  1. DTE with the Long Range America 35 gallon fuel tank (500+ miles range now)

    Yes, the gauge responds to fuel levels--its just wrong. It seems, when you fill it up, it stays on full longer-a lot longer. I think this is because of the the new tank having the top of the tank extended above the original tank where the Pump/Sending unit is still located in roughly its...
  2. DTE with the Long Range America 35 gallon fuel tank (500+ miles range now)

    The Down under (Thailand produced) trucks never changed—only the U.S. trucks from 2025 on.
  3. DTE with the Long Range America 35 gallon fuel tank (500+ miles range now)

    Yes, it is disappointing. These tanks were advertised and sold stating you could recalibrate, using Forscan, so that your fuel gauge and DTE would be correct. this is true up to model year 2024 on US spec trucks. I read about, and saw several videos of people installing these tanks and...
  4. DTE with the Long Range America 35 gallon fuel tank (500+ miles range now)

    Exactly!! When it reads empty, do I have 15 gallons, 5 gallons—or am I on fumes? how can you plan a trip when your fuel gauge doesn’t reflect almost half the capacity in the fuel tank? You can’t.
  5. DTE with the Long Range America 35 gallon fuel tank (500+ miles range now)

    That is not the problem; before adding the extended tank, when the gauge read a quarter tank remaining, it was about 5 gallons. With the 35 gallon tank installed, a quarter tank is about 20 gallons remaining (the entire original tank volume). The actual tank volume does not register with 1/4...
  6. Front Driveshaft Throwing Grease

    Just to close this out, my truck did get fixed. I kind of feel horrible about the whole “Customer Service” experience. The first time I turned it in for the drive shaft, (about 2500 miles) the dealer stated they couldn’t find any problem—they kept my truck for 2 weeks and gave it back filthy...
  7. FORScan & 140L long range tank RR

    Big Meats, I have a 2025 US spec Ranger Raptor model I installed a Long Range America 35 gallon tank in. I really, really want to have my fuel tank capacity changed so my Distance til empty (DTE), MPG and fuel level will work correctly. Do you have any advise--Nathan, if you are reading this...
  8. DTE with the Long Range America 35 gallon fuel tank (500+ miles range now)

    Has anybody found a solution to this yet? I installed a Long Range America tank about 3 months ago and I have no clue as to how much gas I have in the tank--and in all honesty, I really haven't looked at a conventional fuel gauge in 20 years--I only look at the Distance To Empty (DTE) and...
  9. Bed Tie Down Hook Bolts!

    Worth every penny lol Ford Ranger Bed Tie Down Hook Bolts! IMG_9004 I agree. I wish I had one 40 years ago. They work great for removing the Tie-down bolts and any rusted or seized fastener.
  10. Thoughts on extended warranties?

    It is a Loyalty Points reward program Ford gives customers if you buy parts, services, and even a new vehicle from them. I think a new Raptor with the accessories I bought with it gave me about 42,000 points—which some people cash in for first oil change—I used all of mine to pay down part of my...
  11. Thoughts on extended warranties?

    No, I haven’t. My basic thoughts are that completely applying PPF to a vehicle is real expensive—about $6k for a good professional product, and a pro installer. You can repaint a vehicle for that kind of money. On all my recent new vehicles. I have adopted a different strategy—only PPF the most...
  12. Thoughts on extended warranties?

    I think an original FORD ESP warranty is worth it—maybe for different reasons than what you are thinking. My go-to cars for the last 40 years have been BMWs, Mercedes, and Porsches. What I learned from them, is that they are so electronic oriented and dependent, (just like our Raptors), when...
  13. Bed Tie Down Hook Bolts!

    I bought an Inductive heater like I was asking about. I have discussed it in another post on here. It works awesome. https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/easy-way-to-remove-stuck-bed-tie-down-screws-thread-locked-tp40-screws.24954/
  14. Ranger Raptor on Dyno + Turbo Upgrade

    The dry air filter is an AFE 21-60507. It also has size info: 6f x 7-1/2b x 5-1/2t x 7h in
  15. Easy Way to Remove Stuck Bed Tie-Down Screws (thread-locked TP40 screws)

    You are correct on the licensed and proper name/abbreviation (IP)I have been guilty of mis-naming the fastener—but it’s not entirely our faults. Tool manufacturers that both pay and do not pay licensing fees and call the fastener TP instead of the correct name IP. These are pics from a master...
  16. Easy Way to Remove Stuck Bed Tie-Down Screws (thread-locked TP40 screws)

    Since I bought mine, I’ve been digging around the junk pile trying to find old rusty bolts and nuts to remove. I wish I had one of these years ago. I am having a flashback of when I caught an oil pressure garage line on fire and melted a fuel injector wire harness while I was trying to put the...
  17. Front Driveshaft Throwing Grease

    Of course it’s horrible customer service, it’s a big corporation with many dealerships. I don’t want to kick the hornets nest. I think they are the lessor of the worst in my area.
