    Thanks, I appreciate your comments, yes, safety is a prime concern. The GVWR as per the door sticker on my Ranger is 6170lbs, the GVW of the unit I'm looking at is 5280 lbs, so it is within the rated specs of the Ranger. I am trying to maintain a safety margin of 15 to 20% under the GVWR of my...

  7. Erratic oil pressure reading-2025 Ranger 2.3 eco boost

    I would hate to tell you not to worry about it and then have something happen. What I would do is really watch how the oil pressure interacts with the throttle/turbo response, keeping in mind that there may be a slight delay depending on the sensors reporting. Insist on going with the tech on...
  8. Erratic oil pressure reading-2025 Ranger 2.3 eco boost

    Mine was doing that and I noticed it kinda conicided with the turbo boost, some mentioned it was related to the varible cam timing?

    I also feel your pain. my 2024 was hit $28000.00 (not including the rental they paid for), they had to replace the roof and hood as they were so badly damaged they could not be fixed. The company that fixed it showed me all the progress pictures and the process for changing the roof, very...
  14. Mud Flaps, yay or nay?

    Alberta is a province within Canada, other provinces may have different legislation, I'm pretty sure Ford doesn't want to build 13 different base trucks, no more than they would want to build 50 different base trucks for the US.
  15. Mud Flaps, yay or nay?

    They are mandatory here in Alberta Canada, but are not included in the base, must be added on.
  16. Mud Flaps, yay or nay?

    You may want to check with the local authorities, some places they are mandatory.

  19. 10K mile oil changes

    Here is some food for thought guys. At one time John Deere recommended oil changes at 100 hours, the high HP turbo engines lasted 5 to 6000 hours. Now if you use JD oil they suggest up to 500 hours change interval and those high HP turbo engines are lasting 8 to 10000 hours. So this begs the...
