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...
This weekend I did some beach cruising. I used the sand drive mode which shifted me into 4HI and locked the rear axle. I noticed something odd. If I shifted back to normal drive mode it would return to 2WD and the rear axle would unlock, but if I stopped in sand mode, shut the engine off, then...
I made one of these for my Superduty and kept it after I sold it, decided to shorten it and freshen it up for the Ranger. 2" angle (1/8") and 9 gauge 3/4" expanded metal. (No I did not grind off the center support and re-center it, but I did relocate the two hangers that bolt up to the bed rail...
I'm going to Mexico soon, I was wondering if I have the secondary speedometer set for KPH will the speed limiting function read the KPH signs and work the same as it does with MPH? Or can I change the main speedo to KPH and have the limiter work?
This is what they get in Europe. The gross weight exceeds our US Ranger's specs, not sure what Euro Rangers are specd at. European vehicles are usually rated higher for the same vehicle due to lower towing speeds and lighter tongue weights in Europe. Pin weight around 1,300 lbs...
Has anyone done it in a non-Raptor 4x4 Ranger without damage? Last year I did it in a Jeep TJ and I recall a couple spots that were pretty sketchy and some pretty tight hairpins, would like to try it in the Ranger. The ground clearance is about the same but the length and departure angle on the...
If I have backup assistance does that mean I automatically have reverse guidance as well? (My truck has the advanced towing package plus technology package) If I understand correctly the reverse guidance is the camera view part of the package?
Question #2, if indeed I have both, does each one...
Anyone tried one of those inflatable boots, or an innertube etc between the cab and the topper window? I'm going on a fishing trip and with the 5 foot bed I'll have to leave the rear windows open and poke the rods through into the cab. Will have some dusty dirt roads and possibly some rain...
I have the Offroam which is a great mount, but I did not like my phone sticking up on top of the dash and there is no need to be able to look at it since I use Android Auto although it is still very visible from the driver's seat. I wanted a fast, easy way to plop my phone on a magnetic charger...
I have an old version of Forscan on an old Android tablet that I used on my 2002 Superduty with an OBDLink MX ELM 327 BT adapter, have not tried it on the Ranger. It worked OK on the 2002 with occasional crashes. I think it's just Forscan Lite though.
What is the best setup? A windows laptop...
Will the hidden organizer work with the armrest cover or do the straps that hold the armrest cover in place get in the way of opening the hidden compartment?
I finally had time to wrap this up, just waiting on a fuse from Mouser but I already tested it. Since the Pirate Camp under bonnet mount was pretty much unobtainable in the US I made my own. I ended up making 4 parts, a bracket that fits under the air box and connects to an un-used hole in the...
What's the best way to tap the aux terminals and still be able to close the cover? Use a ring terminal and bend it? Look for 90 degree ring terminals? I am considering using a MEGA fuse and bending one end, this would solve 2 issues at the same time, has anyone tried that? (My load will be 30...
For all the owners out there with switchblade key fobs what case are you using? I want one that will stop the switchblade key from constantly opening while in my pocket. For my TDI I found a hard shell one that solved the issue but I don't recall where I got it back in 2018.
So I went to clean all the glass today and thought I'd clean those fingerprints off the rear view mirror that I've been noticing. Well they don't come off, they're on the inside of the glass! I stopped by the dealer and they took pics and are going to ask Ford what action, if any, to take. I...
The one thing I refused to do was buy a Ranger without the 360 view. I knew it would be handy due to tight parking quarters, and for backing into parking spaces which is the best and safest way to park IMHO. I had to have it, no if's, ands or buts.
It hasn't disappointed. It makes it easy to...
