  1. Ford: Here's How Long We Torture Test Our Trucks Before We Hand You the Keys

    OK, I get it. The real question is: Why didn't Quality Control catch it? These aren't defective parts. Just like the 2.3 recall, it's parts installed incorrectly.
  2. Ford: Here's How Long We Torture Test Our Trucks Before We Hand You the Keys

    Because the ones they tested, didn't have that problem. They are not testing every vehicle that comes off the line.
  3. HVAC issues

    Probably not voided with FORSCAN, unless you do something drastic and brick the system. But it sounded like OP wanted do more than just that.
  4. Does XLT have stereo EQ?

    Thanks for all the insight. That will help many people.
  5. HVAC issues

    AC Is always on, regardless of temperature set, even in dead of winter when it's 20 outside and heater is set to 72. As stated, it's to control humidity. If you don't want AC running, just turn off the AC, but it will reset at each start. As for DIY, I wouldn't advise dicking around with...
  6. Oil Life, how is it determined?

    As Shrek said, it's an algorithm based on driving and conditions. Don't use that as a reason to change oil. Do it every 5K, regardless of what the oil life meter says, else it will have you changing oil at 10K intervals. Resetting the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor Only reset the oil life...
  7. [Quick Survey] If you were designing the perfect windshield wiper for your truck, what would you improve first?

    Not down here in the South. I wouldn't want my vehicle to come standard with heated wipers no more than I want heated mirrors or steering wheel. Those would be added cost to a vehicle purchase for something I'd never use.
  8. 2025 Lariat "Advanced headlights unavailable" and lights at the ground

    Good question. Another is, since new model Lariats have changed to reflector LED, do Lariats still have self-leveling head lamps?
  9. Ford: Here's How Long We Torture Test Our Trucks Before We Hand You the Keys

    Because it's just one or two selected for testing. That kind of testing won't show S/W issues down the line, or NTSB recalls for something that might happen.
  10. Front camera malfunction, service required

    FYI, the camera is on the windshield behind the rearview mirror. Any debris or damage there could cause issues.
  11. Any ideas? Front springs rubbing on shocks!!!

    Ford Mounted Front Shocks Backwards?! | Ranger6G - 2024+ Ranger & Raptor Forum, News, Owners, Community (6th Gen)
  12. Recalls and Updates Nightmare

    Used that service many time, from routine oil change and maintenance, state inspection, and wheel alignment. They pick it up from my work, and return it before it's time for me to leave. My service manager at the dealer said that Ford MC encourages this type of customer service. But I think...
  13. Ford Mounted Front Shocks Backwards?!

    Hmmm, I wonder if it makes a big difference. It seems odd that one faces forward and the other reward. I didn't pay attention to this when I put a level lift. For strut spacers, you have to rotate the upper strut 60degrees to align the bolts.
  14. 2025 2.3 Start-up CLUNK

    If it's been happening since 2018, there should be plenty of proof of "Something is being damaged or prematurely worn every time this happens" It's your choice, but no guarantee that whatever model you buy won't have its own issues. Just look up Toyota and GM recalls. Hundreds of thousands...
  15. Shadow Black Ranger Build: Eibach Stage 2 Kit, Method 703, Nitto Terra Grappler G3, Bakflip MX4

    Very nice. Liking the wheels. Black vehicles look great, but keeping them clean is key.
  16. Sport mode.... Holy Cow, where is the traction?

    IIRC, people complained that the KO2 would wear too fast. So BFG came out with KO3 that has a harder rubber compound. Now people are complaining about poor road traction.
  17. Brake system warning after software update.

    I totally agree with you. But this isn't a brake failure or issue. It's just the new S/W taking affect. It happened for me Monday morning after the first start up after the update. Hasn't happened since.
  18. 2025 2.3 Start-up CLUNK

    I'd say take it to dealer and log a complaint. They will probably say 'it's normal", but at least it will be recorded in case of future failure.
  19. Trade in and upgrade

    Headlamps are still LED (reflector), just not projector LED.
  20. Brake system warning after software update.

    Relax, Nancy. Just cycle the power off/on to let the update reboot. It isn't a big deal.
