Secrets, Tips & Tricks...Post Them Here

Thanks i try that but autohold normally once u go it turns off ,,, this is more like tyres dont want to roll when turned in.

Mine would lock everytime I touched the brakes as I inched up to the back wall of my garage. Had to hit the gas to get it to move. Really hurky jerky. Other suggestion that you are in 4H would be my next suggestion also.

Sounds like you're in 4H which would explain the 10MPG US as well. I'm getting double that driving in 2H.

Yes it works,,, doesn't brake when in 2h and turning,, 1 thing solved thanks it was killing me jajaja...

I searched for a thread that covered the subject line above and found nothing, so I will start the one secret that I know of.

***Rolling the windows down remotely***

As you approach your truck, press the "unlock" button on your remote twice, holding the button down on the second press. A few seconds later, all windows will roll down if you continue to hold the button. I love this feature in the summer months to cool down the interior of my truck before I get in.

Okay...who's got the next tip, trick or secret for the group?

Well worth the $17

Nice. One recommendation for you, replace the chapstick with a lip balm tube. Something already in liquid/gel form. When you vehicle gets hot, that stick is going to melt and possibly leak into your center console. I learned this from my motorcycles.

By-the-way, how is it mounted inside the lid?

I guarantee you can acrivate it with forscan. If you were close, i would meet you and do it for you

Oh, no worries... wasn't aware it was available with a slight FORScan tweak, I must have scanned right past it when looking for things I wanted to change and annoyances to get rid of. I'll check it out, thanks for the heads up.

I went to the Amazon site and it says they do not fit a 2024 Ranger?

Yeah, I believe I plugged my vehicle in on Amazon as well and it said the same thing. I took the sellers word for it, knowing I could return if any issues... they fit perfectly and are on my Raptor now. And like I also said, I tried one of the cheaper sets available and they worked for crap, with one of the struts actually popping off the mounting ball. Redline uses different mounting points, that solved this issue. Plus the cheaper ones didn't lift the hood nearly as high as the Redline.

Helo,, im new here,, what u mean eco ?? Mine sits at 23l/100km. Only have 2k km...

Also if someone can answer this..
When i drive into my garage or want to do a tight turn at slow speed,, parking,,, feels like my brake is on at the front and tire doesnt want to move,, feels like fighting the brake???

Actually talking about 2 different things here... ECO mode enabling through FORScan, as an addition to Normal mode and Sport mode for hopefully better fuel economy. Nothing to do with the Redline hood struts I also mentioned.

Install ceramic tint, like LLumar, on all the windows, including the windshield and factory tinted windows. The interior temps will be closer to ambient than oven, and your skin will thank you.

Do you install over factory tint? I dont know anything about tint and havent heard of this before.

Yes. I used the Air series over the factory tint and windshield. It's like 70 or 80%, so virtually clear. You can still add a dark strip along the top of the windshield as well (I went with something around 15%). The ceramic in the film is what rejects the heat, and the UV block is in the film. Whatever I used on the front strip is what is on the front doors. With the "clear" over the rears, they are every so slightly darker than the fronts.

3M and other brands makes similar film, but I've had good luck with Llumar over the last 25 years.

Pics from the driver's seat with the tint.

Adding to @pablo94sc comments...concur there's no issue with tint application over factory windows.

Quality ceramic film works coupled with professional install is likely the best solution for interior UV protection, heat rejection and a bit more 'privacy'/cosmetic enhancement.
An example - my application:

• Windshield - 70%; full coverage [no degradation to low light clarity including night time]
• Fronts - 55%; driver & passenger sides
• Rears - 70%; driver & passenger sides + rear

Tinting a windshield is such a profoundly bad idea for reasons that *should* be obvious.

Omg. How did I not know this? /s

I'm going to have to agree with myself on this one. You can see perfectly fine out of the windshield, and with the windows down, can see perfectly well into the vehicle.
