I was under the impression the 2.3, 2.7 and 3.0 were all multiport.

Sorry you had these issues. No real issues with my 7 month old XLT but I only have 2,800 miles on her. I do remember your tie rod thread. I am curious what you traded for?

I am a firm believer in regular oil lab analysis, in fact it saved me a Jeep engine once by alerting me to coolant contamination while still in the early stages. I agree that 5,000 miles is the sweet spot but I don't agree that I need to change it at 6 months, especially in this dry climate I...

FWIW I often switch the compressor off when nearing my destination to help dry the evaporator to prevent odors. All throughout my first few months of ownership it would still remain off when I restarted the truck hours or days later, and I would have to switch it back on. This past weekend...

Subscribing as I haven't heard that you can modify the EQ with Forscan.

If you want a more substantial place to attach your alligator clamp without damaging the threaded stud just add a couple of nuts. If I recall the larger ones are M10 and the smaller ones are M8 but don't quote me on that. I saw it either in the owner's manual or in the body builders book. edit...

That's me! I'm 6'2" but I'm folded in half a bit lower than most. Sun/moon roofs are a no go. I can raise the seat about 1/2 way and still have headroom but if I raise it all the way I'm hitting the ceiling! Another thing to consider is your line of sight. I'm looking out of the top of the...

The fuse won't matter as long as you connect on the battery side of it, your jump start current will not pass through that fuse.

I changed my break in oil at 1,200 miles with Pennzoil full synthetic, I am now at 2,800 miles, about 1/2 of that is highway. Yet my oil life on the Ford app says 46% with about 1,600 miles remaining. Is it because of all the city driving? I have only been off road for about 15 miles and I have...

I'm still procrastinating on this. Do you still recommend the Comma 3x and why not the four that the OP used? (says it supports Bluepilot)I also have a FitcamX and I wonder if that will get in the way of the camera? I guess I won't need the Fitcamx if Comma works as a dashcam though........

Saw this Ranger this morning being flat towed behind a box truck West on I-10 in New Mexico. Not sure what year it is. A few minutes later an F-150 went by towing a sheep!

The only time I could use it is when we go to Mexico, we have 200 miles round trip from and back to out last gas stop and we burn some on the beach as well. Looks like they don't offer anything for the 2025 XLT though. Took Jerry cans last time. Out of 4 vehicles with us 2 needed help from the...

The actual cause was not determined but he did suspect detonation under load. Wondering if this could be from running RUG, but I was under the impression the ECM, using data from the knock sensors would automatically compensate for low octane to protect the engine. Still, with a compression...

So it only fits Ranger Raptor and not Ranger?

Paying down loan interest is what keeps the working person working.
