You guys crack me up this is just plain old fashion bragging! :crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::crackup::sunglasses:

I just wanted to post/pass this this on so others can actually see proof that your oil change intervals matter. These are 2.5l engines, not Fords but just personnel picture proof of the difference. The clean engine is after 126,000 miles. I personally took care of that cars maintenance for 10...

I thought I'd post this in case someone else might need it or like the idea. I was looking to just add a pocket or clip to hold insurance papers, receipts for a quick grab and go with it instead of the glove box. It helps protect the original material considering I've always got an elbow or...

Just saw this other recall! Showed for my 2025 XLT. :facepalm:

Just thought I'd pass along an idea in case someone else can use it. I repurposed one of those under counter/closet lights that are rechargeable by USB for quick an easy cargo lighting. I found it fits nice in the corner of the bed out of the way. They are magnetic so you can put them where you...

Finally had the time to make tail light modification/customization which in my opinion Ford should've made them this way for visibility sake in the first place. This involved adding a bulb, making a low draw circuit to enable only one LED bulb at a time to be on in reverse or tail/stop function...

I just had to share this as I found it amusing. A long time friends son has a early 2025 XL with the 2.3L. I'm under a 91 Bronco finishing up a transfer case rebuild putting fluid in it. I see the truck pulling in my long driveway. He gets out along with his Dad and they commence to tell me how...

This is on 2025 so I can assume all this generation will be the same. It's not located where you think it should be, thank you Ford. It is almost dead center of the truck side to side. I've posted several pictures to help you find it. Under the drivers side. Find your dip stick on the...

I've had for quite a few years and used on different trucks, saves having to use one of my trailers for picking up long items at the hardware, lumber store etc...10 foot from front of bed, 3 foot from tailgate. Keeps load weight off tailgate. I've hauled 16 -18 foot long no problems. Can...

I thought I'd post this as there still seems to be, what does the "normal" startup of the duel injected 2.3l sound like in our Rangers, along with a brief explanation of what your hearing and my norms in mine (plus 2 others) which so far, Knock on wood, has given me zero problems and I'm...

This is a one of a kind custom, tailor made light that is now a part of the grill and cannot be removed. An example of some of the custom work I have done in the past. Working on a tail light modification to do in the future.. Night view as requested. Hard to get good night time pictures of...

I've seen this information wrong all over the web even stupid AI, so thought I'd give pictures of the drive type for all to see. The 2.3l oil pump is Not chain driven. It is gear driven directly off crankshaft. This changed in 2020 in explorer 2.3l and 2024 and engine was even given a longer...

Don't rely on fuel brand for Top Tier fuels I've experienced this many times thus the reason for posting. I live in and around small "cities". They may be technically be called cities but real nearby cities high school enrollment is larger! :crackup: Many gas stations, corner markets...

Wanted to post for those interested. Install is kind of self explanatory, just be advised, make triple sure your transmission is at the proper level, you will need to mark the stick after installation for a full mark. Stay away from hot exhaust and no sharp bends keep a nice gentle angle. For...

My added touches to finish out Fords blackout the way I think it should be done, at least on mine, but I'm old school! I also added side marker yellow LED's in the vented fender pieces. In bright sun can still see blackish chrome/blue in oval.

Anyone else experiencing a strange pulsating wind noise that hurts your ears if driving down the road over 45mph with the back windows rolled down? It's so bad you have to roll the windows up or it feels like your eardrums are going to exploded! It was present before I installed a bed cover and...

March of 2025 the API approved of the new Rating of "SQ" so your going to start seeing it in the Doughnut symbol on oil jugs soon if not already. It's backwards compatible per the norm so don't be alarmed if you need an oil for SP, SN, SN plus etc... I just bought some Motorcraft oil and it...

Fords new dual injection strategy is quite ingenious and goes like this, the Port injection is fully operable, at all times. The RPM at which it starts to be added to by the Direct injection is dependent on engine size and load. The basics are if your piddly putting around and staying out of a...

Just a short write up on how to remove the front lower valance panel for repainting on the 2025 Ranger. First if you have 4X4 remove the front skid plate 4-15mm bolts, (you do not have to completely remove the rear two they have slots) If you have the lower wind valance remove that as it will...

I cannot seem to find out how to post photos on the forum to go with helpful information I'd like o post! Anyone explain his for me? When I try and attach photos it does nothing!?
