You get the mic? You try it out yet?
I never thought about a license plate mount. I might have to fire up Fusion 360 and the 3D printer and print my own mounting bracket for a mic. I also want to try to make my own brackets to hold a Baja Designs 30" S8 on the front of the truck but I need to...
I've been meaning to tape one of my DJI Mic 2's with a windscreen to the rear bumper near the exhaust to see if I can capture a nice recording of my stock exhaust. I did this with a similar mic on a mountain bike near the gears and got a pretty decent recording of the chain, cassette, and hub...
Got my truck and the report back from the dealer today. The tech found codes U3001 and U3012 in the ABS module which led them to SSM 53861 just like @fishin01 just posted.
Edit: Found the text of SSM 53861 on NHTSA's website. Here's the text:
I found the following info on NHTSA's website. Will be interesting to see if my Ranger threw the codes listed in the document or not. Text quoted below. Screen cap attached.
Thanks! Good to know the booster and ABS module are linked in the Ranger. I've seen other cars (2000-era Forerunners) where the booster and ABS are independent so if you lose the ABS, you still have the booster. Had I known that about the Ranger, I probably wouldn't have even tried driving it.
I've had my RR since April of this year. It's at about 3300 miles. Today, I went to start it and received a whole flurry of error messages and warnings.
It started with a message like "Parking brake limited functionality. Service required." Then I got a bunch of other messages along the lines...
Thanks. I'm probably going to start going there for service. Have you seen their giant new fleet service center behind the main dealership? It's unreal how big it is.
They currently have a fully restored original Bronco in the showroom off to the side of the main showroom. Not for sale; belongs...
My friend who spotted mine on the freeway on Tuesday drove me to the dealer and I picked mine up today! I've wanted one since they were released in Australia and I can't believe it's real now!
Also, the dealer prepared all the paperwork in advance so everything went super smooth today...
My buddy saw my Ranger Raptor before I did! He was getting on the freeway just as a car carrier with my Raptor on it was getting off the freeway at the exit for the dealer. He caught it on his dashcam. Mild language in video. Anyway, yep, it was mine. It's at the dealer. I pick it up Thursday...
I would have found a place with a nice patio overlooking the parking lot and driven to lunch to go sit on the patio and admire my new truck! Lol.
As soon as I clicked reply, I realized the absurdity of posting about walking to lunch on a truck forum. But our office is literally in a strip mall...
Dealer called last week. My 2025 RR is still in the shop at the plant. The Ford order tracking site still shows as "2/25/2025 In Production." I expect another update from the dealer toward the end of the week since they've been calling about every Friday now.
I got the same email today. Graphics, bead locks, spray-in bed liner, and keypad entry were my options.
Dealer called earlier in the week and said it was off the main production line and in the shop where they do Raptor-specific things. In the days of the Gen 1 F150 Raptor, this was attaching...
