I knew common wear and tear on batteries, starters, and some likely engine wear and tear.
‘But seems these Ford Cam phasers really don’t like the start stop feature.

‘Ran across this video break down yet another reason to get a start stop eliminator .



Seems to be making a valid point?

I did not have ASS on my 2010 Ford F150 with the V8. In 105,000 miles over 11 years, I had one new battery, no starter issues, no cam phaser issues. Changed the oil/filter every 5K miles. I never pushed the override button on my 2021 F 150 3.5L and had to replace the battery with a larger AGM at 21K miles. Lots of tech differences between years, obviously, and my truck went into sleep mode a lot from all the electric vampires. But am very glad to have the 4D Tech ASS eliminator installed in my 2025 Ranger. Get one.

I'm going to try this, but I can't today. Have a family function to attend shortly. good to hear you have a backup plan via cc1999! I'll report back tomorrow. thanks buddy!

Any luck? Mine is in thanks to CC1999 and his employee, Ben, with small hands. Timed Ben, after glove box lid off, had the plug out in three seconds. Connected it in less than ten seconds. With tidying up, 38 seconds, total. Man, he's good. Didn't want a tip.

Couple of things (total is <100 bucks) you can do on your first week of ownership. First - If you have the Rngr/Rptr and you go off trail - you'll be super happy spending $45 bucks and about 40 minutes installing the Adventure Lab trailer plug relocate kit.

(I'll admit to happily grinding off that bit of short sighted design with some gleeful joy... )

Second: lay down some old cardboard under your truck on a warm day and hit the predominant uncoated (or lightly coated) metal bits with some 3M cavity wax. (about $40 bucks on Amzn) It's a good & basic first step if you plan on hitting any salt during your season.

sorry for the delay. Indeed, I got it installed! what I found that worked was to press the tab on the back, then push up on the plug a little bit, and I heard a snap. Then, still pressing in on the tab on the back, I used a small flat head screw driver to pull down on the front face of the tab. There's a small indent on that front face of the plug, easy for the flat head to help with the downward force. Had it out in less than 5 seconds!

I'm happy to say, I'm A.S.S. free!!!!

is this something I didn't know I needed?

I suppose this is you @John E Davies ?

This fits 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. I took off a star because the design is not quite fully refined. It needs to be a bright color like orange or yellow, or else it should include a tether that can go around the filler neck. Otherwise, this black cap is going to get lost or forgotten, for example roll under the vehicle in the dark at a gas station. A bright color would make it simple to locate. JD Spokane WA

i always think about that mech at the ford dealer that said he has been working for ford for over 20 years and starters and batteries became hot replacement items when auto start became an item. he said he tells everyone to turn it off somehow or they are going to spend lots of money replacing those two items

I had one of those on my F150, I've tried to find one for my Ranger, Ford's website says this one doesn't fit our Rangers. Do you have one and how is the fit?

 

[POULINR]

I just purchased a safe for the center console and love it….key or code keep cash and extra card -

 

[SoulMafia]

Inquiring minds want to know. Does this fit your Ranger?
