No issue for me. And this is not a common issue.
The people that produce bad parts are not using Quality Control anymore and probably, for years/decades... And if you don't use QC, this is what happens...I hear that. I'm a receiving inspector for a large company. I see it on a daily basis. I check EVERY product that comes in against spec sheets, proofs, and samples. If anything doesn't meet the spec, it gets a "non conforming report" and is put into quarantine until either the vendor makes it right, or if this becomes a more frequent issue, the vendor is no longer used. I turn down batches of products on a daily basis for not meeting the standard/spec. The vendors hate me, but my company loves the fact that I catch these issues at the door before the items are used. Saves the company headaches down the road with their customers.
Unfortunately, lots of smaller companies we use do not check their work before it goes out. Either the company simply cannot hire a person to do spot checks on their products or they simply hire people who just don't know or care. This country does not know how to build anything anymore IMHO. Everything is outsourced overseas and we just assemble those pieces hoping it all works together. This country needs to get back to making $h!t HERE!! Ok, I'm done with my morning rant....where's my coffee
The turbocharger part number is LB5Z 6K682 C
Your right it does suck for me and the others that have had similar issue. For you to not have had to deal with this the day you bought your truck is great and what I would have expected for myself.
Thanks! That confirms no turbo charger change for 2022. Same Borg Warner unit as 2019-2021 so that’s a good thing!
That is good news. Its odd how the wastegate arm was tweaked from the factory, but it seems to be a very rare issue so hopefully this one is flawless.
Those arms (external) can get bent as simple as a shipping issue. They are adequate for their designed function but not getting dropped/whacked etc. If it was internal then thats a whole different can of worms
I don't have a Ranger, but (finally) brought my '22 Bronco home this afternoon and this happened...oh, 45 miles into my trip home.
Waste gate arm bent also?
No idea - I *literally* signed the papers early this afternoon at the selling dealer, drove home, and haven't had a chance to get it to our local dealer, who likely can't look at it for about a week, anyway...
Sounds just like my experience with my Ranger. That is about how far I was into my trip home! Hopefully your dealer will get it sorted quickly. Let us know if it was the waste gate motor or the actual waste gate arm inside the turbo. Mine has been flawless since getting the new turbo installed.
Never got it there, as CEL cleared itself and boost was restored.
To be honest I am not sure when it exactly happened. II believe it was when I was getting heavy on the pedal to see what the little motor could do. I heard a chime sound ding, but didn't see any check engine lighting and wasn't sure what the chime was for.
I think the issue was with the wastegate not closing all the way. You would then be essentially dumping boost so that’s why it would feel different.
I don't have any further details but last time I was up at Billy Howell Ford there was a brand new tremor that I was told had a failed turbo. Think it had sub 1,000 miles definitely under 2,000.
