I'd love to move closer FrankLee but the house is almost paid for . I like my small town lifestyle anyhow.

One of the things I am looking at is how to "remove" the A/C belt. My Ranger has a serpentine belt so I am not sure how to accomplish this. Has anyone else done this? Also changing all the fluids to synthetic should help. I really don't want the expense of a truck cap right now but if I can find a tonneau cover for this bed I might go that route. At least a tailgate net would be helpful I think. I'm sure there are many other options but I want this to be a slow progression so I can really see the differences. Also if I change too much at one time then it is hard to decide which change made what improvements.

I'm all ears and open to suggestions. Other than moving closer (sorry Frank)
