And for anyone that needs to do the front sensors, Levittown Ford confirmed the part numbers were flipped. It should be updated on their website, but I saw the same flip on some other part retailer websites.
MB3Z-3C097-H -Passenger Front Sensor
MB3Z-3C097-J - Driver Front Sensor
Its a sensor linking massive suspension components that see enormous forces. Even if it was metal it would break if you put any of the suspension's forces into it.
I'm surprised it gave you errors, my front sensor was broken for who knows how long and never gave me any codes.
Anyone with a newish Raptor happen to be able to grab part number for me?
Looking for the part numbers listed on the white tag taped to the front right (passenger) ride height sensor?
Looking for this engineering part number highlighted below (wraps around the part) (this is from the...
The Proclip mount is great. Apparently they don't sell the mount that holds the OEM Apple Magsafe pucks anymore. That was my preference because 3rd party wireless chargers always seem to overheat the phone. Maybe its better now that magsafe has been integrated into the Qi2 standard.
No idea really. Suspension is completely stock. I had a shop rebuild the shocks and they pointed out that the sensors were broken. Half of me wonders if they accidentally broke them during the shock removal, but I don't have any way to know for sure. They offered to replace them for the cost of...
Somehow I've managed to break both of my passenger side ride height sensors. No codes or anything thrown, but one broke the arm off the sensor and the other snapped on the linkages. Took it to the dealership and they wanted $200 for a diagnosis and said they didn't expect warranty would cover...
What I ended up doing was threading an eyebolt into the rear bed rail attachment points. Then I ran a cam strap through the wheels of the bike, looping it around the wheel on each bike. Made for a very secure and stable solution.
Using some cheap Amazon fork mounts, this was by far the cheapest...
The front axles disconnect at the hubs when you're in 2WD.
AC Compressor clutch is going to be either on or off at all times except the fraction of a second while its engaging. The Ranger doesn't have a torque split display, but some other Fords do. My wife's Bronco Sport has one and you can...
MPG and clutch wear. 4A uses an electronically controlled clutch to engage the front wheels. Anytime the 4A torque request to the front wheels isn't 0/50% its going to be slipping the clutch.
In practice its probably fine, most AWD crossovers these days use a similar mechanism and you don't...
There shouldn't be. My ride height sensors were showing 0" after the rebuild. Its a pretty easy process with Forscan to recalibrate the ride height sensors if something was off.
I did need an alignment though.
That's pretty much it. I don't have the garage space to get this truck 4 wheels up and leave it for a a week+, so I had Texas Shock Works do the rebuild in house. They have general pricing on their website. They charged a bit more than F150 for the Ranger because its rear coilover. Including new...
My shocks starting making some noise around 40k miles, got pretty noisy by 50k miles. Just had them rebuilt and they're quite and feeling much better. Shop that rebuilt them said there was noticeable nitrogen in the oil on 3 out of 4 shocks.
Do the ride height sensors need to be calibrated if you replace the entire sensor? My front right is broken at the arm on the sensor itself, not the linkage. Debating how much hassle the warranty would give, the truck is stock and has seem relatively minor offroad use. Sensor itself should be...
The sensor itself isn't broken, but the linkage between the sensor and the control arm had sheared off. One would think they have some ways of checking for bad data from the sensor, but I guess not.
