Nice. What was the paint code? If I do this I will have a my local Maco paint match it.
Thanks, It’s the code for my 2019 Sports appearance package.
J7 Magnetic Metallic.

I deprived it of trying Livernois tunes. I have 5 Star and Unleashed, but also wanted to try Livernois. So, I ordered from them back on April 20. The next day, they emailed me to let me know there was a 4-6 week backorder. I told them that they should have that displayed on the product page (and now they do). Today, being right about four weeks, I wanted to check in. Nope... 4-6 more weeks is likely, beyond the original 4-6 week estimate. So, I cancelled the order... for now. Instead, I'll get the RC level kit installed and the alignment done, as soon as the refund comes in.

Just a fyi. It is a good idea to take your truck to them to match color exactly. The shop I went to, brought out a J7 color chip and we selected the perfect match.

Great advice :) I had that done with both grilles and VIN scan. When I had the surround painted on my Oxford White F150 I was amazed at how many swatches and different shades there was of the same color.

Spent the last hour removing the broken actuator on my Ranger. This is a known issue for those that have 2019 - mid 2020 where the drivers side sticks closed and you only get heat. I found this out last Saturday when it was 106 degrees out. ?

It is covered under warranty but my dealer said it would take a week just to look at it (yes they wanted me to leave it all week!) then another 7-10 days to fix it and that's IF parts are available. It's a fairly easy fix without taking the whole dash apart but you'd better have small hands and be able to squeeze into tight spaces.

A huge thanks to Daniel @dmeyer302 who has a post and video here on how to fix it yourself. As soon as I flipped the white tab up I had ice cold AC blowing on the drivers side again. ?

There's more info in this thread here. But here's a quick picture of the white tab that needs to be moved up. You'll need a long thin flathead screwdriver to get in there. The actuator sits below this in the half rounded pocket. Getting it out isn't easy but it will slide out from the back, pull out the white clip on the back side, tilt it down and it will come out that way. It's a pain because there's a metal support bracket right in the way.

Yeah, but out west their dealing with drought and dust. Here in the east, Va mountains, we get rain every 2-3 days, and the pollen...
I'll take rain and pollen any day.

Good point and it's easier for me to take a Zyrtec than it is to put out 300,000 acres of forest fire. It's a bad one for sure, even shutting down that National Park for the rest of summer.
