"this email is just to keep you updated in regards to your tunnel cover concern. currently the dealership and I are waiting for a response in regards to an alternative fix for the tunnel cover since it was determined it is not the part, but the 2019 ranger vehicles...
Episode 4 Season 6 Drama!
Finished with my second call to Ford Motor Company Customer service. Again representitive was more then happy to assist me but asked the same question over and over. "Why are you calling us with this?" Seems there is a bit of disconnect between Ford and my dealership...
Episode 3 Season 6 Drama!
Had a "little" bit of wind this weekend. 85mph + while on my trip to watch my niece wrestle. On my way there ran into low visibility due to dust and completely sand blasted my windshield. Fires on the secondary route back home forced me to make a run North later in the...
Not a topper lover but I can appreciate a well made one(ARE, Rhino). Looking for a headache bar to mount lights on but since I've already installed the metal roll up tonneau on my Ranger I've not found one yet.
Unfortunately was unable to do any work on the truck this last weekend. Received bad news from the oil testing, my sample was lost during shipping. Will have to see if I can file a claim for cost of the sample testing that I pre-paid for.
Yesterday had the Ranger in for oil change and recall work. Seat belt and wiring harness checked out good from what I can see on the slip. I seem to be the only person in this area that uses Ford points. Still nagging my Ford Parts guys for a trailer brake controller but still not seeing...

My dealership did not have any of the kits available for the warranty repair. Said if I brought mine in next time for service they had to do an inspection first before even getting anything in.
Thank you, we try to do different set ups every year, next year I've had requests that I do my tunnel again and put on my "Peter Rotten Tail" costume. All I can say is, you get what you asked for! We only have two simple rules, you must make it to the Butcher shop, and you must say the words...
Hahah! I heard the south east NA is getting cold temps of 87 degrees this weekend! The wife and my furry co-pilot are going to go play in the snow at the cabin this weekend.
Babb MT received 55", we received a little over a foot, and twenty miles south by the cabin in the "actual" mountains...
That blog provided a good bit of reading for this slow work day...lol!

Small update, overall MPG is showing increases which is nice. New cover has been installed so I get to see how long this will last. Last time at the track I seem to have figured out a rough ET of 10 sec up to 10.5, of course the driver still needs seat time my tree reaction is abysmal..lol...
Just went through a tonneau cover replacement at my local dealership duel to faulty materials in the last one they installed before I purchased the vehicle. I now have to go back and re-center the cover again so it closes and stays closed...:(
Update on the rear cover, talked to Ford Motor Co and they told me the only way to fix the issue is to replace the entire cover. Spoke to my dealership and they are filing paperwork finally to get it replaced. Will update more if and when the fix happens.
Couple pictures from usage, first is a...
Episode 2 Season 5 Drama!
I've gotten several comments and people like taking pictures of the roll up with the Ford emblem so it was surprising to see the emblem itself starting to not just peel off but disintegrate after only a few months after install. I spoke to the dealership and they asked...
@Jrye22
Minor update,
Sorry for the picture delay, I've been busy with family and work.
Fortunately I've been too busy to get wiring done since the leader of our SAR unit asked if my transmitter was available for next weeks County Fair. We do First Aid and security at the fairgrounds and our...
