I have a sportsman that I recently put your gel battery in of this same design, I put this AGM battery in my same year ranger and same engine, it doesn't seem to spin as fast as the sportsman does. So I don't know if that's engine configuration differences I just hope that doesn't mean I'll have problems when it gets really cold. Other than that unbelievable that the battery came halfway cross country in 2 days ready to go except for initial charge up. Service has been outstanding both times we'll see how well the battery works which is great so far...
