The auto start stop lets the transmission lose hydraulic pressure an the clutches slam back into lockup (at least that's what some internet engineer claims). I've also heard it's hard on the cam phasers since they rely on hydraulic pressure too.
I had a 2019 for 46K miles and never had a...
Looks good. Has the ride changed? I traded in a bronco with the Sasquatch tires and wheels I added because it rode so stiff. I swapped Sas take off suspension too an it didn't help.
The 10r60 in my rr is way smoother than the 10r80 that was in my '19. The 10r60 in the rr isn't as smooth as the one in my '23 bronco. I was thinking the rangers have a lot more towing limits than the bronco and maybe the explorer st. The bronco is only 3,500 lbs. This may affect the shift...
Nice. I live about 40 minutes from that track. It gets crazy there and it takes forever to get a run in. I went several years back with my bud in our 5.0's an were there 8 hours and got 2 runs in each.
I took my '97 cobra to Dragway 42 which is about an hour away an I did so many runs I stopped...
There are threads on the transmission fluid change on ranger5G and bronco forums. Seems buying an aftermarket oil pan with a drain plug is popular. I think I'm just going to suck the 5 quarts out the fill port on the side of the trans with a transfer pump at 30K then pump it out and lower the...
I don't hear wind noise but when I drive with the ventilation off I can feel a slight draft. One of the reasons I bought this truck is I had a bronco an hated the drafts and wind noise.
I had the non cleanable one in my bronco. I sprayed it from the inside out with my compressor and got a little more life out of it. It wasn't much more than the stock filter from the dealer.
I picked up a cheap one from Amazon for $230 an it's about what was shown in the eBay link. the rear corner doesn't match perfect but it seals and works. Looks fine to me for what I paid.
I had a nice flush fit tri fold that had the convenient spring loaded latches that released with a cable...
My guess is a rebuild or overhaul would be disassembling the transmission and replacing all the clutches and stuff. The valve body is bolted inside the trans and controls the shifting. I guess it's considered a "part" so replacing it isn't a rebuild.
It probably doesn't matter but I ran blend the first few oil changes in my 2019. I read about fuel in the oil from the direct injection an I was thinking I'd let the rings break in before switching. In the RR I haven't decided if I'll switch to full after a break in change or two. I don't plan...
I bought a $230 hard cover off amazon an it said it doesn't fit. It's fits, locks out water but the corners aren't a perfect contour on the rear of the bed. I think it looks acceptable for the price.
