What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Bob902]

Ugh. I have no luck with these LED turn signals. The right one always seems to fill up with water eventually.

What brand are these?

To Pee With during Tactical Situations

30k or 35k I don’t remember. Did Ford company directly email me? No they never do. Did the dealership tell me? Yes. Last inspection was like 10 or 15k miles.

There is a suggested schedule in the ye ole owners manual that may or may not be in your glove box of what items are recommended and at what mileage. I'd bet someone on here has that schedule pretty handy (at least 5 people). Try to do the services earlier than expected and less problems arise.

If you can do them on your own, cool. If you need the dealer to do it, then DO NOT let them talk you into "the works or whatever". They should respect what you have done and when, especially if you document it. Its a Ford Warranty, NOT the DEALER's.

And since you are looking for a new dealer, ask around, get referrals, and then stop by and talk to someone you can go to when you are ready for dealer necessary repairs.

@LevittownFordParts.com parts has good deals on their site for parts, and even you need help for what is not on there, Benny is a great resource.

Hopefully this helps for the good of the cause!

I appreciate all the advice! My warranty is gone and no more dealer work for me unless the book states it. I forget to check there, thanks for the reminder

Oh yeah, Levittownford is familiar with me. I’ve spent thousands there.

I’ll make sure to do my good research about dealerships on next vehicle I buy

Let's see.

- I washed it.

- Had time to figure out how to remove the fog lights, then installed one of my new Morimoto Fogs.

- Waited for it to get a bit darker to see alignment with the other factory light, and low and behold, perfect!

- Had a few minutes before dinner, so I pulled the other factory foglight. So I'll finish it up tomorrow.

- Also put a trickle charger on the battery as it has been sitting a while. Thanks to a video on here somewhere about charging it correctly. Tired of getting the notice on the app about some remote features being disabled.

I think I might switch to tinted. Two sets of clear have yellowed over time in the sun.

I've always had luck with "PlastX". Used em on headlights, gauge cluster covers, ect.

Should work on those markers.

So I took off the Nerf bars I had on the truck and put these TAC Sidewinders on.
Opinions from anybody on how they look? I'm thinking they stick out too much, although I get a good step-up when entering/exiting the truck.
I know they would look much better if the truck was lifted/leveled but I have no intentions of doing so. I do no off-roading. The wifey likes them and to be honest my fat gut appreciates the help getting in and out. They are the same or a tad less width as the side mirrors when they're fully extended on the truck.
I saw a couple pics from reviews that really didn't show them sticking out so much. If anything they'll give me some door protection from the parking lot imbeciles.

Needs curb feelers.

NOTHING like Old School. Just like the Bobble head dog in the back of my Uncle Pat's '64 Falcon.
Always made us laugh. Good Times

How about the online manual.

Our Bronco has the owners manual in the settings on the infotainment screen. Its getting easier!

I ignored my Ranger and might have made it a bit jealous as I paid some much-needed attention to my VW. Changed the engine air filter and cabin air filter. As easy and accessible as in our Rangers.

Filthy - completely my fault - have been paying too much attention to my Ranger.

I thought your maintenance game was better than that? Nasty dude! ? ? ?
