  1. Ranger to be discontinued - is this BS?

    Correct…..but to the unknowing they like to pose like they are. I love busting them at the knees and watching them realize they’re loosing their balance.
  2. 2025 Lariat Desert Sand 2.7L

    Lookin’ Good & Congrats & Welcome! You found a good one in finding a desert sand, not super common. My buddy’s brother showed up to a BBQ in a new Bronco in that color and once I saw it I knew that was it and the hunt was on up here in WA State. Granted I was hunting for a Raptor, but still that...
  3. Ranger to be discontinued - is this BS?

    Salespeople are THE LAST people to ever take at their word! I’ve walked onto lots and talked circles around salespeople on Ford products that they’re supposedly to be the ‘experts’ on as far as options & features & facts & etc. I swear my 16 year old son knows more about a Boeing 747…...and he...
  4. Carbon buildup after 34,000 miles with single valve catch can (scope view)

    After seeing this decided to go down the avenue of jettisoning the oily K&N and pulling out the single side CC which both went on when new. Now at 6.5K I’ve switched to the AFE power dry S air filter and an IAG dual side CC. Figured it’s not going to hurt and I enjoy tinkering with stuff. Only...
  5. What did you do to your Ranger Raptor Today?

    To further help reduce with carbon buildup on the backside of the intake valves the oily K&N and single single catch can have been jettisoned & updated to an AFE power dry S air filter and the IAG dual side catch can.
  6. Back Glass Window

    I use the hell out of the power slider. Never given an ounce of issues. That’s the 1st thing I open every time I get in it during summer. Always have on anything that I’ve owned with a power slider. So much so that, that’s the one feature I think Ford missed….a warning chime that’s it open at...
  7. What show got you into cars & trucks? 📺🏁

    In the mid 90’s coming home from bar tore up and seeing the only thing on was the Slick 50 infomercial at 2 am. That slant 6 is probably still purring along w/o oil and just a coating of Slick 50. That and then the Time Life Sounds of the 70’s CD box set infomercial. If ya remember ya...
  8. Changing Your Own Oil - 3rd Party Extended Warranty Issue

    Absolutely you can and I still do. The disappointing thing was several years ago you could post photos attached to those entries as well for legitimate proof. With pictures things are ill refutable. That features been removed for some reason.
  9. Changing Your Own Oil - 3rd Party Extended Warranty Issue

    Carfax Care? I’ll have to look into that. Sounds like a good place to keep it all organized & easily accessible by others. I like it - Thanks!
  10. Changing Your Own Oil - 3rd Party Extended Warranty Issue

    Document w/Time Stamped Photos of the process ALWAYS!!! Once on a previous Taurus SHO, on a warranty issue, I was asked by Ford for any oil change documentation. Without any receipts I just provided a string of documented changes exactly like this. The service writer said they’d never seen...
  11. Bronco Pickup could kill the Ranger?!?!

    Reading that: if Ford did bring Stateside the SD Ranger and market it as a smaller F-150 then the nostalgic F-100 name works in that capacity. I think it’s kinda clever and opens up using the “Ranger” name as possibly an upper trim model like they used to on the older F-Series models. I mean we...
  12. Bronco Pickup could kill the Ranger?!?!

    Build them both! You can’t take the doors & the top off the Ranger. There are those people where that’s a priority or at least a Major purchase factor. Let’s give those customers a Ford option, something other than just a Jeep product. You gotta look at like The Bronco nameplate becoming its...
  13. Dumb question I know

    Exactly! Just popped out the drivers side marker light with a plastic pry/trim tool. I did blue tape around the light on the paint just to be safe. Wouldn’t hurt I figured. It popped out with ease from what I remember. Between that access and up in front of the battery I had all the access I...
  14. Dumb question I know

    I used there in line Y harness. No scotch locks! But it was an extra purchase alongside the kit itself. Uses weather pack OEM style connectors that I loaded with di-electric grease during assembly for extra wetness protection. Hasn’t given me any issues.
  15. What Small Ranger Interior & Truck‑Bed Upgrade Makes Your Daily Life Easier?

    Couple I couldn’t live without…….the safe in the center console is an absolute must! I have my CPL and EDC an H&K CC9. This safe meets all of WA States regs. for the firearm being locked up & out of sight when it needs to be left behind in the vehicle (bars, banks, schools here in WA). Plus...
