Posted parts of this prior, but after 3 weeks and 3 complete dash removals, the final fix to what I thought was just a blend door actuator ended up being a complete HVAC box replacement, tearing the truck down to the firewall.
Started with a clicking in the dash behind the driver side vent. It...
Had to have both my blend door actuators replaced last week, and got my truck back last night. Noticed way more air coming into the foot wells. No matter what setting I used, air was still flowing into the foot wells. Manual states some air will always leak into the foot wells, but mine seem...
Why is it that a Ranger V6 has a single exhaust that does it no justice, yet a fake truck like a Honda Ridgeline has dual exhaust? Even the brother vehicle the Everest has dual exhaust. Come on Ford, no reason whatsoever to have single exhaust on these trucks! Even if you made it an option!
Not sure why Ford opted to add Chrome to the grill? I mean I would understand on a chrome package, but to me, that grill looks horrible. It should have been an option, not standard on the XLT and Lariat. I am glad I got a 25. Thoughts?
Well, no kidding Ford, one gets all the marketing attention, the other you hide under a rock.

Do you engage the 4x4 system, and if so, how often and what steps do you take. I understand it's essential to keep the system lubricated. I rarely go off road, and I am sure most don't either, so it might be a maintenance items to keep track of!
It is unreal to me that it's the first of the new year and the order guide has been available for months, and you can order a 2026, but Ford has yet to update their site? No wonder Ranger sales are falling behind expectation!
I have an issue with what appears to be one or more HVAC blend door actuators. I got the shop diagram showing me the locations but being I do not know which is bad, it makes me nervous having the dealership tear the dash apart. There appears to be four of them. I think 2 or 3 of them can be...
Love my truck but wish there was an identity for the 2.7L V6 on the truck. The euro models actually say V6 on the fender badge. My truck is carbonized grey FX4. The FX4 is in red. I am thinking of pulling off the XLT silver letters and adding one of the options below. Which one would you...
I have had this odd random popping sound from my dash and "think" it is the HVAC blend door actuators. I really don't want to have the dealer pull my dash apart, fearing more rattles than it's worth, but want to see if I can fix the noise. I see a procedure of pulling the HVAC fuses and...
Is the transmission the exact same on all models and engine options? Meaning same trans in the 2.3, 2.7 and 3.0? Would be good to know, as that means the 2.3 and 2.7 hae a beefier trans! Second question, if you let completely off the gas, then reengage by pressing the gas again, do you have a...
I have been watching and waiting for a good sounding exhaust system for the 2.7L. I think the OEM unit is poor in sound, more so compared to the 3.0 in the RR that is crazy nice. The difference between the 2.7 and 3.0 , both being V6, tells me there has to be a better sounding system. I...
Just noticed that when my lights are on auto, the driver side fog lighjt is on? I have to then hit the fog light button twice and the passenger side one comes on? Both work, but odd that only the river is one unless I hit the button a second time. Both do work? Normal or not?
