂😂😂
The Ranger is starting to become one of my favourite cars in this series
They are going so hardcore on this build I love it
Im so excited for the Ranger build!
I need another episode!! 😡
Yesss
me who just spent $700 on my pc: 😁
12:29 : 😈
me: 😱
Honestly, this is the best series by far.
That was probably one of the most entertaining donut videos I’ve ever watched
12:21 my brain when brain freeze 🥶🧠:
Need an update, guys!
Glad you did this with the original engine/trans!
Literally best series ever
17:47Nolan came in with that gyyyaaat 😂
🤨🤨🤨💀💀💀
People who noticed the problem at 10:58
👇
Loving this build!
Great video. I also have those Raceline Ryno wheels with Yokohama tires on my LJ and I love them. Great combo.
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.
So uh... next video?
Holy hell that puddle was deep! Jobe’s laughter was absolutely everything!!!
The pond scene was awesome! 😄
ALL IN for this glorious Ranger content!!!
15:34 I had that same generation Ranger and that beeping sounds like the airbag alarm. They're notorious for going on the fritz
