You're too nice and accommodating! When I'm the driver, it's "I'm the captain, so my rules, my tunes!" :LOL: Fortunately, I can tolerate, at times, music not in my general interest and I'll let passengers have their moments with the exception of my wife. For some reason, she doesn't...
As of today, I've put almost 3700 miles on my truck since I brought it home 5 months ago which includes an 1100 mile roundtrip road trip. I'm retired so my commuting days are very much over. Point being is that I'm not driving my truck routinely like a normal human being would. :) Additionally...
There's been quite a few rain occurrences since my last post regarding a question about water intrusion and the DB SE cover. Some of these rain events have been outright downpours. The bed has remained dry although during the downpours, I wasn't out driving the truck. Today, however, I drove my...
Attaching a screenshot from the 2024 Ford Ranger Owner's Manual regarding engine oil...
XO-5W30-Q1SP is Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, and XO-5W30-Q1FS is the Motorcraft Full Synthetic.
Yeah, that's unfortunate! But it goes back to your original inquiry about fitment of the current DB crossbins for 2019-2023 Rangers to 2024-2025 Rangers. The follow up question would be whether installation of the J-brace would address DB's concern? If both conditions are met, then extend the...
I would be interested as well. When I was looking into the crossbins earlier in the year, I thought that I had read that DB did not recommend or make the crossbins for the 2024 Rangers because of the J-brace issue.
Edit: found the thread...
Thank you for the post. I'm due to do the first oil change on my 2024 Lariat 2.3L and was looking for information to reference. This will be helpful.
Question regarding the oil pan drain plug. I understand that the oil pan is made from aluminum, so attention is needed with the drain plug so...
Other than having issues initially programming Homelink to my garage door opener, it's been rock solid ever since (knocking on wood). I'm guestimating the max range for me around 150 ft.
Sorry that I can't offer other ideas/insight. Good luck troubleshooting.
Yeah, the BedRug is kind of like my wetness indicator. I've felt the sides and creases for wetness after washing the truck or after it has rained and so far there's been no indication that water is getting in.
The only times the BedRug has gotten wet was the built-in hinge or piece between...
My DB SE has been holding up very well. I initially installed the cover on January 28th, but I've removed and reinstalled it once because we had a string of mild weather and I took that opportunity to permanently install the Bed Rug. We've had a few days of wet inclement weather but nothing...
I have been trying to get the HomeLink on my 2024 Ranger to work since I brought the truck home in late December. I tried almost everything that I came across online but have had no success. I tried it again today after watching this video and BAM, it worked the first try! I did two things...
We have 5 crates (I keep 3 in my truck and my wife keeps two in her car). We haven't had a problem with any of them except on one occasion when I put waaaay too much weight in the crate. So it totally was my fault. They have come in handy on many occasions.
Not sure how the crate can...
Yep, this just goes to show that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Different situations call for different solutions. Nonetheless, I hope that you're getting a flavor of options out there. Good luck.
The Ranger Lariat is my first truck that I've owned, so all my prior vehicles were cars. I don't like having things just sitting in plain sight inside the cabin of a vehicle for the obvious reasons, so a car trunk was very important to me. I wanted to "simulate" a car trunk for my Ranger, so I...
Same. I have a Lariat that I purchased in December so I've been using the heated steering wheel quite a bit this winter season, and after a while my steering wheel can get a bit on the hot side, but not too uncomfortably hot. That said, I'm not complaining since I've really only needed it...
Per the installation instructions, DB specifically states to be careful not to overtighten the clamps. Step 5:
"While tightening clamps, be aware of possible bed rail cap deformation. Overtightening clamps will damage rail caps and cause leaking."
So perhaps, the length of the bolts are by...
My DB SE cover arrived at 3:24pm ET yesterday, and I finished installing it at around 6:30pm. 😀 It went surprisingly well, especially since I also temporarily installed a Bedrug bed liner. I'll permanently affix the bedliner when the temps are warmer. For me, the most challenging step was...
